You've lost *another* submarine? Staring at defense and foreign policy and hoping one day it makes sense. "Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evil" - Gen. John Stark A place for my rantings
European leaders going forward when Donnie tries to make demands of them:
From a family friend in Iceland, I'm guessing it's related. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_...
All Russian and Chinese forces will leave America immediately...or suffer the consequences.
If only this could have been foreseen! Like someone saying over a month ago how Hezbollah's fiber optic drone tactics would rapidly advance and pose a serious threat. *Grumbles about knowing the obvious outcome*
Welp, called it. Not that it was particularly hard to do, but still.
It's probably worth mentioning that of the 3 carrier groups and 3 amphib ready groups that could respond to this crisis are currently preoccupied, mostly in CENTCOM. Is this admin willing to withdraw the Iwo Jima ARG we've been hanging over Cuba and Venezuela's heads for months?
Look, it's Axios, so I expect nothing less, but ffs guys do you know what the Cold War was??? This is an active war! We bombed their capital repeatedly! We're just not shooting at each other at the moment!
The Nurgle Loyalists in the American government remains an incredibly depressing sub-plot to all of this.
He's done a lot of not great things and believes in a lot more not great things (like couping the government if they're Democrats)
@unavaleable.bsky.social not quite the Liberty Bandits you described...
The comparison of counter drone operations in Ukraine and the Middle East is rather telling. From the other place. @rebel44cz.bsky.social
At least some of them were moved closer in Feb. Might have just been for CSAR though.
Thinking about this shot I called almost a year ago. Details were close enough imo.
The proper response to a racist saying someone doesn't belong in this country or that they should be kept separate based on race/religion/whatever is the federal government pointing a bayoneted rifle at them and saying "Try it motherfucker". I hate how far we've fallen.
Hey, did you know that George W. Bush gave his "Mission Accomplished" speech on the USS Abraham Lincoln? And that this same aircraft carrier is now on the way to the Middle East to likely support a US decapitation strike against Iran that we hope is "a clean, swift, and inexpensive operation"?
The first pic is from Minneapolis, the second pic is a Russian who came to negotiate the surrender of the Ukrainian city of Konotop in 2022. The difference is shrinking by the day.

They just keep proving me right. This is what the Europeans are going to hear every time a US government official speaks within a year or two.
Again and again, at a certain point the rest of the world is just going to hear the quoted post every time the US government speaks.
Good, they're gonna need all the help they can get there this year probably. I do wonder what '24 and '25 would have looked like if Ukraine had just been doing this instead of the counteroffensive in '23.
Hey so we just started bombing #Venezuela. Source x.com/propatriano/...
