What Made America’s B-25 Mitchell Bomber a World War II Legend?
*Caleb Larson* *B-25 Bomber, Americas* The B-25 was an American workhorse. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The bomber's solid design helped turn the tide for the United States world-wide. The B-25 was first designed in 1940 and was intended to be the United States’ medium bomber workhorse. On paper, the B-25 was not particularly spectacular: it had two engines, a pencil-like fuselage, and a fairly modest bomb loadout. Still, the B-25 was not without its merits. A staggering number of B-25s were built during World War II. The design proved flexible, and a large number of aircraft... read more

*Caleb Larson* *World War II, Europe* The Sonderkraftfahrzeug was an odd motorcycle-tank hybrid. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Nazi Germany found a vehicle well-suited to the Eastern Front. Germany likes small things. Be it the Wiesel tankette, a tiny two or three-man scout tank armed with a 20-millimeter autocannon main gun, or this odd motorcycle-tank hybrid, the Sd.Kfz. 2. The Special-purpose Vehicle, or Sonderkraftfahrzeug as it was known in German, was intended to be a compact heavy mover for the German Wehrmacht during the Second World War.

Alternate History: What if America's Navy Made Smaller Aircraft Carriers?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Nimitz-class, United States* America has a fleet of supersized aircaft carriers, but things did not have to play out that way. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Despite the proposed advantages of the Medium Aircraft Carrier the disadvantages of the smaller platform ultimately made it unattractive. The United States Navy’s ten nuclear supercarriers are the largest warships on the high seas. Home to more than five thousand sailors and Marines, the Nimitz-class carriers are nuclear-powered and can carry nearly ninety combat aircraft. Still, it didn’t have to be ... read more

US Sends A Clear Message To African Nations As It Turns Its Back On Ethiopia
The corporate media in the United States is waging a misinformation campaign as part of the hybrid warfare being used to try to subjugate Ethiopia. Ajamu Baraka of the Black Alliance for Peace states there "is a coordinated effort to criminalize and delegitimize the Ethiopian state in order to cripple or balkanize it, maybe even to provide the political will for a direct military intervention." For 27 years, the United States-backed Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) ruled Ethiopia until it was overthrown by a popular movement in 2018.

Why Is The US Fueling The November 15 Cuba Protests?
On September 20, letters began to arrive at eight Cuban municipal or provincial government headquarters announcing the holding of “peaceful” marches on November 15 by a group called Archipiélago. The motivation for these marches was a call for change. The letter was not a formal request to occupy the busiest streets of some cities in Cuba, but rather a notification by the group that they would do so and they also demanded that the authorities provide them with security for these marches. By virtue of Cuban laws and obsessive American support for the marches, the Cuban government d... read more

Can the United States Ever Get Foreign Policy Right?
*Ivan Eland* *Foreign Policy, * Biden—having long drunk the Kool-Aid that U.S. alliances “won the Cold War” and should continue as they are in perpetuity—is seemingly taking risky moves that could result in war with the nuclear powers of China and Russia. The U.S. government has made many mistakes on foreign policy of late, even repeating errors from the past. That’s because the American foreign policy establishment—the Department of Defense, the Department of State, other government agencies, Congress, and the media—continue to rely on clearly tried and failed interventionist pr... read more

The StormBreaker is a winged air-to-ground munition designed to negate the advantage that ground based enemies enjoy during poor visibility operations due to fog, dust, darkness, smoke, or other factors that reduce visual range.

How Putin Is Pushing Back Against the West
*Nikolas K. Gvosdev* *Russia, * The various crises now springing up in Eastern Europe are meant as warnings that assume that Russia will simply accept whatever state of affairs the Western alliance decrees. At the end of 2020, I was conferring with colleagues about the likely trajectory of relations between Russia and the West. One was quite optimistic that things were about to "break our way." Russia was coping with the collapse of energy prices and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Democrats Kamala problem
Stephen Green: Panicked Democrats are deep into the blame game as rising inflation and plummeting polls have the White House — and its media enablers — shooting off in every direction. CNN brought out the heavy artillery on Sunday, firing a barrage directly into the lap of alleged Vice President Kamala Harris, in the form of a nearly 5,000-word hit piece. Harris has been on a roll lately, like a snowball gaining size and speed right into the political abyss. The CNN report says that “key West Wing aides have largely thrown up their hands” at Harris and her inept staff because t... read more

Photo: Video screen capture via FitLife.TV Each year, the release of the Environmental Working Group’s ‘Clean Fifteen’ and ‘Dirty Dozen’ lists inspire countless health conscious shoppers looking for the best deals on produce as free from toxic pesticides as possible. This year’s list followed a similar pattern, with the exception of two well known crops that contain “less than one percent detectable pesticides,” even in their non-organic iteraitons. Despite the good news, there’s still a pesticide-related problem that shows few signs of slowing in the United States, especially w... read more

“‘Nazi’ actually was a term of disparagement … a traditional joke name.”
*“‘Nazi’ actually was a term of disparagement. Nazi was a traditional joke name for dull simple guys from backward Bavaria and used to populate jokes about them, short for Ignatius. To the great glee of amateur comedians, Nazi also worked as a backronym for the German long-form of the National Socialist Workers’ Party. People who didn’t like them (almost everyone if you believe what Germans claimed after the war) started calling them Nazis. Which would get one beaten up and stomped to death. Shows the importance of thinking things through when you develop your brand. Or not, if yo... read more
