Donald Trump is quoted by various news outlets as arguing that the American Civil War could have been averted through negotiations. Although I highly doubt it because of the central issue to the war, Trump has the right to opine his opinion about a historical event. All history could have been drastically changed by one […]

Yesterday, we looked at the arrival of México’s only fleet of supersonic interceptors and noted their retirement last year. The Mexican F5 Tigres operated in México for 34 years. They represent the […]
