CCP General Chi Haotian's Incendiary Speech
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Any such weapon would collapse the global population as well. However, here we have such a CCP General touting genocide as a useful strategy which taken with present circumstances we all find terrtibly worrisome. Even worse than the original nuclear scare. Understand something. Over the next century, the Chinese population will shrink to 500,000,000 and Indian population will expand to possibly 2,000,000,000. Africa will climb to 1,000,000,000 and stabalize. The West will stabalize and likely reform its culture to modestly expand to 1,000,000,000 for Europe and the Americ...
"I Shoot a Bunch of 3D Printed Guns - Do My Hands Survive?"
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
So far so good. Forever, a firearm was a precision manufactured item able to tough it out. Ammunition not so much. It follows that printed firearms can be designed around a ammo type and can use obvious fixes to gain the desired result. It is obviously easy to fabricate a morter. A little technical knowledge on metal pipes will go a long way. applying the same rough and ready thinking, it is possible to even imagine a useful rifle barrel that is good enough for a handful of shots before it is taken out and discarded. Recall that we gave up trying to reach out and touch you a...
Craft your own renaissance with tips from Boccaccio’s Decameron
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
The fragility of our urban world is now perhaps 5,000 years old. This contrasts with the apparent sturdiness of the pastoral landscape. I understood a long time ago that modernity is now evolving what will become a properly synthesised network of real natural community that is also self financing. We simply do not want to imagine it at all. Our future will be beautiful and it will be blessed. Now do read the 100 tales of the Decameron and imagine all these folks been happy and blessed. imagine how this could be possible. *Craft your own renaissance with tips from Boccac...

Auberon Waugh: 20 years since he’s gone
George Callaghan, The Duran - 21 hours ago
I well remember the January of 2001 when youth was mine and Al Qa’eda was considered a mere nuisance. A political group I belonged to at Oxford invited the scabrous reactionary writer to talk to us. However, Auberon Waugh failed to appear. His sudden death seemed an acceptable excuse. Waspish, contrarian and mean spirited but […]
Sorry, France: The Dassault Rafale Is No F-35 Stealth Fighter
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Dassault Rafale, Europe* The forthcoming Rafale F4 is slated to replace France’s fourth-generation Mirage 2000. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Dassault Rafale simply can't compete against the F-35. In January 2019, French Defense Minister Florence Parly announced France would commit $2.3 billion to develop an F4 generation of the Dassault Rafale twin-engine multirole fighter. This would include production in 2022–2024 of the last twenty-eight of the original order of 180 Rafales, followed by the purchase of an additional thirty Rafales F4.2s between 20...

How China Could Exploit America’s Warship Shortage
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *U.S. Navy, China, Asia* The Chinese military isn’t highlighting these problems because of sympathy for the U.S. Navy. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The underlying message is that the U.S. is too weak to defeat in a conflict such as a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Beijing wants the world to know that while U.S. military and economic power is declining, China’s is growing with the addition of advanced weapons such as aircraft carriers, stealth fighters and hypersonic missiles. Good news for American critics who warn that the U.S. Navy is overstretched. China ag...
Meet the Saab 36: The Supersonic Nuclear Bomber Sweden Kept Under Wraps
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Nuclear Bomber, * Sweden wanted to protect itself from a Soviet invasion — and decided to manufacture nuclear weapons to ensure its security. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *By the mid-1960s, Sweden had enough fissile material to build a bomb in six months. It just needed a platform to deliver nuclear payload — the Saab 36. After the Second World War, Sweden initiated a clandestine nuclear program — and had plans for a supersonic nuclear bomber. *Atoms for Peace* After World War II, the Soviet specter lay heavily across Europe. Like other post-war countries,...
What Happened When America and Iran Went to War at Sea in 1988?
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *U.S. Navy, Middle East* Events did not turn out well for Tehran. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Half of Iran's Navy was sent to the bottom of the sea. The orders from the Joint Chiefs of Staff were clear: the Iranian frigate *Sabalan *must die. On April 14, 1988, the frigate *USS Samuel B. Roberts *had run into an Iranian mine while attempting to extricate herself from a minefield. The blast tore open a 21-foot long hole in her hull and wounded ten sailors. Only a heroic damage control effort kept the frigate afloat. This was deemed the last straw after ten...

Climate ‘Emergency’? Not So Fast!
Geoff, The Australian Climate Sceptics Blog - 20 hours ago
An opinion piece by RICHARD LINDZEN& WILLIAM HAPPER for Nation Reviews' Capital Matters (link) contains this statement: No scientist familiar with radiation transfer denies that more carbon dioxide is likely to cause some surface warming. But the warming would be small and benign. In fact, history shows that warmings of a few degrees Celsius — which extended growing seasons — have been good for humanity.

There's Nothing Original About Iran's Khorramshahr Missile
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Missiles, Middle East* It's a copy of a copy. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *There have been reports that the Khorramshahr is a derivative of North Korea’s Musudan ballistic missile. The North Korean Musudan is likely more powerful, with roughly double the reported range of the Khorramshahr, and is likely a variant of a similar submarine-launched missile of Soviet origin. The Khorramshahr missile is classic Iran—vintage Soviet technology adapted by another country, and then again upgraded and tweaked by Iran. This makes the Khorramshahr a copy… of a copy. No...
These 5 World War I Weapons Left Europe Shocked and Awed
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *World War I, Europe* Which were the deadliest weapons of World War I? There are so many choices. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Like all such wonder weapons, they were expensive and fragile (the Paris Gun could only fire 20 shells before the barrel wore out). But being able to destroy forts or bombard a city from nearly a hundred miles away earned them their notoriety. Today we take granted that warfare is mechanized, electronicized, a form of human activity where humans are the least important component. But it didn't seem that way in 1914. Europeans sleepwa...
China’s Su-27 Flanker Is a Poor Copy of the Russian Original
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Su-27, * Looks can be majorly deceiving. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Beijing received seventy-six fighters from Moscow in 1992 to replace their aging Soviet-supplied fighters. They were liked so much that China negotiated a deal with Russia which meant up to two-hundred licensed copies of the Su-27 could be manufactured in China using Russian-supplied kits. China’s J-11 looks like an exact copy of Russia’s Su-27. And it almost is—but it’s nowhere near as reliable or capable. *Export Time* The Su-27 was developed by the Soviet Union at the tail end of ...
