China Beware: Japan’s Hypersonic Anti-Ship Missile is Coming
David Axe, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, Asia* A guided missile traveling faster than five times the speed of sound is a “hypersonic” weapon. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The new missile is years away from front-line service, but already is causing controversy, *Mainichi *explained. “Some legislators in the Diet have pointed out that acquisition of the new capabilities could ‘make it possible for the [Self-Defense Forces, i.e. the Japanese armed forces] to directly attack other countries' territories’ and ‘deviate from Japan's exclusively defense-oriented policy.’" The Japanese military is...
Poisoning Didn't Stop Alexei Navalny – But a Prison Sentence Might
Alexander Titov, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Alexander Titov* *Politics, Europe* Navalny clearly wants to remain relevant politically and decided that the only way to do it is to be in Russia. But the dramatic entry aside, how is he planning on doing it from prison? After the dramatic flight into Moscow by Russian opposition figurehead Alexei Navalny – who arrived on a plane full of journalists, live streamed his defiant speech on arrival and was promptly detained at passport control – the basic question is: “What’s his plan?” It had been clear for some time that he would be arrested as soon as he set foot in Russia – the...
Aircraft Shortages Could Undermine America’s Pacific Strategy
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, * America's airpower is being overworked and under-maintained. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *There are the usual no-brainer solutions for American airpower: more planes, better maintenance, fewer deployments. But the real problem is that the U.S. military has to prepare for a variety of missions, including peacekeeping or counterinsurgency operations that may be not combat-heavy, but are maintenance-intensive. Like a trucking company with too few trucks and too many deliveries, America's airpower is being overworked and under-maintained. Two studi...
How the Israeli Military Came to Dominate the Middle East
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, * Built on a foundation of pre-independence militias, supplied with cast-off World War II weapons, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have enjoyed remarkable success in the field. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The technology that binds all of these other systems together is the Israeli soldier. Since 1948 (and even before) Israel has committed the best of its human capital to the armed forces. Since 1948, the state of Israel has fielded a frighteningly effective military machine. Built on a foundation of pre-independence militias, supplied with cast...
Challenges to Democracy in the US Have Prompted Soul-Searching in Europe
Amelia Hadfield, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Amelia Hadfield* *Politics, Europe* Europe is going to need something really substantial to rebuild trust in democracy at home. While Biden is fighting to rebuild his country, the EU needs to accept that it has permitted some perfidious descents of its own in both its domestic and foreign policy. In the wake of the shocking events in Washington, DC, the EU’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, published a blog laden with sound and fury, beseeching Europeans to heed the “wake-up call for all democracy advocates around the world world” and to “stand up immediately to every violat...
What Media and Politicians Get Wrong about "Taxpayer Money"
Jonathan Barrett, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Jonathan Barrett* *Politics, Europe* Both reputable media and politicians of every stripe invariably use the phrase “taxpayer money” to describe government funds, despite the phrase having no constitutional or legal basis. Rhetoric plays an important role in tax debate and therefore tax policy. If your side manages to gain traction in the public imagination with labels such as “death tax” or “dementia tax”, you have gone a long way to normalising the labels and winning support. Some truth underpins these particular labels — an estate tax is triggered by a person’s death, and th...
