A long-dead professor spearheads a massive propaganda campaign
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 14 hours ago
The BBC has an intriguing report about what appears to be a very extensive propaganda campaign from Indian sources, directed against Pakistan. It includes the apparent identity theft of a long-dead professor, whose name was used for years as if he were still alive. It's a long, complex story that needs to be read in full to get the big picture. Nevertheless, here are a couple of excerpts to whet your appetite. A dead professor and numerous defunct organisations were resurrected and used alongside at least 750 fake media outlets *[some shown below]* in a vast 15-year global ...

China Launches 'Gray-Zone' Warfare To Subdue Taiwan
War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 13 hours ago
*Reuters:* *Special Report-China launches 'gray-zone' warfare to subdue Taiwan * TAIPEI (Reuters) - Months after eliminating a popular challenge to its rule in Hong Kong, China is turning to an even higher-stakes target: self-governing Taiwan. The island has been bracing for conflict with China for decades, and in some respects, that battle has now begun. It’s not the final, titanic clash that Taiwan has long feared, with Chinese troops storming the beaches. Instead, the People’s Liberation Army, China’s two-million-strong military, has launched a form of “gray zone” warfare. In...

Yes, the U.S. Navy Really Does Want 500 Ships

*Kris Osborn* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC2HIK9J983Q&share=true] A lot of those warships will need to be drones in order to afford a bigger fleet. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley is directly, and without hesitation, saying that a much larger 500-ship U.S. Navy will be necessary to contain Chinese expansionist ambitions. “We’re going to have to have a much larger fleet than we have today, if we’re serious about great power competition and deterring great power war, and if we’re ser...
Coronavirus Relief Package: No Unemployment Benefits or $600 Stimulus Checks?
Rachel Bucchino, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Rachel Bucchino* *Politics, Americas* The Trump administration’s proposal comes as a bipartisan group of lawmakers unveiled another coronavirus relief package that’s received widespread support on Capitol Hill, but its framework grants $300 weekly unemployment bonuses and no stimulus checks. White House negotiators put forward a $916 billion economic relief proposal on Tuesday—likely a nonstarter for Democrats—as the package cuts federal unemployment insurance but offers scanty stimulus checks, provisions that have served as the party’s top priorities in past negotiations. Trea...
M1 Abrams: Why This Old U.S. Tank Still Dominates the Battlefield

*Mark Episkopos* *M1 Abrams, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2014%3Anewsml_GM1EAB61CMG01&share=true] This weapon platform became a powerhouse like few others. One of the most iconic U.S. tanks ever produced, the M1 Abrams has distinguished itself over the course of four decades as one of the U.S. Army’s most reliable and long-lived main battle tank (MBT) platforms. Twenty years into the Cold War competition, the U.S. Army’s MBT roster—headlined by the increasingly uncompetitive M60 Patton—was becoming outdated in light of consistent So...

Bruce K. Gagnon, Organizing Notes - 13 hours ago
- Glenn Greenwald writes: Joe Biden’s pick to be the next Secretary of Defense is recently retired Gen. Lloyd J. Austin, III. The choice of Gen. Austin further erodes the once-sacred American norm that military officials will be barred from exercising control over the Pentagon until substantial time has passed after leaving active-duty military service. Before Gen. Austin can be confirmed, Biden will need a special waiver from Congress under the National Security Act of 1947. That law, a cornerstone of the post-World War II national security state, provides ...

Its Darker Angels

Erin O'Toole wants to put a kinder, gentler face on his party. But, Bob Hepburn writes, since he became the Conservative leader, he has pandered to the party's darker angels: The Conservative party has increasingly become the home of far-right conspiracists, COVID-19 anti-vaxxers, emboldened hard-line gun lovers and politicians spouting anti-socialist hysterics. Through all of this O’Toole has tried to appease the worst elements in the Conservative fold by issuing vague statements that say nothing, neither condemning nor praising the actors who are now defining the party as it pr...
