@GBNT1952 I have serious reservations about the AUKUS agreements. Specifically, the possible Virginia boat transfers. We might be better served assisting Japan and getting them to amend their constitution.

This is how you alienate all of your warfighters… What is happening in Australia?

@ForeverUtd93 @Real_Politik101 They are both out of service. So actively, you have ZERO.

@Real_Politik101 We have more aircraft carries that anyone else in Europe, we have the most powerful navy in Europe, we had to borrow a shit because of temporary maintenance we normally have a lot more also Argentina litreally barely have an army you fucking retard

If NATO is gone, Argentina is definitely invading to retake the Falkland Islands. With Chagos, Starmer completely torched the deterrence Thatcher built with the last war. And Milei could easily take it. Britain can’t do anything. No ships. Now all of LATAM now recognizes Malvinas as Argentina’s. With them also becoming one of America’s most loyal ally, chances are high the U.S. stays out and lets it happen

@agave_redux Why is there more than four ingredients in the freshly baked, non-shelf stable, bread? Flour, water, salt and yeast. WTF else do you need to make French or Italian bread?

Why is there soybean oil in wheat bread when it absolutely doesn't need to be.

@Arrogance_0024 No amount of criticizing the tactical decisions of the U.S. is gonna make the military capabilities of Europe not suck.

The "leave no man behind" doctrine is actually a strategic weakness disguised as a virtue. Name one other military on earth that destroys 6 aircraft and fights a ground battle inside a sovereign nation to recover one pilot. You can't. Because no other military confuses tactical sentimentality with strategic logic. Soldiers serve the mission. The mission doesn't serve the soldier. The US has now established that Iran can shoot down an F-15, then watch America spend $300M and expose Delta Force trying to prove it didn't happen. That's not military doctrine. That's politics with weapons. A military that cannot accept the risk of loss cannot win wars. The US hasn't won one since 1945.

@sethmoulton @realDonaldTrump To kill the baddies and hopefully stop them from getting weapons that can destroy all of Salem, MA ... in an instant. You know, the ones that keep saying "Death to America!!!" Are you dense?

Why was this incredibly dangerous mission worth American lives, @realDonaldTrump? We still don’t even know why we’re fighting this war.

The Artemis II crew is taking pictures & doing observations as they approach the Moon. From the audio feed they seem to be very excited by the visuals. Meanwhile back on Earth, on the official NASA feed, we get this blurry image all afternoon.

@Duane55178671 @Angry_Staffer I agree, but you also have active duty military posting videos to social media that expose either opsec or classified material. The discipline is not good.

@Angry_Staffer Retired or other discharged military should sign a 50 year NDA. The NDA should be specific about the details of what can not be disclosed. Violation of the NDA should be punishment of loss of all retirement benefits and/or prison time of mandatory 3 years.

A note to ex pilots, SOF guys, etc: Maybe shut the fuck up about the intricacies of SERE training. It’s great that the WSO was able to escape and evade, but you don’t have to tell everyone how.

@jasonrichardson @Angry_Staffer Lots of stuff in Jane's is wild conjecture and complete bullshit. ... you subhuman.

@Angry_Staffer Like the entire SERE syllabus isn’t already in JANES you subhuman.

@VahnAeris @HaroldWren22 Quit your day job immediately! You are clearly a comic genius.

@HaroldWren22 France could wipe out 60% of the U.S. even if it were completely destroyed, in fact France is the only country in the world that is truly a danger to the US. You're intellectually impotent.

You depend on us for your security, your energy, your economy. All we have to do is withdraw our support. That’s what you arrogant Europeans pretend isn’t reality. The more arrogant you are, the more Americans decide to let you wither on the vine without us. And to answer your question, if we DID bomb you, what would you do about it? You’re militarily impotent.

@Kingofnowher_e We did it hundreds of time during WWII and after. Its what Sea Bees specialize in.

🇫🇷🇺🇸🇮🇷 A French general at Trump’s plan to build a runway inside Iran to fly out uranium under active bombing: “American officials should stop snorting cocaine between meetings.”

@Landeur @CynicalPublius You can't "outsource" something you didn't pay for.

@CynicalPublius Please just take your bases and leave. Europe needs to stand on its own two feet, for sure. We outsourced our security to America. But that outsourcing was a catastrophe. The entire continent has been invaded and destroyed under your 'protection'. For the love of God, go.

457 British soldiers died in Afghanistan, many more wounded. Why? Because America came under attack and we answered the call. If you treat allies who bled for you with such utter disdain, you will lose them for good. Even those who generally like America.

@Arrogance_0024 We can make more planes. Why can't you grasp this?

Lose all this to rescue 1 pilot and call it your greatest military success of all time.

@okamisyousa No one left behind. Ever. For those for which recovery isn't possible as a matter of course we honor them explicitly. In the Submarine Force we say they are on "Eternal Patrol."

米軍の仲間は絶対見捨てない精神はマジパネェと思う

@CurtisLemay @infantrydort @DailyMail Curtis Lemay's ghost sounds kind of scoldy.

@infantrydort @DailyMail This your commander?

@Girlfeelings666 @Osint613 Why do you care? You're from Africa. It ain't your money. Here in the US, we value the life of a single airman over a mountain of equipment. EVERYBODY COMES HOME!

They rescued the crew, sure but had to torch their own aircraft to avoid capture. That’s not a clean victory, that’s damage control in the middle of enemy territory. So let me get this straight deep inside Iran, forward base exposed, aircraft stuck… and the solution is to blow them up? Does that sound like control, or a mission barely held together??

Photos show charred remains of two U.S. C‑130s in southern Iran, destroyed by U.S. forces after Special Forces rescued a downed F‑15E crew from a temporary forward operations base used in last night’s mission.

@senatorbabet What about real anon accounts?

If you have a fake anon account and you use it to express opinion on X you are the lowest form of pond scum. Every bad thing happening in the west is your fault. You are a coward. Unfollow me.

Everybody is already blaming the USA for the Strait of Hormuz being closed. Therefore, I propose that we mine the strait just for fun. It wouldn’t change anyone’s opinion of us, we don’t need the oil, Iran would immediately beg to open the strait, and it would be very funny.

@MilspecMoses @WadeMiller Spot on.

@WadeMiller Now understand what our possession of 75-90% of chinas oil supply will do to china. This war is about enforcing us hegemony

Based on the ongoing cultural and civilizations suicide occurring in Europe, I don’t think that the EU will be a major power. I think it will backslide into irrelevance. It’s one reason I want to unshackle us from Europe, so they don’t take us down with them.

@gllisse2026 @esrtweet Aircraft carriers aren't "dicks." They are naval air power projection devices. They are essential for sea lane control. And no drones and hypersonics have not made them obsolete.

@BubbleheadLogic @esrtweet You are playing at who's got the biggest dick. What's the point ? Up to now, in Europe, our main threat could be Russia. We don't need huge aircraft carriers. Anyway, your aircraft carriers don't seem that overconfident to get any closer to Iran

Hello, Europeans. The first thing you need to understand about the rant I'm about to utter is that I'm not MAGA, not a Trumpite, but a libertarian who has in the past nevertheless been strongly supportive of US military presence overseas. Because I want the wars that defend this country to be fought in somebody else's country, as far away from me as possible with a nice big ocean in the way. Also relevant: I have a history of having lived in Europe and traveled there extensively. I was at one time bilingual in English and Spanish, and have been passably fluent in Italian and French as well. I could probably still find my way around London and Rome and central Paris reasonably well. So if you're tempted to tell yourselves that I'm some kind of parochial American hick, abandon that hope. All that was set-up. So that, when I tell you that almost the entirety of the US electorate, not just Trump supporters, is increasingly fed up with your shit, take me seriously. We've been cleaning up your messes and keeping the sea lanes open since 1917. And that was for you, not us - we, being very close to resource self-sufficient, don't need that investment so much. We've spent enormous amounts of blood and treasure on keeping you safe. We risked nuclear hellfire on our own cities for nearly 50 years to keep Soviet tanks from rolling through the Fulda Gap. Even since the Cold War ended, we've subsidized your socialist-playpen welfare states and disastrous immigration policies by taking the need to maintain militaries more effective than a sack of wet farts off the table. Now we've come looking for help keeping a bunch of rabid Islamic fanatics from getting nuclear weapons that are a clear and present danger to all of you even more than they are to us, and what do we hear? "Waah! It's another Republican president we don't like, just like the last half dozen of them! So we're going to sulk in a corner, except when we're biting at your ankles with crap like airspace restrictions." No. No, we're not going to take this anymore. It's not just conservatives who have had enough, it's moderates and people who used to be strong supporters of liberal internationalism. Our citizen's willingness to pay higher taxes to protect you was upward-bounded by your gratitude. Now that we know your gratitude has effectively gone to zero, so does our willingness. Don't expect this to change if the Democrats take power here. They are much less liberal-internationalist than Republicans now. While they might make mouth noises that soothe you, their overriding concern is the gaping, insatiable maw of their income transfer programs. They'll sacrifice subsidizing Europe's playpen socialism to feed their domestic version in a heartbeat. And there is no longer any significant Democratic constituency to argue against that. In truth, three decades after the Cold War ended there is no American constituency at all for the massive subsidies you get. It frankly surprises me they lasted this long, that we were this patient with your cowardice and your bitchy whining. This moment has been a long time coming. It's not Donald Trump sinking the transatlantic alliance, it is absolutely you.
