Or a guide for non-military historians on how to understand the movie. Christopher Nolan’s film Dunkirk has been released for over six years now and I have watched it 3 times in the movie theater and once more after I bought the DVD. Now, I am a huge Star Wars fan but I have only […]
Read more "Watching Dunkirk"The Indo-Pakistani War by Ted Halstead My rating: 5 of 5 stars Another Flashpoint Not so long ago, I read an article about the least understood but most potentially dangerous strategic alliance was China and Pakistan.

The US national security and intelligence apparatus has raised very legitimate concerns about the app gathers data, especially one of the owners of TikTok is the Chinese Communist government. The Communist regimes of the Cold War were at the forefront of surveillance and surpassed the West […]

Read more "Old Lessons in New Contexts"Back in December 2022, I made a throwaway comment during a church service about dead and dying languages. In particular, I mentioned how some languages died off because of genocide or a declining generation. I said it to a bunch of guys; two of them were new friends and the last one was my friend […]
