Heroic sailor rescues cats from a burning ship
White Wolf, White Wolf - 11 hours ago
Thai navy sailors braved choppy waters to launch a dramatic rescue this week after discovering four cats had been abandoned on a sinking ship that caught fire off a paradise island. After the crew had been taken to safety on Tuesday, the navy was sent to the site of the capsized vessel to check for an oil spill, but discovered a few crew members had been forgotten. "I used my camera to zoom in to the boat, and I saw one or two cats popping their heads out," said First-Class Petty Officer Wichit Pukdeelon of the navy's air and coastal defence division.

Rooftop Solar Forms An Alternative To Monopoly Utility Models
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
Since rooftop solar became possible, electric utilities have struggled to incorporate it into their outdated business model. In recent years, this lag in utility recognition has become increasingly problematic, risking the health, environmental, and financial impacts of over-investment in large fossil fuel power plants. In over 30 states, monopoly utilities submit plans for new power plants to public regulators without adequately considering how customers will serve themselves. However, a new modeling approach from Vote Solar and the Institute for Local Self-Reliance (ILSR) might ...
This Obscure Energy Treaty Is The Greatest Threat To The Planet
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
On 4 February the German energy giant RWE announced it was suing the government of the Netherlands. The crime? Proposing to phase out coal from the country’s electricity mix. The company, which is Europe’s biggest emitter of carbon, is demanding €1.4bn in ‘compensation’ from the country for loss of potential earnings, because the Dutch government has banned the burning of coal for electricity from 2030. If this sounds unreasonable, then you might be surprised to learn that this kind of legal action is perfectly normal – and likely to become far more commonplace in the coming years...

US Border Imperialism Is A Bipartisan Affair
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
The images of kids in cages will be one the more enduring legacies of the Trump administration. However, it is also the case that Democrat and Republican administrations both contributed to the militarization of the border and amped up deportation mechanisms of the state for the last several decades. While, for example, former President Obama is widely known as the “deporter in chief” for deporting 3 million undocumented persons, there is a false sense among many that former President Trump and his administration is solely responsible for migration injustices. Part of this has to ...

The Wrong Mountain of Utilitarians and Libertarians

Rejecting the claims of the British utilitarians, Nietzsche said, “Man does not seek happiness; only the Englishman does that.” This is a good point which can be stretched to include the two concepts which obsess the libertarians: liberty and rights. Man does not seek liberty and rights; only the libertarian does that. Not happiness, not liberty, and not rights but being part of a nation with stable, historical, and decent culture, in which they might hope to flourish, according to the traditional norms of human flourishing, is fundamental to man. When the utilitarians talk about ...

Small Boats, Nuclear Bombs: Don’t Underestimate Israel’s Dolphin Subs
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 12 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * They’ve been sailing for years. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Having three submarines in operation generally means at least one is at sea at any particular time, a necessity for a sea-based nuclear deterrent. The Dolphin class reportedly carries up to sixteen torpedoes and missiles; if the submarines’ primary task is nuclear deterrence, half of its weapons space might be allocated for carrying nukes. Israel’s submarine corps is a tiny force with a big open secret: in all likelihood, it is armed with nuclear weapons. The five Dolphin-class subm...

To do so, he underscores the need to ful...
The Master Plan That Ensures No Nation Can Beat America's Military
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 12 hours ago

When it comes to lethal weapons, the U.S. Army has no shortage. Some may be too expensive, some too complex, and others may be desired by politicians and defense contractors, but not the troops on the field.

Why Biden’s Russia Sanctions Won't Change Anything

*Mark Episkopos* *Russia, Europe* Despite their relative toothlessness, Moscow is indeed treating these sanctions as an escalatory measure. President Joe Biden has leveled a new round of sanctions against Russia over the poisoning and subsequent arrest of prominent Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny.

Why the Old F-14 Tomcat Is a Legend (Not Just Because of Top Gun)

*Peter Suciu* *F-14, Middle East* Recent conflicts in the Middle East show that even after nearly 50 years the Tomcat still has sharp claws. During its three decades in service with the United States Navy the Grumman F-14 Tomcat more than lived up to the role, it was designed for, drawing blood in combat and even getting its moment in the spotlight in the film *Top Gun*.

Forget the J-20, China Wants a "Super F-35" Fighter
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 12 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *F-35 J-20, Asia* China is prioritizing information gathering over maneuverability in its next major stealth aircraft. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *China likely sees the potential of a highly networked, yet far less agile or speedy aircraft. There are plenty of planes that can dogfight and plenty that are super fast. But none of that matters if a stealth aircraft can get in, hits its target and be gone before the enemy knew what hit it.

But calling it the wrong thing does not help. Over the years it’s become commonplace for writers to sex up their descriptions of guided-missile destroyer (DDG) *Zumwalt*, the U.S. Navy’s newest surface combatant.

India: The Nuclear Weapons Superpower Everyone Forgets About
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 12 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *India Nuclear Weapons, * Indian nuclear modernization is moving steadily. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *What remains to be seen is what will be the command and control system to make sure these missiles are fired when—and only when—they should be. And, of course, since Pakistan and China also have nuclear weapons, Indian leaders may find that more nukes only lead to an arms race that paradoxically leaves their nation less secure. “India is estimated to have produced enough military plutonium for 150 to 200 nuclear warheads, but has likely produced only 130 t...

The Secret Behind Thailand’s Anti-112 Protests
Land Destroyer, Alt Thai News Network ATNN - 14 hours ago
*March 6, 2021* (Brian Berletic - LD) - Thai protesters and their Western backers claim their opposition to Thailand’s Article 112 - an anti-defamation law that protects the Thai head of state - is based on “free speech” and “human rights” concerns. In reality this opposition to article 112 is rooted in the West’s desire to remove Thailand’s source of unity and sovereignty as part of a wider regime change agenda against Thailand, and a region-wide reordering aimed at isolating China. *References: * Isaan Record - About Us: https://theisaanrecord.co/about/ Isaan Record - David...

It is the latest indicator of how strained the underlying credibility is of US foreign policy regarding the South China Sea and its growing conflict with Beijing. While Washington frames its involvement in the region as "championing" for claimants in the South China Sea, it is recruiting allies further and further flung from its actual waters and appears to merely be using the confrontation to undermine Beijing, not su...

Land Destroyer, Land Destroyer - 14 hours ago
*March 6, 2021* (Brian Berletic - NEO) - Despite the partisan political theater taking place in Washington - in terms of foreign policy - virtually nothing has changed with a new US president taking office. Even the rhetoric of the new administration is hardly discernible from that of its predecessor. From US tensions with China and Iran to continued pressure on Russia - the US continues to pursue a singularly belligerent foreign policy as part of a continued effort to maintain a US-led "international order" and to reassert US hegemony everywhere on Earth it is challenged.

Far from simply being because Reuters is “Western media,” it is now confirmed that Reuters has recently worked with Western governments to carry out intelligence operations to interfere in the political affairs of nations abroad under the guise of “journalism.” *Brian Berletic, formally known under the pen name "Tony Cartalucci" is a geopolitical researcher, writer, and video producer (YouTube here and BitChute here) based in Bangkok, Thailand.

Sixth-Generation Stealth Fighters Owes Its Life to This 1940s Jet
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *XF-90, Americas* The XF-90 is one tough jet. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *While the XF-90 was not a successful design, it gave U.S. engineers their first experience developing a clean-sheet jet with afterburning engines, ejections seats and Fowler flaps. For every famous jet fighter like the F-86 Sabre or F-16 Falcon, there is often a connective sinew of prototypes pushing the technological envelope that never make it into service, whether due to teething issues or external factors.
