It’s horrifying to think about, but the day may come when Americans look to the sky and see nuclear warheads raining down on our country’s most populated cities. While the United States government has its own system in place to deter such attacks, it’s important to know how to brace yourself in the event that […]

Space junk is an imminent menace to communications satellites, scientists are warning. Satellites, particularly of a military variety, are already under potential threat from ground-based hostile aggressors with missiles, lasers, kinetic weapons, cyber attacks, and other disruptive measures. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist, as it were, to realize that space trash left behind […]

Rumblings about a possible future attack on America’s power grid and logistical infrastructure have some politicians in a scurry trying to figure out how to prevent it. According to reports, North Korea currently operates two satellites that cross over the U.S. in what experts say are just the right patterns and altitudes for triggering an […]

The North Korean government is continuing its efforts to build a better missile, especially one that can reach the United States. But a new assessment of Pyongyang’s progress — and its ultimate goal of sewing death and destruction on American soil — concludes that precision nuclear strikes aren’t necessary. Just getting a nuclear-tipped ICBM close, […]

The former Soviet Union has developed a revolutionary new missile technology that’s capable of outsmarting even the most advanced anti-missile systems. Known as a Zircon, the Russian cruise missile can travel as fast as 4,600 miles per hour, which makes it virtually “unstoppable” in terms of any military’s ability to shoot it down before it […]

If you needed additional proof that President Obama and his foreign policy team, especially Hillary Clinton, were both tone-deaf to national security threats and completely ineffective in dealing with them, this should do it. As reported by The New York Times on Sunday, the U.S. intelligence community, the CIA in particular, suffered major losses of […]

Defense Secretary James “Mad Dog” Mattis had an unusually blunt warning for North Korea at an Asian security conference on Friday: The U.S. considers it a “clear and present danger,” a phrase that, historically, has only been used by American diplomats, politicians and presidents as a warning to countries who are in line for preemptive […]

He’s perhaps most well-known for founding the Tesla brand of electric vehicles that’s revolutionizing the way that people drive. But Elon Musk’s other big project, SpaceX (Space Exploration Technologies Corp.), recently landed itself in the crosshairs of a nasty legal battle after a former employee brought up charges alleging that the company was cutting corners […]

For decades the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy, or PLAN, was essentially a third-tier, “brown water” force that was used principally for coastal defense and patrolling. But in the past two decades, as China’s economy has grown to become the second-largest in the world behind only the United States, it has steadily modernized its navy […]

In yet another provocation, North Korea test-fired a ballistic missile on Monday — the third one this month and ninth this year — which landed dangerously close to Japan, ahead of a key U.S. anti-missile defense test that many hope will be the first successful trial in more than a year. But as the North […]

This story has been updated with additional input from Paul Craig Roberts to correct an earlier version of the story. In an article entitled, “Are You Ready to Die,” author Paul Craig Roberts argues that it’s only a matter of time before Russia launches a nuclear strike on the United States and wipes out millions […]

Perhaps anticipating that the Trump administration and regional U.S. allies, including South Korea and Japan, are preparing to preemptively strike its nuclear weapons development program, North Korea is ramping up tests of ballistic missiles even as it works to perfect miniaturization of a nuclear warhead to place atop an ICBM. The development program got a […]

The thought of a nuclear conflict is terrifying to most people, and frankly it ought to be. A one-off nuclear explosion by a rogue state, while bound to cause massive American casualties (and instant obliteration of the attacking country), a large-scale nuclear exchange would no doubt wipe out much of humanity. That said, there is […]

As American military and intelligence officials noted in April that North Korea was appeared to be making preparations to conduct its sixth nuclear weapons test, many began assessing how close Pyongyang was to building an ICBM capable of hitting the continental United States. Information about the Hermit Kingdom’s weapons programs remain hard to come by, […]

A day before a global ransomware attack crippled the National Health Service in Britain and struck Russian government offices as well as institutions in dozens of other countries, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order instructing federal department heads to focus on strengthening cybersecurity, with an eye toward protecting critical national infrastructure like the […]
