Might Starbucks soon start sharing the bucks?The cream always rises to the top. Howard Schultz must love this folk maxim. And well he should. Understanding the ways of cream has helped make Schultz — the two-time former CEO and current chairman emeritus of Starbucks — a billionaire almost five times over. Starbucks baristas in the upstate New York city of Buffalo might beg to differ. Cream does rise, they understand. But that rising cream never achieves actual separation — physical distance — from the rest of a beverage. Schultz and his fellow Starbucks movers and shakers, on the other hand, have achieved that physical separ... read more

During the Second World War, the American generals delayed the allied advance through Western and Central Europe.

This Plane Can Help America Win a War Against China*Charlie Gao* *Submarines, Asia* Practice makes perfect. *Here's What You Need to Know*: MPA can deploy sonobuoys, floating sensors that either detect noises or send out pings to find submarines. With things heating up in the South China Sea (SCS), much attention has been paid to the ships and submarines that could potentially square off against each other in the region. This ignores a key asset of most navies that is already on the “front lines” and shaping military interactions—Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA). Skillful use of these aircraft may determine how an engagement plays... read more

Could Nuclear Artillery Have Helped the Soviet Union Win a War in Europe?*Charlie Gao* *Nuclear Weapons, Europe* The Soviets developed the 2A3 in response to American nuclear artillery. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The entire concept quickly became obsolete. In the 1950s, both NATO and Warsaw Pact doctrine focused on the employment of tactical nuclear weapons. Truly strategic nuclear weapons and the doctrine of mutually assured destruction (MAD) were at their infancy at the time, so nuclear weapons were seen as a tactical as well as a strategic tool. As a result, both the United States and the Soviet Union developed a multitude of battlefield nuke... read more

So much for legalizing marijuana...
I have to laugh at the current mess in the California marijuana "industry". Citizens there voted to legalize marijuana, and the state set up a structured "industry" - complete with taxes, etc. Trouble is, they taxed it too heavily. Two and a half centuries after the Boston Tea Party, legal cannabis operators say it might be time for a California Weed Party. But rather than dump their agricultural product into the Pacific Ocean, shop owners and others are floating the idea of withholding their state tax payments. This year, that could add up to $1.3 billion. The goal is to e... read more

How Does the F-16 Falcon Fit the Air Force of the Future?*Kris Osborn* *U.S. Air Force, United States* The Air Force is paring down its fighter fleet to save costs. Where does that leave its aging fleet of F-16s? *Here's What You Need to Remember:* The future fighter force strategy is aimed at pivoting the Air Force away from a largely 1980s-era legacy aircraft to a modern group of fighter jets that can outmatch and destroy enemy fifth-generation aircraft and air defenses operated by major “peer” adversaries such as Russia and China. The Air Force’s sixth-generation stealth fighter will replace its F-22 Raptor fighter jets. The F-15 E... read more

What the S-500 System Could Mean for China and India*Peter Suciu* *S-500, Eurasia* Both countries are expected to purchase the missile defense system. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *It could make sense that China would have interest in such a platform as it continues to assert its position in the South China Sea. Where things get a little complicated is that India could be the first potential buyer for the S-500 “Triumfator-M.” Yet the fact that potential adversaries China and India have both expressed interest doesn’t seem to be a serious reason for concern for Russia at this point.
