This is the guy who made that map. He's been rotting a CCP gulag for the last four years (assuming he's still alive) for making that map. Jacob Pius is a staunch Roman Catholic..

@Johnny_Joey Iran... you just got .... Thunderstruck!

We’re in a serious fight. Every move should push us forward. At moments like this, the country has to stay aligned behind its leadership. That’s how you win. USA! USA!! USA!!!

@amplify137 Crew of 20. Plus the bulk of the water on the ship goes to the machinery. They are not designed to sit for three weeks at anchor.

@SariArhoHavren Oh man. This is called overthinking.

China has repeatedly dismissed Trump’s G2 idea, which means that Xi is not allowing Trump to define China’s status. Against this backdrop, it is hard to see how postponing the meeting would shift the power balance in Trump's favour. And doesn't the delay actually work for both, economic détente and talks continue. What's the rush?

@Estebandurria @vtchakarova We took over the place a couple of times..

@vtchakarova But Americans doesn't know the size of Europe neither.

Twice and half the size of Ukraine, three times the size of France, nearly four times the size of Iraq and twice the size of Afghanistan.

@pharout73 @vtchakarova Qeshm

@vtchakarova Only land you might take is Karg Island to control oil and maybe the coast near the Straits (only to sweep for weapons) without an intention to hold. Besides we might want to drop off some weapons for the populace

@vtchakarova In fact, it's been done before...

@vtchakarova Doesn't mean it couldn't be done...

Monitoring the situation with an Alcopop...it's just what I DO!

@RickJ210 @USN_Submariner Probably shouldn't be talking about it on tweeter!😸

@USN_Submariner @WarrenPlatts Very well explained. Thanks

OTD in 1961: USS Permit (SSN 594) gets her sonar sphere at Mare Island.

@DoggyDog1208 The larger truth is the Chinese do not give a fig for basic fishery management. This is why Doggy has to travel to the United States in order to do a little fishing. Because the fishing in China has been destroyed because of zero fisheries management!

Norway’s krill catch is over +60% of the world’s total. China’s is ~15%. There are 5.65 Norwegians.

The experts have always been wrong about the WartHog ( I was a young AF E-1 when the first one landed at my first base), just like they were about the B-1 being used for the conventional missions its flying every day now ... the experts are almost always wrong in this arena. Long live the brrrrtt

@vtchakarova Oh calm down1!

The worst is yet to come

@GeorgeDienhart @WarrenVsCCP Jeez. I hope not. But you're probably right..

@WarrenPlatts @WarrenVsCCP Bullet in the back of the head.

Does anything actually work in China 🇨🇳? China 🇨🇳’s top fighter jet designer gets scrubbed and disappears. No explanation. No transparency. That’s how the system works: When something goes wrong, the person vanishes. Not accountability — just erasure. scmp.com/news/china/mil…

Same with China, Rusia and and Spain...🤷🏻‍♂️

@SariArhoHavren Look. The Americans need balanced trade. Actually we need a modest surplus to unwind the NIIP/GDP ratio. As I've said before, this is nothing personal. It's just business.. It's not our job to be the consumer of last resort.

“They're calling me up, they’re kissing my ass”.

I’m so sick and tired of this “wahhhhh indigenous ppl orf orchid island had their sacred land tainted by nuclear waste and hence Taiwan should never use nuclear energy again” nonsense 1) it’s low level waste so non-radioactive your Geiger counter gives a higher reading in Taipei main station than orchid island. 2)a lot of it is medical waste. You want to be consistent? Don’t just stop using nuclear power in shame. Stop using x-rays too since medical waste also violated orchid island. 3) many are the anti nuclear activists complaining on the orchid islanders behalf. Actual orchid islanders have more pragmatic views when interviewed. 4) ok. Go ahead and take all the waste at orchid island and put it in a landfill on main island. Isn’t that the maximally respectful thing to do? And guess what? Whether there or here the radioactivity remains minimal and not gonna hurt anybody. Fake indignation over a fake ass issue using minorities as props while not really doing anything to improve their actual lives. Be ashamed of yourself Robson for being such a wretched little wokey woke to resort to this dishonorable slop to prevent Taiwan from achieving even the barest modicum of energy sanity in a time of global crisis.

@mercoglianos @MagisFuturum @grok @DominicJPino The take on the Jones Act by kneejerk economists has more than anything reduced the credibility of genius economics theory... God if I hear one more story about Russian natural gas getting imported to Boston..... Ugh.

@MagisFuturum @grok I attached my response to @dominicjpino. The problem with his argument, along with many others, is the Jones Act is not why US shipbuilding has decreased. It has been a failure in overall American maritime policy since the end of World War Two. But what do I know?

1 in 25K ships. Really hard to see justification for keeping Section 27 but I'd like to steel man any reason there is. What little shipbuilding we have seems it could be supported by separate choice, especially re: gov/military ships. What is the case @grok? Reference the best supported arguments of proponents like @mercoglianos
