Britain's Covenanter Was One of the Worst Tanks of World War II (Maybe Ever)
*Caleb Larson* *Tanks, Europe* The tanks were underpowered and under-armored when compared to contemporary German designs. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Looks don't always kill. Tanks should be fast, powerful, robust—everything the Covenanter tank was not. *A Rushed Design* In 1938 and 1939, it became increasingly apparent to both the British military and to the world that a major European war was imminent. As a stop-gap measure, the Covenanter tank was built in large numbers, despite the fact the design was not fully mature—but was in actuality still being drawn up—and so ... read more

North Korea's Military May Be Deadly, But Its Air Force Is a Total Joke
*Kyle Mizokami* *North Korea, Asia* But even the antiquated junk that the KPAAF possesses can be used to good effect by a fanatically determined enemy. *Here's What You Need to Remember: * In the event of a war, the United States and South Korea couldn’t simply avoid engaging such an aerial target—especially if it was a civilian installation or some sort vital military asset. Moreover, against an enemy like North Korea, there is no way for the defender to know that such an attacking aircraft is not carrying some sort of chemical or biological weapon—in which case, even shooting ... read more
The Royal Air Force's Boulton Paul Defiant Was One Unusual Fighter
*Caleb Larson* *Royal Air Force, Europe* Did it fare well? *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Defiant’s peculiar arrangement benefitted more from enemy misidentification than from the plane’s inherent abilities. This two-man interceptor plane was designed to shoot the Luftwaffe out of the sky—with a turret in the fuselage. *RAF* This unusual fighter was designed as an interceptor aircraft for the Royal Air Force and drew upon lessons learned in the inter-war years.

*Kyle Mizokami* *military, Americas* Like any measure on the battlefield, there is always a countermeasure. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *For decades, protection lagged far behind lethality on the battlefield.

Is the Canadian government about to spend nearly a billion dollars on a dubious, greenhouse-gas-target-busting natural gas scheme?
Alberta-based Pieridae Energy is looking for $925 million in government funding for its proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Goldboro on Nova Scotia’s Eastern shore, and the federal government continues to meet with the company and — as far as we are allowed to know — also entertain the ask.

Are Hypersonic Missiles the Ultimate Threat to Aircraft Carriers?
*Peter Suciu* *Aircraft Carriers, * Aircraft carriers have always faced seriously deadly threats. In the past, it was submarines, which long posed the most danger to carriers. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Hitting the specific location of a carrier at such distance, even with a hypersonic weapon, wouldn't be the easiest thing to pull off. Current ballistic missiles that can achieve hypersonic speed follow a predictable flight path, but a concern is that these missiles could be able to maneuver in unexpected ways.

Is Nuclear Secrecy Worth the Costs?
*Alexandra B. Hall* *Nuclear Weapons, United States* Nuclear secrecy has limited value as a nonproliferation tool, and yet has stifled public debate on the most dangerous weapon of our time. The scientific discovery of nuclear fission just before World War II led some to fear the worst: Adolf Hitler with a nuclear weapon. The fear that the science behind nuclear weapons could cause catastrophe, and therefore needed to be kept secret, caused tensions within the scientific community. Historian and Professor Alex Wellerstein addresses the controversies around the need for secrecy of... read more
Ukraine’s Accelerating Slide into Authoritarianism
*Ted Galen Carpenter* *Ukraine, Europe* Washington needs to let go of its long-held myth that Ukraine is a blossoming American-style democracy. In truth, it bears a much greater resemblance to the pseudo-democratic systems of Russia, Hungary, and Turkey. U.S. officials have long been fond of portraying Ukraine as a plucky democracy fending off the menace of aggression from an authoritarian Russia. Washington’s idealized image has never truly corresponded with the murkier reality, but the gap has now become a chasm. Several actions that President Volodymyr Zelensky’s government ... read more

“At the approach of danger there are always two voices that speak with equal force in the heart of man: one very reasonably tells the man to consider the nature of the danger and the means of avoiding it; the other, even more reasonable, says that it is too painful and harassing to think of the danger, since it is not a man’s power to provide for everything and escape from the general march of events; and that it is therefore better to turn aside from the painful subject till it has come, and to think of what is pleasant.

CDC: Death Toll Following Experimental COVID Injections Now at 4,863 – More than 23 Previous Years of Recorded Vaccine Deaths According to VAERS
The CDC released the latest death figures last week following the experimental COVID injections this week, and that death toll now stands at 4,863 people, adults and children, that have been recorded as dying after receiving one of the experimental COVID injections. To put this number in perspective, since the CDC continues to claim that these deaths do “not establish a causal link to COVID-19 vaccines,” these deaths now exceed the total number of deaths reported to VAERS following vaccination for the past 23 years! From 1/1/1998 through 11/30/2020 (the last month before COVID sho... read more
5,688 Strikes: How the USS New Jersey Battleship Went to War in Vietnam
*Kyle Mizokami* *Vietnam War, * The USS New Jersey was the second Iowa-class battleship ever built, and the third from last U.S. Navy battleship ever built. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The U.S. Navy, concerned by aircraft losses in the air campaign against North Vietnam, saw the battleship as a low-risk way of bombarding coastal targets without losing aircraft and pilots. North Vietnam, other than tactical aircraft and torpedo boats, had little that could damage a battleship parked off its coastline. As the war in Vietnam reached its crescendo, the U.S. Navy prepared to ... read more
The “Golden State Stimulus": California Wants to Pass Its Own Stimulus
*Trevor Filseth* *Stimulus, United States* [image: Stimulus Money.] The budget surplus and accompanying checks come as a bright spot for Newsom. The governor is facing a recall election in November, and has been implicated in several salacious scandals during the COVID-19 pandemic. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* This stimulus measure would cost the state just under $12 billion overall. It would consist of a one-time payment of $600 – plus $500 for each dependent – to all Californians making less than $75,000 per year, or married couples making less than $150,000 total.

Russia's New Submarine Is Stealthy, Heavily Armed and All Killer
*Kris Osborn* *Russian Military, Eurasia* The 955As reportedly incorporate a number of technical upgrades intended to lower the submarine’s acoustic signature. The Russian Navy is reporting new progress with its second 955A *Borei*-class nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarine to incorporate some of the most advanced “quieting” technologies to ever exist. Just last year, Russia deployed its first in series of at least seven upgraded Borei-A nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarines, known as the 955As. The second one, called the Knyaz Oleg, is slated to enter service in July ... read more
Is Biden Upholding Democracy or Stoking Tensions in Africa?
*Ivan Sascha Sheehan* *Democracy, Africa* Far from enhancing democracy in Uganda, the imposition of fresh sanctions may be undermining Ugandans’ confidence in the democratic process and unnecessarily stirring tensions in the post-election period. President Joe Biden’s early pronouncement that “diplomacy is back” notwithstanding, the methods—if not the tone—employed by key members of the administration’s foreign policy team have thus far proven remarkably consistent with those of the forty-fifth president. Four months into his first term, sanctions—coupled with tough talk—remain ... read more
A Terror Weapon? Why the RIP Bullet Probably Shouldn’t Be Legal
*Kyle Mizokami* *, * The Radically Invasive Projectile, or RIP bullet, uses machined copper-tipped bullets to make multiple penetrations into a target, including the main body of the bullet, creating up to nine different wound channels. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Radically Invasive Projectile is an upgrade for standard handguns designed to make them more lethal without compromising other factors such as magazine capacity. The rounds frangible qualities make it dangerous to targets while decreasing the likelihood of the bullet striking innocents. A new bullet on the... read more
Foreign Actors Are Hacking America’s Democracy
*Ilan Berman* *Democracy, Americas* A growing number of authoritarian regimes are turning to technology in their efforts to demolish trust in democratic principles and institutions. What does America’s most notorious conspiracy theory have to do with foreign policy? Quite a lot, it turns out. In recent years, QAnon—a series of theories about the existence of an unaccountable “deep state” within the U.S. government—has garnered growing attention in U.S. politics, and concern from American law enforcement. Officials and experts alike now worry that the movement, while fringe, has ... read more
Will the Biden Administration Squander the Veterans Affairs Reforms Made By Trump?
*Robert Wilkie* *Veterans, Americas* The administration’s priority for the Department of Veterans Affairs seems to be to restore union prerogative. This is a union that has opposed employee accountability, had rent-free offices across the department, and even fought a directive to end smoking on medical campuses. As the Biden administration’s senior officials move into position and map out their initial objectives, the new Secretary of Veterans Affairs would be wise to build on the significant gains made by the previous administration in supporting those who have served their cou... read more
How Russia’s Top Nuclear Submarines End Up Sailing for India
*Mark Episkopos* *Submarine, * A somewhat unusual arrangement, India’s willingness to lease—rather than procure or import outright— submarine technology from Russia has clear precedent in recent history. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *With the Chakra II lease set to expire in several years, India has rented yet another Akula-class vessel. Dubbed the *Chakra III, *the Akula submarine will be transferred to India by 2025 as part of a $3 billion contract. In the latest instance of long-standing military cooperation between Moscow and New Delhi, India is set to rent additional ... read more
Why Joe Biden Looks Sad: A Fourth Stimulus Payment Seems Doomed
*Stephen Silver* *New Stimulus Payment, * The calls for another check have always been something of an uphill battle. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Biden Administration is pursuing a pair of large spending packages, including the American Jobs Plan and American Families Plan. The latter plan would extend that child tax credit to 2025. However, the Biden Administration has not proposed direct stimulus checks as part of either of those spending plans, and it doesn’t appear the votes are there in Congress to pass them. Nearly since the passage of the American Rescue Plan, ... read more

Pentagon Revolving Door Strikes Again - RPI's Daniel McAdams Interviewed
Frank Kendall, President Joe Biden's nominee for Air Force Secretary, when he answered questions before Congress on Monday ahead of his expected confirmation in the role. He faced a disturbing dearth of serious scrutiny about his very lucrative entanglements with defense contractors who've made him rich. The absence of criticism from an apparently apathetic US Congress makes his nomination all-the-more an illustration that the infamous Washington "swamp" is dirtier than ever. Daniel McAdams of the Ron Paul Institute weighs in: read more

CIA (Dis)Information Operations Come Home to the US
[image: undefined] Reporters joke the easiest job in Washington is CIA spokesman. You need only listen carefully to questions and say “No comment’ before heading to Happy Hour. The joke, however, is on us. The reporters pretend to see only one side of the CIA, the passive hiding of information about itself. They meanwhile choose to profit from the other side of the equation, active information operations designed to influence events in America. It is 2021 and the CIA is running an op against the American people. Leon Panetta, the Director CIA from 2009 to 2011 explained bluntly his ... read more

President Biden's White House Is 'A Monday-Through-Friday Kind Of Place'
President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden return to the White House after a trip to Camp David, in Washington, March 21, 2021. REUTERS/Erin Scott *CNN:** For Biden, the White House is 'a Monday-through-Friday kind of place'* (CNN)Beginning in 1973, when he was a United States Senator from Delaware, Joe Biden had a ritual: nearly every evening he would hop a train back to Wilmington after his work day on Capitol Hill, spending most nights and weekends at the place he considered home, 100 miles from Washington. Doing so earned him the nickname "Amtrak Joe," and in 2011, the... read more
