Russia's Worst Nightmare: A European Union Army?
*James Hasik* *Security, Europe* Could it happen? Shortly after the Brexit vote last June, those-in-the-know in Europe started calling for a renewed effort at a common European military force. A year ago this month, General Vincenzo Camporini, former head of the Italian general staff, told Defense News that all was now possible, as the obstructionist British were finally leaving. The imperative, as Defense News reported last September, has been variously described as ranging “from budgets and migration to a resurgent Russia or independence from NATO.” As Bloomberg reported that... more »

Should Puerto Ricans Welcome Señor Trumpanzee?
Apparently when Señor Trumpanzee came down off his weekend Adderall high, someone persuaded him to delete his horrific tweets attacking the mayor of San Juan and disparaging the victims of Hurricane Maria as lazy bums. But his sordid web of lies is embedded into the mind of horrified Americans. As you can see, most Americans don't believe his bullshit any more anyway. I think PolitiFact's fact-check on Trump's lies about Puerto Rico prompted his deleting the deranged tweets.

The death of Tom Petty is terrible, shocking, dare I say heartbreaking news. From the moment I heard those unmistakeable first notes of "American Girl," I was hooked.

It would be the first of many battles for him, and he was always on the side of the good -- musicians and fans.

Not surprisingly, the biggest user is still Russia, with about 2,500 in active service and another 8,000 in reserve. As of September 2016, about a thousand T-72s have been upgraded into B3 models, according to a Russian defense site.* When the Soviet T-72 tank was first deployed, Richard Nixon was President, the F-4 Phantom was America's primary fighter, and the world's steel beasts had yet to discover a nemesis called the wire-guided anti-tank missile.

AK-47: The Most Lethal Weapon of All Time?
*Blake Franko* *Security, * The story of this weapon is one of battlefield utility, market saturation and ill-advised arms shipments. *Throughout the Cold War, the AK provided the proletariats of the world with the means to rise up in communist insurrection. This mentality, that one must always be ready for war and continue the revolution, made arms production a core component of socialist planned economies. Moscow supplied millions of AKs, RPKs, PKMs and other Kalashnikov variants to friendly socialist nations. The beauty of such a simple device was that the Soviets could also ... more »

After Las Vegas, Individual First Aid Kits (IFAK's) are more important than ever
The massacre in Las Vegas yesterday, where hundreds were killed and injured, has highlighted the need to immediately aid a wounded person. I think those of us who care about preparedness for emergencies need to consider carrying, or having immediate access to, an Individual First Aid Kit, or IFAK, to enable us to do so. The acronym was originally derived from the US Army's Improved First Aid Kit (link is to an Adobe Acrobat document in .PDF format), but has since expanded to cover a range of options. There are many IFAK's available, from many manufacturers. You'll have to look ... more »

Attacks Stoke Debate Over Need For Domestic Terrorism Laws
Attacks on protesters in Charlottesville and an Air Force recruiting station in Oklahoma had the hallmarks of terrorist attacks.

Whether Here or There - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins
*Whether here or there* *Life goes on as you willed* *So, what is the fuss?* *© 2017 M.N. Hopkins* *Note: *The inspiration came to me for this poem yesterday. The first line of this poem came to me while watching a movie about a successful writer whom was unhappy with his life called, ”End Of The Tour”. I have written it in the haiku style of poetry (5-7-5 syllables) which I believe encourages others to come to their own insights. I have finished writing it this morning and have published it for the first time on my blog today, the 3rd of October, 2017.

Trillion Watt Lasers

Israel solution for North Korea is to bomb now
That is on the table obviously but also it is fraught with serious risks that need to be eliminated. Not least that Seoul is been effectively held as a hostage, although countering that is well within US means, but not cheaply. My approach would be to temporarily suspend the 1953 cease fire agreement and then declare a no fly zone over North Korea. Then ask for negotiations to settle differences and work toward a permanent treaty between the USA and North Korea. This allows South Korea to stand back. It even allows russia and China to watch. What it does accomplish is to is... more »
