5 Decisions Would Have Turned the Tides of World War II - In Japan's Favor
James Holmes, The National Interest - 59 minutes ago
*James Holmes* *World War II, Asia Pacific* American victory in the Pacific was far from assured. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Bottom line, no likely masterstroke -- no single stratagem or killing blow -- would have defeated the United States. Rather, Japanese commanders should have thought and acted less tactically and more strategically. In so doing they would have improved Japan's chances. Let's face it. Imperial Japan stood next to no chance of winning a fight to the finish against the United States. Resolve and resources explain why. So long as Americans kept their ...
Did the U.S. Learn From Pearl Harbor? Because China Certainly Did.

But he was also wrong: by executing his plan to strike Pearl Harbor, the Imperial Japanese Navy guaranteed there would be no quick win. So, again: if the outcome was predictable, why did they do it? What should they have done? As we afford our hallowed forebears the remembrance they deserve, let’s also try to learn from what transpired here seventy-five years ago, and see what it tells us about A...
Why China Can’t Match Russia’s Infantry Fighting Vehicle
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 59 minutes ago
*Charlie Gao* *Infantry Fighting Vehicles, Asia* China arrived late into the airborne fighting vehicle scene. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *While the ZBD-03 is far from useless, it is outclassed and outgunned by practically every BMD in Russian service. Its ancient ATGM is a major hindrance to its capability to fight modern armor, and its 30mm cannon appears to be subpar compared to foreign counterparts. As China modernizes and develops its airborne corps, it appears to be basing it off the Russian or Soviet model. Chinese airborne troops are not part of the ground forces,...
Taiwan Stands Little Chance Against These 5 Chinese Weapons
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 59 minutes ago
*Robert Farley* *China, Asia* China has developed the means to neutralize many, if not most, of Taiwan’s defensive advantages. *Here's What You Need to Know*: China’s military advantage over the RoC continues to grow. Over the past decade, virtually every aspect of China’s military arsenal has grown more lethal. This improvement has necessarily affected the military balance with Taiwan. With tensions between China and the United States growing, Taiwan’s position has become even more precarious. President Xi Jinping has recently signaled a more hardline attitude on reunification...

Ethen Kim Lieser, The National Interest - 59 minutes ago
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Stimulus Check, Americas* [image: U.S. Economy] A group of Democrat officials want to keep the money flowing and think that doing so would boost the economy. *Key point: *$2000 recurring checks sounds like a great idea--until you think about the national debt. Would such an dramatic expansion of the stimulus really make sense? If twenty-one Senate Democrats have their way, stimulus checks could be directly deposited in millions of Americans’ bank accounts on a recurring basis.

The CIA’s Chinese Walls
barovsky, The New Dark Age - 4 hours ago
It is not in dispute that the CIA is in possession of Julian Assange’s legal and medical files seized from the Ecuadorean Embassy, including correspondence and drafting by his lawyers on his defence against extradition to the USA on Espionage charges. The defence submitted evidence of this in court. After Julian was arrested in the Ecuadorean Embassy and removed, all of his personal possessions were illegally seized by the Ecuadorean authorities, including his files and his IT equipment. These were then shipped back to Ecuador by diplomatic bag. There, they were handed over to the CIA.

Arlene Foster's resignation speech was a curious one.

Indeed, she recognised her time in politics is over and spoke as if she won't be running again in 2022. But what caught my ear, and was unusual by the standards of our times, was how *happy* she seemed. Narrating the burial of her career, Foster managed it with a warm twinkle in her eye. Could it be, like her fearsome predecessor, that her personal countenance is gr...

But the PA’s decision—part of a revamped strategy to appeal to the new administration in Washington—is already backfiring. On Jan. 15, 2021, PA President M...
