Why are we calling any employees of RT a “journalist” or a “correspondent?” I’m sorry to see anyone injured in conflict. But it’s important not to conflate journalists with that state-owned machine. Or any other.

Remarkable story from Denmark's nat'l broadcaster. "When Danish soldiers were flown to Greenland in January...they brought explosives so they could destroy, among other things, the runways in Nuuk & Kangerlussuaq [to] prevent US mil aircraft from landing" dr.dk/nyheder/indlan…

Denmark and allies were flying in blood products and preparing for blowing up the airstrips as Trump threatened Greenland in January. Surprising no-one the 'exercise' Arctic Endurance was in fact an active operation, planned since 2025 with France, Germany and Nordics (+UK?).

How does this war expense impact the Pentagon’s own urgent buying spree for autonomy, AI, software, millions of swarming drones, nuke modernization, space upgrades, not to mention the biggest personnel health care cost of any institution in America…?
Ruben Gallego@RubenGallego

At the height of combat the Iraq War cost around $140 Billion per year. If the Pentagon is asking for $200 billion they are asking for a long war. The answer is a simple no.

The Pentagon blackballed its own newspaper from covering its own press conference? Reminder, Stars & Stripes employees are US Army civilians. Their editorial independence is protected by Congress specifically to prevent political leaders from feeding troops propaganda.
Matthew Adams@MatthewAdams60

Stars and Stripes was not approved by the Pentagon to attend this press conference. I will be be watching it on a screen instead. Seems a bit odd since the Pentagon published a memo with changes to the newspaper, including content overhaul.

@DanLamothe There are bases named after slavers. This could be interesting. The anti-“woke” police hated that a ship was named for Chavez. But they also hate removing unseemly names from things. Do they remove the name to own the libs or leave the name to own the libs?
