Preparing for War: Taiwan’s New Fighters Could Make Beijing Think Twice
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Taiwan, Asia* Defending against a Chinese invasion would be no easy task, though modern F-16Vs may be able to tip the scales—ever so slightly—more in Taiwan’s favor by making it more complicated and costly for Beijing. Although some American officials believe that the chances of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan are increasing, the small island nation wouldn’t go down without a fight. Taiwan’s newly upgraded F-16V fighter jets will soon be fit for duty, according to a recent Taiwanese report. The F-16V, manufactured by Lockheed Martin, is the most capable F-16 variant...

Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Cold War History, World* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2003%3Anewsml_RP3DRILZYLAA&share=true] This fighter was very useful, but its excessively powerful gatling cannon would damage the plane and even blow off parts of its landing gear. *Key point: *The Soviet Union made many good, but also not perfect, weapons which it sold around the world. Here is how India used the MiG-29. On December 27, 2019, the Indian Air Force bade farewell to the last of the beefy MiG-27 attack jets it had dubbed the *Bahadur* (“Valiant”) in a cere...

Picture Says it All: How World War II Forever Transformed America’s Military
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, * After 1945, there was no going back for the United States. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *On 8 September 1939, President Roosevelt declared a limited national emergency, raising the strength of the Regular Army to 227,000. Then, with the growing war in Europe, the US Government approved the Selective Service Act in September 1940. This authorized the Army’s strength to be increased to 1.4 million men—500,000 Regulars, 270,000 Guardsmen, and 630,000 Selectees. During World War II about 16,000,000 personnel served in the U.S. Military: ap...
The Army Wants a Rifle That Has 100% Accuracy
Jared Keller, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Jared Keller* *Security, * A rifle that always hits would make fighting a war too easy. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The soldier of the future, in Scales’ mind, is a one-man sniper regardless of training. Based on Ward’s comments, ARDEC is working hard to make that dream of “one shot, one kill” for all soldiers a reality as soon as possible. In modern military history, “one shot, one kill” was once a creed only for the highly-trained sniper, the hidden assassin who sows fear among enemy ranks from afar. Not anymore: The Army wants to build a rifle scope and optics system...
Why Kim Jong-un Fears the South’s Monstrous K-9 Thunder Artillery Guns
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* South Korea designed the K9 to operate on the rugged mountains of the demilitarized zone with North Korea, and accordingly gave it advanced hydropneumatics suspension to overcome the rocky terrain. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The U.S. military has placed decreasing importance on artillery until recently, as armored howitzer systems are heavy and difficult to deploy and resupply across the globe into an active theater. But for countries facing potential adversaries on their borders, artillery can respond much more rapidly, sustainably an...

Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Americas* It will be able to conduct low-intensity missions overseas in partnership with foreign navies as well as ocean patrol like the LCS ships have done. *Here's What You Need to Know:* The U.S. Navy desires smaller frigates that can keep up with surface groups in order to conduct anti-submarine warfare and counter surface ships, in addition defending against boat swarms and conducting convoy defense Secretary of the Navy Kenneth Braithwaite has announced the name of the United States’ newest Guided Missile Frigates during a ceremony on the Constell...
Yes, War With China Could Go Nuclear and End Life on Earth
Lyle J. Goldstein, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Lyle J. Goldstein* *Nuclear Deterrence, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2015%3Anewsml_GF10000191342&share=true] Although the world escaped a nuclear doomsday during the Cold War, history is full of accidents and close-calls that could repeat themselves today. *Key point: *All of the major powers appear to be upgrading or expanding their nuclear arsenals. The problem is that humans are flawed, mistakes happen, and a crisis could spiral out of control. When one reads enough Chinese naval literature, diagrams of multi-axial cruise missile sa...

Biden Vies For An Emmy
PA Pundits - International, PA Pundits – International - 23 hours ago
By Burt Prelutsky ~ Someone should have caught Biden’s “We’ve never had a problem like this in a long time” before it went out live. The best thing about Biden’s half-hour address is that it was short. The worst thing was Biden’s performance. I’m sure that after seeing how easy it was for Andrew Cuomo […]

AdminM, Medical Kidnap - 1 day ago
Thousands, and possibly tens-of-thousands of protesters across Europe marched on Saturday against continued government lockdowns and other pandemic restrictions based on questionable science - which have resulted in mass unemployment, destroyed small businesses, stoked widespread depression and mental illness, and cost taxpayers trillions to keep the whole ship from sinking. Protesters in London, Germany, France, Sweden, The Netherlands, Australia, Belgium, Japan, Vienna and elsewhere came out for the Worldwide Rally for Freedom.
Is The Left On The Cusp Of Permanent Triumph, Or Is It Committing Suicide?
Francis Menton, Manhattan Contrarian - 1 day ago
* If you think that cancel culture and social media deplatforming have gotten out of hand, you should know that those are only two examples of many strategies that the fascist left deploys to enforce its political orthodoxy. * Another such strategy, currently sweeping the country, takes coercive suppression of dissent to a whole new level. The model here comes straight out of the old Soviet Union’s playbook: use control over institutions to demand a continuous series of expressions of loyalty to the orthodoxy, and then to destroy the livelihood and career of anyone who refuses to co...
