"Trump Rolls the Dice on Regime Change" (1) What a headline. Anybody else have this on their election day bingo card? Midterms should be a blood bath though, right? Right? (insert Anakin meme). 1. https://www.wsj.com&#x

Does the term landslide have a widely accepted definition? One definition could be winning every single swing state, which Trump did. I think you also have to factor in the degree of political polarization today, and in particular Trump&#x2

I think any such examination of a military that doesn't actually fight wars is meaningless. The question can only be really asked of a handful of countries.

Pedantry. The Department of War was responsible for naval affairs until The Department of the Navy was spun off from it in 1798, and aerial forces until the creation of the The Department of the Air Force in 1947, whereafter it was left wit

The question of whether or not the government should be able to use AI for targeting without the involvement of humans is a wartime question, since that is the only time the military should be killing people. Under such a scenario, requisit

All of these problems are downstream of the Congress having thoroughly abdicated its powers to the executive. The military should be reigned in at the legislative level, by constraining what it can and cannot do under law. Popular action is

Shouldn't the burden of proof belong to those that claim that regulation isn't the cost, when it is so extremely obvious to anybody who has ever had to build anything that it is? Just look at building costs in California vs Texas.

Yes, I think it's a generally rare occurrence to be confronted this way about one's belief in God in the US, having lived here most of my life. Perhaps the circumstances warrant it, but I think the statement that the nurse had &qu

I'm sorry, but the article seems to obscure a key fact, which is that she travelled to the US AFTER her initial visa was revoked. It seems dumb to travel to a country that has explicitly revoked your visa without being granted a new on
