    Large Group Of Armed Militia Members Take Over Federal Building

    Ekk! No insulation, well that makes sense, an expensive retrofit too... I guess, it might not be possible either. I'm used to cold, but my husband isn't. Ok, so if I was looking in Northern Virginia, with a house around 5000 sq feet, brick - no build date - and if the house never had any down...

    Large Group Of Armed Militia Members Take Over Federal Building

    There does seem to be an aversion to calling domestic terrorism incidents "terrorism" though, even they meet the qualifications. Blame the media for this phenomenon. Still, many incidents, perpetrated by white individuals, have been correctly described as terrorism. Oklahoma City Bombing...

    Turkey limits defense sales to India to appease Pakistan

    I know, how rude of the US not to sell submarines that India didn't ask for and the US doesn't export. Such bad manners from the US that it doesn't ignore its own export laws: The United States does not export nuclear-powered submarines nor does it operate, produce, or export diesel-powered...

    What twin engine Jet Fighter Suits PAF Doctrine?

    It's not going to be a twin-engine platform though. The end result will look a lot like this demonstrator from Linköping University: If it's built it will be a more stealthy version of the JAS 39, not a radically new airframe... if it's built. Budget problems have been an issue: If...

    Europe’s Problem of Rape Against Women

    @SvenSvensonov had a good answer in regards to Sweden and its high rape statistics - in particular to this quote: That's not incorrect, but it's not entirely true either. Yes, Sweden does have the highest reported number of rapes... BUT, its definition of rape is more stringent too. For most...

    MOST POWERFUL FRIGATES IN THE WORLD

    The list needs more Nansen. An up-gunned LCS will become the USN's future frigate, but right now they don't have a true FFG. In 2016, the existing LCS's are to be armed with an OTH missile, likely the Norwegian NSM, as seen here fired from USS Coronado: The littoral combat ship is...
