Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Russian Navy, Eurasia* The ability of an American user to access a website in Europe or vice versa largely depends upon a network of several hundred distinct armored, fiber-optic Submarine Communication Cables that run across around six hundred thousand miles of ocean floor. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The U.S. has begun responding to the threat, with 2018 defense budget authorizing construction of a second cable-laying/repair ship costing $250 million to supplement the only one currently in U.S. military service, the USS Zeus.

Denying Reality Leads To Tyranny and Societal Failure
Geopolitics101, Covert Geopolitics - 23 hours ago
The common thread that connects failed societies, from Weimar Germany to the Soviet Union, is an almost pathological insistence on denying reality. Weimar Germany denied that masses of printed money would destroy civilized society. The Soviet Union insisted that Soviet Man would emerge spontaneously from the ashes of capitalist society. Weimar Germany spawned Nazi Germany. … Continue reading Denying Reality Leads To Tyranny and Societal Failure →

Jeff Greenfield: Divided GOP Civil War Is A Media Myth
By P.J. Gladnick ~ Watch or read the mainstream media news and a constant theme they have been promoting incessantly since the election (and well before that) is of a divided Republican Party engaged in a civil war.

Climate Change: Last Bastion Of The Royalists
By Duggan Flanakin ~ Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. – C. S.

Europe in the Crosshairs: Russian Nuclear Artillery Could Destroy NATO
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Artillery, Nuclear Weapons, * In the 1950s, both NATO and Warsaw Pact doctrine focused on the employment of tactical nuclear weapons. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The Soviets would continue developing tactical nukes for use in artillery, but later shells utilized miniaturized warheads that allowed nukes to fit in compact projectiles in the Soviet-standard 152mm and 203mm calibers. Likewise, the United States also made nuclear shells in the 155mm and 203mm calibers after abandoning the 260mm M65 cannon. In the 1950s, both NATO and Warsaw Pact doctrine focuse...

Due to this fact, the IRS has taken the initiative to automatically recalculate tax liabilities for each individual—which may have the potential to delay some of th...

Michael Peck, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Cold War History, Europe* The Brits had an insane last-ditch effort plan to save themselves from the Russians. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* The channel tunnel would have withstood a blast from almost anything else. If Soviet tanks ever blitzed across western Europe to the shores of the English Channel, the English had a secret plan to keep them from crossing into Britain. Blow up the Channel Tunnel with a nuclear bomb. This nuclear Brexit would have kept the “barbarians from the gates of Calais,” in the words of one British official during the Cold War, ...

On Regimes That Are Impeached Before The Infinite
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 1 day ago
In the twenty-first century certain nations have been impeached before the infinite. They have vexed God by becoming ossified and decadent. Past performance does not matter to God—He looks at only the future potential. There is no room for these ossified and decadent nations in mankind’s story in the future. They will be annihilated in the next five to ten years, though their civilizations might survive and resurface in the form of new nations. I am taking an inspiration from Victor Hugo’s commentary, in his novel *Les Misérables*, on the fate of Napoleon. Here’s an excerpt: “Was i...

Finally, [the Greene Report] recommends a… Continue reading →
