Can Nato actually be reformed from within? Green Party leader Zack Polanski discusses his proposal with Ciaran Jenkins.

Just an annual reminder that this is one major way they subverted our most holy holidays to remove Christ from them and turn them into consumerist slop.

When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space shuttle flights at NASA, and every day since I retired – which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents. In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets. At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle, and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Columbia. I did all of this in service to this country that I love and has given me so much. Secretary Hegseth’s tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President’s posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death. If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.

Liz Truss on Fox News supporting Trump suing the BBC "There are lots of people in Britain who are cheering President Trump on and want him to sue the BBC" "Because they're a huge problem: they've lied, they've cheated, they've fiddled with footage" "Both in the case of President Trump but also covering up what's happening in Britain, whether it's mass migration, our economic problems, they are always bias towards the left" "And the British taxpayer has to pay for all of this fake news" "There is a lot of excitement against Conservatives in Britain that President Trump is actually taking the BBC on" Fox News, "Do you think an apology from the BBC is enough?" Liz Truss, "No I don't because they ke"ep doing it again and again" "They have painted a completely false picture of President Trump in Britain over a number of years" "They've done the same thing about Conservatives in our country" "And I believe the organisation needs to be defunded" "And as well as suing the BBC, I think it would be fantastic is President Trump were to encourage stopping the British taxpayer funding" "Fake news is damaging the countries reputation" "I mean the BBC used to be the paragon of journalism across the world, it was respected. It's now become a laughing stock and it needs to be put out of it's misery"

The new US Army Tank Platoon Tactics Manual shows an incredible ignorance of the realities of FPV warfare. Apparently a platoon has lots of time on sighting an FPV to make hand signals, close hatches, signal HQ, and change formation. In the real world, they will have seconds. 1/
