Last month, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei announced that Tehran is in "no hurry" to return to its obligations under the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, and is prepared to wait until the US lifts its illegal sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

Speaking to the deal's remaining signatories during a virtual meeting on Friday, Araqchi added that "Iran will suspend its st...

On March 16, the United Kingdom announced it was significantly raising a self-imposed cap on its overall nuclear stockpile, from a previous target of 180 warheads by the mid-2020s to a new cap of 260. The decision was outlined in the United Kingdom’s Integrated Review, a landmark strategic update, which also said the country will no longer declare the size of its operational warhead stockpile (previously 120), or the numbers of warheads and operational missiles deployed on submarines (previously 40 and no more than 8, respectively). A previous review in 2015 had left open the poss...

Could you please be more vague?
Dennis, Small Dead Animals - 16 hours ago
If you’re wondering why this country’s approach to the pandemic is floundering badly, it’s precisely due to the fact that we put our trust in “experts” like these whose solutions are largely a pack of bromides, empty slogans and arguments over which version of central planning ought to be adopted. Just like in the Soviet… Continue reading →

The Secret Way the Allies Won World War II
Robert Beckhusen, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Robert Beckhusen* *World War II, * The United States and the United Kingdom supplied more than 21 million tons of aid to the Soviet Union during the war, including thousands of tanks and warplanes. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *It’s unlikely the aid turned the war entirely in the Soviet Union’s favor, as the German military was overstretched even during the 1941 invasion. That vulnerability was exposed terribly during the Red Army’s 1941–1942 Moscow counter-offensive — and it’s unlikely Germany would have won the war even if it had captured Moscow. Around 80 percent of th...
China's 'F-35': Could Beijing Build a New Stealth Fighter?
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *China Stealth Fighter, Asia* The smaller, lighter FC-31 looks remarkably like the U.S. F-35 stealth fighter. It also resembles the F-35 in function. Another Chinese stealth fighter is under development. Or will it just be an upgrade of an existing stealth aircraft? The Shenyang Aircraft company, which manufactures China’s most advanced warplanes, recently announced plans to develop a new fourth-generation fighter (in Chinese nomenclature, “fourth generation” is equivalent to Western “fifth-generation” aircraft such as the F-22 and F-35 stealth fighters). “The co...
How the Army’s Delta Force Became Feared
Joseph Trevithick, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Joseph Trevithick* *Delta Force, * The Army originally planned Delta Force as “an organization which can be deployed worldwide and has the capability to provide an appropriate response to highly sensitive situations including acts of international terrorism.” *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Unlike Beckwith, the Army expected its commandos to spend most of their time training and working with friendly forces in foreign countries, rather than launching raids by themselves. Even now, Army special operators devote a lot of time partnering up with American allies. After more th...
No Joke: The Legendary AR-15 Pistol Is a Real Deal
WarIsBoring, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*WarIsBoring* *Firearms, Americas* [image: Firearms] Folks could have an AR-15 assault rifle or a pistol, so why would someone want to combine them? *Key point: *The weapon is odd and is more of a novelty than anything else. Why did the AR-15 pistol fail in the marketplace? For years the AR-15 pistol had a rough time in the handgun and personal defense weapon markets. Reviews tended to be critical or even dismissive. Some even openly mocked the weapon for its supposed impracticality. The public wasn’t very interested in it other than as a novelty gun. *This first appeared in 201...
I Tried To Become a U.S. Military Sniper. I So Failed.
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Snipers, * It's really hard to be a sniper. (Take it from me, I tried it.) *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Barrett is now under contract to deliver M107A1 .50-Cal Long Range Sniper Rifle systems to the US Army in an $8 million deal which includes scopes, suppressors and square parts kits. (Kingman, Ariz.) My shoulder was pressed firmly against the end or “stock” of the rifle, my index finger extended horizontally just above the trigger as I lay flat on the ground and tried to align my right eye directly through the targeting sight -- all as I for the very first...

Vouchers Are About Abandoning Public Education, Not Freeing Parents
Peter Greene, CURMUDGUCATION - 16 hours ago
As the GOP mounts a multi-state initiative to implement vouchers or super-voucher education savings accounts in many states across the country, it's becoming increasingly clear that we've been looking at the voucher movement through the wrong lens (which is to day, the lens that voucheristas have promoted). Vouchers are not about freeing or empowering parents. They are about empowering private interests to chomp away at the giant mountain of education money in this country. They are about dismantling any sort of oversight and accountability; it's striking how many of these vouch...
