Joaquin Buckley and Sean Strickland went at it on social media over the former UFC champ’s use of a racial slur on a recent live stream.

The incident drew strong responses on social media. After the clip went viral, UFC welterweight Joaquin Buckley scolded…

Burpees have a reputation for being brutally hard. They spike heart rate, burn the lungs, and seem to punish the whole body at once. That reputation is deserved—but it is also misleading. Burpees are not inherently “hard” because they are cruel or poorly designed. They are hard because they demand coordination, strength, power, mobility, and aerobic capacity all at the same time. The good news is this: research from exercise physiology, biomechanics, and motor learning shows that burpees can feel significantly easier without making them less effective. By adjusting technique, sequencing, breathing, and training focus, you can reduce unnecessary fatigue…

Samuel asks about Athenian archers at the start of the Peloponnesian War. Thucydides lists significant numbers of them in 431 and it raises a series of questions. How were these archers equipped Were they citizens, metics or the famous Scythian archers Did they serve aboard triremes or mainly in garrisons Were they poorer citizens unable to afford hoplite equipment, or were they specialists and mercenaries. Murray looks at what we know from the sources and archaeology about Athenian archers.   Join us on Patreonpatreon.com/ancientwarfarepodcast  

WASHINGTON—With negotiations seemingly headed nowhere, a new conflict with Iran looks increasingly likely, if not inevitable. The United States has gathered the most air power in the Middle East since the 2003 Iraq war. A US military operation in Iran would likely be a massive, weeks-long campaign that would look more like a full-fledged war than the early January operation to remove Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro from power. At this moment, there’s no clarity on whether the United States will strike, what in Iran it would strike, or what might follow. In the absence of answers, it’s all the more…

Imagine an aircraft that doesn’t just fly through the sky, it watches everything. Hundreds of miles in every direction. Fighters, bombers, drones, even ships slipping quietly across open water.Long before satellites became the buzzword of modern surveillance, the E-3 Sentry was already up there, orbiting silently like an airborne referee, calling the shots.At first glance, it looks… unusual. A large jet with a massive spinning disc perched on its back, like a giant vinyl record frozen mid-spin. That disc isn’t decoration, it’s the heart of one of the most influential airborne warning and control systems ever built by Boeing. And…

Future U.S. government responses in cyberspace will be “linked to adversary actions” and will involve coordination between the private sector and smaller governments, a top White House official said Thursday.The dynamic, which will be codified in a forthcoming national cyber strategy, is meant to make clear that foreign adversaries’ actions that target U.S. networks have consequences, according to Alexandra Seymour, who serves as the principal deputy assistant national cyber director for policy in the Office of the National Cyber Director.“To do this, we will need to coordinate closely with state and local governments and the private sector, including critical infrastructure…

There is not one version of international law for some countries and another version for others, irrespective of the conduct and discourse of some Western states.

Federal agencies are accelerating the deployment of AI in an effort to modernize operations, overcome staffing shortages, and meet rising national security demands. These systems are being introduced into logistics planning, intelligence support, cyber defense workflows and the operational technology that drives core government functions. The motivation is clear: There is an explicit need for speed, scale and efficiency. However, as agencies pursue this AI-driven transformation, they are colliding with the limits of existing operational frameworks and procurement assumptions. Leaders want tools that increase speed and reduce manual workload. The capabilities of these systems remain far narrower than the expectations…
