War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 49 minutes ago
*VOA:* *Iranian Proxy Attacks on Americans ‘Not Helping Climate in US’ for Reviving Iran Talks, US Envoy Says * WASHINGTON - U.S. Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley has indicated that recent attacks by Iranian proxies on U.S. forces in Iraq are making it tougher for the Biden administration to build domestic support for its new diplomatic initiative to resolve U.S.-Iran tensions.

*Michael Peck* *Winston Churchill Russia, Europe* In the spring of 1945, Winston Churchill asked his military chiefs to prepare a secret plan *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The rock-bottom fact of a war that would have dragged the world into World War III is this: Operation Unthinkable called for the democratic nations of the United Kingdom and the United States to initiate a war with the Soviet Union. The justification would have been the need to roll back the Soviet empire from its German and Eastern European conquests. In the spring of 1945, Winston Churchill asked his m...
The Naive Apoliticism of the Individualists
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 1 hour ago
Individualism leads to apoliticism. The individualists overestimate their intellectual and moral capabilities, and become convinced that they are too “intelligent” and “saintly” to even think of politics and politicians. In their narcissistic and utopian mind, all political factions appear equally “collectivist” (which is their favorite term for evil) and must be rejected. They fail to recognize the reality that even if you live in a democracy (or a republic), there will be the rulers and the ruled, and if you don’t want totalitarians as the rulers, then you must take a political st...

Craziest Idea Ever: Drop a Nuclear Bomb on a Hurricane

*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, * America has the most powerful weapon on Earth at its disposal. Why not use it on Mother Nature? Why not nuke a hurricane? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Despite Reed’s calculations, Landsea argued that most tropical storms are just stronger than nukes. And he’s not even taking into account the aftermath of such an experiment. The fallout from a nuclear hurricane could be horrendous. There are few natural forces that kill so many and cost so much as the hurricane. Hurricane Katrina killed more than 1,500 people and Hurricane Sandy flooded low...
A RAND Wargame shows that Russia’s Military Is No Pushover
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, Europe* Until the 1970s, America was certain it would lose in a war against Russia. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The RAND wargame suggests that Russia could take the Baltics, and perhaps hold them, for a while. Moscow would begin to pay costs very early in any conflict, however, as NATO forces moved against Kaliningrad, Transnistria and other Russian holdings. The Russian Navy would likely come under severe attack from NATO submarines and aircraft. A recent RAND wargame on a potential Russian offensive into the Baltics brought talk of a “new Col...

In the event of World War II, the Soviet Union planned to go after the U.S. Navy’s fleet of aircraft carriers in a big way. The carriers were a flexible and powerful weapon that could operate at the peripheries of Soviet power, doing everything from supporting land...
Rapid Eagle: How the United States Wins an Air War Over China?
David Axe, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*David Axe* *Air Power, * A shortage of F-22 stealth fighters has helped to drive the new approach to aerial warfare. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Gen. Charles Brown, commander of Pacific Air Forces, said he wants smaller groups of U.S. warplanes to rapidly move between bases in order to frustrate an adversary, and to do so while the enemy -- that is, China -- is jamming American communications. The U.S. Air Force is rewriting its war plan for the Pacific, the flying branch's new commander for the region told reporters at the Pentagon in late November of 2018. Gen. Charl...
Just Terrible: Why the Soviets Hated Their T-35 “Land Battleship”

*Sebastien Roblin* *World War II History, Europe* [image: By Alf van Beem - Own work, CC0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=28503100] This tank was not only ineffective, but also a death trap. *Key point: *The T-35 was overly complicated and its crew were at risk from the thinner armor. Here is how the T-35 fairly poorly on the battlefield. Recently, a Russian military museum in Sverdlovsk unveiled a moving replica T-35 tank, recreating one of the largest tanks ever to see combat, though only *very* briefly.

Tory Rich, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Tory Rich* *Fighter Jets, * This 1994 movie is riddled with innacuracies. Here's what the Harrier Jet is really capable of.
