How things change: when Israel fought its first war in 1948 after Britain pulled out, it relied on a raggle taggle militia. Britain had a million men under arms and the world's biggest navy. Israel now has a much bigger army with far more tanks, a better air force and perhaps as…

COVID origins: Why unfunded DEFUSE is the smoking gun. Opponents of the lab leak hypothesis often dismiss the 2018 DEFUSE proposal by saying, "But it wasn't funded!" This misses the point entirely:



If not for the NetZero policies of Germany, France, the Netherlands, the UK etc, we could have all the coal, oil, gas and nuclear energy to provide Hungary and ourselves with whatever is needed. But we made it impossible to build new nuclear power stations or frack for gas or…
