No one believed Katrina would happen before Katrina happened. No one believed Fukushima would happen before Fukushima happened. Virtually no one believes a nuclear war will happen before it happens. But a nuclear war happening is not a disaster: it is a holocaust. Nuclear war must be averted, and mo... Read more
Despite economic uncertainty, global military spending has surged. Inflation, Russia’s war on Ukraine and US efforts to outpace China are major factors.
In the film Black Panther, Wakanda is cut off from the rest of the world by an energy barrier. Could something like this actually exist? In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Wakanda is a hidden African nation that is the most technologically advanced country on Earth. This is due in part to their isola... Read more
Joining the likes of NASA, weather intelligence company Tomorrow.io said Thursday its radar satellites have the unique ability to monitor precipitation intensity from space.
Agree. The Cold War produced new military alliances, including NATO and the Warsaw Pact, and led to nuclear proliferation and proxy wars between and within postcolonial states in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Without the threat of conflict, we wouldn’t have curbed our taste for weapons of mass destruction.
During World War II, despite mutual suspicion and distrust, the United States and Great Britain joined the Soviet Union in an effort to defeat their common enemy, Nazi Germany. The alliance began to crumble immediately after the surrender of the Hitler government in May 1945. Tensions were apparent... Read more

“Military conscription may affect both contemporaneous and future criminal behaviour through a number of channels. Contemporaneous crime may decrease if conscription incapacitates young men, i.e., if it keeps them engaged and isolated from society.” doh, you don’t say. Putting people in prison also reduces the crime rate.
Abstract. We study the causal effect of mandatory military conscription in Sweden on the criminal behaviour of men born in the 1970s. We find that military serv
President Joe Biden is looking at all policies put in place by Republican predecessor Donald Trump, with a view toward possibly rolling them back, but not so the U.S. Space Force.
Perhaps Asgardians should take a stand on this one now Trump has left the building. For those who don’t know. “Asgardia, also known as the Space Kingdom of Asgardia and “Asgardia the Space Nation”, is a micronation formed by a group of people who have launched a satellite into Earth orbit. They refer to themselves as “Asgardians” and they have given their satellite the name “Asgardia-1”.
Asgardia is a free borderless model of society, with knowledge, intelligence, science and the recognition of the ultimate value of each human life at its very core.
On the “Heritage Explains” podcast, Dean Cheng, a senior research fellow in Heritage’s Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy, helps break down if the United States needs a Space Force and what this new branch of the military would do.
The Outer Space Treaty bans the placement of weapons of mass destruction in space, and establishing military bases, testing weapons and conducting military manoeuvres on celestial bodies. This should be upheld throughout the galaxy.
How an international treaty signed 50 years ago became the backbone for space law
Fifty years ago today, the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom opened a treaty for signature that would become the backbone for international space law. It was a United...

Pie charts are circular graphs that display parts-of-a-whole. Pie Charts are great for comparing different categories. Be inspired with Infogram gallery and create a pie chart.
The world is not ready for a cyber war. A catastrophic attack might even return us to the dark ages.
An even more distressing reality is the fact that cyber attacks can trigger a full-blown nuclear war.
Cyberwarfare is already being waged in several ongoing conflicts.
It’s grim but very true, given that cyberspace has become the next front in global conflicts.
There are a few countries in the word without military power. Why shouldn’t the rest follow their example?

Militaries and wars don’t just kill people; they also cause devastating destruction to the environment.
Before eve discussing demilitarization, we should first end the insanity of owning and producing nuclear and chemical weapons.
The money spent on the world’s militaries could be put to other better uses, like feeding the hungry or investing in social infrastructure.
Boeing is testing a real-life force field defence system!
A force field system would be the perfect defense against any enemy attack.
Looks like you are talking about an energy barrier like the one in the Black Panther movie.
They should be made available to private citizens.
The rise of drone warfare makes it critical for military forces to develop anti-drone weapons.
How about using space radars to monitor climate change?
Deep space radar systems could save Earth from asteroid strikes.
Space-based radars can be vital for defending against long-range ballistic missiles, especially with the ever-increasing threat of nuclear warfare.

Space-based radar systems can offer more accurate tracking of moving military targets.

It was just good practice for China! (and the other modern dictatorships we must subdue).

The Cold War produced new military alliances, including NATO and the Warsaw Pact, and led to nuclear proliferation and proxy wars between and within postcolonial states in Latin America, Africa, and Asia.

Any invading species will likely have superior intelligence or weapons; thus, any defence would be futile!

Sadly, earth is not ready to defend against an alien invasion, especially with the way governments across the world are divided.
Investing in militaries has led to the creation of too many doomsday weapons.
Great, we are now training robots how to fight and kill human beings. What could go wrong?
Robots on the battlefield seem like a good idea until dictatorial regimes with poor human rights records start stockpiling them.

Military robots can shift the balance on battlefields and help save lives.

I don’t know who’s idea these places were but we likely will never know. And they are still being discovered today – with people in them
Only just watched a video about these places. I guess they still exist and are everything to those stuck inside (?)
See how they use them for spying – not actually reporting, so yes, journalism is the next job to be taken by bots.

Looks like President Biden has decided to stick with Space Force. Let’s see how it pans out I guess.
