@larisamlbrown No part of your military matters if you lack a navy. How many fools are there in the UK government?

That’s a hard no.
On a scale of 1-10, where would you rank Rama Duwaji as a model? ⬇️

Author and DJ Zakia Sewell is using British folk culture to challenge far-right nationalism.
Sewell has journeyed around the British Isles exploring Britain’s folk resurgence for her debut book, Finding Albion: Myth, Folklore and the Quest for a Hidden Britain.
Finding Albion builds on Sewell’s hit audio series for BBC Radio 4, which saw her seek out a different, more inclusive idea of “Britishness” beyond the usual national myths and symbols.

@TheCalvinCooli1 Kiley was just another in a long life of stealth Democrats that ran as Republicans to get elected.

🚨Report: California Independent Congressman Kevin Kiley told Stephen A. Smith that he could caucus with the Democrats if he is re-elected and if they take control of the House
Kiley is a former Republican who left the party because of the California Redistricting Map

@Johnny_Joey The army would be more than happy to take them off the air force's hands. I say, screw Key West and grab them. You know the air force is never going to be their when the army needs close air support.

For those of you not familiar.
The A-10 Warthog is the ugliest, most absurdly beautiful killing machine to ever take flight. A flying chunk of titanium molded around a gatlin gun style cannon; the equally absurd 30mm GAU-8.
It commands the adoration of troops on the ground as the sound of its unmistakable mating call the “brrrrrrp” overhead means several enemy fighters have been neutralized.
It flies low and slow delivering death more intimately than any other fighter jet could fathom.
Cloaked in armor, it’s rumored to be able to take damage to 70% of its airframe and still land with ease. It doesn’t need a long or even paved runway.
The uppity nerds running the Air Force have decided to “phase them out” this year… yet here they are continuing to “get some”.
I personally think that @USMC should take the them over… they fit perfectly in our “take old shit and make it great” culture.

Chairman of the JCS Gen. Dan Caine: "The A-10 Warthog is now in the fight across the southern flank and is hunting and killing fast attack watercraft in the Straits of Hormuz."

@craigbrucesmith It's the Washington Post, a bastion of fascist propaganda. You expected honest reporting from them?

So Caesar Rodney who went on a “midnight ride” to Philadelphia to vote for independence (breaking a deadlock for Delaware) and then became a signer of the Declaration of Independence will be commemorated for the 250th anniversary and this is the headline?

@ClownWorld This was a set-up. She knew she'd catch him. I don't like this. She knew he'd smell it and he wouldn't be able to help himself. If im the judge, I not only find him Not Guilty, I order she buys him a bucket of fried chicken. Catching blacks with fried chicken is unsportsmanslike.

Neighbor stole her Wingstop right off the doorstep minutes after delivery. Doorbell camera caught everything
Now she's pressing charges and suing. All over some wings
Hope the wings were good 😭

@MThomasOTF Mitchell wasn't saying anything that others like Douhet, Trenchard and other air power advocates were saying. It was a popular trend to believe air power would make ground warfare obsolete and put naval vessels at grave risk.
English
My allusion wasn't even about specifically airpower.
It was about one officer with the guts to speak out against the entrenched bureaucracy and put both his name and career on the line to refocus the US military on warfighting. He saw what was coming and did something about it.
Alan@Alan7098
@ed_gethane @WPerry1151 @MThomasOTF I'm pointing out that analysis about the use of air power, at sea or elsewhere, is often misstated or misunderstood and sometimes rank propaganda. Stick your head back in the ground if you can't understand that.

Qatar's PM claims “everyone knows who the main beneficiary of [the Iran] war is” but social media is more interested in the camera angle than his pleas for the war to end.

🚨 BREAKING: 🚨The Maricopa County Board of Elections has come forward to issue an apology to President Trump, stating that elections officials in the county have now brought forth evidence alleging that then Secretary of State (now Governor) Katie Hobbs and then Speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives Rusty Bowers PERSONALLY ORDERED THEM TO DESTROY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP and to count the TENS OF THOUSANDS OF BALLOTS THAT WERE CAST BY ILLEGAL ALIENS FOR JOE BIDEN in Arizona's largest county in the 2020 election. This was "outcome-determinative fraud" by the very individuals who were entrusted to conduct, oversee and certify the election and Hobbs and Bowers are both alleged to have been on the payroll of at least 3 hostile foreign governments, The George Soros Open Society Foundation and The DNC in exchange for RIGGING the 2020 election in Arizona. Put simply, there is now IRREFUTABLE AND INDISPUTABLE PROOF that President Trump WON the state of Arizona in that STOLEN election out of the mouths of the very people who counted the votes. LOCK THESE TREASONOUS CROOKS UP NOW! 🇺🇸💪🏻🔥

@visegrad24 The Danish army has barely one battalion of troops. How do they propose to defend and hold Greenland, and all without a navy to defend the necessary resupply missions.
English
Denmark was ready to blow up Greenland runways if the USA invaded.
The Danish military sent explosives and blood supplies to Greenland in January as part of contingency planning for a US attack, as tensions with Trump escalated. 🇩🇰🇬🇱🇺🇸

@CNN @NatashaBertrand Following up on this reporting, Iranian state media have since posted footage purporting to show one of their air defense systems striking the U.S. stealth fighter jet.

IRNA News Agency ☫@IrnaEnglish
The moment the F-35 fighter jet was targeted by Iran's air defense.
English
Matching reporting by @CNN / @NatashaBertrand, I have confirmation that an F-35 stealth fighter jet was damaged during a combat mission over Iran.
A CENTCOM spokesman said the pilot is in stable condition.
CNN reported the fighter jet may have been damaged by Iranian fire. For now, CENTCOM is saying the incident is under investigation.

@D4RW1NEXE @unusual_whales Good luck with that. Especially when Russia takes the Baltic states, and the US replies- not our war.
English
Europe calling Washington's bluff permanently rewrites the NATO power dynamic. France and Germany deploying elite units alongside Danish forces proved the European Union will actually mobilize over sovereign territory. The era of uncontested US diplomatic hegemony in the Arctic ended the second those allied F-35s loaded live ammunition.

Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland in January, with military support from France, Germany, and Nordic nations, per DR

@christankerfund How exactly do you propose to do that? your navy can barely get a single warship past the English Channel.

A number of countries issue a statement saying they are ready to help ensure safe passage through Hormuz.
They obviously see this getting very close to spiraling completely out of control.
But let’s see what actually comes from this ….

@Alan7098 @WPerry1151 @MThomasOTF We were talking about air power vs capital ships, which was shown in WW2 to have vindicated Mitchell.
Trying a diversionary gambit isn't becoming and is quite close to insulting our intelligence.
I suggest you refrain from trying it again.

Sometimes I wonder if this was what it was like to read Billy Mitchell's remarks a century ago. I think the military history books decades from now will have screenshots of his posts.

Bureaucracy is the only place where you can lose and still brief it as a win. It rewards the explanation, not the result. And survives failure by redefining success. I have a blood feud with bureaucracy. In case you didn’t catch that yet.

@TRHLofficial With as many communist priests as there are, you have to ask that? If this is true, I bet we learn priests in these areas were harboring and supporting Hezbollah assets.

@ed_gethane @WPerry1151 @MThomasOTF And most of those are still misunderstood. Just like the Strategic Bombing campaign of WW2. Other than drawing Luftwaffe assets away from the Russian front, the bombing campaign almost universally targeted the wrong types of targets and did little to degrade German capabilities.
