Labour Leadership Vs Labour Staff
Comrades will have read about the Labour Party's cash crisis, or how in the space of 16 months the grown ups in the room turned a £13.5m reserve into just enough to cover one month's staff wages. How to make good the cash flow crisis? Why, by sacking people of course. Unfortunately for the leader and the general secretary, their plans leaked to the press before party employees could be spoken to about their fates, something they has to apologise for. 90 staff, or about a quarter of the apparat are due to be cut. And the staff? They're not happy, and they're not taking it lying down.... read more

Good Luck: The A-10 Warthog Is Pointing Its Guns at Naval Vessels
*David Axe* *A-10 Warthog, Pacific* The low- and slow-flying A-10 — the Air Force’s premier tank-killer — might seem like an odd choice for a maritime patrol plane, especially in air space where there’s a good chance of running into supersonic Chinese fighters. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The radar-less A-10 is capable of fighting at sea, provided some other plane does the sensor work. Warthogs gunned enemy patrol boats during the NATO intervention in Libya in 2011.

FDA Wants to Ban Another Natural Supplement with Success in Treating Symptoms of COVID-19
N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) has been on the market as a supplement for decades—why is the FDA attacking it now? It seems obvious that the FDA is clearing the market of affordable NAC supplements in an effort to eliminate competition for NAC drugs that could be coming to market in the next few years. For starters, a drug company is investigating NAC as a treatment for a rare genetic disorder that damages the myelin sheath, which insulates nerve cells in the brain. But that’s just the beginning. A search through the government’s clinical trials database shows considerable interest f... read more

Could the F-35 Save Money in Warfare? The Answer Is Yes.
*Kris Osborn* *F-35, * The F-35 cost critics missing vital parts of the overall equation. If a single F-35 can successfully accomplish a mission that it would take five to ten 4th-generation aircraft to attempt with a less clear probability of success, which is more expensive? Certainly, the actual price per plane and especially the sustainment costs of the F-35 are quite significant. But how might they appear when placed within a broader fleet-wide context? Due to its long-range sensors, an F-35 is capable of finding, tracking, and destroying groups of enemy fighters before it... read more

Minnesota Woman Loses Both Legs and Both Hands Following Second Pfizer COVID-19 Shot
Jummai Nache, and her husband, Philip Nache, were born in Nigeria and came to the U.S. to settle in Minneapolis a few years ago, working with the Southern Baptists to plant churches among the African communities living in Minneapolis. They were reportedly forced to leave Nigeria due to the "Boko Haram terrorist group," and eventually ended up in Minneapolis serving as missionaries with the Southern Baptists. Tragically, it appears that the Naches have adopted many of the American Christians' values here in the U.S., which includes participating in and trusting the corrupt medical... read more

A Government Practitioner’s Guide to Countering Online Foreign Covert Influence
Kremlin, 2012. (Larry Koester, https://flic.kr/p/srp8yT; CC BY 2.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/) Emerging from the fog of two decades dominated by counterterrorism, another national security wind is sweeping through public discourse: online covert influence operations. Like terrorism, the threat of covert influence can only be mitigated but never eliminated, both require persistent countermeasures, responses are often perceived as inflating the threat, and the solutions typically offered can be broad and abstract.

Merkel's Successor Will Pick Up Where She Left Off With Russia
*Arik Burakovsky* *EU-Russia Relations, * In a recent foreign policy speech, the “Merkelian” candidate said he “wouldn't change a thing” about the current government line toward Moscow. Although Chancellor Angela Merkel prepares to retire after the end of her fourth term in September this year, there is a strong chance her policy toward Russia will live on. Her anointed heir, Armin Laschet, the new leader of the center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the incumbent North Rhine-Westphalia premier, remains the frontrunner to succeed her. Laschet, who largely shares her di... read more
Angela Merkel: Putin Whisperer?
*Kathryn Stoner* *EU-Russia Relations, * Merkel's successor will face more of the same challenges with Russia as Putin’s regime grows more repressive within and aggressive abroad. Whether they will do any better than Merkel has is doubtful, but without her experience and foreign policy acumen, Germany’s new chancellor most certainly could do far worse. During her long tenure at the peak of German politics, German chancellor Angela Merkel has watched the gradual and then dramatic shift in Russia from unsteady, imperfect, quasi-democracy to a maturing (some would say stagnating) a... read more
The Time to Ease the UK-U.S. Travel Corridor is Now

Take it from a Brit who just flew through Ecuador to get to California, the U.S.-UK travel corridor is a complete mess.

Can Germany Break the Status Quo in EU-Russia Relations?
*Susan Stewart* *EU-Russia Relations, * Despite the fact that even within Germany numerous voices have been pushing for the adoption of a more influential leadership position, a country’s strategic culture usually changes only slowly, and this is definitely the case in Berlin. EU-Russia relations will not change as much as hoped by some and feared by others, as a result of the German elections. There are at least four reasons for this: First, the new German government seems likely to be dominated by a coalition between the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Green Party. T... read more

Every year the Levada Center, Russia’s most reliable pollster, publishes a Top Ten list of the country’s friends and enemies.

Conservatives' Understanding Of Climate Science Is More In Line With Climate Scientists Than Liberals'
Americans are inherently skeptical, and American adults lead the world in science literacy, so those two things combine to show up in debates about climate change and other sciences.
