I've Thought About It A Lot And I've Concluded Gillibrand Would Be A Better President Than Trump. Will Fox Viewers Agree Tonight?
One of the reasons Kirsten Gillibrand almost never gets beyond 1% in any
national or early-state polling is because Democratic primary voters know
her mostly as an opportunist who stabbed Al Franken in the bank to advance
her own mediocre career. That factor isn't likely to matter much to TV
viewers tonight who tune in to see her Dubuque Iowa town fall on Fox. Fox
viewers were never Franken fans. And, in fact, many years ago-- when she
was still a right-wing anti-immigrant/pro-NRA congresswoman from upstate
New York-- Gillibrand was a frequent and popular Fox News guest, always

The 'Hard Landing' that Destroyed a U.S. Military Helicopter in Afghanistan Sounds Like a Crash
*Task and Purpose*
*Security, *
Here is what we know.
An Army CH-47 Chinook helicopter was "destroyed" in a "hard landing" in
Afghanistan last week, defense officials confirmed to Task & Purpose, which
sounds a whole lot like a crash, if you ask me.
"There was no hostile fire or enemy contact involved," Army Lt. Ubon
Mendie, spokesperson for Operation Resolute Support, told Task & Purpose.
"Both Afghan and U.S personnel were injured but are all stable and expected
to recover. The aircraft was destroyed during the incident."

We Can Tell You All of the Ways to Kill a Hypersonic Missile
*Samran Ali*
*Security, *
Yes, it might be possible. Here is how.
At a time when existing missile defenses can’t guarantee success against
the ballistic missiles, a whole new challenge has been posed by hypersonic
vehicles. Many people believe that after a certain time period the
effectiveness of ballistic missile defenses will grow. In that situation,
hypersonic weapons’ deployment is important. However, as of now, the
Hypersonic Glide Vehicles (HGVs) and Hypersonic Cruise Missiles (HCMs) are
solutions looking for a problem.

The U.S. Army Wants American companies to Make Ammo for Russian-Designed Weapons
*Michael Peck*
*Security, *
Why?
Why does the U.S. Army want American companies to make ammunition for
Russian-designed weapons?
For the same reason that U.S. Special Operations Command wants U.S.
companies to manufacture Russian-designed rifles and machine guns. Many
groups that the U.S. supports, such as in the Middle East, have been
accustomed to using Soviet and Russian weapons for years. The theory is
that rather than force them to switch to Western arms, it’s easier for the
U.S. to send them Russian weapons and ammunition made in America.

D-Day: The Story of How the Allies Planned To Destory the Nazi and Save Europe
*Daniel L. Davis*
*Security, *
The planning and preparation were intense.
Because war has become a routine and permanent part of life since 9/11,
Americans today have become immune to war and its costs. Because few in
America fight in these wars and even fewer see first hand the destruction

Seventy-five years ago this month, however, the cost of war and a healthy
fear of more were very much on every American’s mind: D-Day and the
Normandy landings began the process that would free a continent—but

Chinese Nuclear Armed Submarines in Russian Arctic Ports? It Could Happen.
*Lyle J. Goldstein*
*China, Asia-Pacific*
What once seemed completely farfetched has now evidently become a topic of
semi-serious discussion.
Many have speculated on the possibility of a Russia-China alliance. At a
forum in China not long ago, I distinctly remember a senior Chinese
specialist commenting: “The U.S. has many allies. China can also have
allies.” Yet the prevailing conventional wisdom among specialists is that
this is unlikely to occur. While keeping my mind open to various
possibilities, I myself have been quite skeptical. After all, how could
they really help one ... more »
Is the United States Baiting Iran into a War?

*Iran, Middle East*
The Trump team appears to have laid a trap for Iran, attempting to provoke
it into an action that crosses an administration red line.
The Middle East region and the American foreign-policy establishment are
breathing a collective sigh of relief, as President Donald Trump has dialed
back U.S. threats to Iran and undercut his administration's top hawks,
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Advisor John Bolton.
But while tensions in the Persian Gulf may appear to be getting lower as a
result, the likelihood of military exchanges b... more »
