Experts' views have led to many scouring the online markets for WW2 incendiary munitions and even the archaic but (reportedly) effective RPO launchers and their 'bobcat' napalm grenades used in the 'Nam. Soviet era flame throwers too are being sought by private collectors, the majority of orders placed out of ...

Rank speculation here. China was recently humiliated by Trump and had to sign a trade deal. What if they leaked this virus in retaliation, knowing that it would tank the world economy? From their standpoint, why not? They could lose 100,000,000 people and never notice.

It would be a pyrrhic victory — China’s economy is a good deal less stable than America’s, and it would be seen domestically as the Communists having lost the mandate of heaven.
There is enough information out there to make this an accidental release of a biological weapon
There is nothing about this virus that is naturally occurring
[Jpost] The fact that the ties between Paleostinian civil society groups and terrorist organizations have significantly deepened over the years should alarm anyone.
A tactic made famous by Yasser Arafat, Paleostinian leaders have a long and rich history of saying one thing to Western audiences, and another thing entirely to their own Paleostinian audience. If recent reports are any indicator, that tradition has expanded to Paleostinian NGOs, which are receiving hundreds of millions of dollars from the EU and Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... an governments. The recent reports from the Israel’s Ministry of Strategic Affairs paint an alarming picture of how terrorist organizations like the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine (PFLP) are actively and intentionally using Paleostinian NGOs to collect funds and promote goals of internationally recognized terrorist groups.

[ForeignPolicy] The United States faces an increasingly urgent set of first-order policy questions in Iraq. Spoiler alert: The answer is not Mohammed Tawfiq Allawi, Iraq’s newly designated prime minister. A popular uprising might be.
Allawi’s recent nomination to be Iraq’s next leader is a dead end, for Iraq and the United States alike. He has no chance of resolving the two fundamental crises now plaguing the country: first, the collapse of legitimacy of Iraq’s post-2003 political class, and second, Iraq’s ever-expanding subjugation by Iran and its local Shiite Islamist proxies. The United States would be well advised to keep its distance from Allawi’s candidacy and instead focus its energies on supporting the extraordinary protest movement that has upended Iraq’s politics since late last year, and whose demands for sovereignty, independence, and clean government represent the last best hope for salvaging not just Iraq, but the future of U.S.-Iraqi relations as well. Gosh, if only every analyst said that overthrowing Saddam would hand the country to Iran. OH WAIT THEY ALL DID.
No, they all didn’t. A few did, and a few recommended doing absolutely nothing after 9/11 lest those who already hated us might... hate us. It’s all in the explorable Rantburg archives.
It was the most likely outcome. Now that it's happened, they want to repeat their disastrous regime change that caused the problems in the first place? Continued on Page 49

Any different from our domestic policy 'elites' that have been trying to execute regime change here at home? /rhet question
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
