This is the revolution that I see coming to America
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 11 hours ago
I don't want to write this blog post. I'm certainly not calling for violent revolution, and I won't participate in the sorts of acts I'm going to describe here. However, I've lived through or passed through violent revolution, civil unrest, insurrection and general political mayhem in three countries, and I've seen this at first hand. The elements I'm about to describe happened in *every one of them*, and they are also evident in other countries that endured violent revolutions, whose survivors wrote about what they saw and experienced. I figure someone has to put this out ...
CNN + Bellingcat's Latest Russian Novichok Lies
Land Destroyer, Land Destroyer - 16 hours ago
*December 23, 2020* (Brian Berletic - LD) - CNN and US government-funded war propaganda outfit "Bellingcat" teamed up to "investigate" the alleged poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. Despite multiple reports - each several pages long - ultimately CNN admitted that they were unable to conclude who actually poisoned Navalny - also admitting there was no evidence that Russian FSB agents they claim followed Navalny played any role at all in the alleged crime. I break down CNN and Bellingcat's innuendo-filled report, their full admission that ultimately they were u...
An SR-71 with Missiles? Meet the Cancelled YF-12 Interceptor
Alex Hollings, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Alex Hollings* *History, * The SR-71 Blackbird may be among the most iconic airframes of the Cold War, but this incredibly fast design wasn’t always intended to serve only as a high-flying set of eyes. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The U.S. Air Force’s order for 93 F-12B interceptor fighters was originally placed on hold for three long years, due largely to the ever-climbing costs of the war in Vietnam. At the same time, the Soviet Union was having new success with the R-7A Semyorka intercontinental ballistic missile — a design based on the world’s first such missile, the...
Little-Known Fact: In 1862, the Confederacy Tried to Build a Helicopter

The Battle of Midway Was More Important than D-Day
Connor Martin, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Connor Martin* *History, Asia-Pacific* [image: Wikimedia Commons] It was at Midway where the U.S. demonstrated effective combat capability very early on – inflicting severe damage on a motivated and experienced enemy. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Midway was, in many ways, a more decisive battle than D-Day. The loss of four of Japan's carriers stopped the Rising Sun dead in its tracks, giving America space to reinforce the Pacific - and slowly retake it. Thursday, June 6th saw the 75th anniversary of the Allied invasion at Normandy, the amphibious assault phase of Operati...
Forget 1939, Imperial Japan Almost Started World War II in 1937
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* The prospect of war with Japan and the possibility of abandoning China both gained some public traction following the attack and its resulting publicity. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *It was rogue Japanese officers who were behind the attack, not the Japanese government. The chaos spawned by the Japanese attack of Nanking may have provided what those elements considered an opportunity to further their own aims. They almost succeeded. In December 1937, four years before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor propelled the United States...

Russia’s T-14 Armata Tank Could Give NATO Some Real Trouble
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Europe* But it’s far from perfect. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Instead of an expensive new tank, Russia thinks it better to upgrade its older tanks. The Armata “became a hostage of many new technologies and systems introduced into it.” Does Russia’s much-vaunted T-14 Armata tank have problems? There is evidence that the next-generation tank, which has caused a stir in Western defense circles, has run into difficulties, according to Russian defense publication Military-Industrial Courier. Writer Oleg Falichev uses a bit of inductive reasoning. He...
Black Candidates Are Electable and Can Win in Swing Districts
Jacob Smith, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Jacob Smith* *Politics, The Americas* Conventional wisdom previously held that Black Democratic candidates struggled to win swing congressional districts due to racial prejudice among white voters. That's a misconception. During the 2020 presidential election, there was a lot of discussion about what makes an electable candidate. Is it someone who is moderate? A candidate who can turn out the base? Do other attributes of the candidate matter? In my research, I looked at one specific characteristic of potential electability: the candidate’s race. Conventional wisdom previously ...
Why Did the Trump Administration Roll-Back Water-Saving Standards for Showerheads?
Robert Glennon, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Robert Glennon* *Politics, The Americas* Until recently, these standards had bipartisan support. For more than 25 years, Congress has directed U.S. government agencies to set energy and water efficiency standards for many new products. These measures conserve resources and save consumers a lot of money. Until recently, they had bipartisan support. But President Trump has turned efficiency standards into symbols of intrusive government. His administration has opposed many of these rules, including standards for light bulbs, commercial boilers, portable air conditioners and low-f...
Could a Naval Blockade Bring China to Its Knees?
Sean Mirski, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Sean Mirski* *Security, Asia* It won’t be easy. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *If the United States were able to assemble its minimum coalition of India, Japan and Russia—a task that would hinge on China’s aggressive behavior—then China’s rate of economic exhaustion would sharply accelerate even as the United States gained the political support it would need to continue a blockading strategy indefinitely. In this context, while the United States would not be able to use Beijing’s dependence on maritime trade to defeat China decisively in one short blow, it would still be a...
