Do you believe in coincidences when it comes to politics? Nah, I didn’t think so. I’ve been reading posts in many places that AT&T had a contract to do the forensic auditing on a number of Dominion voting machines from areas accused of voter fraud. So, where were these voting machines? Answer: In Nashville, TN where just by chance an RV laden with explosives just so happened to explode and tear the AT&T building apart at 6:45 AM this morning. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence. 🙂 ~ Hardnox

Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 6 hours ago
Back in 2019, Payday was one of the few national outlets in the country to cover the first-ever statewide teachers strike in South Carolina. Now, teachers in school districts throughout South Carolina are increasingly calling “sickout” strikes to protest unsafe COVID conditions. A growing sickout strike in the suburbs of the state capitol Columbia is now entering its second week. Our friends at The State have the story: “Our main thing is to go back to the hybrid model,” said an Airport High School teacher, who asked to remain anonymous. Schools in the district previously opera...

For the families of eight water protectors in Honduras, there will be no holiday season this year. They will continue to fight for the freedom of their loved ones who have each been jailed for up to two years for participating in a struggle to keep iron ore mining out of the headwaters of the rivers they depend on. “It is the start of a new stage of struggle, a stage of unity and we are not going to stay at home,” said Juana Zúniga, the wife of one of the eight imprisoned water protectors, during a December 21 press conference, “The joy of spending Christmas with family has been t...

Drop the Load: Why a U.S. F-15 Dropped Millions in Missiles into the Ocean
Jeff Schogol, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Jeff Schogol* *Security, * Whoops. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *That the F-15 fired its missile rather than simply dropping them is itself a rare occurrence, per the War Zone, but ditching the missiles was an expensive choice: the F-15's standard alert loudout of four AIM-120C AMRAAMs and a pair of AIM-9X Sidewinders likely cost the Pentagon $4.5 million — at least. An Oregon Air National Guard F-15C Eagle that made an emergency landing ditched its entire arsenal of live air-to-air missiles before touching down at Portland International Airport, The War Zone reports back...
Stealth Shot Down: In 1999 Serbia Took Out an F-117 Nighthawk

*Sebastien Roblin* *History, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C1996%3Anewsml_RP1DRIGNDPAA&share=true] Even an older anti-air system managed to hit the plane. *Key point:* Stealth planes are powerful, but it is not as thought they are invisible or have shields. They can still be found and attacked under the right conditions. At 8 p.m. on March 27, 1999, a bizarre-looking black painted airplane cut through the night sky over Serbia. This particular F-117 Nighthawk—a subsonic attack plane that was the world’s first operational stealth aircra...
Why Jeane J. Kirkpatrick Had It Right

*Tom Switzer* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_RC1587B67C10&share=true] Circumstances alter cases, and America should pull out of at least one outdated alliance that Kirkpatrick identified in 1990. THIRTY YEARS ago, the quintessential neoconservative Jeane J. Kirkpatrick argued in The National Interest that the United States should now become “a normal country in a normal time.” The Cold War had been a special, aberrant case in the American experience, justifying an extraordinary level of global commitment and a...
Why Joe Biden Must Engage China
Kishore Mahbubani, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Kishore Mahbubani* *Security, Americas* If the Biden administration were to attempt a complete reboot of American strategy towards China, it could chart a new path while picking up concrete benefits for the American economy and chipping away at Trump’s political base. JOE BIDEN’S hands are tied. Even if he wants to shift course and adopt a more moderate or nuanced policy towards China, he won’t be able to do it. A massive bipartisan consensus against China has developed in the American body politic. With Donald Trump receiving over 70 million votes, and Republican gains in the ...

*Gideon Rachman* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC2UZJ9VE2ME&share=true] Washington’s concern is about Beijing’s efforts to expand its global influence through illegitimate means—in particular, by threatening to use military force or economic coercion to intimidate its neighbors. IN THE four years since Joe Biden was last in the White House, Xi Jinping’s China has become more authoritarian at home and more aggressive overseas. This change in China’s behavior presents the Biden administration with both its bigg...

*Paul R.

A SUCCESSFUL presidency for Joe Biden would repair the most serious damage left over from America’s fling with a demagogue. More precisely, it would fix as much of the damage as would be in Biden’s power as president to fix, beginning with a restoration of truth, ethics, and the rule of law to...

What if World War III Started in Asia? Billons Would Have Died
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Both the Soviets and the Americans had options in Asia. The strategic environment was far more fluid than in Europe, allowing a variety of different choices to disrupt and destabilize the opponent. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Much like the Eastern Front in World War I, the military situation in Asia is much more fluid than in Europe. The distances involved are greater, and there are a number of players whose actions in such a conflict would be uncertain. Therefore, in 1984, the Naval War College ran an exercise examining w...
One Killer Helicopter: Meet Europe’s Flying Tiger HAP
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Europe* In 2009, the Tiger showed it had some serious claws when three of the helicopters were deployed to Afghanistan, and the aircraft was then deployed to Libya in 2011. Developed as a joint venture between MBB and Aerospatiale that began in 1984, the Eurocopter EC665 Tiger was planned to meet the French and German military requirements for an advanced multirole helicopter for battlefield operations. However, the project was all but extinct on arrival. Due to high costs, the initial program was canceled in 1986. It was determined that supplying the Ge...
