Glock's Pocket Cannon: Meet the Glock 30 Handgun (It's Fierce)

Kyle Mizokami at Test Feed Using Fields - 17 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Is it worth all the hype? Glock’s most powerful—and compact—handgun is a mix of old and new technology. The Glock 30 subcompact handgun merges the .45 ACP round, a product of the Industrial Revolution, with modern handgun technology. The result is a highly concealable firearm that, once drawn, has few equals. The .45 Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP) round was developed by prolific arms inventor John Moses Browning. The U.S. Army’s experience with the .38 Long Colt round during the Philippine Insurrection left it wanting a more powerful round able to neutr... more »

Why The F-15X Could Be a "Poor Man's F-35" (And Partner Up with the Stealth Jet)

Greg Archetto at Test Feed Using Fields - 17 hours ago
*Greg Archetto* *Security, * [image: Wikimedia Commons] Proponents of the F-35 fighter worry that any new F-15X procurement will create a future competition for resources with the previously requested F-35s. Unfortunately, this is bound to spark an unnecessary political battle. Necessity is the mother of invention. Such a truism applies to many areas, including warfare. The battlespace is ever-shifting. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) evolution from novelty to ubiquitous tool over the past twenty years stemmed from the realization that it was not cost-effective to use manned fig... more »

The Logic Of Annexation: Israel And The Golan Heights

Binoy KAMPMARK at OrientalReview.org - 19 hours ago
The Trump decision, similarly to its stance on East Jerusalem, tilts the head of US foreign policy away from the basic principles of peace and security embedded in the UN Charter, as weak a document as it has proven to be over the years. It will also further muddy the waters with the Assad regime, ever keen to restore order as the bloody civil war painstakingly comes to a close.

Slovakia is choosing its new president today. In the 2nd round, Ms Zuzana Čaputová (who got 40% in the first round, age 45) faces Mr Maroš Šefčovič (20% in the first round two weeks ago, 53 years). The lady will almost certainly win – something like 60% by 40% of voters (bookmakers have odds over 10-to-1). Up to recently, this female lawyer has been a top official in the Progressive Slovakia movement.

Qanon Adam Schiff Knowingly Committed Treason?

Radical plan to artificially cool Earth’s climate could be safe, study finds

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 20 hours ago
The only method put out there is spraying 'dust' into the atmosphere which is what chem trails are all about. I find this unconvincing simply because incoming radiation is converted sooner or later to infrared radiation in the atmosphere and can differ little from hitting the ground. It is a terrible idea anyway based on a false analysis pushed by political interests as fact. The big problem is that our human created deserts do release a lot of infrared energy back into space during the night. This already has caused our global environment to cool by around two degrees since t... more »

To lie like a cat in hot sun, fur fully blazing, and dream the mouse; and to keep too the mouse's patient, waking watch within the deep rooms of the house, where the leaf-flocked sunlight never reaches, but the earth still blooms.” - Jane Hirshfield
