Daily aggregation of various news articles for a broad range of interests.
I am not big on anniversaries. It’s not that I don’t care but for some reason remembering dates is hard for me and they usually have a tendency to sneak up on me. Thankfully social media helps in this regard but, unless it is in the immediacy of my house, I still
Trouble Brewing South of The Border?
My morning routine typically consists of getting the kids up, packing lunches, getting them off to school and trying to wind down with a podcast on my way to work. The podcasts vary, but I usually start my day with The President’s Daily Brief. It is a very good daily
Why Can’t We All Just Get Along? China Vs…Everyone Else, A 9000ft Level View
I don’t know about you, but my X-feed has been absolutely blown up the last few days with Chinese provocations in The East Sea, The West Philippine Sea, The North Natuna Sea… or, how about The Indochina Sea? I know that a relatively small segment of the world refers to the
What is that – and will I ever see one? China and Military Weapon Exports
Several months ago, as part of the continuing education program at the office, they began sending out ‘threat identification’ slides that focused on Chinese-made weapon systems. Naturally, I really liked them but as several weeks passed with bi-weekly updates, I had a
Daily Dump: China dominates the Caribbean, Their Own, and Redraws the Map
As we relaunch the website and our Daily Dump, our first stop will be China. For those familiar with how I used to do the daily dump this will be a bit of a change. Instead of linking to whole bunch of articles and only discussing two or three with a general theme, I am […]
Looking to the Past to Leverage Future Technology: Armed Overwatch
It has been a looong time since I have taken the time to write. Mostly because I have been busy with my actual job, side projects and a change to the kids’ school schedule, but honestly one of the biggest factors was the war in Ukraine. It caught me so off guard
Daily Dump: Resistance, Vultures and More – February 1, 2022
Resistance is the unifying theme of the day as it takes all forms in stories from around the world. We could consult the bible of Resistance from ARIS Studies but we will stick to the headlines. Did you know there was a breakaway province in Moldova? I didn’t but does it
Daily Dump: Spheres of Influence, Taiwan and the Greater Pacific, War and Disease, The Betrayal and More: January 21, 2022
Ukraine and Taiwan dominate the headlines today and their stories, rightly or wrongly, are being linked together but I agree with the basic premise of the War on the Rocks: Taiwan Is Not Ukraine: Stop Linking Their Fates Together. In the current geopolitical moment, the
Daily Dump: The Intersection of Terrorism,Good Governance and Great Power Competition, Not One Inch, Genocide, Citizen Resistance and More – January 24-26, 2022
It is not every day that the headlines are filled with articles that cover the intersection of Good Governance, Terrorism and Great Power Competition (actually it probably is) but for Today’s Daily Dump, that is where we will focus. To demonstrate the convergence of the
Daily Dump: An Outlier in Germany, France’s Vision, Turning Insurgents into Commandos, A Declining Birth Rate and More – January 20, 2021
A day late again. In my defense, I was watching a friend’s 2-year old and it has been a while. Once again, no unifying themes in our Daily Dump… Today we will discuss some of the stories that we would normally overlook. I know that, as far as the news goes, most are talking
