KYIV, Ukraine — Though U.S. President Donald Trump promised Kyiv a license to build Patriot missile interceptors last month, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon have begun putting the brakes on a joint-production deal as executives weigh what is “feasible” and the licensing runs into Washington’s red tape.American officials are backpedaling too. Trump on July 20 told the Financial Times that the U.S. has to be “a little bit careful of who we license to.” Despite that, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday posted on X that the two sides have “now reached an agreement.”The glacial progress may reflect American defense giants’…
Earlier this year, the Marine Corps unveiled new barracks in Okinawa, Japan, where junior enlisted Marines will have private bedrooms, a departure from the service’s traditional shared-room model.The announcement sparked speculation that similar barracks could be built elsewhere, but the service said the Okinawa complex is a unique case rather than a blueprint for installations in the United States.A Marine Corps official told Task & Purpose this week that the service has no plans to build similar barracks for corporals and below at its U.S. bases. The official said the Okinawa project differs from typical Marine Corps barracks because the…
This article was originally published by Lance D Johnson at Natural News. Heavy explosions lit up the skies over Ahvaz on Friday as American bombers pounded Iranian cities for the 13th consecutive night, but as the US resumes its bombing campaign over Iranian skies, the real detonation may be happening inside the Pentagon’s war rooms. The United States, having signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding with Iran just weeks ago, has now shredded that ceasefire agreement and embarked on a bombing campaign that military analysts say cannot succeed without a full-scale ground occupation of the Strait of Hormuz region. What…

NEW TAIPEI CITY, Taiwan — U.S. President Donald Trump is still holding off approval of a $14 billion weapons package for Taiwan, a potential military rival to Beijing. He pulled back in May after meeting his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, who opposes U.S. military aid to Taiwan.But on July 15, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that includes $500 million in Foreign Military Financing for Taiwan, one in a chain of Pacific Rim allies that U.S. officials have long seen as a buffer against Chinese military expansion.While the half-billion-dollar allocation in the 2027 fiscal year appropriations bill does…
Every year, people wait on summer for a chance to relax and unwind. Days are longer, the weather is warm, and the outdoors beckon. Kids are out of school, and the vacation countdown begins. There’s a general feeling that things are easier. And in many ways, it is easier. But summer brings its own set of problems, and most people don’t prepare for them. Summer preparedness mistakes don’t involve big disasters. They cause inconvenience, discomfort, and escalation of problems stemming from heat, crowds, traffic, and overscheduling.

Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics The day was bright and hot but wind pushing across the immense expanse of Lake Michigan cooled everything except my anticipation. Waders on, I stood at the edge of a pothole that the surf had carved in the rock-and-gravel beach. While coming down the beach, I had sent dozens of tiny frogs scattering in fright. Since small frogs and smallmouth black bass go together like bacon and eggs, I chose a diminutive froglike plug—a sinker—as a lure. As I lifted the rod and let the plug…
Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics the turn of this century, the best frog lures for bass were whichever ones you could get your hands on. We had limited options for fishing heavy vegetation with anything but the most basic amphibians. While some produced strikes and resulted in landed fish, most of these lures were primitive—with subpar hooks, limited color schemes, and poor overall design. Then two things happened that put the frog industrial complex into overdrive: First, braided line became more widely available and more consistently used. That meant that strikes…

Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics Doc and I started our wacky experiment by chasing the cows out of our fishing hole. It was a mean trick since the day was a midsummer scorcher, and one aging bossy that had cooling mud halfway up her sides turned at the water’s edge and moaned her protests. But she had to go. We couldn’t have her standing astraddle one of our best bass holes. We had business with the bass. I call them pasture bass because that’s where they feed along the edges of…

The missile shortage can be blamed on a number of things; however, the main idea is that the US chose to “donate” a large chunk of its war supplies to Ukraine. US Halting Some Weapons Shipments To Ukraine As Own Military Stockpiles Plummet Iran and the US have exchanged strikes for nearly two weeks since a fragile ceasefire reached in spring collapsed. Both sides are also accusing each other of violating a 14-point memorandum of understanding (MoU),…
