Paulo Coelho, "The Bird And The Cage"
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 6 hours ago
*"The Bird And The Cage"* by Paulo Coelho "Once upon a time, there was a bird. He was adorned with two perfect wings and with glossy, colorful, marvelous feathers. One day, a woman saw this bird and fell in love with him. She invited the bird to fly with her, and the two travelled across the sky in perfect harmony. She admired and venerated and celebrated that bird. But then she thought: He might want to visit far-off mountains! And she was afraid, afraid that she would never feel the same way about any other bird. And she thought: “I’m going to set a trap. The next time the bird a...

How lucky for President Joe Biden that, just as he’s announced a wide-ranging review of U.S. China policy (after he and his supposedly fellow foreign policy mavens spent the entire presidential campaign lambasting Donald Trump’s initiatives and clearly conveying that they knew exactly how to fix these alleged blunders), a wavelet of advice has appeared offering answers, a...

*Peter Garretson* *Space Force, Americas* The Space Force is an indispensable part of that forward-looking vision; it represents a key instrument of American technological leadership and diplomacy. This week, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki stated definitively that the Space Force “absolutely has the full support of the Biden administration.” It’s a wise move. Psaki also tweeted an invitation to the members of the Space Force team to “visit us in the briefing room anytime to share an update on their important work.” What might Space Force officials have to say?

Lessons: How Turkey Nearly Destroyed Its Own Air Force
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Middle East* The Turkish government purged more than 300 F-16 pilots in the aftermath of a failed coup. *Key Point*: Perhaps it would have been easier not to get rid of those F-16 pilots. Fighter pilots aren't cheap. The U.S. Air Force estimates that training a new pilot to fly a plane like the F-35 costs $11 million. And that doesn't count the priceless experience of a veteran pilot who has been flying for years. That's why the U.S. Air Force is willing to offer half-million-dollar bonuses to retain experienced fighter pilots. So a nation that throws ...
