2020: The Year we Sold Our Liberties For a Medical Tyranny
Rob Slane, null - 21 hours ago
This is the third of five end-of-year articles looking at various aspects of our new Covidian State in 2020 (Parts 1 and 2 here and here). These pieces are also due to be published on the excellent Conservative Woman website from 27-31 December. This year has seen what looks like the birth of a new religion. Let us call it Covidianity. It has its Prophets (eg. Neil Ferguson); its Priesthood of experts (eg. Whitty and Vallance); its own Soteriology (eg. The Vaccine of Salvation); its evangelists (eg. Piers Morgan); its own eschatology (eg. The New Normal); and of course its heretics ...
True gratitude is a communal emotion, not a wellness practice
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
I have never given much thought to gratitude, not least because I had scant reason to express it other than taking it for granted as with my parents. Yet it is certainly part of most religious training and has now sprung back to life as something everybody expresses even if insincere. So i have observed a shift in language and sensibility. That is neat. We can all go about making up gratitude lists. I have always taken it for granted that everyone will do the right thing. Now I will remember to be grateful as well. *True gratitude is a communal emotion, not a wellness pract...

The Story of India's Disappointing Marut Jet Fighter
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * The HF-24 began to be phased out of Indian squadrons in the 1980s, with the last aircraft being retired from 31 Squadron in 1990. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Poor planning and lack of direction can cripple even the most promising project. Fifty years ago, India brought into service its first domestically built jet fighter, the HF-24 Marut—indeed, the first operational jet fighter designed and produced by an Asian country besides Russia. Unfortunately, the HF-24 project was hampered by over ambitious goals, poor government oversight and underpo...
Why Did Imperial Japan Have Such A Terrible Submarine Fleet?

Who Makes the Best M1911 Pistol? It Might Be Sig Sauer
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, World* [image: Wikimedia Commons] In the light of recent snarky social media commentary by Heckler and Koch as to why they didn’t put out their own version of the 1911, it might be worth examining Sig Sauer 1911. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The GSR pistol is considered to be superb - although it's worth noting that Sig Sauer does not make all the parts for it themselves. As Sig Sauer, Inc. established itself as a truly American company distinct from its German counterpart Sig Sauer, GmbH, one of the first products it rolled out was its take on th...
Does North Korea Have a Social-Distancing Problem?
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *Security, Asia* North Korean authorities have reportedly issued what’s described as an emergency order to enforce social distancing in workplaces. It might not be easy to enforce. How, exactly, is North Korea coping with the coronavirus pandemic? Like most things in that country, it’s hard to know. North Korea claimed, at least for a time, to have no coronavirus cases, despite sharing a border with China. Reports more recently have claimed that North Korea has in fact been hit hard by the pandemic, in a way that has affected everything from military readiness t...
More than Just the AK-47: Kalashnikov Has Been in the Game for 200 Years
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, * The history of Russia's classic gun maker is more complex than you'd expect. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *While Mikhail Kalashnikov actually worked at the Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant, he and his estate actually have no ties to the company. Perhaps the most surprising fact about the company that is known today as the JSC Kalashnikov Concern was that it was actually founded not by gun maker Mikhail Kalashnikov, the gun designer who created the infamous AK-47. Rather the company was actually founded in 1807 by Tsar Alexander I of Russia! Techni...
Need to Stop an Aircraft Carrier? Take Out the Toilets
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Americas* The problem was first brought to light on a blog written by a “Navy Mom” whose son served on the carrier. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *According to reports from the *Washington Post*, sailors had to resort to urinating in showers or into the industrial sinks at their work stations. Some of the male sailors also resorted to using bottles and emptying the contents over the side, while female sailors were holding it for so long that some developed health problems. Waste in the military has long been a problem—but in the case of the U.S. Nav...
Meet the SVCh: Russia's Newest Sniper Rifle
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Eurasia* [image: Wikimedia Commons] The SVCh is thoroughly modern compared to the SVD. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The gun is similar in many ways to the SVD, but contains a few upgrades - most importantly a rail on which modern sights can be mounted. In November 2019, Kalashnikov Concern announced that they would begin serial production of the Snaiperskaya Vintovka Chuvakin (SVCh) sniper rifle in 2020, finalizing it as an official replacement for the SVD more than 50 years after it entered service.

What Saddam Hussein's Scud Missiles Tell Us About a War With North Korea
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* U.S. forces might not be able to take out those missiles, after all. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Opponents intent on using hit-and-run tactics are difficult to hunt down. While assembling the coalition that would eject Iraqi forces from Kuwait in 1990–1991, one thing American military planners *weren’t *worried about was Iraq’s Scud-B tactical ballistic missiles. True, Iraq had flung hundreds of the Soviet-designed missiles at Iranian cities during the Iran-Iraq war. But the weapons were derived from Nazi V-2 rockets dating back to World Wa...
Could the DDG-1000 Zumwalt Destroyer Become a Stealth Battleship?
