Attention has indeed been (in the West) on violent occupation missions for a decade. By now, government violence below the threshold to conventional warfare has attracted more attention, and led to a...
There is a much cheaper way for this.
quoting myself:
We didn't "fail" them.
Their government rejected our (not terribly attractive) offer and no government ever joined "us" or our alliances.
You're projecting your expectations - expectations which...
Different printing technology.
Emission of infrared radiation (energy) due to firing rather than due to body heat.

I think Putin gave this up when he decided to take the Crimea and its voters. Maybe he already did so at the moment when Yakunovich fled, knowing that Y. was 100% corrupt and had discredited his...
Weapons aren't clothing.
The considerations are very different regarding weapons and munitions, so it's a very different topic.
The CIMSEC blog has theme weeks, which I think is a nice idea.
Imagine a theme month here at Council followed by the same theme months two months later in Blog and Journal.

He has put a secession of the Eastern Ukraine on the agenda - a very different situation than six months ago.
What he lost is the prospect of a Moscow-friendly government in Kiev.
The last two months haven't been normal in Germany regarding extremists and wackos in general. The strange behaviour of far left and far right in the Ukraine case is a sideshow compared to this.
The USMC ran the IAR program; it was apparently an attempt to get a reliable assault rifle under the disguise of a very light machinegun. So far they succeeded to buy at a few, but at least they now...
Compost, the U.S.Army runs small arms development programs.
It's not in the business of actually buying any small arms developed in these programs.
This is the same as with combat and recce...

Gangs also emulate the kind of hunter-gatherer clans that we used to be and that...
You seriously used the expression "bona fide" in the context of Tony Blair?
The man is a proved liar and warmonger.
The publication of intercepted phone calls appears to have become a very fashionable political tool. Cablegate may have lasting influence this way...
Dynamic IP addresses are standard in Germany and some other countries. Almost everyone here has a dynamic IP address unless one wants to run a private server.

Outlaw and others,
don't underestimate the power of ideology and narrative.
I've seen how quite normal Russia-friendly people turned 150% pro-Kremlin during the Ukraine crisis. This happens when...
