Why Does Iran Keep Ripping Off Fighter Jets?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Iran Air Force, Middle East* Iran's new "state of the art" fighter yet appears identical to an F-5F Tiger II two-seater jet. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The irony is that Tehran doesn’t need to be ashamed of its resourceful use of old jet fighters. In the nine-year-long Iran-Iraq war during the 1980s, Iranian fighter pilots fought one of the most intense air wars in recent history defending their home soil. Though higher-performance F-4 Phantoms and F-14 Tomcats shot down dozens of Iraqi fighters (and suffered losses in return), even the F-5s chalked... read more

Bouncing Off Bullets: One French Tank Took on Nazi Germany
*Sebastien Roblin* *Tanks, Europe* For the first time, the Wehrmacht had encountered a tank that completely that outmatched its own. *Here's What You Need to Remember*: Char B1s continued to see action into June 1940, frustrating German efforts at the local level. In five days, three B1s defending the bridges at Rethel knocked out 20 German tanks, nine armored cars and 38 motor vehicles. At five o’clock in the morning on May 16, 1940 a company of the 8th Panzer Regiment lay in an ambush position along a rubble-strewn street of the French town of Stonne.

America Can Wage Remote Warfare, But Can They Do So Successfully?
*James Holmes* *Military Strategy, * Remote war is easy to wage, hard to win, and carries hidden moral hazards. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Remote warfare substitutes technology for military manpower, carrying the Desert Storm philosophy to its utmost. Over at *MIT Technology Review*, U.S. Marine Corps infantry veteran and *Jarhead* author Anthony Swofford declares that that warmaking by remote control constitutes a bad way to make war. Seconded.

Bad Idea: Japan Once Invaded the United States
*Sebastien Roblin* *World War II, Pacific* This was one of the most bizarre intelligence failures of the war. *Here's What You Need to Remember*: At 3 A.M. on June 3, thirty-two Japanese war planes—an even mix of A6M Zero fighters, B5N torpedo bombers and D3 Val dive bombers—launched from the carriers *Ryujo *and *Jun’yo* with orders to knock out Dutch Harbor. Fog and overcast skies caused many of the Japanese aircraft to lose their way and return to their carriers, but seventeen managed to locate the Alaskan naval base and blew up an army barracks located there, killing twenty-f... read more
In a War Between America and China, Shipbuilding Could Decide the Winner
*James Holmes* *Shipbuilding, Asia* Should a naval conflict break out between China and the US, both sides will need to replace ships extremely quickly. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *If ships were smaller and easier to construct—if they were more like aircraft—then manufacturing a ship would come to resemble manufacturing an airplane. Fast design improvements would become thinkable even as mass production replenished numbers of hulls. The United States could lose a Western Pacific naval war because Communist China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) can regenerate combat powe... read more
Iran Is a Threat, But Is Far From Being a Regional Hegemon
*James Holmes* *Iran, Middle East* One legendary Yale professor would caution America against overly inflating the Iranian threat. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Pentagon has rightly designated great-power competition as its top priority. It would make little sense to commit heavy resources to offset a secondary worry such as Iran—especially if the opportunity costs were losing out in the Western Pacific, the Mediterranean, or elsewhere around the Eurasian periphery. When pondering some strategic quandary you can get oriented by postulating what the greats in the field... read more
Japan Had Strategic Alternatives to Pearl Harbor. Should They Have Taken Them?
*James Holmes* *military, Asia* Might Japan have averted its fate by avoiding direct confrontation with the United States? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Mahanian approach did pay off for the Imperial Japanese Navy—for a time. Japanese warriors ran wild for six months after Pearl Harbor, scooping up conquest after conquest. But a vengeful giant can regenerate strength given adequate time. As Yamamoto himself predicted, Japan could entertain “no expectation of success” if the war dragged on longer than six months or a year. Suppose Robert E. Lee had laid hands on a shipm... read more
China's Z-19 Helicopter - Is It Really Stealth?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Helicopters, Asia* The PLA has 180 Z-19s in service, implying it’s deployed into nine to twelve aviation regiments. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The concept behind an armed scout helicopter like the Z-19 is to leverage its superior sensors to spy on enemy forces, and in a pinch, launch and hit-and-run attacks from relatively long distances. Developing a scout helicopter that balances agility, protection, stealth and firepower—all at an affordable price—is a tricky business. The Pentagon spent twenty-two years and $7 billion developing the hyper-advanc... read more
A J Ayer’s Near Death Experience
A year before A J Ayer (1910-1989) died of pneumonia, he choked on a piece of salmon, lost consciousness, and in a technical sense died. For four minutes his heart had stopped until he was revived. Within a day, he had recovered sufficiently to chat about his near death experience. He claimed that he saw a bright light which was created by the government of the universe. He could not see the ministers who were in charge of the light but at a distance, he could see the ministers who were in charge of time. Ayer was instantly struck by the thought that Albert Einstein had theorized th... read more

Bad, Bad Times
The American military, for all it's size and cost, has really not been impressive in it's wars since 1945 - even though all of them have been against vastly inferior opponents and it's use of torture. That was true from the start as it plunged into a wars against Korea, Bay of Pigs in Cuba, Afghanistan, and others. In fact, we have no idea how many wars it has been losing because our news hasn't been telling all of them. Now, the U.S. has by far the biggest and most expensive army in the world. And it's been losing to much smaller and poorer countries. It's too bad that the Canadian... read more

Only the American System Can Rescue the U.S. from Hyperinflation
This past Tuesday's U.S. election is the harbinger of the global elites' death knell. The American Spirit is gathering the strength needed to deliver that blow.
