With none of the usual fanfare associated with such a momentous decision, the Pentagon announced last month a major reorganisation to bring Israel - for the first time - inside its military command in the Middle East alongside the Arab states. Until now, Israel has belonged to the US military’s European command, or Eucom, rather than the Middle Eastern one, known as Central Command, or Centcom. The decision effectively jettisoned the traditional wisdom that Israel’s inclusion in Centcom would increase friction between the US and Arab states, and would make the latter more reluctan...

Fox News cancels “Lou Dobbs Tonight”
Alex Christoforou, The Duran - 14 hours ago
Another shakeup at Fox News. The popular “Lou Dobbs Tonight” show has been axed by Fox News. The cancelation of the pro-Trump Lou Dobbs comes a day after voting software company SmartMatic filed a $2.7 billion defamation suit against Fox News and three of its hosts – Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro – over voting-machine-fraud claims.

Russian Submarines Can Now Nuke a City Without Leaving Port
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Eurasia* Russian submarines can now launch cruise missiles while docked in port. Thus, Russian subs can fire their weapons more quickly, without the need to sail into open water. But more ominously, because subs abruptly leaving port is considered a warning sign that hostilities are imminent, the ability to launch missiles while dockside makes a surprise attack easier. *Russian media also touted the dockside missile launch as another demonstration of the power of new Yasen-class nuclear attack submarines such as the Severodvinsk. With a massive, 14,000-t...
Will Josh Hawley Run for President in 2024?
Rachel Bucchino, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Rachel Bucchino* *Politics, Americas* Hawley, whose upper chamber seat is up-for-grabs in 2024, has firmly rejected the presidential speculations, noting that his focus is on serving Missouri. It looks like Sen. Josh Hawley’s (R-Mo.) political ambitions ignited way before he swiped a Democratic incumbent’s seat in the 2018 midterm elections. “Josh Hawley, president 2024,” Hawley wrote when he signed a friend’s eighth-grade yearbook. The same yearbook labeled Hawley and the book's owner, “future presidents,” *Kansas City Star* reported. Hawley is now among the growing list of c...
China Wants to Beat You in a War with Attack Helicopters and Drones
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, * A strange mix? The future of warfare is manned-unmanned teaming between manned platforms and robots (or at least until fully autonomous robots fight on their own). With the United States and Russia vigorously pursuing that concept, it’s no surprise that China is testing attack helicopters operating alongside UAVs. “While various countries have tested drone swarms or full-size aircraft working with UAVs in a so-called Cooperative Engagement Capability, this appears to be a new development for the PLA,” according to the U.S. Army’s Foreign Military Stud...
Israel's Iron Dome: Just How Good Is It?
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Middle East* That might be hard to figure out. Here’s why. Israel’s Iron Dome is more than a missile defense system. It’s practically an icon, a symbol of how technological creativity can enable one rocket to knock another rocket out of the sky. But did the system fail earlier this month? And what does this mean for the U.S. military’s planned buy of Iron Dome? Any thoughts of an invulnerable missile shield evaporated when Hamas fired six-hundred-and-ninety rockets and mortar shells from Gaza into Israel earlier this month. Out of that six-hundred-and-n...
Not Classified: Check Out Japan’s Plan to Sink China’s Navy In a War
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Asia* “The plan involves extending the range of Japan's supersonic ASM-3 air-to-ship missiles, which are said to have a range of less than 200 kilometers [124 miles], to over 400 km [249 miles], with the aim of beefing up Tokyo's ability to defend a chain of outlying islands in the southwest,” according to Japan’s Mainichi newspaper. *Japan already plans to deploy F-35B stealth fighters on carrier-like “helicopter-destroyers.” A new air warfare strategy would incorporate American-made standoff air-to-surface missiles. A long-range anti-ship missile woul...
Would Cheaper, Smaller Submarines Be a Better Fit for the Navy?
David Axe, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, Americas* Better than another boondoggle... *Key point: *Another generation of submarines is needed for the fleet. But should they necessarily be expensive, high-tech boats? The U.S. Navy already is beginning to plan for its next class of attack submarine, a high-tech -- and potentially very expensive -- new vessel to succeed the *Virginia*-class boats that the sailing branch currently is buying. The new SSN(X), which could begin production in the early 2030s, should be something radically new and not a mere upgrade of an existing submarine, James Holmes ...

Juggling Variables
Owen Gray, Northern Reflections - 15 hours ago
Ontario has begun to re-open its schools. However, Martin Regg Cohn writes there is no one correct answer to schools reopening. That's because the virus -- and our knowledge about it -- is evolving: One year after COVID-19 changed our world, the only certainty is that there are no certainties. There is only risk tolerance — and rhetoric tolerance. COVID-19 is a moving target, so we must adapt. A year ago we were told to forget masks, wash our hands faithfully and clean countertops relentlessly to kill infectious fomites lurking everywhere. Today we know that masks are our first l...
