Trump Told Military Leaders He Wanted Ten Times More Nukes Than The U.S . Has — REPORT Story by bustle.com Nuclear nonproliferation has been the stated goal of every president since Ronald Reagan. That's 37 years of uninterrupted American policy, a strategy older than President Trump's adult children. And yet, according to an NBC News report, in a July meeting at the Pentagon,  Trump expressed his desire to build up the U.S . nuclear arsenal to almost ten times its current size. Some have pointed out that it was Trump's stunning request that prompted Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to dub the president a "moron," a comment that reportedly followed this very same meeting. Military officials were briefing Trump on the trajectory of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile, and reportedly showed the president a slide pictorially demonstrating the number of said weapons declining. Officials relayed to NBC News that it was then that Trump jumped in and voiced his desire...

Story by nationalinterest.org News flash: Space is a separate domain and not an extension of the air domain. In recent days, both the House and Senate have approved different versions of the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act. With regard to defense/military space governance, there is a huge difference in how the two chambers view the solution. The House proposed the establishment of a new branch of military service, the U.S. Space Corps, to be aligned under the Department of the Air Force. The Senate, however, calls for the establishment of a new Chief of Information Warfare Officer for Cyber Security/Warfare, Space and Space Launch Systems, Electronic Warfare within the Department of Defense (DoD) and prohibits any funding for the proposed Space Corps. Earlier this month, my perspectives on this topic were  shared in an essay  questioning if space is the last national security frontier. In short, the creation of a U.S. Space Corps, while a realignment of the U.S. Ai...

McDonald's Just Started Selling a Burger That Might Signal the End of the World As We Know It msn.com © Getty Images It's come to this. Please lie here on my purple chaise-longue and let's play word association. When I say "McDonald's," what's the first word that comes into your head? Beef. Fries. Quarter Pounder. Big Mac. Unhealthy. Stop, stop. I just asked for  one  word. Still, my expert analysis tells me that there was one word that never entered your head. Please let me tell you, then...no, wait, here's a glass of fine Napa Sauvignon Blanc. Ready? McDonald's just launched a Vegan Burger. Breathe. Don't look down yet. (There's a picture of it there, but don't think about that now.) The new vegan burger is imaginatively called the McVegan. The patty is soy-based and the rest of it is, well, what you'd expect. Now I know this is a little bit of a shock for you. An even greater shock, perhaps, than when McDonal...

Russia issues an alarming warning about North Korea’s plans to strike the West Coast whio.com This picture taken on September 3, 2017 and released by North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on September 4, 2017 shows North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un (STR/AFP/Getty Images) STR/AFP/Getty Images — A member of the Russian lower house of parliament’s international affairs committee who recently visited Pyongyang, North Korea, claimed Friday that Kim Jong-un has plans of proving the rogue state can hit the West Coast of the United States with a missile in its arsenal. According to Reuters , Anton Morozov and two other Russian lawmakers visited from Oct. 2-6 and Morozov says that North Korea gave them “mathematical calculations that they believe prove that their missile can hit the west coast of the United States.” He described North Korea’s mood as “belligerent.” “They are preparing for new tests of a long-range miss...

From thesun.co.uk NORTH Korea could wipe out four million people within MINUTES of launching a nuclear strike, shock research has found. A new report says Kim Jong-Un's deadly nuke arsenal has the ability to wreak apocalyptic havoc on neighbours South Korea and Japan. North Korea says it is capable of launching nuclear warheads on its intercontinental ballistic missiles The analysis by North Korea monitoring group  38 North  assessed potential scenarios that could play out if war-hungry Kim acts on his threats to destroy his Western enemies. A worst case situation is based on the assumption that Kim has amassed 25 nukes with a strength of 15 kilotons, the same as the Hiroshima bomb dropped by the United States at the end of WW2. If just a few of these made it through defences to detonate over Seoul or Tokyo, the potential devastation would be catastrophic. "Multiple nuclear weapon detonations on both Seoul and Tokyo based on the current North Korea yield estimates...

I drove the fastest car in the world...and it ruined me Post from cnbc.com It's easy to gush about a car that's the fastest and most powerful production car on the planet.The Bugatti Chiron is also the most expensive: around $3 million.This car has 1,479 horsepower coming from a 16-cylinder quad-turbocharged monster of an engine. The new Bugatti Chiron should have a large red warning light in the center of the steering wheel. It wouldn't be an alert for speed — though the Chiron will no doubt prove it's the fastest production car on the planet in upcoming speed tests, likely topping 270 mph. And it wouldn't be an alert for braking or skidding or loss of control, because the new Chiron's braking and steering systems are so beautifully engineered and intelligent, owed to its electronic algorithms, that the car always holds the road with supreme confidence. No — the alert on the Chiron would read "spoil." As in, once you sit behind the wheel of Bug...

Why North Korea Should Fear South Korea's Air Force Post From nationalinterest.org After a large army, the second most important arm of the Republic of Korea Armed Forces has historically been the country’s air force. The Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) is the most powerful air force on the Korean Peninsula, with a capability far greater than its northern rival, providing air cover and support to ground forces defending south of the thirty-eighth parallel. Recently, the air force has taken on a new task as Seoul shapes a conventional force to deter North Korea’s nuclear weapons. South Korea had little to no air force to speak of during the Korean War, but afterward the country was trained and equipped to a high standard. In any North/South rematch the ROKAF could count on facing off against a Korean People’s Army Air Force trained by North Korea’s patrons, equipped with some of the latest communist bloc fighter jets. As part of the postwar air force build...
