“It Was Always Going To End This Way In Afghanistan”*“It Was Always Going To End This Way In Afghanistan”* by Dick Polman "Anyone who professes to be shocked by the Taliban victory in Afghanistan has not been paying attention. It was always bound to happen. It was merely delayed because Uncle Sam kept his trillion-dollar finger in the dike for 20 years. Were we fated to remain forever, in a land that had already proved fatally inhospitable to the British and the Russians and Alexander the Great? The harbingers of failure had long been obvious, but most Americans, benumbed by the war, had long ago stopped paying attention. In 2019, w... read more

Singapore’s decision to announce the F-35 purchase during a series of disputes with Malaysia suggest that the F-35s capability could become a “big stick” that it might wield in the future in regional affairs. While Malaysia’s air force is good for the region, the latest aircraft it is considering purchasing are only fourth generation and would probably only be ... read more

Nazis and Americans Fought Side-By-Side During One WWII Battle*Sebastien Roblin* *WWII Semi-Automatic, Europe* During the Battle at Itter Castle German, American, French and eastern European defenders of the castle acted on their own initiative to salvage the situation, rather than act at the behest of higher commanders. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* The Battle at Itter Castle is filled with crazy twists and turns and is notable for two reasons. First, it is quite possibly the only battle where the Nazis and Americans fought on the same side. Second, it is a powerful example of soldiers acting on their own rather than at the behest o... read more

Stalin suffered a nervous breakdown when Germany, with whom Russia had a nonaggression pact, launched its massive Barbarossa surprise attack.

Time to stock up - here come the shortages againFollowing on from my post yesterday about our current situation, particularly where I quoted Daisy Luther's warning about shortages of consumer goods, this week I've been going through my family's preparations for emergencies, checking that we have everything essential, and replacing or re-stocking in areas where we might be short.
