Debtors’ Unions: Indebtedness As A Source Of Collective PowerThat’s the idea. In 2019, more than three quarters of U.S. households were holding some type of debt. In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, 1 in 4 adults are now struggling to pay household bills. But debt in U.S. culture is typically treated as an individual liability or a personal failure. The idea of a debtors’ union turns that experience on its head — reframing indebtedness as a shared problem and a source of collective power. Think of a saying attributed to 20th-century industrialist J. Paul Getty: “If you owe the bank $100, that’s your problem. If you owe the bank $100 mill... read more

Why the Military (Reluctantly) Gave Up on Flamethrowers*Peter Suciu* *Flamethrowers, * The idea of using fire as a weapon likely occurred as soon as the first human settlement was attacked by a rival tribe. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *In Vietnam, various flamethrowers were also seen as a valuable close combat weapon—one that could demoralize enemy troops and reduce positions that have otherwise resisted other forms of attack. The idea of using fire as a weapon likely occurred as soon as the first human settlement was attacked by a rival tribe. The problem is that fire doesn’t know friend from foe and for eons couldn’t really... read more

Theft Pays: China Could Not Have Built the J-20 Fighter Without America*Peter Suciu* *J-20 Stealth Fighter, Americas* While the dragon may be a symbol of China, its actual Mighty Dragon appears to be born of western innovation! *Here's What You Need to Remember: *It would be a tremendous coincidence that the J-20’s development began in earnest only after the F-22 was unveiled, yet some of the technology on the Chinese fighter has been described as looking “awfully similar” to systems on the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter. There is an old saying, “good artists borrow, great artists steal” and while it isn’t actually a Chinese... read more

CDC Says Americans May Not Need Boosters After Third Shot*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Coronavirus, United States* Cases are increasing by more than 5 percent in forty-two states, while nearly 90,000 coronavirus-infected patients are being treated in hospitals across the United States.

Meet Larry Elder: Could a Libertarian Talk-Show Host be California's Next Governor?*Peter Suciu* *Governors, * The question has become not so much whether Newsom will face removal from office, but who might replace him as governor of the Golden State. Opponents of California's Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom have gathered enough signatures to trigger a recall, which will be held on Sept. 14—only the fourth gubernatorial recall election in U.S. history. As of this week, a survey of polls, compiled from FiveThirtyEight, show almost even odds that Newsom may have to face eviction from the governor's mansion. Now, the question has become not so much whether Newsom wil... read more

Why the Indian Army Prefers the Russian Tanks*Kyle Mizokami* *military, Asia* Russian state media has reported that India is interested in the Armata as the basis of a new, localized tank. In the mid-1970s, India began development on a totally new, advanced main battle tank that would satisfy the needs of the country’s Armored Corps. An impressive combination of firepower, armor protection and mobility, the tank was to be India’s first indigenously produced tank—and one of the best in the world. The service date for the tank, known as Arjun, was confidently set for 1985. Instead, the Arjun suffered a tortuously long develo... read more

This Is Why Pakistan’s Build Up of Tactical Nuclear Weapons Should Worry You*Kyle Mizokami* *Pakistan, South Asia* Tactical nuclear weapons are designed for use on the battlefield. They can wipe out entire armies at once. *Here's What You Need To Know:* Pakistan’s tactical nuclear weapons, while intrinsically unsavory, are at least defensive in nature. Unfortunately, given the number of times India and Pakistan have gone to war over the last eighty years, their use is theoretical than those of most countries.

Remember When Iran Decimated Iraq's Navy in a Single Battle*Sebastien Roblin* *History, Middle East* The Iranian Navy’s mission was clear cut: take out both oil rigs that were supporting the Iraqi forces. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Claims about who shot down what vary wildly. Iran lost between one and three Phantoms to ground fire and MiGs. Around six MiG-23s were destroyed by both Phantoms and missile boats, and one MiG was shot down by a Tomcat as the Iraqi pilot made an attack run on the *Joshan*. In exchange for sinking the *Paykan*, the Iraqi Navy lost five Osa missile boats and four P-6 torpedo boats—roughly 80% of its s... read more
