The story of Japan's gift of cherry trees to the US is one I've always found especially touching. They are a lovely gesture of friendship and diplomacy. PM Sanae Takaichi added 250 additional trees to celebrate the US's 250th birthday on her recent visit. The state of US-Japan relations today is nothing short of extraordinary.

@cheeseheadexpat @LouisvilleGun @SnowPeak_Japan @snowpeakOutdoor @snowpeakusa Same, and use their titanium bowls everyday as well.

@LouisvilleGun @SnowPeak_Japan @snowpeakOutdoor @snowpeakusa Love the Snowpeak aesthetic. I drink coffee every morning out of one of their titanium double wall mugs.

The Japanese approach camping with all the seriousness and reverence they do any other hobby. Snow Peak equipment is a perfect example of their POV - lightweight, well made, elegant equipment with absurd attention to detail. .@SnowPeak_Japan .@snowpeakOutdoor .@snowpeakusa

🇯🇵 We will never ever apologize to communists again. If anything, you need to apologize for decades of oppression.

The American - Japanese Twitter Alliance has been wholesome thus far, but I think we need to go further and have Elon promoting a stronger brotherhood & setting up cultural exchanges, from Budo, Bujutsu & BBQ, to Guns, Gyms & Gear. If we can cross pollinate our autists, we'll be an unstoppable force. TRUMP-SAMA, we need to fast track visas for this mighty cultural exchange!

@StephenPunwasi The United States developed atomic warheads in the 1950s that weighed ~50lbs, and it had to survive thousands of Gs. It could be made lighter. Your other comments in this thread are similarly wrong. We had nuclear missiles that weighed ~200lbs for the entire flying vehicle!

FYI a nuclear suicide vest isn’t feasible due to basic physics. Nuclear explosions require critical mass, which means slamming the particles together. It needs space, so containers are large & heavy. This isn’t limited by tech. It’s limited by physics and reality.

Global Laser Enrichment (GLE) plans to invest $1.76 billion to develop the Paducah Laser Enrichment Facility in western Kentucky. It will re-enrich depleted uranium using laser isotope separation technology. Article link in reply.

Wrath of God. A B-52H thundering out of RAF Fairford, its pylons stacked with 2,000 lb GBU-31 JDAMs. Pure, unapologetic firepower.

Since my last tweet was about the USAF using modern aerial mines to "bottle up" Iranian missile bases, today is the perfect day to look back at the granddaddy of all aerial area-denial campaigns. Today marks the 91st anniversary of the start of Operation Starvation (March 27, 1945), where USAAF B-29s traded firebombs for naval mines. While people often fight about Coral Sea or Midway or Leyte Gulf as the key turning points of the Pacific War, very few can argue against Operation Starvation as the most efficient and effective naval-air campaign of WWII. For a tiny diversion of 6% of the total B-29 sorties, the campaign sank more tonnage of Japanese ships in the final months of the war than all other methods combined - including the must praised submarines. 1/2 🧵

🚨 An IED was placed at MacDill Air Force Base - home to CENTCOM and U.S. Special Operations Command. A brother and sister have now been indicted. One is in custody for accessory and evidence tampering and the primary suspect is charged with explosives offenses and is currently in China. This FBI, working with our partners, will continue pursuing all those responsible and ensure they are brought to justice, no matter where they are.

Just wait until they figure out what else is buried there
