Vietnam Will Never Forget Its 1979 War With China
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * Vietnam has legitimate concerns about China's growing power. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The Sino-Vietnamese war is generally perceived in the West as humiliating for Chinese forces. Undeniably, the PLA sustained heavy casualties, took longer than it expected to achieve its objectives, and demonstrated the obsolesces of its equipment, doctrine and organization. However, it also inflicted greater casualties on a determined enemy benefiting from fortifications and favorable terrain. At 5 AM on February 17, 1979, a massive artillery bombardmen... more »
This Nazi Gun Helped Destroy 6,400 Allied Planes (In a Single Year)
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* Was Nazi Germany's 88mm anti-aircraft gun the deadliest "gun" of World War II? *Key Point*: The 88mm anti-aircraft gun was aptly described as “anti-everything.” The November 21, 1944, daylight flight of *Teddy’s Rough Riders* was anything but routine for American pilot Werner G. Göring, nephew of Nazi Reichsminister of Aviation Hermann Göring, and the other nine men on the ill-fated *B-17 Flying Fortress*. Before the day was over, the plane had flown some four hours eastward in an armada of 1,291 bombers to strike Leuna, a large chemi... more »

Sturmgewehr 44 Assault Rifle: How Nazi Germany Left Its Mark On Syria's Civil War
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Middle East* Despite its limited impact on World War II battlefields, the Sturmgewehr is already legendary for being the first successful, mass-produced “assault rifle.” *Here's What You Need To Remember: *For four years, the weapons were widely photographed and filmed in combat with Syrian rebel factions, including ISIS and Kurdish fighters, as you can see with this link. However, by 2017 the ammunition had become so scarce that the weapon’s black-market value in Syria collapsed and its appearances grew more infrequent. In 2012, rebels of the Free ... more »
This Nazi Gun Was the World's First Assault Rifle
*Warfare History Network* *History, * Meet the MP-44. *Key Point*: The MP-44 can still be found serving in many African and Middle Eastern armies and militias to this day. With the conflict in Iraq, combat photography is once again prevalent in the media, and it would be impossible to miss images of U.S. soldiers toting the omnipresent M4 weapons system. Based on the venerated M-16 assault rifle (now redubbed the M2), this “system” provides the infantryman with a versatile set of interchangeable assets, which augment his weapon’s mission—eliminating the enemy from the battlefiel... more »

Kamala Harris and Marco Rubio
The argument that Kamala Harris is ineligible for the vice-presidency because her parents were not citizens when she was born here would mean that Marco Rubio is also ineligible. Senator Rubio was born in Florida but his parents (who were from Cuba) were not American citizens at the time of his birth. During the 2016 campaign, however, Donald Trump never suggested that Senator Rubio was ineligible to be President.

A Downpour or a Drizzle: What Causes the Difference?
