War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 4 hours ago
*Zero Hedge*:* Visualizing America's Longest Foreign Wars* President Biden has announced that 2,500 U.S. troops and another 7,000 from NATO will start returning home from Afghanistan in May, with the full withdrawal set to be completed in time for the 20th anniversary of 9/11. In a White House speech, he said: * "I am now the fourth American president to preside over an American troop presence in Afghanistan. Two Republicans. Two Democrats. I will not pass this responsibility on to a fifth."* Statista's Niall McCarthy details that over the course of nearly two decades, America'...
How Russia's MiG-25 Lost Its Job Before It Started Flying
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *MiG-25, * The appearance of the MiG-25 helped drive decisions in the U.S. tactical fighter program, eventually leading to the F-15 Eagle *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The MiG-25s capabilities were, and are, eye-popping. It can make Mach 2.83 in sustained flight, and can go over Mach 3 in bursts if no one cares about the destruction of the engines. In interceptor and air-superiority mode, it carries four R-40 air-to-air missiles, with an outer range limit of fifty miles. It can reach an altitude of over sixty-five thousand feet. *More From The National Inte...
Russia’s TOS-1 Heavy Flamethrowers Should Be Illegal
Robert Beckhusen, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Robert Beckhusen* *Russian Artillery, * A full salvo will devastate an area of 200 x 400 meters, killing by overpressure, burns, and suffocation. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *A $3 billion arms deal with the Saudi regime included “TOS-1A systems” along with S-400 anti-aircraft missiles, AGS-30 grenade launchers, Korney-EM anti-tank missiles and AK-130s, an export version of the AK-47 rifle. This comes as Saudi Arabia, which is heavily dependent on the United States and Western Europe, seeks a wider array of sources for weapons. Lumbering with oversized, boxy turrets, TOS-...
Israel's Loves its Old F-15s And It's Not Letting Them Go
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *F-15, Middle East* Israel operates what is likely the world’s largest fleet F-16s. They also have many F-15s, which serve as compact, long-range bombers. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *In the mid-2000s, Israel ordered fifty F-16Is from Lockheed Martin, bringing their total F-16 fleet up to more than 300, “including 102 new ones ordered since 1999 and 50 earlier model F-16s that were acquired from the U.S. inventory in the mid-1990s,” according to a Lockheed Martin press release. Israel operates what may be the world’s largest fleet F-16s. They also have ma...
The U.S. Economy Will Decide the Midterm Elections
Desmond Lachman, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Desmond Lachman* *U.S. Economy, Americas* Voters will not be guided by the state of their economic well-being in 2021. Rather, they will be guided by how they perceive their economic state at the time they cast their votes. Bill Clinton was fond of saying that when it came to elections it was the economy, stupid. Judging by his unusually large budget stimulus package so early in his Administration, it would seem that Joe Biden does not subscribe to Clinton’s view. While to be sure Biden’s budget stimulus promises to deliver this year the U.S. economy’s best growth performance i...
Deter Russia in Ukraine and Avoid a Sino-Russian Dual Alliance
Jakub Grygiel, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Jakub Grygiel* *Security, Eurasia* But for this effort to succeed, the long-term stability of Europe has to start coming from European sources. Russia’s military buildup in Crimea and on Ukraine’s borders is again raising questions about the immediate intentions of Moscow and of its modern tsar, Vladimir Putin. It may be that the Russian dictator sees in the coronavirus-induced disarray in Europe an opportunity to push his influence westward, or he may seek to distract Russians from their economic problems with another imperial project, or, perhaps, he is merely irritated at th...
Russia Won World War II Thanks to Its Snipers—This Is What They Used
Robert Beckhusen, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Robert Beckhusen* *History, * There were simply more Soviet snipers, with more scoped rifles, than Germany could match early on. *Here's What You Need To Remember: T*he Soviet Union certainly embraced the sniper, perhaps more than any other combatant during World War II, fielding them in larger numbers and on a wider scale earlier in the conflict than Nazi Germany. The Soviet government often exaggerated tales of its front-line snipers for propaganda purposes. The sniper duel between famed Soviet sniper Vasily Zaitsev and “Major Konig” was probably myth, although Zaitsev was u...

The Chinese Global Times says U.S. Navy P-8A and U.S. Army RC-12X signals intelligence aircraft began new surveillance missions imme...
In 1969 a Russia-China Border War Almost Destroyed Asia
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *History, * What if the brief 1969 conflict between China and the Soviet Union had escalated? *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Americans tend to remember the Cuban Missile Crisis as the most dangerous moment in Cold War brinksmanship. Despite some tense moments, Washington and Moscow resolved that crisis with only the death of U.S. Air Force pilot Maj. Rudolph Anderson Jr. Seven years later, in March 1969, a contingent of People’s Liberation Army (PLA) soldiers raided a Soviet border outpost on Zhenbao Island, killing dozens and injuring scores.

*New York* magazine's Ed Kilgore notes that Brian Kemp's polling among Georgia Republicans looks a lot better since he signed the vote suppression law, after a period when he seemed like a dead man walking because he refused to help Donald Trump steal his state's presidential electors: Kemp has eagerly been making the rounds of conservative media outlets to defend the new law, struggling, no doubt, to hide his glee at the liberal criticism it has attracted.
