War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 21 hours ago
*VICE:** Military Unit That Conducts Drone Strikes Bought Location Data From Ordinary Apps * The 132d Wing of the Iowa National Guard bought Locate X, a product that lets users search by a specific area to see which devices were present.

Let the Haters Hate: Navy Aircraft Carriers Aren't Done Just Yet
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Aircraft Carriers, * Don't underestimate them. The right weapon at the right place can be very dangerous. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *While the U.S. Navy has already pledged to send a hospital ship to each coast to deal with the coronavirus outbreak, carriers could also be called up. Earlier this month the acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Modly told reporters that he was uncertain if the U.S. Navy would be building any additional *Ford*-class aircraft carriers. The *USS Gerald R. Ford* is undergoing post-delivery tests and trials, while the *USS John F....
Design Doom: How This Imperial Japanese Aircraft Carrier Sunk So Easily
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *World War II History, Asia* The carrier was originally a battleship and it was badly built and poorly converted. *Key point: *The huge carrier surprised the Americans but the submarine that found the ship sunk it quickly. How much of that was terrible quality vs bad luck? If weight alone could determine victory, then the Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carrier *Shinano* might still be afloat. At 69,000 tons when launched in 1944, the *Shinano* would have remained the world's largest aircraft until the 1960s. But that was not to be. Instead the *Shinano* earned a...
Jutland: Why the Biggest Naval Battle Ever Was a Historic Dud
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, Europe* Germany’s biggest advantage might have sprung from the confidence that it could, in fact, win battles at sea against the Royal Navy. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The German high command reacted to Jutland by refocusing its efforts on submarine warfare, an attempt to strangle Britain out of the war. A major victory might possibly have delayed this decision, pushing back U.S. entry into the war. A century ago, the two greatest fleets of the industrial age fought an inconclusive battle in the North Sea. The British Grand Fleet and the Germa...
Could Hitler Have Conquered Europe Without Fighting America?
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Hitler, Americas* Was the decision to declare war on the United States among Hitler’s greatest blunders? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Both Hitler and Roosevelt believed that war was inevitable, and they were both probably right. Restraining the war machine in December of 1941 might have bought some additional time for Germany in the Med and (possibly) in the skies, but would have forced the Kriegsmarine to forego an offensive that it believed could win the war. What if Germany had never declared war on the United States during World War II? Scholars an...

Global Apartheid: With Sabbatean-Ruled Israel Leading The Way – David Icke Dot-Connector Videocast
mosesman, Socio-Economics History Blog - 23 hours ago
abbateans – Wikipedia The Sabbateans (or Sabbatians) were a variety of Jewish followers, disciples, and believers in Sabbatai Zevi (1626–1676),[1][2][3] a Sephardic Jewish rabbi and Kabbalist who was proclaimed to be the Jewish Messiah in 1666 by Nathan of Gaza.[1][2] Vast numbers of Jews in the Jewish diaspora accepted his claims, even after he outwardly became an apostate due to his forced conversion to Islam in the same year.[1][2][3] Sabbatai Zevi’s followers, both during his “Messiahship” and after …

CNN Misreported China’s Protection Of Intellectual Property Rights
Andrew KORYBKO, OrientalReview.org - 23 hours ago
Unlike how CNN dishonestly misportrayed it, China’s shutting down of a major website that violates intellectual property rights is something that the whole world should applaud. The front page of CNN International ran a story on Wednesday dishonestly titled “A content crackdown” with the subheading reading “China has shuttered its […]

Will China Ever Overcome Japan’s Imperial Past?
Lyle J. Goldstein, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Lyle J. Goldstein* *Military History, * The First Sino-Japanese War still haunts modern China. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *As any sports coach knows, a team that has been humiliated, relentlessly studies its former mistakes, enjoys new access to resources, is hungry for respect, has a laser-like focus, and is fired by no small amount of bitterness as well, is one that may be poised to “roll.” One interpretation of these Chinese military articles is that the PLA is now in such a state of mind – and this should concern practitioners and students of international security ...

Some of Russia’s Deadliest 5 Cold War Weapons are Still Ready for War
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, Eurasia* Exceptionally maneuverable and very heavily armed, the Su-35 has the potential to tangle with the best Western aircraft. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *All of these platforms entered service in the Cold War. Some, like the Tu-95, appeared quite early in the Cold War. This does not differentiate the Russian Air Force all that much from the various Western air forces, but it is surely problematic that Russia does not have an equivalent of the Rafale, the Eurofighter Typhoon, or the F-22 Raptor. In 1990, the air forces of the Soviet Union co...
The Real Lesson of the Falklands War
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *History, Europe* The Falklands remains the world’s most recent, most modern example of combined naval-air combat. *Here’s What You Need to Remember:* The Falklands War ended with a decisive British victory over thirty years ago. Nevertheless, the war remains alive in the imagination of analysts and historians. Although the conflict happened outside of the normal “zones of crisis,” it has long held the attention of students of warfare. The war, which involved a conflict over territory between two established nation-states with large, capital-intensive military...
Stunned: The Marines Want Taser Bullets
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *U.S. Marines, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC2H8E9PTY0G&share=true] Could the military find a way to set their rifles to “stun”? *Key point: *This is not a new idea, but it is one the Marines are looking into again. It appears they are not happy with the current X-36 Tasers. A bullet that zaps you with an electric jolt like a Taser. That’s what the U.S. Marine Corps wants as a non-lethal munition that can be fired from a regular small arm. The U.S. military has been trying to develop a Taser-like bullet...
Meet the Avro Arrow: Canada's Super Bomber That Flopped
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, Americas* But the Arrow was not to be. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* But the legend of the Arrow did not die with its cancellation. Because of the circumstances associated with the end of the plane, including the scrapping of all extant prototypes and all industrial tooling associated with the program, a series of conspiracies emerged regarding the causes of its demise. In the early 1950s, the Canadian government began to solicit orders for a new high-speed interceptor. The explosion in jet technology had rendered Canada’s first- and second-gener...
How China Starts World War III Against America: Attack the Bases
James Holmes, The National Interest - 23 hours ago

Would those bases be a boon or a lost cause in the event of war? Last week the University of Sydney’s United States Studies Center (USSC) set policy circles aflutter when it issued a novella-length report that questions the stay...
How China Would Wage a Nuclear War Against America (World War III)
Lyle J. Goldstein, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Lyle J. Goldstein* *Nuclear War, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_RC1A7F3B2DD0&share=true] Beijing is working on building a large and more complex, modern nuclear arsenal. *Key Point:* China has long had a sufficent, if modest, set of nuclear weapons. How Beijing appears to be reaching for greater parity with America's own weapons. When one reads enough Chinese naval literature, diagrams of multi-axial cruise missile saturation attacks against aircraft carrier groups may begin to seem normal. However, one particular graphic f...
