Current Sea Ice
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
So far it appears that the three decade decline trend remains itact. What none of this measures is the massive gross loss of total ice mass. That has been huge and no evidence yet of any recovery. Again we have seen this happen back in the Medieval period. On that basis, we still have a way to go. That cycle happened 1400 to 1440 which works out to be 570 years cago. I do not think that the 570 is important but let us note it. We remain at the bottom end of the envelop though and the ice loss remains huge while Antarctica keeps adding ice. *Current Sea Ice Extent and condi...
The Real 'Resident Aliens' - Part I
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
I put this out because it reports the reptilian MEME as early as 1953. It was also part of a popular UFO publication as well. It has been difficult to flush out referencesvthat predate an important article in Sci.Am. in the mid sixties about the possibility of an earth evolved reptillian from the age of dinosaurs. This does it quite nicely as it certainly explains the likely genesis of that article. The prospect of a reptillian population on Earth remains excellent. They would reside in deep refugia underground which is something we may well do ourselves in time. . *The Real ...
MRNA Vaccine Extinction level event?
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This now explains just how badly we could plausibly be compromised. This also may have been the entire plan all along and it has still been countered. How much though? What is finally disturbing is that MRNA carriers are naturally contagious and that the entire population stands to be infected. Have all been conned? we are certainly getting far too many reports regarding women's periods going awry and that unvaccinated contactees are also expereincing this effect. what is frustating is that we have to have faith that this is been countered. Yet somewhere there is going to ...
How India’s Plans for a Russian Stealth Fighter Ended Up Grounded
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *India, Russia, Asia* The Indian Air Force was not satisfied with the Su-57’s performance. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *India’s next steps following the dissolution of the stealth-fighter agreement with Russia will be of interest—for its military significance, but also as a gauge of how comfortable New Delhi is with further deepening its relationship with the United States. In April 2018, India’s Defense Secretary Sanjay Mitra met with a Russian delegation to announce that India was withdrawing from its joint development of the FGFA stealth fighter. Thi...

Could Germany Have Won World War I If It Prevailed At the Battle of Jutland?
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *History, Europe* We can imagine a different outcome if we alter some of the events at the opening of the battle. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* Imperial Germany built the ships of the High Seas Fleet for one purpose: to destroy the battlefleet of the Royal Navy. For this purpose, they were good ships, but they offered little for other tasks. 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 German High Seas Fleet fielded a total of fifty-eight dreadnought battleships...
In 1986, a Pakistani F-16 Almost Killed a Russian Vice President
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Pakistan, Asia* That year, Soviet and Afghan forces began a series of offensive targeting mujahideen bases in the Panshir valley, supported with intensified bombardments of refugee camps. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *On November 3, 1988 the PAF would bag its final jet kill when Lt.

The Russian SKS Rifle is An Unsung Staple of the Cold War
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Firearms, * History hasn't awarded this rifle nearly as large a place as it deserves. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Taken all together, the SKS was a great improvement over its predecessors, most especially the aged Mosin-Nagant bolt-action rifle. The SKS was lighter, had double the magazine capacity, and was semi-automatic. Unfortunately for the rifle, the AK-47 was just too good to pass up. Still, the SKS makes for an interesting piece of World War Two and Cold War history. The SKS was the first rifle to replace the Soviet Union’s bolt-action Mosin-Nagan...
Love It or Hate It, Pakistan Is Stuck with the F-16 Fighting Falcon
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Pakistan, F-16, South Asia* in 1981, Pakistan convinced the United States to sell it F-16 Fighting Falcon single-engine multi-role fighters—a then cutting-edge yet inexpensive-to-operate design. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *In any case, the recent aerial skirmish highlights the important capabilities F-16s continue to provide Pakistan’s military, and the continuing tensions that may evoke as Pakistan aligns itself more with China, and the United States with India.

Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *military, Americas* Stealth technology is more effective at a distance. Although there are a number of methods to detect stealth fighters at long range, they generally don’t permit weapons to lock on to them.

America Once Hoped the XF-85 Goblin Fighter Could Escort Nuclear Bombers

In fact, it did not even have proper landing gear and would have to hopefully rejoin its bomber in order to maybe make it back home. Its manufacturer called it the “Goblin”—and by looks alone, the egg-shaped jet certainly deserved the name. The McDonnell XF-85 je...

“Each new generation born is in effect an invasion of civilization by little barbarians, who must be civilized before it is too late.” ~ writes Thomas Sowell in his 1987 book *A Conflict of Visions*. But it is already too late. The little barbarians came of age years ago and they are clueless about how hard it is to create and sustain a civilization. They have cornered key positions in the government, multinational companies, media, and the institutions of arts and entertainment, and they have developed an exaggerated sense of self-importance and grandeur. They have spawned a progen...
