ANALYSIS – It is telling when even establishment news venues are criticizing Joe Biden’s foreign policy in time of war. It also says a lot about how this war has taken some odd partisan turns, with most Democrats seemingly in favor of tougher action against Russia, and some Republicans pushing for a more measured response. (RELATED: Most Democrats Would Flee Rather Than Fight if US Was Invaded – Some Republicans Would Join Them) In this case I’m with those pushing Biden to do more. *Message to wavering, soft, or pro-Putin Republicans: how the U.S., and the West, acts now will decide…

As part of its renewed missile testing under the Biden presidency, North Korea test-fired its largest intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) to date for the first time on Thursday. This ‘monster missile’ can potentially drop several nuclear warheads on any city or target in the United States. This was the first full ICBM test by nuclear-armed North Korea since 2017. North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un, said it was designed to demonstrate the might of its nuclear force and deter any U.S. military moves. North Korea’s return to major weapons tests poses a direct challenge to President Biden as he responds to…

ANALYSIS – I recently wrote about U.S. defense experts decrying the Biden Pentagon’s push for gender bending pronouns and other transgender indoctrination of our military, and its impact on its effectiveness. This is in addition to the barrage of anti-white racial indoctrination being imposed under the divisive ‘diversity and inclusion’ mantra. Please see prior ADN reports on Team Biden pushing Critical Race Theory (CRT) at DoD here, here, here and here. But the Left’s ‘War on Straight White Folks’ isn’t just at DoD, it’s extending down to our schools, as LGBTQ indoctrination of our children is in full swing. Often this is done under the guise…
ANALYSIS – In one of its custom newsletters, The New York Times just published a piece highlighting America’s continuing crime wave, and the liberal paper of record is at a loss to explain it. Murders, in particular, are on a tear — now at the highest point over two decades. The story A violent weekend highlights America’s continuing crime wave by David Leonhardt, goes through every liberal excuse it can but still can’t tell us why crime has exploded in the U.S. since about 2020. So, delving as deep as he can into sociological psychobabble (can we say ‘anomie?’), Leonghardt ends…
ANALYSIS – No, it’s not a surprise. As Phelim Kine at Politico’s China Watch newsletters points out: “The Biden administration’s efforts to enlist Chinese government support to isolate and punish Russia for its Ukraine invasion have hit a brick wall.” Sadly, this is par for the course with President Biden’s visibly bumbling ineptitude and his NatSec teams’ general weakness toward U.S. adversaries. And it doesn’t portend well for his flailing China policy. (RELATED: Russian Military Ignore Calls From Milley and Austin) Kine notes that China is keeping up its full-scale collusion with Russia and is rejecting any serious role in engaging with their…

Despite the vaunted Russian cyber warfare capabilities, it appears that for now Moscow is on the receiving end of the cyber stick. ‘Anonymous,’ the global network of vigilante computer hackers, has been targeting Russia since Vlad the Invader Putin ordered his bloody, unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. Since February 24 the disparate group has been bombarding Russia with cyberattacks, targeting government institutions, state-controlled media, banks, businesses and just about anything linked to Russia. ‘Anonymous’ claims it has taken down or defaced Russian websites, stolen (and then publicly posted) government data, corrupted databases and sent more than 30 million anti-Putin text messages…

In an earlier ALN piece, ‘Is Putin Deploying Brutal Thermobaric Flame Throwing Rocket Launchers to Ukraine?,’ we noted that there were reports that “Russian troops are using thermobaric (fuel-air explosive) weapons which could include the fearsome TOS-1 ‘Blazing Sun’ multiple rocket launcher.” “Thermobaric weapons, also known as vacuum bombs, which suck up oxygen at ground level, creating a partial vacuum suffocating those in the blast zone, are also capable of vaporizing human bodies and crushing internal organs.” ALN added that there were reports that TOS-1s, also known as ‘Buratino,’ had been seen heading for the Ukrainian border, even providing a tweet of…
