Who wants to take bets on whether the Ford’s deployment will last longer than Phelan’s tenure?

Best example of the danger of flak I've seen. #WW2 #HISTORY

We have to be able to hit the invasion beaches with area effect weapons. They’re small, narrow and the Chinese face a serious shortage of lift capacity.

Remember, when someone on tv does something you don’t like, it’s important to find them online and tell them off. It’s not rude, because you watch their show and that means you’re basically their client and boss.

China’s ten points to improve relations with Taiwan suggests setting up more regular mechanisms for leaders to meet, edu exchanges, and also the broadcast of “healthy” Taiwanese TV, animations, to be broadcast in China: www.gwytb.gov.cn/topone/20260...

**BREAKING** in the defence universe… China is serial producing Zubrs. What’s a Zubr? It’s the world’s largest hovercraft; it’s fast, it can carry tanks or 500 troops, and land them across beaches other landing craft would get stuck on… #OSINT www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2...

My religion? Bad

This is incredibly irresponsible journalism. You cannot write this headline without acknowledging all the times Elon Musk has promised to pay for things, then didn't. Let's take a stroll down memory lane. 🧵

Military purges can consolidate power at the top. They can also weaken the very institution leaders rely on in a crisis.

One of the best things for the world to do is buy from Taiwanese and Ukrainian defense firms. Way bigger impact than simply selling or sending them equipment.

Shameless plug. My @warontherocks.bsky.social debut is a rebuttal to Cynical Publius’ war college opinion piece. warontherocks.com/2026/03/mili...

Academia Sinica is an academic institution that does not conduct polls with an eye on influencing politics, as media polls usually do, and so the results of this survey are worth noting focustaiwan.tw/politics/202...

The proliferation of mobile missile and unmanned systems throughout the first island chain is the most effective way to counter and defeat CCP aggression.

The biggest hazers are always the weakest and abused. They’re desperate to have power over someone else.

This is by far my favorite soap opera

In this 2024 interview, Jack Hughes, who just scored the game-winning goal for the US Olympic hockey team, explains why it was important for him to embrace Pride Night when many other NHL players refused to do so.

I spent last week teaching about a potential Taiwan invasion scenario and ended up developing what I’ve started calling “The Three Nevers.” Somewhat tongue in cheek, but grounded in history and operational reality:

Man, this really captures my feelings these days.

OTD in 2022 George Galloway released one of the absolute, all-time classics. He has yet to delete it, show humility, or confirm/deny if this means he in fact being paid to act like an idiot, or if he just does it free. #JustAskingQuestions

There’s an inverse relationship between people being called influencers and my belief that they should influence anyone

Yes it’s called a strategy of denial to deter China in the Pacific yes that’s why the priority is restoring the Monroe Doctrine but in Greenland yes where the only foreign base is already ours yes which is why we’re sending a carrier to the Middle East to bomb Iran yes. I am a strategist yes.

I feel so much better about myself now that I know that this story has been confirmed.

Day 1417 of my 3 day war. My invasion has now lasted longer than our war with Nazi Germany. With American supplies & Ukrainian soldiers helping, they advanced 1800km in that time. We have managed about 60. I remain a master strategist.
