@SpiesVespers I know what they're going for, but it looks more like Scrappy is auditioning for a role in a new version of Escape from New York. Better legs than Kurt Russell, too...

In the urban hellscape of NYC...

@IvanaTucak @SpiesVespers Journos, aid workers, people simply travelling through the wrong place at the wrong time (good evening, CCP), sportspeople whose arrest can bring press attention and force a govt to give a criminal like Viktor Bout back... The list is long, unfortunately.

@SpiesVespers Spy history often includes not just spies, but also journalists operating in sensitive regions.

@RandyBurgard @vgmcgovern @SHiggenson59363 @EdKrassen Ahh, sometimes it's just fun to stir up the bot's followers.

@vgmcgovern @SHiggenson59363 @EdKrassen No point in arguing with a bot farmed out of a foreign country

BREAKING: Fox News just reported that Pete Hegseth fired United States Secretary of the Navy John Phelan because Phelan would not ignore a federal judge's orders! "Hegseth and Phelan reportedly butted heads when Phelan refused to ignore a recent federal judge’s ruling that said punishing Senator Mark Kelly for making a video which he reminded military officers of their constitutional duty to not to not follow illegal orders would violate his First Amendment rights."

@derickfoursure @SHiggenson59363 @vgmcgovern @EdKrassen Hey, hey now. No need for that kind of discrimination; he may well be both. 😉

@SHiggenson59363 @vgmcgovern @EdKrassen Are you friggin’ high or just plain stupid ?

@parrotpati @SHiggenson59363 @vgmcgovern @EdKrassen Something tells me it doesn't come from speaking to many soldiers ..

@SHiggenson59363 @vgmcgovern @EdKrassen How do you know all this?

@SHiggenson59363 @vgmcgovern @EdKrassen Inconvenient stats re happiness of armed forces: 'The scores for Air Force workers dropped from 67 to 38.5; Army, from 70.3 to 48.1; and the defense secretary’s office, the Joint Staff and other fourth-estate organizations, from 63.6 to 40.6.' defenseone.com/policy/2026/03….

No one said they had to like it. They just have to do it. And yes our soldiers are much happier and are provided much more respect than under previous administrations. Recruiting is way ahead of goals. Honestly, I dont see what poll numbers have anything to do with this. The president does whatever he believes is in the best interests of this country. Judgement comes on election day. 80% of people support the save act yet the senate has not voted on it. Maybe we should kick them out too?

@SHiggenson59363 @EdKrassen Well, there have been two men formally titled Secretary of War since '45: Robert Patterson and Kenneth Royal (3 months) Not a huge crowd of competitors, but Hegseth's actual title is Sec Def, absent a change of law by Congress. Hegseth would still trail in 3rd if he was.

Hegseth is the best secretary of war we have had Since WWII. Him and Trump and built the best fighting force we have ever had. Our soldiers are killing machines, they love what they are doing, and they are treated with full respect. Trump and Hegseth should keep doing exactly what they are doing.

@SpiesVespers @ArnoldBogis "Hustlin' backwards", the pair of them, as @bomani_jones would say.

@ArnoldBogis It seems neither one of them were very good at whatever it was they were doing.

Help me out here: the guy is mad cause he believes he got rolled for $40,000? Basically the price of a semi-fancy Birkin bag?

@RichardGrampy @original_katman @EYakoby Israel's intentions with regard to the Palestinian people. To cut this rant short, yes Jewish people have suffered centuries of discrimination and murder - in Europe and elsewhere. This, however, doesn't give the modern state carte blanche to inflict similar depredations.

@RichardGrampy @original_katman @EYakoby , a term used in the breakup of the former Yugoslavia and one US officials were instructed to use in reference to the events in Rwanda, or whether it's seen simply as legal cover for the crime of genocide, comments from the likes of Smotrich and Ben-Givr, cast a paper over .../4

BREAKING: The Islamic Republic is preparing to hang eight women. Not a word from the international community or so-called human rights organizations.

@RichardGrampy @original_katman @EYakoby military necessity, humanity and the need to take precautionary measures to minimise civilian harm. Hamas' tendency to operate from within civilian areas doesn't obviate the need to adhere to each off these measures under the Law of Armed Conflict. .../2

@SpiesVespers A worthy entry, indeed.

TOO OBSCURE TO MATTER Nutty charlatan astrology Louis De Wohl was hired by Brits during WWII to spread disinformation. At one point he claimed Charles Lindbergh's murdered son was alive and "..being raised in a Nazi school in East Prussia to become a future fuhrer."

@SpiesVespers That was the ultimate research project: Hypothesis: 'Military officers/officials are too smart and well trained to talk about things they shouldn't on social media.' Conclusion: Oops, I didn't account for the social media account having a pretty face...

Sorry ladies, my heart belongs to Robin Sage.

@Ron__Jon8s @JimmyHeritor @PatConroy1 @DefenceAust @AustralianArmy Do these people think the role of Chief of Army is to pick up a rifle and lead every charge from the trenches in 2026? What is this nonsense? I suppose when you have no evidence on which to base a foolish opinion, you grasp at anything...

@JimmyHeritor @PatConroy1 @DefenceAust @AustralianArmy Lots of cowards who’ve tried this week to sledge Gen Coyle, were never “battle tested” or know how it’s irrelevant to CoA. Like you, too cowardly to bother to research her military career? Or fact check Gen Leahy’s combat experience? They just chose to make fools of themselves.

From enlisting as a soldier in 1987. To commanding at every rank she has held across her Army and Joint staff appointments. Lieutenant General Susan Coyle is Australia’s next Chief of Army.

@Pedlar56230 @PatConroy1 @DefenceAust @AustralianArmy Let's be honest, that's the kind of statement an idiot who has no idea of General Coyle's career, and one who's probably a mysogonist to boot. Susan Coyle | The Cove share.google/ZTRbSswQOEfM6B…

@PatConroy1 @DefenceAust @AustralianArmy How about someone that is more capable and experienced in the areas they need to be though ? She's going to be a DEI hire. Lets be honest.

@Eddiebdassdavis @DaleJansse77267 @r3tarddownunder Very small penises and brains that envy those tiny organs because they're even tinier.

@DaleJansse77267 @r3tarddownunder The post is to spread hate.

Chief of the Australian Army. Australian Federal Police Commissioner. Australia is retarded.

@SpiesVespers 'The face that launched a thousand conspiracy theories'? Where's Christopher Marlowe when you need him?

OTD April 13, 1953 Allen Dulles authorizes MKULTRA project and in the process launches a thousand conspiracy theories.

@SpiesVespers LOL. I imagine Ms. Psy War these days has to not only be 'able to pass inspection though out of uniform', but also has to be born with built-in ear pro to save deafness from Metallica and Black Sabbath being belted out at about 999 dB.

I'm certain this seemed like a good idea at the time.
