A new updated CRS report dated 5 August 2024 is out on the USS Ford debacle. I read these reports so you don't have to. For plenty of reasons, the carrier is the crossbow and chariot of the 21st century. Yet the US insists on spending tens of billions of dollars on...

Mali has severed its diplomatic ties with Ukraine following an attack by the local Al-Qaeda affiliate on Malian forces. Kiev called the move short-sighted. Late last month, opposition forces, including an al Qaeda affiliate in the Sahel, Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam...
The F35 Follies: Britannia Rules a Little
by Bill Buppert | Aug 6, 2024 | Blog
My recommendation to the British MoD: don't buy anymore of these flying failure factories. U.K. planned to buy138 F-35s, bought 48, delivered 35, aims at 75 by 2025. Judging from the delays and failures universally in the program, achieving a delivery of all...

From a reader: “Hello Joseph. I just ordered your book, and I noticed it was short. I would like to know if there is an up to date book on American foreign policy towards China that you could recommend that is well-researched and truthful with good policy suggestions....
Raptor Woes Continue to Plague the Air Force

The Kyle Anzalone Show [Guest] COL. Lawrence Wilkerson – Did Iran or Trump Cave?
The headlines move fast, but the stakes underneath them move faster. When political leaders say the Strait of Hormuz is “open” and diplomacy is “wrapping up,” we slow the tape and ask the only question that matters: who actually has leverage right now, and what price...

A ceasefire can be the start of peace, or it can be the quiet moment when both sides reload. That’s the question driving my return conversation with Professor Glenn Diesen as we dissect the US-Iran negotiations, the sudden focus on a short extension, and the strategic...
The Kyle Anzalone Show: US TROOPS ON THE MOVE + IS TRUMP RESTARTING THE WAR?!
U.S. troops are training for chemical and nuclear fallout while fresh forces and warships surge toward the Middle East, and I can’t shake the feeling that those “routine drills” are happening for a reason. We walk through what the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s...
Adam Smith and Equality of Force
It was 250 years ago that Adam Smith published The Wealth of Nations. In it, he looked back on the contact that various distant peoples had had with Europeans, following the discoveries of Christopher Colombus and Vasco de Gama. The results, by Smith’s time in 1776,...
