I could not remember anyone attempting it and went off to Wikipedia. I had never,ever considered this.

@DastDn 4. He doesn’t get to make those decisions. 5. Ask Thiel.

Either 1. Vance, being a thoroughly mid politician, hasn't yet figured out that optimal outcome for him is for the US to win decisively in Iran AND be perceived to have decisively won. 2. His conversion to Tuckerism is too sincere to allow him to go full-booster. 3. Both.

Japanese PM: Tomorrow is the birthday of your son, Mr. Barron Trump, and I know he has grown up so much into a very tall, good looking gentleman. As I see you, Donald, it is very clear where he got it. There’s no doubt about it.

Periodic reminder that this little antisemitic creature that calls itself “Mother Agapia” is in fact George Stephanopoulos’ sister Anastasia

@Microinteracti1 What exactly do you think Ukrainian F-16s and Mirages are doing? x.com/Bricktop_NAFO/…

Right. So let me get this straight. The most expensive military on the planet, a institution that consumes more money annually than the GDP of most countries, looked at a twenty thousand dollar drone and said, yes, the correct response to this is a four hundred thousand dollar missile. Twenty times the cost. They did the maths and thought, brilliant, let’s do that. Repeatedly. And then, magnificently, one week in, they rang Ukraine. Ukraine. The country their own president had just finished publicly flogging in the Oval Office like a Victorian schoolmaster with a particularly dim pupil. Trump stood there, chest out, that extraordinary hair doing whatever it does, and announced to the assembled cameras of the world that Ukraine was absolutely the last country he would ever consider asking for help. Seven days later, someone in the Pentagon picked up the phone. The truly staggering part is not the incompetence. Incompetence is everywhere, it’s practically ambient at this point. No, what takes your breath away is the confidence. These people were not quietly embarrassed and privately regrouping. They were strutting. Full chest, full volume, telling the world how this was going to go. It did not go that way. Ukraine, the country they don’t need, is now apparently quite necessary. Remarkable.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Stay connected, Gandalv @Microinteracti1

@maria_drutska More directly,defeat the mullahs and stop Iranian munitions from reaching Ukraine

It is very much Ukraine's business - Ukrainian drone experts sent to defend Gulf, not Ukr - Oil above $100, despite 400M global reserve + 140M Iranian oil released, 540M < 6 days global demand, SoH still closed - Sanctions lifted, russian profit up, more money for war

@amerpipedream Royal Tiger sold them for $2k a few years ago. I don’t know to whom,Simpson Ltd always has much nicer examples for around the same price if not a little less.

Where is this warehouse. Trust me I won’t do anything with this information

@ZeusHastam May his memory be a blessing

@ClassicGIJoe This “feature” worked a little too well. Figures couldn’t easily easily be positioned to man the machine guns without knocking the thing apart

The Cobra Bunker from 1985.

@Smith_WessonInc ASPs. You should build ASPs.

so should we bring back the 3rd gens or what?

@TheMafiaPoint Every scene with De Niro and Stone drags because there is no chemistry to make them interesting but other than that,sure.

Is Casino just as good as Goodfellas?

@TheMindScourge A decade? The Air Force was wanting A-16s to replace it before the Cold War was even over.

DoD has been trying to cancel the A-10 for more than a decade. It’s still in service. Congress loves the idea of a flying cannon that fires shells the size of 12oz Coke bottle The fact that it’s now hunting fast boats in the Gulf means that it’s now immortal; they’re never canceling that thing

@GunloverClub1 So you think anyone gets to call a time out and throw their hands up when a Hellfire or JDAM is on its way? Nah. This guy bought the ticket when he signed his contract and he doesn’t get off the ride until it comes to a full stop.

Why This Feels Like a War Crime? In any other era, if you were out of ammo or cornered, there was a slim chance of surrender or a "fair" end. But you can't surrender to a kamikaze drone. It doesn't have a heart, it doesn't take prisoners, and it doesn't understand mercy.

@SeanKiernan_WFW @marcthiessen Yes but the main mission of it is mine warfare. It can offer ships and crews that are already well trained in interoperability with other NATO countries. BALTOPS happens every year to assure this.

@marcthiessen How desperate does this sound? With only seven commissioned ships and displacement well under 10,000 tonnes, the Estonian Navy is one of the smallest navies in the world.

This is what a real ally says

@JohannaNyman5 Trump is temporary. Nations need to think and act in their long term interests. A free,democratic Iran that isn’t engaging in aggression against it’s neighbors and non-neighbors would be in everyone’s best interests. The war has started,question is how it ends.

So the U.S. expects that just a few weeks after they threatened to take Greenland by force from Denmark, and after abandoning Ukraine—and thus NATO’s eastern flank—we should rush into their unplanned war against Iran? The entitlement is nauseating.

@cdrsalamander Laughing at what? Killing former allies or at the funerals for Americans who would have died for an impossibly stupid idea?

@MattRebane No one is mad. We’re laughing.

If this is true, which I doubt, then I would recommend that the entire Danish diplomatic and national security nomenklatura who is responsible for U.S. facing concerns be invited to pursue excellence elsewhere in the economy because they are sh1tty in their present jobs—a danger to themselves and others. I am sure they are like some of the earnest Euro nomenklatura I met while a NATO staff officer: their view of the U.S. is strictly limited to what they read from WaPo, NYT, or derived sources. Their American friends, should they have any, represent the intellectual diversity to be found in liberal arts colleges from DC to Boston, with California for geographical diversity. They don’t know the U.S., just a parody of it.

@LeonardMJoyner @cdrsalamander Russia and China currently have no ability,or a seeming desire, to seize Greenland and you know this.

@MattRebane @cdrsalamander “Defend,” but against who? They get all hot-and-bothered about the US, but Russia and the CCP… meh.

@cobracommandr15 I think it was calculated,that he saw how much Infowars was bringing in and reckoned the Sandy Hook lawsuit would allow him to take that all for his own,plus everyone he dragged in from Fox.

@cobracommandr15 He was budget Bill Buckley then transitioned to an O’Reilly clone when Obama created a huge demand for that material. That got oversaturated so to distinguish himself from every other FNC host saw an opportunity to take the Alex Jones market segment.

Tucker Carlson’s precipitous decline never surprised me because he always seemed like Dollar Store Bill O’Reilly.

@carlbildt He’s not actually mad at Putin. He’s mad that Ukraine wasn’t defeated in a few weeks and even if a truce freezes the war 5 minutes from now Russians have nothing to be proud about. If it had cost a million Russian lives and Ukraine no longer existed he’d be plenty happy.

Previous pro-Kremlin 🇷🇺 blogger Ilya Remeslo has turned around and published a damming indictment of Putin and his policies. It’s powerful stuff.
