Putin compares Pentagon spending with Russia's
Bruce K. Gagnon, Organizing Notes - 14 hours ago
Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a fiery rebuke to those who, he says, are intent on bringing about the breakup of the world’s largest country, insisting that Russia will defend itself. He also compares Russian annual military spending (around $42 billion) with Washington's which is 'officially' about $770 billion although when you add in the various buried treasure pots of national security spending (nuclear weapons in the DoE budget, Homeland Security, Veterans Administration, etc) the total is over $1 trillion a year. How can Russia be considered a military thre...

No Longer A World Leader
Owen Gray, Northern Reflections - 11 hours ago
There was a time -- not long ago -- when Britain was a world leader in international aid. Simon Rawnsley writes: It was at a meeting of the rich democracies’ club in Scotland in 2005 that Tony Blair cajoled the other leaders to commit to big increases in international aid. The signatories included George W Bush, a Republican US president, Jacques Chirac, a Gaullist French one, and Silvio Berlusconi, the bunga-bunga prime minister of Italy. This was not an act of charity, but of self-interested altruism. The pledge recognised that it is in the long-term interests of the affluent de...
China Is Training to Fire Artillery at 'High Altitudes'. Why Bother?
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *China, * Beijing aims to develop expeditionary attack capability for higher altitude warfare. The People’s Liberation Army is firing off towed artillery in the plateau regions of Western China to prepare for high altitude warfare in extreme weather conditions, a development which is just a small part of a broader Chinese military effort to massively up-gun its mountain warfare force. While the weapons plus up involves many different systems to include self-propelled howitzers and armored assault vehicles, a more transportable towed gun howitzer seems of particular...

Floating Garbage: 5 Worst Aircraft Carriers in History

*David Axe* *Aircraft Carriers, * Aircraft carriers require a lot of care and costly maintenance. Here are a few carriers that perhaps should have had their careers cut short. *Here's What You Need to Remember*: Admiral Kuznetsov’s ill repute did not deter the Indian and Chinese governments from acquiring second-hand Russian carriers. China’s Liaoning, a rebuilt sister ship of Admiral Kuznetsov, began limited testing in the summer of 2012, serving a mostly educational role while a Chinese shipyard slowly built a new carrier from scratch.

*Michael Peck* *Russian Military, Eurasia* Russia would have to solve all the issues that Google and Tesla are facing with self-driving cars, if those cars carried a ton of high explosives. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Modern weapons like tanks and artillery often have some degree of automation, such as autoloaders to speed up the rate of fire, or automatic countermeasures to stop incoming rockets. Nonetheless, if Smirnov is suggesting a fully autonomous multiple rocket launcher, then that takes automation to a much more challenging level. Robo-Katyusha is coming. A few y...

*Mark Episkopos* *North Korea, Asia* A closer look at North Korea’s current ground forces paints the picture of a bloated army, crippled by technical backwardness and severe logistical deficits. *Here’s What You Need to Remember:* North Korea’s defense budget occupies a staggering 23% of its GDP, by far the highest proportion of any 21st-century country.

Beijing’s Quad Quandary: Why China Fears Losing Bangladesh

*Jagannath Panda* *China, Bangladesh, Asia* Beijing’s warning to Dhaka is drawn staunchly on concerns over how a “Quad plus Bangladesh” could hinder China’s South Asia policy and prove an advantage for India (and Japan) in their strategic competition. On May 12, in a sharp rebuke to Bangladesh, Beijing’s representative to Dhaka, Li Jiming, warned Bangladesh that their bilateral ties would undergo “substantial damage” if Dhaka joins or backs the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad). Comprising India, Japan, the United States, and Australia, the Quad has quickly become a key grou...
After Billions in Stimulus Payments Sent, the IRS Is Preparing for More
