Andrew Strickland - Editor In Chief

Hello, welcome to our site. 2025 is off to big start with another 2 articles in our F-35 series. The first looks at the JAST program that eventually became the JSF program. The next one looks in detail at the Boeing X-32 contender. We also, FINALLY, continue our series on Quantum Mechanics in Military Affairs with a look at QM based Cryptography. We posted an earlier version, but it was a little confusing, we have now re factored it for clarity. So, if your interested, go to the QM NAV TAB. We also post our article on the possibility of QM Bio-Weapons. This is a truly nasty subject, but an interesting one. Its also under the QM TAB.

In addition, in this site update, we take a look at an important but under reported weapon system. That is the US Navy's USX-1 Defiant. To read the article, go to the Weapons TAB and navigate from there.

We are also launching our new series of Articles on Victory in Asia by Way of Europe. This series looks at how getting NATO right is one key to confronting China globally. The first Article declares the Grand Strategic Objective. To read the article, go to the NATO tab and navigate from there.

As we now approach the mid-year, we plan to finish out 2025 by completing our series on Quantum Mechanics and continue with our long F35 series into 2026. Near year end (after QM completion) we will launch our series on Artificial Intelligence and its strategic and military implications. Later in 2025 we will also launch a series of articles on "BlitzKrieg". What it is, what is it not, and what it means on todays battlefield. So the end of 2025 and the start of 2026 should be busy. Stay with us !

At a personal level I finally graduated from SMU and I am currently debating whether to get a job or go to Grad school. I posted more pictures in the ABOUT section. The last semester was rough and time consuming, so I hope we can now increase content on this website.

To recap 2024, Spring semester was quite quite busy and I spent spring break as a Focus Catholic Missionary in Lima Peru. We helped build stairs and retaining walls in the poor areas. It was a powerful experience. I also finished my summer 2024 University classes in Orvieto, Italy. Italy was awesome. Orvieto is a very ancient (as in Etruscan) and beautiful hill top town in Umbria. The wines and food of Umbria are great ! After classes finished, I stayed with my family that lives in the Val Baganza in Northern Italy. What great time!

In June 2024, Fernando Cieza, based in Lima Peru, joined our team as a translator. Our first spanish language content is NOW available. Our first translated article is on PLA Modernization.. Just check the espanol checkbox, and then click the Asia tab. Where you see spanish text click on it. More spanish translations on PLA modernization to follow. We hope to ramp up our spanish content as the year progresses.
