Haqqani in charge of Kabul security; IMF loans Belarus $1 billion
8-28-21 KABUL: The US who first designated the Haqqani Network as a terrorist group in 2012, is now a part of the government in Afghanistan post the Taliban takeover of the war-torn country. Without bold action that doesn't cow to the demands of the terrorists now running Afghanistan there will be many avoidable deaths in the next few weeks--related to the airport operations alone. There will be massive human rights violations, especially against women, said Jason Criss Howk, writing in Clearance Jobs.

The Twenty-first Century Geopolitics: Feminists Vs. Patriarchies
The West is a civilization of feminists. The Chinese civilization is very patriarchal—the same is the case with the Islamic kingdoms in the Middle East and elsewhere in the world. This means that the contest for global power in the twenty-first century boils down to a fight between the feminist nations and the patriarchic nations. If the fate of the world is decided through negotiations, then the West has a chance to prevail, since feminists are generally good at negotiations. But if a full-fledged war breaks out, then I believe the Chinese and the Islamic nations might succeed in o... read more

Forget Nuclear Submarines—Regular Diesel Subs Are What You Want for Shallow Water Operations
*James Holmes* *U.S. Navy, Global* Diesel subs are also cheaper, which is invaluable in an era of tightened budgets. *Here's What You Need to Know:* U.S. Navy and Marine Corps strategy increasingly calls for procuring winsome, cheap, yet hard-hitting warships in large numbers in order to prosecute “distributed” operations. The concept would add resiliency to the fleet, letting it absorb the loss of individual ships while retaining enough capacity to fight on. That applies to the undersea fleet as well—or should. Manned and unmanned conventional submersibles appear to fit neatly ... read more

Abandoned And Alone: Lamenting The US-Australian Alliance
Listening to Australian pundits talk about the relationship of their country with the US – at least from a strategic perspective – can be a trying exercise.

Biden Must Stop Russia’s Illicit Procurement of Sensitive American Technologies
*Andrea Stricker, John Hardie* *Espionage, * Investigations have exposed many Russian illicit procurement schemes in recent years, targeting items ranging from sensitive diving equipment to dual-use machine tools to components used in night-vision and thermal-imaging devices. Federal agents last year raided a New Hampshire company linked to the Russian Federal Security Services, or FSB, according to court documents unsealed in July. Investigators acted on evidence that the firm, Intertech Corporation, was illegally exporting U.S. equipment with potential applications in Moscow’s... read more
In an Arms Race Between India and China, Aircraft Carriers will be the Deciding Factor
*Richard A. Bitzinger* *Aircraft Carriers, Asia* As China and India fight for aircraft carriers, will they even matter in future warfare? *Key Point:* Overall, the Asian-Pacific navies are acquiring greater range, speed, operational maneuver, firepower, versatility, and flexibility, as well as improved battlefield knowledge and command and control. Consequently, conflict in the region, should it occur, would certainly be faster, more long-distance and yet more precise and more lethal, and perhaps more devastating in its effect. Aircraft carriers, it seems, are all the rage nowad... read more
India's Aircraft Carriers are an Intimidating Force
*Robert Farley* *Aircraft Carrier, Asia* The Indian Navy is the preeminent force in the Indian Ocean. *Key point: *India has committed to carrier aviation and has the resources and experience to develop a successful force. However, India still faces some big decisions, including the choice of a new carrier fighter and the design characteristics of its flagship-class of fleet carriers. With one large carrier in service and another on the way, India has become one of the world’s pre-eminent naval aviation powers. How did the program come about? Where is it going? And what is the st... read more
Ford-Class Aircraft Carriers Blow Nimitz-Class Carriers Out of the Water
*Kyle Mizokami* *Aircraft Carrier, * USS Ford follows in the steps of the highly successful Nimitz-class carriers. *Key Point:* *Ford*’s entry into active service will once again raise the Navy’s carrier force to eleven ships. The Navy’s carrier fleet is unique in having a congressionally mandated minimum force level: U.S. Code § 5062 states, “the naval combat forces of the Navy shall include not less than 11 operational aircraft carriers.” For, now the Navy is operating with a waiver. In 2009, the U.S. Navy finally began construction of the first new type of aircraft carrier i... read more

* The World’s Climate Is Changing, so What Should We Do?* Earlier this month, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published a report (AR6—the Sixth Assessment Report) that human-caused climate change is accelerating and that radical changes to human behavior are needed to avert disaster. U.N. Secretary General António Guterres said of the report that “alarm bells are deafening” and the situation is “code red for humanity.” I hesitate to respond to U.N. statements about climate change because it’s so predictably alarmist. The “debate” between alarmists and skeptic... read more

* Evidence Supporting School Mask Mandates Is Weak* Wading into the bitter debate about face mask mandates in schools, President Joe Biden is threatening civil rights lawsuits against states that ban such requirements. “Some politicians are trying to turn public safety measures — into political disputes for their own political gain,” Biden complained last week, saying his administration won’t “sit by as governors try to block and intimidate educators protecting our children.” Biden’s framing implies that school officials are indisputably “protecting our children” by forcing them ... read more

109 Czech deaths apparently caused by the Covid vaccination
That's about 50,000 vaccine deaths globally. CNN Prima News helpfully listed the most cited side effects There may be very serious, long-term effects of the Covid vaccination (which I find unlikely but possible; and the emergence of ADE seems somewhat likely) but there are surely immediate reactions to the vaccine and lots of deaths. The Czech subsidiary of CNN has helpfully listed the vaccine-related complaints and deaths in Czechia, a nation of 10.7 million which has delivered 11.4 million vaccines (5.7 million first jabs; 5.5 million second jabs; 0.2 million one-shot vaccines). 5... read more

Update On The International Efforts To Save The Planet Through Climate Litigation
* Having had a long career in the litigation business, I have a well-developed appreciation for the limits on what can be accomplished through lawsuits. Among litigators, the line “Let’s sue the bastards” is always good for a laugh, in rueful recognition of the enormous amounts of effort that can be expended for little, or even negative, results. * But the green environmental movement appears to have both near infinite funding and legions of adherents filled with crazed religious zeal. When somebody in this crowd blurts out “Let’s sue the bastards,” the funding immediately emerges, ... read more
