Archaeologists find remnants of a vast network of roads and villages in the Amazon
JR, GREENIE WATCH - 22 hours ago
*Warmists always picture the Amazon region as an untouched pristine forest that is only now being "raped" by man, thus destroying the "lungs of the planet?".That is far from the truth, The reality is that the Amazon region was much like the Inca and Aztec regions -- it had a flourishing native population with a city-based civilization. Specialists have long known that but it has never penetrated the popular awareness. The jungle cover over the Amazon, far from being pristine, dates back only to about 400 years ago -- when the Amazonians, like the Incas and Aztecs, were overwh...

Want to Make America Mad? Target a U.S. Aircraft Carrier
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, Asia* Since the 1950s, the supercarrier has been the most visible representation of U.S. military power and maritime hegemony. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Launching an attack against a carrier represents a profound political-military decision to escalate the stakes of a conflict, and it is unlikely that a tactical commander (a sub skipper, for example) would be allowed to make such a decision on his or her own. If such an attack ever takes place during a crisis or a conflict, the policymakers on either side (not to mention the rest of the world)...
Sharnhorst: This German Battlecruiser Was a Cursed Vessel
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* The ship met its fate at the hands of the Royal Navy in late 1943. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The German battle cruiser Scharnhorst was plagued by hard luck throughout her career. Because the victorious Allies had destroyed Imperial Germany’s fleet after World War I, Adolf Hitler had no choice but to construct a new navy after he came to power. This worked to his partial advantage since, although Britain’s massive fleet vastly outnumbered Nazi Germany’s, its ships were generally older, slower, and more thinly armored than the sleek...
Is China's L-15 Fighter the Poor Man's F-35?
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* The Falcon offers an affordable alternative. *Here's What You Need to Know*: For developing countries that don't expect to fight a major military power, jets like the Falcon could perform basic air defense and precision ground-attack missions. Flying a high-performance jet fighter is a physically and mentally demanding skill that requires a lot of practice—but each hour flying a warplane can cost tens of thousands of dollars in fuel and maintenance expenses. That's why air forces employ lighter, easier-handling Lead-In Fighter Trainers (LIFTs)...
Explained: Russia’s Nuclear-Powered Delta-class Submarines
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, * The Soviet Union appreciated the need for a sea-based deterrent from an early point in the Cold War. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Interest in hunting and killing Deltas (as well as the larger Typhoons that began to enter service in the 1980s) led to the development of the Seawolf-class SSN. We don’t have a good sense of what the Soviet reaction to a direct, conventional attack on their nuclear deterrent would have been, but there’s little reason to believe it would have been good or helpful to the NATO cause. Between 1972 and 1992, the Soviet...
