Jane's Information Group has some of the best intelligence in the world at its fingertips. On matters ranging from military to security to weaponry and beyond, the staff at Jane's provides top-notch information to its subscribers and probably runs rings around our frequently inept CIA much of the time.The site includes free excerpts of its material in many different categories. From time to time here at The FDH Lounge Multimedia Magazine, we will link directly to their outstanding material on many subjects and allow those of you who are very much concerned with geopolitics and the world around us to keep up on important matters.
In addition to the material below, we refer you to the January, February, March, April, May, June/July, August and September installments of this series.
Highlights of this issue include: the latest on the unstable picture in Pakistan -- and danger next door in India ... North Korea's intentions regarding their weaponry and questions surrounding the status of their dictator ... dealing with piracy off of Somalia's coast ... the situation in Georgia post-invasion ... Iran's continued defiance regarding their nuclear program ... the American mafia at the crossroads ... security in Afghanistan ... how airports are dealing with the economic downturn ... one of the most important looming battlegrounds of the 21st century: Arctic lands with natural resources that belong to no one country -- yet.
