I Don't Care What The Betting Markets Say About November-- Except For The Biggest Betting Market Of All, Wall Street
Trump is the quintessential *après moi, le déluge* president. The last thing he'd ever think about is how anything will do in a post-Trump world.That helps explain why the *Wall Street Journal*'s Kate Davidson wrote a piece yesterday, U.S. Debt Is Set To Exceed Size Of The Economy Next Year, A First Since World War II. Much of the giant pre-pandemic run up was illegitimate spending-- tax cuts for the rich and immense waste-- and then came COVID. Like Japan and economic basket cases Italy and Greece, what that means is that just *federal* debt has reached or exceeded 100% of U.S. g... more »

Thursday Evening Links
This and that for your Thursday reading. - Harold Varmus and Rajiv Shah write that the CDC's willingness to parrot the Trump administration's desire for less COVID-19 testing is forcing states and other actors to take up the job of providing appropriate public health advice. And David Climenhaga points out the rightful frustration of Alberta parents and education workers who have been told that the social distancing rules applicable to every other building in the province will be ignored in schools - even as the U.S. sees soaring rates of infection among children. - Leilani Farha ... more »

Did President Trump Say Americans Who Died In War Are 'Losers' And ' Suckers'?
*The Atlantic: **Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’* The president has repeatedly disparaged the intelligence of service members, and asked that wounded veterans be kept out of military parades, multiple sources tell The Atlantic. When President Donald Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018, he blamed rain for the last-minute decision, saying that “the helicopter couldn’t fly” and that the Secret Service wouldn’t drive him there. Neither claim was true. Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair ... more »
South Korea’s Next-Generation Fighter Jet Is Rapidly Taking Shape

Recently released photos and video show the initial prototype of the KF-X next-generation indigenous fighter — which is being built by Korea Aerospace Industries, or KAI, in Sacheon — starting to take shape. KAI is also receiving assistance from Lockheed Martin on the project, which has an estimated total value of $7.4 billion, and is aiming to roll out the completed protot... more »

The Abrams vs. Israel's Merkava: Which Tank Would Win a Fight?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * [image: Reuters] Today we’ll compare the Merkava to the Abrams in terms of the three vital qualities of a tank: firepower, mobility, and armor. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *If the Merkava IV offers any lessons to the U.S. military, it should be regarding the importance of fielding effective countermeasures against more advanced anti-tank missiles. The Israeli *Merkava *(Chariot) main battle tank is an example of a sophisticated weapon system designed to deal with very specific national requirements. Though similar in performance to Western ... more »

How Will the F-35 Change American Air Strategy?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, World* [image: Reuters] The F-22 is a superb dogfighter. The F-35… not so much, though it has its defenders. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Ultimately, hit-and-run tactics leaning on BVR and stealth technology may be quite effective in securing air superiority. However, they won’t suffice to overcome constraints of fuel and weapons supply in scenarios that involve distant and more numerous opponents attacking high-value targets. In Len Deighton’s book *Fighter*, he describes the tactics used by the outnumbered English fighter pilots defending a... more »

The Su-35 vs. the F-35: Who Would Win in a Dogfight?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * [image: Reuters] The Su-35 is at least equal—if not superior—to the very best Western fourth-generation fighters. The big question, is how well can it perform against a fifth-generation stealth plane such as the F-22 or F-35? *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The maneuverability of the Su-35 makes it an unsurpassed dogfighter. However, future aerial clashes using the latest missiles (R-77s, Meteors, AIM-120s) could potentially take place over enormous ranges, while even short-range combat may involve all-aspect missiles like the AIM-9X and R-74 ... more »

Joe Biden and the Blakes
Why did Joe Biden go to Wisconsin and meet with Jacob Blake, an anti-Semitic follower of Louis Farrakhan, a man consumed with hate for the Jews? A man who hates Jesus and all white people and announces it publicly. He knew ahead of time who and what he was. Blake Sr. is the father of Jacob Blake, Jr., shot by police resisting arrest, who had been charged with sexual assault and stealing money and car of the woman he assaulted. Democrats have elevated him to a saint. Why does Biden say in his campaign ads Blacks are afraid to leave their homes, when for 8 years he with Barack Obama... more »
St. Gregory the Great
It's a good thing St. Gregory the Great didn't have social media. When he lived in a monastic community he didn't have as much trouble monitoring his speech as he did in his pastoral role. "I must frequently listen patiently to their aimless chatter. Because I am weak myself I am drawn gradually into idle talk and I find myself saying the kind of thing that I didn’t even care to listen to before. I enjoy lying back where I once was loath to stumble. Who am I — what kind of watchman am I? I do not stand on the pinnacle of achievement, I languish rather in the depths of my weakness."

China's New H-20 And JH-XX Stealth Bombers Were Made To Fight Different Wars
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * Why would PLA even order two types of stealth bombers? *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Unlike the H-20, the JH-XX’s high speed would make it viable for carrying air-to-air missiles, not only for self-defense, but for hit-and-run attacks on vulnerable support planes, or to rapidly intercept incoming bombers. While the JH-XX likely wouldn’t be optimized for short-range aerial dogfights against highly maneuverable fighters, its stealth, speed and large payload could still make it a deadly delivery platform for beyond-visual range air-to-air missil... more »
The Air Force Has A Crazy Plan To Decimate North Korea
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * These 5 air platforms would play a big role. In any conflict in the skies over North Korea, the U.S. Air Force will likely follow a familiar pattern. First, it will need to sweep the skies of enemy fighters—not a difficult prospect considering the decrepit state of the North Korean air force. Concurrent with that will be a campaign to shut down the country’s command and control and air defense systems, and finally a close air support and interdiction campaign designed to support friendly forces and locate and destroy enemy ground forces.

The LAV-25 can arrive by sea or air, and once on location it can quickly roll out to perform armed reconnaissance missions.

U.S. Government Will Begin Survey This Fall to Decide Whether to Add the Bumblebee to the Endangered Species List
It’s common knowledge that the bee population in the United States has struggled in recent years, in large part due to toxic, pesticide-intensive farming practices that show no signs of slowing. While the U.S. is buying organic food in increasingly larger amounts, the vast majority of all organic food purchased comes from other countries, leaving our own farmland to wallow in a sea of chemicals like glyphosate and its Roundup weed killer formulation, 2, 4-D, dicamba, and many others. An August 2019 study found that U.S. farmland is now almost 50 times more toxic to bees than befo... more »
