Reminder. I’m a nerd. I like to stay at home, play games, do house things… If you annoy me enough to make me break that pattern, you’re doing it wrong.

@Spectre_Report @warsurv Hence ‘determined to push the FO part of the equation’. Guess they are about to find out… lots of that going around.

@JerodTrd @warsurv I dont. They were in the 35 program until they said they were going to buy the S400 from Russia. The US said if they did they would be removed and Turley called our bluff.

@Spectre_Report @warsurv I’d feel sorry for the Turkish government, but they seem to be determined to choose the FO part of the equation.

@x1r__x1r @king_raj____ @Lovandfear I just got a preliminary diagnosis of severe ADHD, and this is a thing that has been going on for my whole life. I call it a crap indexing system, but subjects I am familiar with the access is faster. Unfortunately, it tends to get muddled together. Takes untangling.

I love people with ADHD because they never actually forget anything. You just have to say the right words to activate them like a sleeper cell and then they awaken with all of the knowledge on a very niche subject they studied for 3 months straight 6 years ago.

Even as the eclipse claims the moon. Even as the lesser light goes dark… the darkness will not hold. The light will return. It cannot claim me, and I will continue.

@OldManJim9 @HLC_actual Damnit. I wanted to see the world react to the chaos an F-22 would unleash. Instead, more marketing for the F-35, which my country isn’t trusted to buy, and is too poor/broke/under equipped to ever field. I mean, fantastic plane… maximum jealousy.

@NYMetsRallyBird @johnkonrad @FreightAlley Dude… The EU announced a ‘surge’ to reinforce Greenland, and they couldn’t be bothered to send more than 2 dozen people. Admittedly, the Greenland thing was drama and hyperbole, but the EU couldn’t find 2 dozen soldiers for a symbolic reinforcing? Failed protests beat that!

You don’t understand. I’ve watched a ton of congressional defense hearings. In EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. the Admirals and Generals say “we are only strong because of our allies.” At first I believed it. Then I started attending defense conferences overseas. I watched U.S. GOFOs get treated like royalty. Five-star hotels. Wined and dined. Told how great they are for “being such great allies.” The pattern became obvious. Europeans spend lavishly on ego-boosting, awards dinners, and fine wine… and in exchange, every GOFO goes home and tells Congress how indispensable our allies are. And our “allies” save a fortune on defense. Then a buddy got a job at European Command and confirmed everything—except it wasn’t just GOFOs. There are entire departments of people working in “intelligence” who are basically travel agents for generals and members of Congress. Then I started digging into the UN. Guess what? They hold a massive number of “security” conferences too—except most of theirs are in straight-up resort towns. Then I got inside a few think tanks. You want to see posh surroundings and excellent wine and food? Buddy up with them. I started posting about all this a few years ago and got MASSIVE pushback—which I knew meant I was on the right track. But I still wasn’t 100% sure. Most of it was grift, but maybe some parts were essential… until Midnight Hammer. Then Maduro. Now this. My European friends were totally blindsided by all of it. And guess what? We performed better without these great “allies.” Why? Going all the way back to Korea, one thing has remained true: Europeans don’t fully trust us—and they like having a little power over us. So they are absolute sticklers for Rules of Engagement. They wine and dine our JAGs. They hold endless conferences about “the rule of law” to reinforce the “importance of ROEs.” And ROEs are what kills our military. Nobody is suggesting soldiers should do anything immoral. Nobody is saying there shouldn’t be consequences for atrocities. What I am saying is that having a battalion of JAGs and a dozen allied nations—each with their own ROEs—breathing down every commander’s neck is why we lose wars. That includes Vietnam, where most “allies” refused to fight but every one of them put serious diplomatic pressure on DC to tighten ROEs. All of this “allies are our strength” dogma gets reinforced at these conferences, at war colleges, by European-influenced media, and through think tanks. The reason we’re suddenly so effective is because @PeteHegseth has cut all this out. Our allies are flying blind. They can’t throw up a million legal objections because they don’t know the details behind these missions any sooner than we do. Just look at Starmer’s body language. He’s clueless. And it’s not just our allies that no longer get to micromanage everything but media and UN diplomats and think tanks and bureaucrats and more. Now if we could just cut Congress off from this “allies are great” grift, we could probably start passing legislation too. P.S. I see no signs of Hegseth or DoW weakening our allies or alliances. They genuinely seem to want Europe to be stronger. They just aren’t asking permission anymore or giving allies veto power over everything like before.

@OrbitingGod @Strange_G Is it guaranteed? No. But they have a chance. Now the deaths of their people may actually lead to freedom for their people. It may not, but the chance has not been this good before. But sure. Keep telling us we should be worried about their allies, and how effective they are.

@OrbitingGod @Strange_G Instead of something that funds terrorism in every other country. Instead of selling drone weapon systems to Russia to use against Ukraine, and trading cheap oil to China for parts, they can choose a new path for their nation… Instead of continuing to chant ‘death to America’.

@OrbitingGod @Strange_G If they are stupid enough to do that after the last few years? There’s gonna be some really good HLC videos as Buff gets to do landscaping. Stop being afraid of fanatical adherents of a religion that thinks dying in Jihad makes them good people after doing garbage human things.

@Strange_G Oh, that’s not the hard part for me. He’d made some powerful enemies with his threats… The fact that the retaliation for his death angered his neighbours so much that they stopped preventing Americans from using their bases for operations against Iran surprised me.

Khamenei in the afterlife: George Washington walks up to him and kicks him so hard in the nuts they explode. "How dare you threaten my nation!" he bellows. While Khamenei's writhing on the ground, Thomas Jefferson walks over and stomps on his head, shattering his jaw. "You asshole!" cries Jefferson. While Khamenei's trying to get his feet under him Light Horse Harry Lee pulls out his sabre and runs him through a couple dozen times. "I fought fair, you coward! You targeted children!" As another huge American stalks over, Khamenei, holding his jaw together, cries out "Wait wait!" An angel appears. "Yes?" he asks. Khamenei wails incoherently, "It's not supposed to BE like this!" The angel says, "Well, you see, the Quran had a slight error when it was transcribed. It turns out that you meet 72 VIRGINIANS in the afterlife."

@Strange_G Oh, I won’t lie and say I feel any sympathy for him. He deserved to die like a dog, my only regret is that he probably died very quickly, and not at the hands of the people he oppressed for decades, or after being charged for his abominable crimes in a free Iranian court.

🚫The Iranian regime claims to have killed 50 U.S. service members. LIE. ✅There have been no reported U.S. casualties. 🚫The IRGC claims that a U.S. Navy ship was struck by missiles. LIE. ✅No U.S. Navy ship has been struck. The Armada is fully operational. 🚫The Iranian regime is claiming severe damage at multiple U.S. bases. LIE. ✅Damage to U.S. installations was minimal and has not impacted operations.
