Not to mention the tree trimming incident.

The UN cutting off his supply of Cristal, Henessey and DVDs is probably going to make him even more angry. Maybe they can send him some Snickers bars.

Just take the pilot out of the equation and fly the plane remotely. Why even have a pilot in planes anymore?

They’re small but have nuclear capability (even if their launch vehicles aren’t that impressive) and are batshit insane. Atleast China’s advances are predictable. South Korea lives in fear of Kim Jung Un having a bad morning and going off.
The launch vehicles may not be great but they can hit neighboring countries with…

It would pretty much wreck my day if NK decides to nuke Boeing Field, as I live downwind. Sure that’s on the extreme outskirts of possibility but it’s still more likely to get me personally killed than the other 2 examples.

There’s a new documentary film (2016) about Kim on Netflix. I came away thinking that he was a little bit of a reformer, but really the only tangible evidence of that is that he’s had the old guard sysystematically killed.

We (and allied states) have boarded or turned back ships from North Korea before. A freighter can’t outrun a warship, and they certainly can’t outrun a helicopter, so there’s little they can do unless the North arms them (and if they did fire on us, we’d probably just sink the ship). Regardless it’s not worth the risk…

B-21 Appropriations Hearing. It might not seem so intimidating to you, but I guarantee you that those two words strike fear into every defense contractor’s heart like no others.

My wife and I moved to our new house 40 miles, costing only a few hundred bucks in fuel and a rental truck. How much stuff could those guys possibly have?

The plan to move close to 60 detainees to the continental U.S. will cost $475 million

Export which F22's? Do you mean the ones we don't build anymore?

I hope it’s just for photo ops and the Raptors come home. It’d be a giant waste of airframe hours.

My fool-proof plan to defeat ISIS

A deranged tyrant who runs a technologically backwards country? Mac is EXACTLY what I’d expect.

Fantastic & thorough articles, as always. Thanks!

I’m in favour of abolishing the draft entirely.

It sounds like you had a nice vacation at work’s expense. Well played.

How is it a humiliation? We avoided over reaction and bloodshed and a simple accident was treated as just that, an accident.
