Why Israel Isn’t Going to Bomb Iran
Zachary Keck, The National Interest - 8 hours ago
*Zachary Keck* *Israel Iran, Middle East* Although the interim deal does further reduce Israel’s propensity to attack, the truth is that the likelihood of an Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities has always been greatly exaggerated. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Tel Aviv would also benefit indirectly from a U.S.-Iran nuclear deal and possible rapprochement. That’s because either of these agreements would spark panic in Sunni Arab capitals. For the foreseeable future, then, Israel would enjoy some breathing room, which would obtain as these governments would be preoccu...
What the Closing of the Suez Canal Says About U.S. Maritime Security
Brent Sadler, The National Interest - 8 hours ago
*Brent Sadler* *Suez Canal, Middle East* The Ever Given episode proves that ever-larger container ships transiting strategic chokepoints pose a challenge for modern tugs and salvage ships to quickly clear. The Ever Given wasn’t the first ship to block the Suez Canal. A multi-ship pile-up in 2018 snarled maritime traffic there for two days. But the sheer size and bulk of the Ever Given was a much greater challenge—one that took 11 days to solve. As container ships grow ever more massive, it becomes increasingly difficult to clear accidents quickly in strategic waterways. This s...

*Shada Islam, Michael D.

Was Russia’s Secret ‘Burlak’ Tank Just Outted On Social Media?

It wasn't likely an "April Fool's" joke when earlier this month images reportedly circulated on social media that seemed to show Russia's top-secret Burlak tank.

A History Of The Espionage Act And How it Ensnared Julian Assange
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 9 hours ago
From its earliest years the United States has found ways to deny the rights of a free press when it was politically expedient to do so. One of the latest ways was to arrest WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange two years ago today and to indict him — the first time a publisher and journalist has ever been charged under the 1917 Espionage Act for possessing and publishing state secrets. Though several U.S. administrations had come close to punishing journalists for revealing defense information, they all pulled back, until Assange. They were restrained because of a conflict with the F...

The real reason why RAW milk is illegal
Nick Meyer, AltHealthWorks.com - 12 hours ago
Have you ever wondered why RAW milk is illegal? While the main argument by the FDA is that it has a higher chance of having Salmonella, E. coli, or Listeria bacteria, the same can be said for many types of sushi and unpasteurized cider, believe it or not. Yet those are legal (with exception of New York’s Cider Pasteurization Law and other isolated local laws). Why can’t raw milk, the type of milk that has sustained millions of people for generations, just come with a warning label? Are we not trusted enough to make our own decisions about our health?
