“We need accountability”: Nova Scotia has set ambitious climate change goals, but concrete action is elusiveThis reminds me of a Shakespearian play : " Much Ado About Nothing"It’s the last day of 2021 – an excellent time to consider how well Nova Scotia applied the brakes on the pace of climate change. But answers to related questions remain elusive amid shifting “goals” and “benchmarks,” while concrete actions that would underscore the urgency to keep the Earth’s temperature from rising more than 1.5 […] read more

A year of Bungled BidenismWashington Examiner: The year now ending should have been one of the easiest ever for a U.S. president. It was a time of international peace and economic recovery. The southern border was secure. With three vaccines in hand, all President Joe Biden had to do was sit back and follow former President Donald Trump’s vaccination program, end the mask mandates, and let the economy bounce back from a government lockdown-created recession. But Biden couldn’t leave well enough alone. Tempted by the siren’s song of left-wing historians whispering in his ear that he could be “the next FDR... read more

Bleeding Combat Strength: Why and How India Plans to Upgrade Its Air Force*Sebastien Roblin* *India, Asia* U.S. officials have refused to back down from threats to level CAATSA sanctions on India for the deal. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *But when the same official tells The Diplomat that there is “no blanket application” of CAATSA sanctions, one can sense the threat may have no teeth due to Washington’s eagerness to court Indian support in strategic competition with China.

To very little fanfare, on November 28, 2021, the World Health Organization announced that a Special Session of the World Health Assembly had begun the process of establishing an intergovernmental body also known as an INB with the goal of addressing the gaps in preventing, preparing for and responding to health emergencies.

Being based well inland, it wouldn’t be exposed to the same extent to the threats that our northern bases or offshore airbases are faced with.

Even with Upgrades, Chinese J-15 are No Match for American Fighters*Kris Osborn* *J-15, China* At best, an upgraded Chinese J-15 might rival an American carrier-launched F/A-18 Super Hornet. However, the J-15 is likely unable to compete with a U.S. carrier-launched F-35C or F-35B. A Chinese government-backed newspaper, citing Chinese website eastday.com, has reported that the People’s Liberation Army Navy has upgraded its carrier-launched J-15 fighter. The J-15 has a new wing configuration, wingtip missile pylons, radar, and an infrared search and track system. The upgrades do not seem especially remarkable, however.

NATO’s cognitive warfare and the destruction of the truthHistory is constrained by a series of laws. Empires fall, productive forces become obsolete after society gets ready to outgrow them, inequalities destroy societies when they get too big, the environment turns against civilizations when it’s abused too much, and so on. These principles conflict with the ideology of the capitalist ruling class, especially in the imperialist countries. And this contradiction grows bigger as capitalism’s crises intensify. So the ruling class within these countries is engineering methods for waging a cognitive war against its internal population. read more
