China’s Possible First-Strike Capabilities Are Changing the Threat Equation*Kris Osborn* *Nuclear Deterrence, * China’s clear ambition to massively expand its nuclear arsenal is something that has been on the Pentagon’s radar for some time, as it was cited as a serious concern last year in the Pentagon’s 2020 China Military Report. China’s massive and fast-paced push to add more nuclear weapons to its arsenal is fast changing the threat equation for U.S. leaders who see the country’s ongoing large-scale increase in Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) as a very “destabilizing” event.

Neither Side Was Ready For World War II's Bombers War*Robert Farley* *World War II, Europe* Bomber advocates could object that the Luftwaffe lacked a true heavy bomber that could protect itself, while at the same time inflicting serious damage on the enemy. *Here's What You Need to Remember*: The fighters exacted an awful toll on the bombers, but the offensives undoubtedly had an impact on German industrial production.

Section Four as an Anti-Default RuleHere's another way to think about Section Four of the Fourteenth Amendment. The text, as read by the plurality opinion in *Perry v.
