If it is your time, love will track you down like a cruise missile.
- Lots of interesting stuff on early cruise missile development in this story of the Burya, a monster Soviet missile.
- Lots of stuff on negotiations with the Taliban, but the final decisions on this will fall upon the Biden administration.
- Did Al-Shabaab attempt to stage a 9/11 style attack? Plot seems to have been in a formative stage, and I have doubts regarding the organization’s ability to muster the resources.
- Following up on Erik’s post of the Soviet nuclear bomb footage, an interesting podcast on the cultural history of the Soviet bomb.
- Some thoughts on nuclear competition in South Asia…
- Space power ascendant? I have my doubts…
