Thanks to the .458 SOCOM, AR-15s are Getting Thicker Bullets
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 37 minutes ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Technology, * .458 SOCOM was developed in 2000 as an upgrade for the standard M4/M16/AR-15 family of rifles. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The development of .458 SOCOM represents some of the best recent innovation in firearms, allowing millions of existing AR-15-type rifles to switch to a higher caliber by substituting just two of scores of parts. The sheer number of AR-15 rifles in the wild will probably keep .458 SOCOM a viable option for gun owners for years to come. One of the more interesting—and powerful—upgrades for the standard AR-15 rifle is an ...
Was This America’s Best Hope to Survive Nuclear Armageddon?
Zachary Keck, The National Interest - 37 minutes ago
*Zachary Keck* *Security, * Civil defense was one idea to make the strategy work. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *This led Washington to build elaborate shelters for the president and other parts of the executive branch, members of Congress, the Supreme Court, as well as take other steps to beef up command and control measures. All of these measures were necessary to enhance the credibility of America’s strategic deterrent, which ultimately prevented the civil defense plans from being needed at all. America emerged from World War II as the most powerful nation on earth. Not ...

Rob Reiner Lives Up to his "Meathead" Moniker
Diogenes Sarcastica™, Diogenes' Middle Finger - 2 hours ago
The only thing liberal in Hollywood these days are their liberal fantasies of being political science/ constitutional law experts, and goofy ideas of what the constitution actually says. Knowledge that sounds mostly gathered from tweeter post and late night television. One such expert, Rob Reiner, who regularly channels his inner Michael Stivic, took to the tweeter to attack Republican who are planning on challenging the electoral college results. Every Senator and Congressperson who votes to overturn the election will be committing an act of Sedition and Treason. Their names will...

Could Russia Have Won the Cold War?
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 2 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *History, Eurasia* If the American system had proven less resilient to economic and social pressures, then the United States might have had to give up on the Cold War. During the 1960s, this looked distinctly possible. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The reality of the failures of state planning make such an outcome unlikely. In a different world, where governments were more efficient at making decision for their citizens ... perhaps. Could the Soviets have won the Cold War?

Japan has decided to refit its Izumo-class light carriers to operate the F-35B stealth fighter. So modified, the Izumos will carry about a dozen F-35Bs each, giving the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force a small but significant aviation combat capability. The question now is “what comes next?” *Japan and China* In 2006, Japan laid down the first of two fourteen-thousand-ton Hyuga-class helicopter d...
Israel’s Nuclear Submarines are Netanyahu’s Ace in the Hole
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 2 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * The most survivable arm of the nuclear triad is typically the sea-based one. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Having three submarines in operation generally means at least one is at sea at any particular time, a necessity for a sea-based nuclear deterrent. The Dolphin class reportedly carries up to sixteen torpedoes and missiles; if the submarines’ primary task is nuclear deterrence, half of its weapons space might be allocated for carrying nukes. The result is that at any given time Tehran is likely in the nuclear crosshairs of an Israeli submarin...

However, some of them are very controversial. Since their invention in the tenth century, engineers, soldiers and tinkerers have constantly tried to make firearms more deadly. Typically that involves moving to heavier bullets driven by more powerful gunpowders, and while that is effective i...

*"Reality Avoidance"* by Morris Berman "It’s quite amazing how the news is endlessly about race, or gender, or very little that has anything to do with reality, which the Mainstream Media and the American people avoid like the plague. What then is real? 1. The empire is in decline; every day, life here gets a little bit worse; all our institutions are corrupt to varying degrees; and there is no turning this situation around. 2. A crucial factor in this decline and irreversibility is the low level of intelligence of the American people. Americans are not only dumb; they are positiv...

*"Music and Moonlight"* "We are the music makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone seabreakers, And sitting by desolate streams; World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams: Yet we are the movers and shakers Of the world forever, it seems… We, in the ages lying In the buried past of the earth, Built Ninevah with our sighing, And Babel itself in our mirth; And o’erthrew them with prophesying To the old of the new world’s worth; For each age is a dream that is dying, Or one that is coming to birth." - Arthur O’Shaughnessy
