Are President Biden's Allies Turning Against Him?*WNU Editor: *Tucker Carlson is no friend of the Biden administration. But after a few minutes in the above monologue he is onto something when he observes that senior Biden officials of the government and allies in the media are now acting in a manner that is unprecedented for a sitting Democrat President. It is not open rebellion, but the "knives" are definitely out, and I concur with Tucker Carlson's assessment that President Biden will not be making any major decisions in the future by himself. I mentioned yesterday that President Biden's cognitive decline will force him... read more

Nazi Germany's Ho 229 Was Almost a Formidable Adversary*Sebastien Roblin* *World War II History, Europe* The only issue was it did not make it into the air before WWII ended. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Maximizing speed and range, not stealth, was the primary motivation behind the bat-shaped jet plane. Northrop Grumman revealed this year it is developing a second flying wing stealth bomber, the B-21 Raider, to succeed its B-2 Spirit. However, it was a pair of German brothers in the service of Nazi Germany that developed the first jet-powered flying wing—which has been dubbed, debatably, “Hitler’s stealth fighter.” But maximi... read more

The French King and the Mongol QueenWhen Guyuk Khan (the son of Genghis Khan’s eldest son Ögedei Khan) died on April 20, 1248, his Christian wife, Oghul Ghaimish became the regent of the Mongol territories that he used to control in the Levant. At that time, the Mongol Empire was at its height—they had proved that they were capable of defeating any foe in battle. The King of France Louis IX saw a military opportunity in the rise of a Christian Mongol Queen in the Levant. He felt that the Mongols under her leadership could be persuaded to join France in an alliance against the Islamic states. In 1250, Louis IX’s envoy ... read more

Commercial censorship?

A rose by any other name. . . guest bloggerTo the people who want to claim CRT is not being taught in schools: I was a Social Justice mouthpiece for 20 years. A true believer. I’m not some noob you can speak lies to and intimidate. I’ve seen you talk down to parents, condescend to them, bully them, use pseudo-intellectual jargon to tell them they don’t know what they’re talking about. All the academic jargon in the world can’t cover the fact that teaching kids to judge and treat one another differently on the basis of race is wrong. The only reason y’all are running scared from CRT now is because the pushback on it has be... read more

Why U.S. Navy’s Anti-Submarine Warfare Skills are Eroding*Kyle Mizokami* *military, Europe* The emphasis on land wars has directed the Navy’s energies—and budget—elsewhere. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *In March 2015, one of the largest nuclear-powered warships in the world was “sunk” by one of the smallest. The *Saphir*, a French nuclear attack submarine, reportedly penetrated the defenses of the aircraft carrier USS *Theodore Roosevelt* and scored simulated torpedo hits on her. The *incident*, originally reported by the French Navy, was later suppressed. On March 4th, 2015 the French Navy announced in a blog post that the sub... read more

Unparalleled in the Air, the AH-64 Apache Dominates from Above*Sebastien Roblin* *Apache AH-64, * The Apache is the world's premier attack helicopter. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The attack helicopter’s ability to ferret out and battlefield targets and hammer them with precision missiles remains highly valued. These helicopters continues to see extensive action in the Middle East and in demand in countries as diverse as the UK, Egypt, India, and Taiwan. Early in the morning of January 17, 1991, eight sleek helicopters bristling with missiles swooped low over the sands of the An Nafud desert in as they soared towards the border sep... read more

What Would it Take to Defend Taiwan from China?*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* The United States remains legally committed to the defense of Taiwan, even though it no longer recognizes it as the government of China. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *In the event of military conflict, most believe China would use the modern equivalent of the tactics used at Yijiangshan: a massive bombardment by long-range missile batteries and airpower well before any PLA troops hit the shore. We should all hope that scenario remains strictly theoretical. In 1955, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army embarked on a bloody amphibious land... read more

Why the Military Just Can’t Get Enough Combat Shotguns*Kyle Mizokami* *Shotguns, Americas* One of the most popular civilian firearms, the shotgun, also has a role as a military weapon. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Today shotguns are still part of US and NATO arsenals. The U.S. Marine Corps fields both the Mossberg 500 series pump shotgun, 590 series shotgun, and M1014 semi-automatic shotguns. The U.S. Army is replacing Mossberg 500 series shotguns with the new M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System, or MASS.

These 5 Aircraft Carriers Were Hardly Sea Worthy*Kyle Mizokami* *Aircraft Carriers, World* Aircraft carriers are, with the possible exception of submarines, the most complicated naval vessels afloat. *Here's What You Need to Remember: Kuznetso*v is old and needs to be retired, but as Russia’s only carrier that likely won’t happen any time soon. Until recently the ship’s propulsion system was unreliable, and in 2009 an electrical system problem led to a fire that killed one sailor. The ship’s hangar was too small, and it badly needed new arresting gear and electronics upgrades. Aircraft carriers are, with the possible exceptio... read more

The United States has been in Afghanistan for almost 20 years. It has been obvious for the last few years that we would be leaving soon. Former President Donald Trump wanted to leave Afghanistan, but the generals managed to slow him down and wait him out. Instead of making plans, they stonewalled. When President... read more

Once Again, The Vultures Circle HaitiDuring a visit to Haiti in early April, 2010, I traveled with a friend to the Club Indigo Hotel. Club Indigo was located 45 minutes north of Port-au-Prince near the small community of Montrouis. Formerly Club Med Haiti (and currently the Royal Decameron Indigo), the resort was promoted as “a unique residential, leisure and business hotel complex” and a “naturally privileged, protected place.” Set in a large tropical park, Club Indigo was situated between the Côte des Arcadins, one of Haiti’s longest stretches of pure white sand beaches, and a long mountain range.
