Worth the Cost: The L115A3 Rifle is One Accurate Sniper
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, World* The new L115A3 was first fielded by the 16 Air Assault Brigade in Helmand in 2008. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The L115A3 bolt-action rifle was developed to have an effective range of 1,500 to 1,700 meters—compared to that of the .50 BMG cartridge. The .338 Lapua Magnum had less significantly less kinetic energy, but in some cases could penetrate armored glass. Military rifles have long had a more utilitarian appearance but for good reason. The rifles needed to be durable, rugged and even useable as a heavy club if all else failed. The exc...

*Kris Osborn* *Security, Americas* It is possible that robotic ammunition platforms could help identify the kind of ammunition needed for a particular attack. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *The Army seeks self-guiding, auto-loading robots empowered to arm combat vehicles and move ammunition from one platform to another quickly while reducing risk to soldiers and coordinating combined joint attacks. The emerging artificial intelligence-centric system seeks to resolve a resupply problem often confronted by attacking forces traveling with finite amounts of ammunition. Further...
Beware Beijing’s Long-Term Strategy of Division
Michael Ryan, Valbona Zeneli, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Michael Ryan, Valbona Zeneli* *Security, Asia* China’s Belt and Road Initiative and “17+1” cooperative plan will inevitably create a real stress test for the cohesion of the European Union. Making consensus decisions at the speed of relevance is the principle challenge confronting President Joe Biden’s renewed multilateralism. The world is a competitive place in which freedom and innovation thrive, but it is also one in which democratically-elected governments face a significant disadvantage: Authoritarian regimes can make decisions faster, marshal resources more quickly, and s...

NO, IT WON'T DO
Steve M., No More Mister Nice Blog - 15 hours ago
Under the headline "It'll Do," David Frum grades Donald Trump's second impeachment on a curve: The 57–43 margin wasn’t enough to convict under the Constitution. It wasn’t enough to formally disqualify Trump from ever again seeking office in the United States. But practically? It will do as a solemn and eternal public repudiation of Trump’s betrayal of his oath of office. You say that you are disappointed? That a mere rebuke was not enough? That justice was not done? It wasn’t. But now see the world from the other side, through the eyes of those who defend Trump or even want him to ...
Republicans Unmasked
Owen Gray, Northern Reflections - 15 hours ago
They needed seventeen Republican votes to convict Donald Trump. They got seven. The final count was decisive -- 57 for conviction, 43 against. In one sense, the senate saw Trump for who he is. But given that 67 votes were required for conviction, there is another obvious conclusion. The Republicans have been unmasked. The whole world sees who they are. Frank Bruni writes: I keep thinking about the late 1990s, Bill Clinton, that whole melodrama and how Republicans used it in the service of a particular identity for their party. I keep thinking about what a lie that identity was the...
