They still deserve a token prize for trying though. It’s not their fault they joined the race as everyone changed over to making business rather than making war.
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

Comedy has long been the medium of choice for people to broach otherwise taboo or polarizing topics. Viral comedy sketch “I Want to Quit ISIS” creator Priyank Mathur thinks it’s time to employ comedy to fight terror — and international groups are taking notice.
The way to beat al Qaeda and stop Islamist groups gaining recruits to violent causes is to remove their “cool” image and make fun of terrorists instead, according to a major international study published on Friday.

“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.

Fear is purely a survival mode; some may defend it as survival instinct. But we didn't come here to survive. Survival isn't good enough. We came here to live and to live fully. All else is a degradation of our own worthiness and defamation towards life itself.

The phrase was taken, I believe from the bible. “a statement which derives from John 8:32 and which Jesus Christ addressed to a group of Jews who believed in him.”

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.
Like them or not, would you prefer China to rule the world?

We don’t fight our own wars, we fight “other people’s” wars, to benefit ourselves – there’s a big difference, apparently.
They still deserve a token prize for trying though. It’s not their fault they joined the race as everyone changed over to making business rather than making war.
It was just good practice for China! (and the other modern dictatorships we must subdue).
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.
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.
