The USA has officially banned ALL new device models of "UAS and UAS critical component parts that are produced in foreign countries" as of today. Which means this ban extends beyond just DJI. This will devastate the currently-thriving drone data services market.

No, you can’t do that, airhead. It’s not within your authority and it violates several laws.

There is an entire English language available to describe Pete Hegseth’s tenure at the Pentagon - celebrating massacres like Wounded Knee, honoring Secession, purging women & black officers, military threats to NATO allies, extrajudicial killing in the Caribbean and Pacific - yet Ben Smith says:

It all makes sense if you’ve read Charles Mills. These folks desire a racial caste system. They will meet the advancements of any group of people they deem as unworthy with animosity and vitriol in an attempt to regain what the dominant group believes it has lost.

700 miles along I-95 yesterday. Every time we stopped for gas my son and I conducted 5-25-100s. Swerved under every overpass; built 3 schools and dug a well. Waited 8 hours for EOD to show up. Had a real counterinsurgency feel, like RTE IRISH during the surge!

Showed a slide to my CGSC students depicting American use of force since Spanish-American War, which made US a Pacific power. FAR majority are stability operations or limited wars. Of note, this does not include threat of force to deter.
