“Government Stole our Water”: US Farmers Ready for Standoff with Feds in Drought Irrigation CrisisOutraged farmers threatened to disrupt a federal order to stop the flow of irrigation water from a lake amid a severe drought in the US state of Oregon.

The T-72 has also been employed in nearly every major conflict of the past two decades--and the upgrades keep coming to keep it ready for the rigors of modern warfare. It may not be as iconic as the T-34, but the Soviet T-72 main battle tank (MBT) has remained a workhorse around the world, despite its inc... read more

The 5 Shades of China's Gray-Zone Strategy*James Holmes, Toshi Yoshihara* *China, Asia* Beijing has devised a variety of stratagems to flummox those who defy its claims to sovereignty over islands, sea and sky. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Washington should be wary about a Beijing that has taken incremental steps toward small-stick diplomacy. Deterring aggression in the “gray zone” is hard. The keeper of an existing order—an order such as freedom of the sea—finds itself conflicted. That’s because gray-zone aggressors deliberately refuse to breach the threshold between uneasy peace and armed conflict, justifying a mart... read more

Is Enough Priority Being Placed on Body Armor For Women?*Peter Suciu* *military, * Efforts to develop better-fitting body armor for women have been on the "to-do" list of the Pentagon for years, but little progress has been made, it seems. There was some controversy earlier this year when it was announced that the United States Air Force would begin to produce maternity flight suits for female aviators, and more recently the U.S. Navy Reserve has followed suit with its own design for expectant mothers. While some have questioned whether there was an actual need for such flight suits, it should be noted that the clothing is worn by th... read more

What to Watch for in the Iranian Elections*Michael Rubin* *Iran, Middle East* To focus on the outcome of the Iranian presidential election may be interesting, but ultimately it is not hugely relevant. Iranians are heading to the polls to elect a new president as incumbent Hassan Rouhani is limited by law to two consecutive terms. The Islamic Republic, of course, is not a democracy. Ultimate authority rests with figures and institutions that Iranians do not popularly elect. The Guardian Council regularly culls more than 95 percent of candidates seeking top posts. The Supreme Leader rules not only as a political leader but... read more

What Is My Initial Take On The Biden - Putin Geneva Summit
*WNU Editor:* This is a better summit when compared to the U.S. - China Alaska summit fiasco two months ago. And the above picture (from the Drudge Report) will be the message that the U.S. main stream media will spread. But this is not a win for President Biden. He looked good at the beginning of his news conference, but it fell apart at the end. His answers were very vague, and I cannot help but feel that nothing of substance was accomplished in this summit. He also only took questions from U.S. reporters, not foreign reporters. This was a big mistake. Biden toning down... read more
