Why America's Nuclear Attack Defense Must Evolve
*Bill Gortney* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] U.S. security is at stake. *Key point:* Washington needs to keep changing and improving its defenses against a nuclear attack. The world's nuclear arsenal is growing ever larger, and with real threats of attack from a rogue nation on our homeland, it's not the right time to let down our guard on missile defense capability. The current Administration has wisely and consistently requested increased budgets for Department of Defense spending to maintain the missile defense systems we currently have deployed as well as bolster new... more »
The Superiority of the M-1 Garand Rifle Is Not To Be Questioned
*Paul Richard Huard* *Security, * [image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1_Garand#/media/File:En-JohnGarandLarge.jpeg] On the battlefield, it was unstoppable. *Key point:* The most important word for the M-1 Garand is "reliability." Gen. George Patton, the renowned World War II commander who possessed a sizable ego, called the M-1 Garand rifle “the greatest battle implement ever devised.” Some might be surprised that the self-promoting Patton did not consider *himself* the greatest battle implement ever devised. But Patton knew a thing or two about killing – and he knew that i... more »
How an Armed Conflict Between China and Taiwan Would Take Shape
*J. Michael Cole* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Not good. *Key point:* Beijing has many options to achieve its strategic objectives in Taiwan. A consensus seems to have developed among a large number of defense analysts in recent years arguing that despite the balance of power having shifted in China’s favor, Beijing has no intention to use its military to *invade Taiwan* and thus resolve the Taiwan “question” once and for all. Doing so would be too costly, some argue, while others contend that Beijing can accomplish unification by creating enough economic dependence and in... more »
The Army Is Changing, But There Is A Reason Why The M4 Carbine Is Staying
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * It's just that good. *Key point: *All things considered, the M4 is a very good compromise weapon. The U.S. Army is an armed force with a truly global reach. At any given time, America’s premier land power operates on several different continents simultaneously, from hot, dry deserts to humid jungles and sprawling cities. Its infantrymen carry a weapon whose lineage dates back to Vietnam but which has been constantly improved to become the weapon it is today. Rugged, simple and accurate, the M4 carbine is the standard infantry weapon of not just the A... more »

Who Votes Against The Voting Rights Act? Racists And Only Racists

"Get Ready For An Economic Wake-Up Call This Holiday Season"
*"Get Ready For An Economic Wake-Up Call This Holiday Season"* by Brandon Smith "If we are to measure the concept of “economic recovery” in real terms, then we would have to look at the fundamentals (not stock markets) and whether or not they’re improving. Unfortunately, not all economic data is presented to the public honestly. Very often it is mired and obscured in a fog of disinformation and false standards. I would point out, though, that there is relatively accurate information out there in certain areas of the global economy, and it tells us our economic structure is destabil... more »

Why the Hand-Held DX-12 "Punisher" Shotgun Is a Bad Idea
*Charlie Gao* *Technology, Americas* [image: https://www.moth3r.com/projects/dx12/#Slide%2003] Very dangerous to the user. *Key point: *In its current iteration, the design for the DX-12 is actually a problem for the shooter. A render of a double-barrel shotgun by “HARDWAR3 INDUSTRIES” got some attention last year due to its futuristic design and boxy shape, which some say resembles the ubiquitous Glock pistols. But unlike the pistols it has been compared to, the “Punisher DX-12” has a ton of questionable design decisions and ergonomic quirks that would make it a danger to the s... more »

Is Russia's New Anti-Tank Weapon Aimed at the Army's M1 Abrams?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Europe* Maybe, but Russia has its own problem. *Key point:* The new anti-tank shells might not even fit their current tanks. The Soviet Union’s huge tank fleet was a cornerstone of its power during the Cold War. However, events in the 1991 Gulf War called its superiority into question. On February 26, 1991, a cavalry troop of nine M1 Abrams tanks and twelve Bradley fighting vehicles bumped into an armored brigade of Iraqi T-72 tanks of the elite Tawakalna Republican Guard division. Within twenty-three minutes of frenzied firing, the troop destroyed... more »

Libertarianism is Anti-libertarian
Libertarianism is anti-libertarian. The libertarian call for a free society and global free markets is so disconnected from reality that it makes the masses think that libertarianism is a utopian ideal which will wreak havoc on their way of life. Most libertarians in the last 100 years have been motivated by good intentions; they have produced fine work on free society, free markets, and moral theory. But their overall impact on society is negative. Instead of attracting the people (non-libertarians) to their cause, the libertarian soteriology makes people suspicious of libertariani... more »

Was the M2 Carbine America's First (And Best) Assault Rifle?
*Sebastien Roblin* *History, Americas* Is a carbine a rifle? *Key Point:* The M2 tried to play two roles at once—an assault rifle and a carbine. Germany is generally credited with developing the first assault rifle with the MP-43, which entered service with select units towards the end of 1943. Later renamed the Sturmgewehr 44—literally “assault rifle 44”—this used an intermediate-strength *kurz* cartridge that balanced the long-range accuracy of heavy, slow-firing bolt-action rifles then prevalent with the automatic-fire capability of submachine guns, which were deadlier at clo... more »

*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* But they weren't enough. During Germany’s early string of victories between 1939 and 1941, Hitler informed the members of the nation’s aerospace industry that he had decided to impose new restrictions on aircraft research and development. However, by 1942 the Führer and his Air Force High Command (Oberkommando der Luftwaffe) had recognized their mistake. With the increasing weakness in the fighter arm, Hitler saw that his old faithful aircraft like the Messerschmitt Me-109 were losing ground to the new Allied long-range fighters, such ... more »

Jonathan Turley, a George Washington University law professor, cautioned House lawmakers on Dec. 4 against impeaching President Donald Trump.
