Will China and the United States square off to determine who will own outer space? It’s not likely any time too soon but the reality remains that with any potential for military and commercial gain, someone will try to own and profit from the land or in this case the space. I was startled when I head the comments from the Air Force commander of China who stated that space militarization is inevitable. Additionally the US General Chilton echoed these comments as if to agree. If this will be the case, what steps does the US need to take in » Read More

China would appear to be the number one US competitor in every field, including space advancement. According to US General Kevin Chilton, within the past ten years China has made incredible improvements to their space program. More importantly is the concern among US military leaders about what China could do with their new space technology. General Chilton commented on the program stating, “With regard to China’s capabilities, I think anyone who’s familiar with this business — and particularly our history in this business over the years — would have to be absolutely amazed at the advancement that China has made » Read More

If you have never stopped to consider the implications associated with cyber threats, I beg of you, do so now. We are living in a world where entire companies and government organizations can be crippled by cyber attacks. It is in this increasingly threatening atmosphere that we must develop ours defenses so that our governmental and commercial websites and entities are not damaged by cyber attacks. The history of these attacks is rather broad. Since governmental bodies began using computing systems and especially with the development of the internet, it has become more threatening than ever to work on governmental servers » Read More

South Korea has been on the receiving end of malicious cyber attacks lately. On Monday the South Korean police announced that South Korea would be seeking assistance from China in order to pinpoint the source for the numerous cyber attacks that South Korea has been facing lately. In July the United States and South Korea were both hit with a barrage of cyber attacks on business sites and government sites and servers. The South Korean police force is hoping that the Chinese investigation will provide some answers. I was somewhat perplexed when I first learned that South Korea will be seeking » Read More

I have noticed a trend in my excursions abroad . . . I have found that people have strong feeling towards the US and the US military. Many times people either love or hate the US and often its a lot of both. People from other countries naturally envy the US and our military / culture / economic prosperity because we are the most successful and blessed country. This may be changing in the years ahead but for now, we are numero uno. This also causes a » Read More

Why does North Korea want so badly to discuss its nuclear issues with the US alone? They want to separate us from our allies so that they can negotiate the best possible terms for their nuclear program. I have a hunch that they believe that they can get the US to provide huge sums of money in exchange for ending of the North Korean nuclear program. The truth is that they are probably right in this assertion. We will pay North Korea plenty of money because the » Read More

Is anyone else sick of North Korea? The persistent demands are starting to sound like nails on a chalkboard. Yet again North Korea is demanding that the US meet PRIVATELY with them to discuss disarmament. The US continually pleads for North Korea to meet with them in the six party discussions that we once enjoyed. Those discussions aimed at disarmament for North Korea included the US, South Korea, China, Japan, Russia, and North Korea.

The Foreign Minister or Israel stated that they will be ready to defend themselves against any and all threats from a nuclear Iran. The Minister stated that Israel will do whatever is necessary to ensure their survival. He believes that the nations of the European Union have not taken enough action to relieve Iran as a threat. Additionally he thinks it faulty that the nations of the European Union have not been more concerned of the possible ramifications of nuclear Iran. It seems as though Israel would have the most reason for concern with regard to a nuclear Iran. The two » Read More

On Wednesday former US President Bush spoke and urged the international community to continue pressuring North Korea so that they will disarm and no longer be a threat. Bush specifically stated he believes “the best way to bring peace to the Korean peninsula is multilateral diplomacy through the six-party talks.” Bush advocated for the six nation talks which were abandoned by North Korea months ago. I still can’t figure out why the US is so intent on the 6 nation discussions with North Korea. Perhaps the US wants partners on the deal so that if things go south, the US will » Read More

On Wednesday the US House of Representatives approved measures to up the sanctions on Iran in order to get them to halt uranium enrichment. The new bill went through the House with a 414-6 vote indicating that such action is widely overdue. The bill punishes firms that do more than 20 million dollars worth of business within the energy sector of Iran. The Democratic House leader stated that he hopes these measures will show Iran that the window for negotiations and diplomacy will not remain open for ever. All I can say is that it is ABOUT TIME!
