"Schon wieder ein neuer Extraction-Shooter?" Das ist die übliche Reaktion auf eine Ankündigung eines neuen Titels aus dem Subgenre. Doch auf den zweiten Blick stellen wir fest, dass es kaum erfolgreiche Extraction-Shooter auf dem Markt gibt. In diesem Jahr erwartet uns mit ARC Raiders und Marathon nochmals vielversprechender Nachschub. Aber blüht den beiden Spielen dasselbe Schicksal wie Rainbow Six: Exctraction, DMZ aus Call of Duty und Hazard Zone aus Battlefield 2042?In Ausgabe 167 des PC Games Podcast quatschen Moderator Michi Grünwald und Redakteur Carlo Siebenhüner über die beiden anstehenden Shooter, aber auch über die großen Schwierigkeiten, die das Subgenre immer wieder mit sich bringt. Bis auf Hunt: Showdown und Escape from Tarkov verschwinden die meisten Titel nämlich recht schnell in der Bedeutungslosigkeit. Deswegen stellen wir uns die Frage, ob und wie ARC Raiders oder Marathon diesen Bann brechen können.Lasst uns gerne in den Kommentaren wissen, wie ihr zum Thema Extraction-Shooter steht. Welcher ist euer Favorit und was erhofft ihr euch von zukünftigen Spielen des Genres? Ihr könnt diese und ältere Folgen des PC Games Podcast ab sofort übrigens auch auf unserem YouTube-Kanal anhören.

We welcome two people who have devoted themselves to educating the nation about the long Korean War and those who served and sacrificed for South Korea's freedom. The first is Susan Kee whose “Honoring Korean War Veterans” project has documented the stories of over 500 Korean War veterans and advocated for the families of those still MIA since the war. Joining Susan is Army Korean War veteran Ron Twentey, who served in Korea in 1955-1957. Ron grew up in a small farm community near Frederick, Maryland, and worked on local farms from the age of ten, performing hard labor without modern mechanized equipment. Earning 25 cents an hour, he gained an appreciation for the value of work. A strong childhood memory from 1944 was collecting milkweed pods for the war effort, which were used as a substitute for kapok in life jackets. This initiative made him feel like he was contributing to the war. During high school, Twentey watched the Korean War unfold. He was awarded a scholarship to the University of Maryland for his track and field abilities but was uncertain about his future. Ultimately, he decided to enlist in the U.S. Army for three years, intending to return to school afterward. His military service began with basic training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, with the 101st Airborne Division. He then attended the Engineer School at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, specializing in military drafting. Upon completing his training, Twentey and his entire class of 22 men were assigned to Korea. Departing from Seattle, Washington, on a troop ship, he arrived in Inchon after a 20-day journey. From there, they took an old steam train north toward the DMZ. Unaware of their exact destination, they were dropped off and left alone until a convoy of trucks transported them to a replacement tent compound. That night, local Korean boys raided the camp, stealing Army blankets and supplies—a common occurrence due to poverty and shortages following the war. The next day, Twentey was assigned to Headquarters, 24th Infantry Division, G-3 Combat Operations, south of Munsan-Ni. The division had recently returned from Japan to safeguard the DMZ following the Korean War armistice. The fragile peace was frequently challenged by North Korean infiltrators. Twentey served as an Infantry Operations Specialist and Platoon Sergeant, maintaining records of minefield locations above the Imjin River, overseeing maps in the bunker and mobile war rooms, and tracking U.S. and UN troop movements within the DMZ. His work was classified, reflecting the sensitive nature of operations at the time. Additionally, he was tasked with plotting potential nuclear targets throughout North Korea. Using the “Atomic Annie” cannon as a potential delivery method, his job required pinpointing key targets—a task so secretive that he was ordered to forget about it once completed. Twentey served in Korea for 16 months before returning to the U.S. and becoming an engineering instructor. After leaving the military, he worked as a draftsman, eventually transitioning into marketing and communications. His contributions highlight the intricate and often perilous roles played by soldiers in the Korean War and its aftermath, emphasizing the enduring challenges of peacekeeping in a volatile region.

On this week's episode of Tying it Together, host Tim Boyum sits down with Congressman Tim Moore. He's in his first term after breaking a record as the longest serving House Speaker in North Carolina legislative history. The Republican recently visited the DMZ, separating North and South Korea. He explains his time there, including his reasons for being there and how it affected his foreign policy perspective.  Later, he discusses tariffs, FEMA and Western North Carolina recovery from Hurricane Helene. 

This week, Cathi Choi, co-director of Women Cross DMZ, joins the podcast to discuss the group's efforts to formally end the Korean War, reunite divided families and place women at the forefront of peacebuilding on the Korean Peninsula. Cathi discusses the group's latest report, “Women's Rights Under the Division System in Korea,” and the political, social and human rights implications of inter-Korean compact. She also talks about what she regards as the destabilizing impact of U.S. troops on the peninsula, as well as what steps can be taken to reunite families on either side of the DMZ.  Cathi Choi is the executive director of Women Cross DMZ. She previously worked as a civil rights lawyer.  About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Jacco Zwetsloot exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insight from our very own journalists.

The Badlands crew returns for another unfiltered After Dark roundtable in OnlyLands Ep. 3, and this time, they're aiming straight for the stratosphere, sort of. With an all-star lineup of hosts and surprise appearances, the gang dissects Jeff Bezos' all-female Blue Origin flight, affectionately dubbed the "Astrothought" mission. Katy Perry kissing dirt, Gayle King demanding respect, and a spacecraft that suspiciously resembles a novelty bachelor party prop? Yeah, they go there. As the conversation spirals hilariously from feminine footwear in space to fake weightlessness and suspicious studio sets, the hosts draw parallels to Toy Story, The Morning Show, and the broader psyop of the "space obsession" narrative. But it doesn't stop at rockets. The team also tackles the media spin on MS-13 deportations, Kamala's DMZ cosplay, and the absurdity of billionaire behavior, complete with Jeff Bezos' glow-up breakdown and a fiery debate about getting laid via space exploration. From rogue courtrooms and viral livestream blunders to the real reason Americans are being distracted from what matters, this episode serves up a heady mix of laughter, outrage, and insight. Packed with satire, space dust, and a dash of pure chaos, this one's a zero-gravity ride you won't want to miss.

In this Karma Deep Cut episode, we explore the jaw-dropping story of Operation Paul Bunyan—where the U.S. military responded to a border confrontation with an unforgettable act of malicious compliance. It all started with a tree, a rule, and an ambush that pushed tensions in the Korean DMZ to the brink. What followed was a paperwork-approved military flex so extreme, it still echoes through history. This is compliance turned up to 11.Submit your own stories to KarmaStoriesPod@gmail.com.Karma Stories is available on all major Podcasting Platforms and on YouTube under the @KarmaStoriesPodcast handle.

My special guest is John Guerra who's here to discuss his new book about U.S. Air Force Major George Filer who was among the generation of pilots and airmen who first became aware of the strange aircraft showing up in the Earth's atmosphere after World War II. About the book: These men - military professionals who flew planes, commanded ships, served as radar operators and air traffic controllers at air fields around the world - began to whisper amongst themselves about encounters with suspected extraterrestrial aircraft. During secret debriefings at U.S. bases, pilots and air crew told their commanders of seeing strange lights at night and in the daylight, groups of saucer- or cigar-shaped craft that easily paced them just a few yards off their plane's wingtip.Award-winning investigative reporter John Guerra spent four years interviewing Filer, a decorated intelligence officer. From objects in the skies over Cold War Europe to a UFO overflight during the Cuban Missile Crisis to strange lights over the DMZ during the Tet Offensive, Filer leaves nothing out about his Air Force UFO encounters, providing Guerra all the amazing details of his six decades investigating extraterrestrials and their craft. Filer's most memorable case - the shooting of an alien at Fort Dix Army Base in 1978 - is fully recounted for the first time in this book.Filer – who readers have seen on countless UFO documentaries – is also a member of the Disclosure Project, the famous panel of military experts, astronauts, and scientists that urges the U.S. government to release all it knows about UFOs to the public. Then, in the fall of 2017, the Pentagon released the F-18 gun camera footage of what can only be described as an extraterrestrial vehicle outperforming U.S. Navy fighters off San Diego. For the first time, after decades of denying what its intelligence officers, pilots, base commanders and air traffic control personnel know to be true, the military finally admitted to what Filer describes in this incredible book.

Yuna asked, looking at the map.Ko: 힘든 상황이었다.En: It was a difficult situation.Ko: 그곳, 안개 낀 숲 저 끝자락 바로 이웃해 있는 위험한 경계를 넘어가야 했다.En: To find the herb, they had to cross the foggy forest's far edge, right up to the dangerous border.Ko: 고민은 깊어졌다.En: The dilemma deepened.Ko: 그러나 가족의 기대가 준을 조금씩 앞으로 밀어붙였다.En: But his family's expectations pushed Joon forward little by little.Ko: "나는 저기로 갈 거야," 준은 조용히 말했다.En: "I'm going over there," Joon said quietly.Ko: 그의 얼굴엔 결의가 엿보였다.En: There was determination on his face.Ko: 민서와 유나는 걱정되는 눈빛으로 바라보았다.En: Minseo and Yuna looked at him with worried eyes.Ko: 그러나 그들은 준의 결정을 존중했다.En: However, they respected Joon's decision.Ko: 숲은 점점 짙어졌다.En: The forest grew denser.Ko: 드디어, 준은 찾고 있던 약초를 발견했다.En: Finally, Joon found the herb he was seeking.Ko: 그것은 빛나는 듯 피어 있는 작은 꽃이었다.En: It was a small flower that seemed to shine as it bloomed.Ko: 바로 그 순간, 멀리서 군인의 발소리가 들려왔다.En: At that moment, the sound of soldiers' footsteps could be heard in the distance.Ko: 준은 심장이 뛰기 시작했다.En: Joon's heart began to race.Ko: 돌아갈 시간이 없다.En: There was no time to return.Ko: 급하게 달려오는 다른 소리.En: A different sound was rapidly approaching.Ko: 준은 망설이지 않고 약초를 손에 넣고 서둘러 달리기 시작했다.En: Without hesitation, Joon grabbed the herb and started to run.Ko: 숲의 나뭇가지가 그의 옷을 잡아당겼지만, 멈추지 않았다.En: The branches of the trees tugged at his clothes, but he did not stop.Ko: 민서와 유나도 함께 달렸다.En: Minseo and Yuna were running with him.Ko: 그들은 결국 안전하게 숲을 빠져나왔다.En: They eventually made it out of the forest safely.Ko: 비록 심장은 여전히 빠르게 뛰었지만, 준은 미소를 지었다.En: Although his heart was still pounding, Joon smiled.Ko: 그는 할 수 있었다.En: He had done it.Ko: 목표를 이뤘다.En: He had achieved his goal.Ko: 친구들이 그의 곁에 있어 고마웠다.En: He felt grateful to have his friends by his side.Ko: 준은 비로소 자신감과 가족의 전통을 지킬 힘을 갖게 되었다고 느꼈다.En: Joon finally felt he had gained the confidence and strength to uphold his family's tradition.Ko: 예쁜 초록 잎 사이로 봄의 바람이 불어왔다.En: The spring breeze blew through the pretty green leaves.Ko: 준의 손엔 그 드문 약초가 있었다.En: Joon held the rare herb in his hand.Ko: 가족의 기대를 충족시킬 수 있다는 믿음도 함께였다.En: Along with it came the belief that he could meet his family's expectations.Ko: 이제 그는 다르다.En: Now, he was different.Ko: 숲은 이제 그에게 새로운 의미와 가능성으로 다가왔다.En: To him, the forest now approached with new meanings and possibilities.

Delmar Beard grew up near Ft. Bragg, North Carolina. But when it was time to join the military during World War II, he chose the Navy. Serving as a gunner aboard an LST, Beard made multiple landings during the battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Later, he did join the Army, and served for 22 years. He rose to the rank of command sergeant major and was deployed to both Korea and Vietnam.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Beard takes us from training to landing at Iwo Jima. He describes unloading the ship while Japanese bullets were whizzing around him and even fatally striking the sailor right next to him. He also tells us what he saw on the beach and in the hills and mountains above.From there, Beard tells us about operating the 40mm double-barreled anti-aircraft guns during the relentless Japanese air raids and kamikaze missions against the U.S. fleet. Finally, he takes us to Vietnam. Beard explains his command over a series of gun batteries stretching from Quin Yon to the DMZ and some of the most difficult moments of his time there.

In the last days of the Vietnam War, six heavily-armed Marines—while hiking through the darkness of the DMZ—narrowly avoided a run-in with a trio of bizarre behemoths. In the moments following this near-miss, the grunts were counting their lucky stars... but little could these battle weary men have suspected that, in mere moments, all hell was about to break loose.

Near the end of the Vietnam War a battle hardened team of American Marines were sent on a covert mission into the dense jungles of the DMZ in order to ambush a communist convoy. But that moonless night these well-armed warriors weren't destined to be the aggressors but the victims of an inexplicable army of unknown—and decidedly inhuman—enemies.

Join Matt Lewis and Bill Scher on DMZ as they dive into the latest political analysis. In this episode, Bill discusses his provocative Washington Monthly article, "Trump's Historically Bad First Month of Polls Should Terrify Republicans." With Trump's approval ratings dropping 7 points in just one month — starting stronger than his first term but already treading water — these early numbers could spell disaster for congressional Republicans facing the 2026 midterms. From unpopular tariffs and Elon Musk's growing unpopularity to potential economic missteps like inflation and job cuts, is Trump governing as advertised, or is he overreading his mandate? Matt challenges Bill's optimism, questioning voter expectations, poll reliability, and whether Republicans can break from Trump's grip. Are Democrats poised to capitalize, or will Trump's chaos reshape the political landscape? Watch now for expert insights on Trump's presidency, GOP strategy, and the road to 2026!

In this Upstream episode, Erik Torenberg sits down with military historian Victor Davis Hanson. They discuss the future of Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, the evolution of the American left, and Donald Trump's potential future legacy.  —

Dr. John Wander was drafted in 1967, certain he was headed to Vietnam where surgeons like himself were in great demand. Instead, he was assigned to an Army base eight miles from the DMZ in South Korea. As the base's Chief Surgeon, he used his authority to benefit not just those assigned there but to deliver much-needed care to hundreds of Koreans in the surrounding areas.

Se extiende a lo largo del paralelo 38, tiene cuatro kilómetros de ancho y 250 de largo y divide a la península coreana en dos mitades norte y sur: hablamos de la zona desmilitarizada de Corea, DMZ por sus siglas en inglés. Esta línea fronteriza está administrada por Naciones Unidas y representa, desde el fin de la guerra de Corea en 1953, tanto el símbolo como la realidad de la división del país. Por primera vez, una misión de observación civil obtuvo permiso para grabar en el interior de la zona desmilitarizada.

It's a little tense this week, as Adam describes life on the North Korean border. Popular as a tourist attraction, visiting the DMZ isn't as dangerous as it may sound, unless you have someone in your tour group who insists on taking photographs! The Korean Demilitarized Zone is a heavily militarized area that runs between North and South Korea, dividing the peninsula in half. Established in 1953 as a result of the Korean Armistice agreement, the DMZ stretches 250 kilometres and is around 4 kilometres wide. The situation has flared up many times, with civilian and military casualties on both sides. Adam also shares highlights of his first week in South Korea, including spending the night in Incheon airport, and eating live octopus! Over in the Patreon section, we hear how buying a bagel turned into the "least enjoyable shopping experience" of his life! Inspired to sleep in an airport?

Send us a textEpisode 172In June of 1994, with tensions escalating on the Korean Peninsula, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter undertook a bold mission to Pyongyang, North Korea. At the time, the world was teetering on the brink of crisis as North Korea threatened to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, sparking fears of a potential war. Carter, acting as a private citizen, crossed the heavily fortified DMZ into uncharted diplomatic territory.Over three tense days, Carter met directly with North Korea's leader, Kim Il-sung, a figure long shrouded in mystery and mistrust. Against all odds, the meeting bore fruit. Carter secured a pledge from Kim to freeze North Korea's nuclear program in exchange for dialogue and aid—a breakthrough that paved the way for the Agreed Framework later that year.Carter's trip wasn't without controversy; critics saw it as undermining the Clinton administration's official stance. Yet, it was undeniably a moment of remarkable diplomacy, showcasing the power of dialogue to defuse even the gravest of threats. In the end, the trip not only prevented an imminent crisis but also highlighted the profound impact of one man's determination to pursue peace.Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States and a tireless champion for peace, passed away at the age of 99. Known for his humility, humanitarian efforts, and unwavering commitment to diplomacy, Carter's legacy extended far beyond his presidency. From his groundbreaking 1994 trip to North Korea to his work with Habitat for Humanity, Carter's life was a testament to the power of service and compassion.Support the showInsta@justpassingthroughpodcastContact:justpassingthroughpodcast@gmail.com

The U.S. Marine Corps recently captured a Viet Cong tunnel complex in Quang Tri province near the DMZ. It is believed that they removed something from that tunnel complex, not least because Corporal Paul Lewis, the unit photographer attached to Firebase Jonas, died from an “accidental firearm discharge” two days later. That was three days ago. Delta Green, a secret government agency dedicated to protecting the U.S. from the unnatural, sends in a team of agents to investigate and stop the outbreak.

"In the Twinkling of an Eye" is a story about espionage, family love, and loyalty, focused on a Russian-North Korean conspiracy to develop a devastating biological weapon for assassination, terror and genocide, as written by a senior CIA operations officer whose career was devoted to battling the spread of weapons of mass destruction. This is the second book in the thrilling Guild Series!In 1986, a Ukrainian teenager loses his father and his own left eye to the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, but he escapes and becomes a top-notch genetics engineer at Moscow State University. There, he is seduced into joining a well-funded new genetics institute where he hopes to develop a genetic solution (better than CRISPR) to cure his twelve-year old daughter's leukemia that is a result of her damaged genes that she inherited from his radiation exposure. But soon he learns that the Institute is actually a coverup run by the Russian intelligence service and is secretly developing advanced genetic bioweapons with the North Koreans for assassination, terror, and genocide. The Ukrainian scientist feels he must remain at the institute, however, in order to find a cure for his dying daughter.Parallel to this story, a young North Korean girl escapes to South Korea via a North Korean attack tunnel beneath the DMZ. Her father, the North Korean military mining engineer who designed the tunnel, dies during the attempt, and she loses her younger brother with whom she was escaping. She is adopted by a Korean-American US military officer and grows up to be an FBI special agent devoted to battling WMD, who secretly recruits the Ukrainian scientist.In the course of their work, the FBI agent equips the Ukrainian scientist with a new glass eye with microelectronics on the nano scale that enables him to record covertly everything he sees and hears and transmit his intelligence to her daily through one of his daughter's dolls that has advanced artificial intelligence. It is perfect revenge for a character, who has lost his eye as a teenager, is scarred for life and has lost his beloved father due to Soviet incompetence at Chernobyl. The doll is virtually sentient and is a stand-in for the female FBI agent whom she resembles. In so doing, the agent overcomes the biggest obstacles that spies traditionally face: safely communicating frequently with their case officer for operational guidance and psychological reinforcement and transmitting critical information in a timely fashion.Together, the scientist and the FBI agent must prevent Russia and North Korea from using the bioweapons for assassination and mass murder of regime opponents.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

L'incident du peuplier, parfois appelé « incident de l'arbre de la zone démilitarisée », est un événement tendu qui a failli déclencher une guerre entre les États-Unis et la Corée du Nord en août 1976. Cette histoire incroyable commence par un simple arbre, un peuplier, qui poussait dans la zone démilitarisée (DMZ) séparant la Corée du Nord et la Corée du Sud, l'une des frontières les plus militarisées et les plus sensibles au monde. Le 18 août 1976, des soldats américains et sud-coréens, accompagnés de travailleurs civils, se sont rendus dans la DMZ pour élaguer le peuplier, qui bloquait la vue d'un poste d'observation crucial pour surveiller les mouvements de l'armée nord-coréenne. Cependant, les Nord-Coréens, voyant ces travaux, ont réagi de manière inattendue et violente. Un groupe de soldats nord-coréens est arrivé sur les lieux et, après une altercation verbale, a brutalement attaqué le contingent américain et sud-coréen avec des haches et des barres de fer. Deux officiers américains, le capitaine Arthur Bonifas et le lieutenant Mark Barrett, ont été tués dans l'assaut. Cet incident a déclenché une crise internationale majeure. Les États-Unis, sous la présidence de Gerald Ford, ont envisagé des réponses militaires, craignant que cet acte ne soit le signe d'une escalade planifiée par la Corée du Nord. Des tensions extrêmes se sont installées, et le monde entier a suivi avec inquiétude ce qui semblait être un prélude potentiel à une nouvelle guerre en Asie. Pour montrer leur force sans déclencher de conflit direct, les États-Unis ont alors planifié l'« opération Paul Bunyan », une démonstration de puissance militaire d'une ampleur impressionnante. Trois jours après l'incident, une force massive, comprenant des soldats armés, des hélicoptères, des bombardiers et des avions de chasse, a été déployée pour sécuriser la zone et terminer l'abattage de l'arbre. La Corée du Nord, voyant ce déploiement massif, n'a pas réagi militairement, et l'incident a été désamorcé. L'incident du peuplier reste un exemple frappant de la fragilité des relations internationales, où une simple opération d'élagage a failli déclencher un conflit mondial. Il met en lumière comment une situation apparemment triviale peut dégénérer rapidement en une crise majeure lorsque des tensions géopolitiques sous-jacentes sont présentes. Depuis, cet événement est souvent cité comme un cas d'école sur l'importance de la communication et de la prudence dans les zones de conflit. Hébergé par Acast.

Last week we had an overview of weapons throughout history and how it's a constant game of balance and oneupmanship. Now we're looking at future weapons and Scifi stuff! There's a lot of potential and a lot of interesting ideas you can use in comics and stories. We talk about a few of these and some of our faves, as well as our own inventions. Future weapons can take all different forms, many kinds of directed energy weapons, energy propelled projectiles, satellite based weapons, drone and robot technology, autonomous weapons systems etc. Biological and chemical weapons are super scary but generally pretty useless in reality, even as terrorist weapons because they're so imprecise and uncontrollable and take a lot of work to set up and deploy. This means they will hit people who aren't your target and they also have an excellent chance of not even working at all despite all the preparation and cost, so we're not even bothering with these in the discussion. One future Scifi weapon concept that always comes up are “plasma” weapons. These are super undefined and no one really knows what they are because they can be so many things. When it comes to weapons what we mean by “plasma” is the very hot gas that has free ions so that it's electrically conductive like metal. We know dangerous plasma mostly from its use as a cutting torch in welding and also the gigantic planet sized solar flares that seem to erupt from the surface of the sun are plasma that's following the huge loop of a magnetic field projecting from the sun, because it can be controlled by magnetic fields. Given this it can be used in a few different ways as a weapon: you can use it like an explosive chemical propellant for firing bullets, you can use it as a sort of flame thrower (especially effective if you can direct it with a magnetic field), you can contain balls of plasma with magnetic fields and throw them like canon shells, or you can use the plasma as an electrically conductive medium to direct lightning bolts. Directed energy weapons are very traditionally SciFi but have only ever seen limited practical usage despite the old popularity of the “Death Ray” and lasers as weapons. They're attractive because the only limiting factor is your energy source, you don't need to carry ammunition so theoretically you can have unlimited shots, they travel at the speed of light so you can't miss, they're not affected by friction or gravity so there are no ballistics to work out either, there's also no loss in energy like there is with traditional guns where the propulsive explosion badly transfers energy to the projectile. The trouble is that they don't work very well as weapons because you need to put in a LOT of energy to do any damage over a distance because they don't work well in an atmosphere, you also have to hold it on a target for a long time. This category includes the aforementioned lasers, microwave weapons, electron beams, particle beams etc They have a lot more potential as space weapons where atmosphere isn't an issue and their lack of recoil is a huge advantage. Electrically accelerated projective weapons known as “mass drivers” are another category. They are capable to much higher speeds than traditional guns or missiles because they're not limited by the compression of gasses. In this group we have Gauss guns aka coil guns, rail guns and some other variations. They use magnetic or electrical fields to accelerate projectiles. The main advantage is speed, increased safety because they don't need dangerous propellant, and shots only limited by your electrical capacity. The disadvantages of these systems is that they're very complicated, they can't use explosive projectiles, and they have a high failure rate- Railguns are the most promising system but each time they fire they produce clouds of burning fire, which is caused by layers of metal being stripped from the rails inside them, which means they degrade very quickly and the rails have to be replaced constantly. We all know the potential of drones, but the use of autonomous self directed weapons where the drones can pick their own targets is where they become scary. Autonomous weapons are already a reality in large defence turrets on ships, around army bases, and important buildings (like the Whitehouse). They can be set to radar directed target acquisition, which they need for defence against fast moving missiles. Machine gun turrets on the defences along the DMZ between North and South Korea also work like this. Even cruise missiles are somewhat autonomous in that they can find their own way to their targets. What we're really worried about though are things like predator drones or tracked bomb disposal robots coming after us with weapons like mounted machine guns, both are possible and have been tested. Satellites have limited weapon capability, none have enough power onboard to carry useful energy weapons, while mass drivers and traditional projectile weapons introduce the problem of recoil which is extremely hard to cope with for a satellite in orbit. They can carry missiles like nuclear weapons be they're extremely vulnerable to attack for such an expensive weapon. successful experiments have been made using traditional guns against other satellites but they're very messy and dangerous to everything in orbit. A stupid idea that was proposed were the “rods of god”: giant tungsten poles which the satellite could drop as destructive gravity driven bombs, The trouble is that would be super expensive to get into space, the accuracy is extremely bad and the energy needed to aim them would be too costly. It would only be useful as a “sword of Damocles” if you had them always hanging over specific targets, but even then they'd be very easy to disable. We came up with our own future weapons. Mine was a marshmallow gun that would spray masses of harmless sugary marshmallow fluff all over your enemies, then use a microwave emitter to massively expand the marshmallow and heat it to debilitating levels. This would envelop people in masses of injurious, burning gooey muck, which would then harden on them and any surface it touched. It would also be terrible for the insides of electronics and machinery. I could talk about a LOT more but let's leave it for now. Listen to the cast! What are YOUR fave future weapons and how do they work?

//The Wire//2200Z October 18, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: WAR CONTINUES IN MIDDLE EAST. USA MEAT RECALL EXPANDS. CUBA SUFFERS NATIONAL POWER OUTAGE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: The wars in Gaza and Lebanon continue as before. Combat operations in northern Gaza have intensified, and the invasion of Lebanon remains kinetic amid international tensions and concerns.Cuba: This afternoon, a nationwide power outage was reported throughout the island, resulting in a nearly-total communications blackout. Due to the blackout, it is challenging to determine the cause of the power outage, however rumor on social media somewhat obviously indicates a large-scale failure at a power station, which cascaded to most of the electrical networks throughout the nation.Far East: Tensions continue to escalate on the Korean peninsula as South Korea responds to recent North Korean activities within the DMZ. South Korea has conducted large-scale drills in the vicinity of the DMZ after North Korea explosively demolished two roads leading to South Korea a few days ago.-HomeFront-United States: A nationwide meat recall has expanded to roughly 12 million pounds of processed meat due to listeria contamination at one facility in Oklahoma. AC: The recall mostly includes pre-packaged foods that are frequently re-branded as store-brand prepared meals, or prepared for use in public institutions such as schools. This recall was originally issued on October 9th, however over the past few days it has expanded significantly in scope.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Cuba has been plagued by failing infrastructure for decades, which occasionally results in widespread power outages. In most cases, it is surprising that Cuba's electrical infrastructure works at all, however large-scale nationwide outages occur once or twice a year.Recent reporting from South Korea has also suggested that significant numbers of North Korean troops are serving alongside Russia in Ukraine, adding to the worsening relations throughout the region. However, in typical fashion the only source for this information is South Korean intelligence agencies; North Korea has not confirmed the number of troops they have sent to Ukraine.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//

On June 25th, 1950, communist North Korea invaded the South. It was the first major military action of the Cold War and one of the first significant tests for the newly formed United Nations. The conflict claimed the lives of more than 2.5 million people and cemented the great power rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union. Yet, the Korean War is largely a forgotten chapter of history. The inaugural episode of Forgotten War, narrated by Steve Paikin, explores this history through the eyes of someone who lived it: Canadian Korean War veteran Romeo Daley. He fought for over a year in Korea with Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry and was one of the first Canadians sent to a M.A.S.H. unit after being injured by an exploding grenade.

On this week's DMZ, Bill and Matt discuss...-- Should you move to Canada if Trump wins?-- Why pollsters have a hard time saying who will win this race — or how close it even is-- Trump's comments about the "enemy within," and why they should be getting more attention than Hillary Clinton's "Deplorables" gaffe. -- Why Kamala Harris is smart not to blame the voters for a tied race.-- And MUCH more!

Japanese authorities have reported the incursion of 4x Chinese Coast Guard vessels into the waters off the coast of the Senkaku Islands in the vicinity of Okinawa.On the Korean Peninsula, tensions have been increasing over the past few months amid worsening relations between the North and South. Yesterday North Korea explosively demolished two major roads leading to the DMZ, in a symbolic gesture indicative of the current divisions between the two nations. As South Korean troops were obviously not notified of the detonations in advance, significant small arms fire was noted as South Korean troops initially thought they were under attack.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. – This afternoon the White House announced the sending of another $425 million of military aid to Ukraine.Arkansas: A large industrial fire was reported at the Marck Industries recycling facility in Rogers. The fire reportedly began as a small cardboard fire before spreading to the rest of the facility. Air quality warnings have been issued due to the potentially toxic smoke being emitted from the facility.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In the Pacific, China's recent activities are not entirely new escalations, with Chinese vessels routinely conducting power-projection operations in Japan's waters near the various territorial outlying islands that are administered by Japan. Chinese naval patrols are usually a political message both to Japan and the significant US military presence on Okinawa.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//
