How Israel Became the Middle East’s Only Military Superpower
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, Middle East* It’s surrounded by enemies. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Israel remains in a strategically perilous position. The inability of Israel to develop long-term, stable, positive relationships with its immediate neighbors, regional powers, and the subject populations of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip means that Jerusalem continues to feel insecure, its dominance on land, air, and sea notwithstanding. Since 1948, the state of Israel has fielded a frighteningly effective military machine. Built on a foundation of pre-independence militias...
Russia's 200 Knot Torpedo: The U.S. Navy Can't Match It (Sorry)
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Cold War Weaponry, * But no weapon comes without drawbacks. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* In 2004, German defense contractor Diehl-BGT announced the *Barracuda*, a technology demonstrator torpedo meant to travel up to 194 knots. Barracuda was meant to be launched from submarines and surface vessels, and test models could travel straight and curved paths. However, the program apparently never translated into a marketable weapon. Imagine the sudden revelation of a weapon that can suddenly go six times faster than its predecessors. The shock of such a breakth...
Why a $15 Minimum Wage Won’t Do Anything to Beat Poverty
Andy Puzder, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Andy Puzder* *Minimum Wage, Americas* This is an important issue for the progressive Left. Though the Senate parliamentarian rejected their efforts to include a $15-an-hour minimum wage in President Joe Biden’s so-called COVID-19 relief bill, Senate Democrats are scrambling for a way to include it. Their efforts demonstrate the importance of this issue for the progressive left. But should they succeed, would such a measure truly help struggling Americans as promised? And what exactly is that promise? Echoing his socialist ally Sen. Bernie Sanders, Biden recently argued that “[n...

"The Global Financial End-Game"
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 16 hours ago
*"The Global Financial End-Game"* by Charles Hugh Smith "For those seeking a summary, here is the global financial endgame in fourteen points: *1. *In the initial "boost phase" of credit expansion, credit-based capital ( i.e. debt-money) pours into expanding production and increasing productivity: new production facilities are built, new machine and software tools are purchased, etc. These investments greatly boost production of goods and services and are thus initially highly profitable. *2*. As credit continues to expand, competitors can easily borrow the capital needed to push...

barovsky, The New Dark Age - 17 hours ago
It is not that the earth is ours and that it belongs to us. It is that we all belong to the earth. From it we live, with its fruits we feed ourselves, from its lakes and rivers comes the water we need, with its wood and stones we build our houses, even the most modern ones, because the metal of their frames also comes from the earth. We are buried in the earth when we die.

Šiauliai Air Base is one of the major airfields in the Baltics used by NATO. In 1931, an airfield was built specifically for Lithuanian Air Force.

Even in the age of drones and precision warfare *there are still occasional calls to bring the heavily manned*, imprecise Iowa class back to service. There’s a certain romance to battleships, and having four Iowas sitting around in good condition has beguiled naval enthusiasts and planners for more than 60 years with schemes to bring them back.

International Women’s Day, 2021 - Recognizing Rural Women as Central to Cost-COVID Recovery: An Imperative for International Women’s Day
ROME, Mar 06 (IPS) - In times of crisis, policymakers have a tendency to prioritize economic recovery while leaving “social issues” like women’s empowerment on the backburner. During the COVID-19 pandemic, however, women’s leadership is as essential to full and meaningful recovery as it is to basic human rights. As the world mobilizes to design and build a post-COVID landscape, women’s rights, interests and priorities must not only be included in international recovery agendas but pushed to the forefront. To achieve this, women themselves must not simply be included in the discuss...

Warnings by leading climate scientists regarding the high sensitivity of the atmosphere in response to abrupt compositional changes, such as near-doubling of greenhouse gas concentrations, are now manifest: According to Wallace Broecker, (the “father” of climate science) “The paleoclimate record shouts out to us that, far from being self-stabilizing, the Earth’s climate system is an ornery beast which overreacts to even small nudges, and humans have already given the climate a substantial nudge”.

China Is Using Sea Mines to Create an Underwater A2/AD Deathzone
Lyle J. Goldstein, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Lyle J. Goldstein* *Security, Asia* Can America pierce through it? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *What is most troubling about the RAND study is that it does not seriously grapple with the problem of sea mines and their likely employment against U.S. submarines. Ten of fifty-two U.S. submarines lost in the Pacific War were likely destroyed by sea mines.

Should America Have Taken Out Saddam Hussein Before 2003?

*Robert Farley* *Security, Middle East* The effort to kill Hussein was only one episode in the U.S. pursuit of “decapitation” as a politico-military strategy. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *As with any counterfactual, it’s difficult to grapple with the full implications of the death of Saddam Hussein during the 1991 Gulf War.

Saturday snippet: What if Texas had stayed independent?
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 20 hours ago
I don't usually enjoy time-warp novels, where a protagonist from one era is somehow transported back (or forward) in time to another age, and has to figure out how to make it there, what he/she has to do, and so on. There are a few very good books in that genre, and many also-rans. One of the better efforts, IMHO, is a six-novel series, "The Lone Star Reloaded", by Drew McGunn. He posits a series of fascinating "what-if" scenarios. - What if a modern US soldier, familiar with US and Texas history, were to be transported back in time into the body of Colonel William Bar...
