@shanaka86 PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP LAUGHS AT YOUR RULES

JUST IN: You do not fire your Army Chief of Staff in the middle of a war for no reason. You fire him because of what comes next. Pete Hegseth called General Randy George on April 2 and told him to retire immediately. The Pentagon confirmed it within hours. No reason was given. Not publicly. Not privately. A senior Army official told Fox News that Hegseth offered George nothing: no misconduct, no operational failure, no policy disagreement on the record. Just a phone call and a career ending in the middle of the most significant American combat operation in two decades. George is the 24th general or admiral Hegseth has removed. But he is not the 24th. He is the one that matters. The Army Chief of Staff. The man whose signature sits between a president’s intent and the order that sends soldiers across a beach or into a tunnel complex. The 82nd Airborne is deploying right now. Marines from the 31st MEU are staged on the USS Tripoli. JSOC operators are at forward bases in Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Kharg Island, 90 percent of Iranian oil exports, sits 16 kilometres off a coast that someone will have to decide whether to approach. And the four-star general whose job it was to advise whether that approach should happen was removed 48 hours after Trump told the nation the war would continue for two to three more weeks. The replacement is Vice Chief General Christopher LaNeve. He was Hegseth’s senior military aide before this appointment. The man who carried the Secretary’s briefcase now commands the Army the Secretary is reshaping. The chain of command did not break. It shortened. The distance between a television studio and a combat order just collapsed to zero intermediaries who were not personally selected by the man giving the order. No reason was given. That is the tell. When someone is removed without explanation during a crisis, the explanation is the crisis itself. George either objected to something or was about to. The ground option. The power plant strikes. The Kharg raid. The escalation that turned a highway bridge in Karaj into rubble on the same day he was told to leave. Something in the next two weeks requires a chief who will not push back, and the Pentagon solved that problem by installing one trained as Hegseth’s aide. A former Fox News weekend host just fired a four-star general with combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, replaced him with his own former assistant, and did it during a live war in which the next decision could put American soldiers on Iranian soil for the first time in history. No hearing was held. No misconduct cited. The Army woke up on April 3 with a new chief it did not choose, in a war it did not start, preparing for a phase the previous chief apparently could not be trusted to execute. The question is not why George was fired. Every general in the building knows why. The question is what order is coming in the next fourteen days that required removing the one man in the chain of command who might have said no. The war has no perimeter. The chain of command has no objectors. And the next phase has no one left to stop it. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@phycodelix @amuse try flipping a coin on an airplane. you will start to figure it out.

@amuse U gottta be DUMB ASF to believe this shit. Hows a plane keeping up with earth orbiting the sun at 66,000 mph, while the solar sytem is shooting thru the mily way at 514,000 mph, and the milkyway is going 1.2million mph 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 u gotta have the mind of a child

MOON MISSION: Hope someone checked the math…

@TomMariaRicci @zerohedge lol this is nonsense

Or demand is exactly where it needs to be and OpenAI is playing offense. $20 is the price at which enterprise procurement stops requiring a committee meeting. Under $25/seat/month and most companies can expense it without going through IT. This is distribution strategy, not desperation. Get ChatGPT into corporate workflows at scale, make it sticky, then sell the API layer and enterprise tiers at real margins. Anthropic, Google, Microsoft are all watching this move very carefully right now.

OpenAI lowering annual price of ChatGPT Business from $25 to $20 per seat. Demand must be off the charts

@polidemitolog @tglass lol u guys have a pretty weak track record: central banking, colonialism, the slave trade, the china opium trade, two world wars, the holocaust, and lets not forget your current censorship and migrant invasion multi-crisis. we laugh at you and pity you at the same time.

@tglass We are telling you to be normal

Americans can't swallow the fact that their country is profiting from being in Europe, because they can't stomach the fact that their country is the hegemon and not an action movie hero sacrificing himself for others in need.

@wesselsHQ @AlexFinn so because you blew set up Google and Finn are the joke huh

@AlexFinn You say every release of anything is the greatest thing ever… clearly never tests anything…😬

Do you even understand what this means? An open source model just released that is: • Outperforms models 20x its size • Can run on a base model Mac Mini • Is AMERICAN 🇺🇸 If you have a base model Mac Mini you can have unlimited super intelligence on your desk. For free. Sonnet 4.5 was released 5 months ago In 5 months that level of intelligence went from frontier to free on your desk And not only that, can run on any basically any computer out there If you have even a remotely modern computer, do the following immediately: 1. Download LM Studio 2. Go to your OpenClaw and ask which of these new Gemma 4 models is best for your hardware 3. Have it walk you through downloading and loading it 4. Build apps with it knowing you are using your own personal, private super intelligence on your desk The people denying this is the future are so beyond lost.

@A_A_Toulkeridis @AlexFinn lol "always" you sound like the guy who said the internet was a fad

@AlexFinn Can we stop with these exaggerations already? Frontier models will always be cloud-based. There's no way anything the average consumer can buy matches the performance and capabilities of models that run on powerful data centers.

@RasmusJarlov lol you will need a nuclear umbrella. any plans?

As a European, I am not afraid that the USA will leave NATO. We already know that they do not have good intentions to Europe and that we, therefore, have to build our defence to be able to fight without the Americans. We are well on our way and it will happen a lot faster if the USA leaves NATO officially. Russia is too weak and small to be a long term threat to Europe. They simple can not match what we can produce. As long as we keep Ukraine from falling, Russia is also not a threat to us in the short term. So if the USA leaves NATO, it is simple for us: Keep Ukraine from falling at all costs and build up European defence and weapon production as fast as humanly possible. We can and we will do that and Europe will be absolutely fine and safe.

@HordeRedChaos @killemall2024 @steven_pifer lol we make the rules

@killemall2024 @steven_pifer because what usa did to iran is an unjustified aggression. did u expect help in that? nato is for defence not for attacking countries here and there

Yeah, Senator. Let’s dump 31 NATO allies who have sent troops to fight and die alongside ours, give us base access for power projection, and have doubled their defense spending in past 4 years. It will be so much fun dealing with Russia and China without them. 🙄

@steven_pifer if their response to China and Russia is as strong as it has been for Iran, we are in great shape

@TugPasbyLover @PinstripesX @Vikings you are missing out, these guys have all the flavors. truly a remarkable contribution.

@E30Sharp @PinstripesX @Vikings No you degenerate.

Honoring the culture, history, and contributions of Arab American communities!

@American_N3rd @KenKirtland17 well the boosters and main fuel tank don't go to space / lunar orbit so the picture is pretty weak

@KenKirtland17 Some people aren’t meant to live in a modern world… I imagine the freak out from electronic keyboard to piano for the rest of the NPC thinks like this person… 🤣

Can’t for the life of me understand this type of usage of AI. Our nation has an actual rocket sitting on the pad which we have invested billions into. Why not use a picture of it?

@TugPasbyLover @PinstripesX @Vikings of course they have!! haven't you been to a vape shop?

@PinstripesX @Vikings are you seriously trying to tell me that no Arab American has ever made a significant contribution?

@OldRichGamer @amuse there is no such thing as a "registered" gun in the US

@amuse I'm sure all those guns are perfectly legal and registered too!

GUN CONTROL: The United States doesn't have a gun problem...

@SteveKroll3 @amuse assimilating? they were mostly born here.

@amuse You're right. We have a non-assimilating cultural problem.

@QueenAguilera00 @amuse wrong again lol

@Alberto_Rizzi_ you are right, we care zero about you. Europe is the source of most evil in the history of the world.

No serious person in Europe actually believes the US will honour its Art. 5 commitment if Russia attacks any European country. That trust is long gone.

@wilksopinion @JonathanTurley no lol. how do you think that would even happen? secret service will be there.

@JonathanTurley Serious question? Can he be held in contempt if he makes a scene?

The President is on his way for his unprecedented visit to the Supreme Court...

@UStookit4tee5 @disclosetv uh you do realize the entire middle east mess is the result of France and England carving up the map after WW1....

@disclosetv Weird how all Israeli/US actions result in the suffering of Europe.

NOW - Starmer says, "It is now clear that the impact of this war will affect the future of our country," and that military planners will meet to discuss how to make Hormuz Strait accessible and safe after the war, "I do have to level with people on this. This will not be easy."

@Go_Crene @zerohedge BOT

@zerohedge Nvidia buying into Marvell while everyone is distracted by the war. Jensen does not make $2B moves quietly. Custom silicon and networking infrastructure for the next generation of AI data centers.

@alexstein99 to be fair, it seems like childless homosexuals are all fond of that place

Why is this childless homosexual at Disneyland?
