The annual longing for #Privateer has come upon me, wherein I really want to play my mental model of Wing Commander: Privateer.

This differs from the actual game in several important respects, chief among which is that in my version there aren't any bloody asteroid field combats because SERIOUSLY WHO THOUGHT THESE WERE A GOOD IDEA.

McCains and Irvings are oligarchs sure, but they are OUR oligarchs here in New Brunswick! we might hear "corporate welfare" murmured by the nay sayers. but these Dreadnaughts had our backs many a time.

Irving will tell trump to play ball, or BATTLESHIP. So say the ghosts of Enos Collins and Joseph Barss Jr.

I got behind on posting the past few weeks of pickups from Julio's Liquors.

First up, from a Whisk(e)y Wednesday at Julio's Liquors tasting, I picked up a couple of offerings from Raising Glasses - a four year Queen's Share bottling of Privateer Rum and Rum Passport, a six-nation single cask blend of rum.

That same night I picked up my reserved Glenmorangie A Tale of Ice Cream.

At another WW I picked up a couple of Mad River Distillers bottles - Summit American Single Malt Whiskey and Founders Reserve Straight Rye Whiskey. Both bottles were signed by co-founder Maura Connolly.

That night I also picked up my reserved Wild Turkey Jimmy Russell 70th Anniversary Release 8 year bourbon.

Then I was back in for another WW and I picked up the Loch & Key Whisk(e)y Society picked Bully Boy Distillers "Wicked Dahk" wheated bourbon and my reserved High West Distillery A Midwinter Night's Dram Act 12 Scene 2.

Space Privateers or Space Pirates? Armed Conflict, Outer Space, and the Attribution of Non-State Activities

Link: lieber.westpoint.edu/space-pri

Famously, George Clemenceau, Prime Minister of France at the end of the First World War, quipped that “generals always prepare to fight the last war, especially if they won it.” Such flaws of perspicacity, of course, are not limited to generals. After all, as Nobel Prize-winning physicist Niels Bohr once mused, “prediction is very difficult, especially about the future.” No wonder then that, when back in 1945 the Charter of the United Nations was concluded, it mainly focused on efforts to prevent a Third World War from arising along the lines of the Second. Most specifically, the massive armed attacks against other sovereign States and their territories that had initiated the war triggered the baseline prohibition of Article 2(4) >>

>> of the Charter. The UN Charter quickly came to represent the core of globally applicable international law on using or threatening the use of armed force in inter-State relations.
Since then, however, two major developments occurred in the geopolitical context that were not addressed in any detail by the Charter: first, the fundamental involvement of non-State actors in conflict situations; and second, the importance of outer space in armed conflicts. More recently, moreover, these developments have started to become intertwined, giving rise to questions about their legal parameters and ramifications. For example, are crucial contributions from private operators to an armed conflict involving outer space legally attributed to a belligerent or not? Should they be considered space privateers, somehow licensed by States to undertake their attacks, or space pirates, legally unable to hide behind a State’s broad back?

Such overarching questions should preferably be solved before the lack of legal clarity contributes to more and more nefarious armed conflicts.
The Fundamental Involvement of Non-State Actors in International Armed Conflicts

As for the first paradigm change, the world into which the UN Charter was born—and principally addressed international armed conflicts, as opposed to non-international ones—was still ruled by sovereign States, in particular when it came to the threat or use of armed force. As an obvious corollary, it was a fundamental remit of internation ..
