2 December, 2020 * Sheldon Whitehouse’s Climate Inquisition continues* Senator Torquemada wants to jail those who dissent from his alarmist views on climate Paul Driessen Five years ago, I said Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) behaves like Torquemada, using Inquisition-like tactics to harass “manmade climate crisis” skeptics, and threatening to prosecute them for racketeering. Tomas de Torquemada was the Grand Inquisitor of the Spanish Inquisition that interrogated, tortured, imprisoned and executed thousands for religious heresy. The senator took great umbrage, and denounced ...
World War II Hell: The Desperate Struggle for Saipan
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia-Pacific* [image: Wikimedia Commons] News that Spruance had routed the Imperial Japanese Navy meant that 20,000 Japanese soldiers on Saipan were now trapped, with no hope for reinforcements or resupply. All they could do was exact a gruesome price for each yard they lost. On June 10, 1944, as his troop transport churned through the Pacific toward the Japanese-held island of Saipan, Pharmacist’s Mate First Class Stan Bowen wrote a letter to his sweetheart, Marge McCann. The letter would not be mailed until after Bowen and the Marines had alr...
"Bat Bombs" Could Have Incinerated Japanese Cities
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* [image: Wikimedia Commons] While this description sounds torn from the pages of a particularly far-fetched science fiction novel, it’s closer to reality than one might think. Imagine thousands of bats—silent, gray-furred, vigilant—huddled in the rafters of your home or office, each carrying a tiny device no larger than a thimble. Suddenly the devices explode, one after the other, engulfing everything in a ball of flame. In a matter of minutes, entire buildings are incinerated, leaving behind only scattered mounds of charred wood and piles...
Why Russia Says Su-34 is Practically a ‘Fifth-Generation’ Fighter Jet
Mark Episkopos, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Mark Episkopos* *Russia, * Designed primarily for medium-range ground attack missions under any weather conditions, the Su-34 boasts a prodigious and constantly-expanding armaments suite. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Moscow was, by all accounts, immensely pleased with the Su-34’s Syrian performance: as Russia’s Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov put it, "It [the Su-34] showed itself from the best side in the Syrian conflict and has an enormous modernization potential. It is practically a fifth-generation aircraft." The Sukhoi Su-34 (NATO reporting name Fullback) is amo...
Would the U.S. Really Sell F-35s to Saudi Arabia?
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Middle East* Israel certainly hopes not. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* While it is true that the Israeli Air Force operates the F-35I Adir, the specially-modified Israeli-only version of the Lockheed Martin aircraft, Saudi Arabia hasn’t been involved in open conflict with Israel since 1973’s Yom Kippur War. It isn’t exactly written in stone yet that the United Arabs Emirates will receive the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter—in part because Joe Biden’s foreign policy advisor, Tony Blinken, had suggested that the advanced aircr...

The Shovel, Michael West - 1 day ago

Australia against China: a face-off which must be avoided
Pearls and Irritations, Michael West - 1 day ago
It may be a statement of the bleeding obvious, but a face-off with the People’s Republic of China would not be a good idea. From any perspective – military, economic, political, simple weight of numbers – Australia cannot hope to compete on a level playing field with our dominant neighbour. And to pretend that somehow […]
Morrison’s selective attitude to human rights
Pearls and Irritations, Michael West - 1 day ago
Article 1 of the UN Charter declares objectives to promote and encourage respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion. But the Morrison government ignores the abuses of its friends, does not care about the ‘without distinction’ principle, and thereby undermines claims to champion […]
A bridge too far for Cormann?
Pearls and Irritations, Michael West - 1 day ago
For the OECD, improved world health is as important an outcome as an improved world economy. Managing that, or contributing to that debate, is not, as with climate change action, Cormann’s long suit. Credit – Wikipedia Mathias Cormann is not the sort of leader, chief executive, or economic thinker that the Organisation for Economic Cooperation […]
Natasha Kassam and the AFR have it wrong on China-Australia tensions
Pearls and Irritations, Michael West - 1 day ago
Australia is fast becoming a sad joke, an object lesson in how not to behave towards China. If we are becoming an example, it is an example of what to avoid. ‘According to lore, or perhaps mythology, a newspaper editor in the Antipodes warned the Kaiser in circa 1914 not to do something or other […]
Jeff Borland. New finding: boosting JobSeeker wouldn’t keep Australians away from paid work
Pearls and Irritations, Michael West - 1 day ago
Incentives, the Freakonomics author Steven Levitt once quipped, are the “cornerstone of modern life”. To this I would add: only if the incentive is big enough. In Australia at present there is considerable support for increasing the JobSeeker unemployment payment by a significant amount to make up for decades in which it has fallen relative to wages […]

THE “RULES-BASED ORDER” FOR SOLDIERS WHO KILL CIVILIANS – THE US RULE FOR JAPANESE; THE AUSTRALIAN RULE FOR AFGHANS; THE DUTCH RULE FOR RUSSIANS
Editor, Dances With Bears - 22 hours ago
by John Helmer, Moscow @bears_with It requires unusual degrees of self-confidence, political power, and lawlessness for the generals commanding the winning side in war to hold themselves innocent of the killing which the troops under their command committed against the losing side or suspected sympathisers.

Leonid SAVIN, OrientalReview.org - 22 hours ago
