I always do the Shaka hand sign to Ravens when I see them, want them to have to make notes in their files of a weird dude telling them to hang loose. ABC (Always Be Counterintelligence-ing)

Peer reviews are annoying. No, I do not want my classmates grading my work, I already know they are idiots from the group projects.

My rage knows no bounds. I desire to scour.

Are we being nice to USCG DSF again? Why? They might think they are cool.

The other angle, however, to the notable increase in experimental designs, is increasing liquidity in funding & related surge in R&D for PRC military developers. This is something I keep emphasising. Even if nothing much comes of this particular effort, the event matters. /end

They seem to have pulled 1 of his close protection detail, in the longer vid we only ever see 3 members of OFO SRT. We do get to see two very board looking members of BORTAC. Also we see perhaps 1 member of HSI SRT but confirmation was not possible.

Oh good this is only guaranteed to drive A Guy absolutely mad with conspiracy and tactics proposals. I need everyone to stop helping my arguments about subterranean weapons systems your help is not needed. This will result in the Russians bringing up mole people again I already know.

IS-KP financing the Crocus attack partially with crypto is not surprising at all.

There's no way in hell any of the disability accommodation discourse is going to go well on social media. There's way too many shades/versions, built on way too many assumptions, with too many intangible costs/benefits. It's just going to be a bunch of people talking past each other while pissed off

The problem with American actors portraying Russians, especially young ones is, they just are not broken in their soul. They do not have the animal fear in their hearts they know things can get better, a Russian knows this not to be the case and has resigned themselves to die thousands of times by

RIP to all the coasties that just got T10 orders for the Southern Border.

Why these things work so well in Ukraine is it’s a mostly static environment and the mass bombing (sometimes indescriminate) works for the situations the Russians found themselves in a positional war where they cannot gain air superiority. How does this apply to a potential China fight

A fish would be a comparably useful attempted leader of the democratic party.

Okay I lied but for the record companies from all over the world engage in illegal fishing - not just China. democrats-foreignaffairs.house.gov/2025/12/meek...

So like not only is my specialty dead to the point they are running news articles in wire services every time a company leaves the country, my broader field is also in complete decimation. Now that is all well and good, but the thing I actually care about is being in government service which also...

There are, but mainly because not all courts consider it torcher when you engineer circumstances beyond this to isolate and break someone torture.

Its always fun to read this stuff like we didn't just get out of a 43 day shutdown with incidents of ADA violation

From the F-16 squadron commander’s Silver Star citation reported on here, it sounds like besides all the downed Reapers, the Air Force narrowly avoided losing one or more manned fighter jets to Houthi air defenses over Yemen during Operation Rough Rider last March

We are getting new levels of desperate aren't we.

FUCK YEAH WE INVADING THE NETHERLANDS BECAUSE OF THEIR LONG HISTORY AS A TRANSSHIPMENT POINT FOR MDMA

"Avondale" Ahhh ok that makes sense.

I am not planing a trip to Cuba, but I am planing to be subjected to an increasingly moronic series of ever expanding conflicts in the Caribbean pushed by the SECSTATE and his life long hatred of reasonable policy and communists, so I may pick this up. www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501...

The drip is off the charts.

I did not know Heated Rivalry was about hockey players... very cruel to have hot hockey players. Luckily you just can not capture eastern European twink with a dude from Texas.

Hegseth: Trust me, bro. They’re all guilty. Who needs things like evidence, proof and trials. Those are woke.

New from me: The NSA recently achieved its goals to shed around 2,000 people from its workforce this year. The reductions include a mix of civilian employees who were terminated, voluntarily left or took deferred resignation offers. www.nextgov.com/people/2025/...

I guess one lesson of Sicario is that the war on drugs is, at its foundation, the ultra-cynical management of illicit narcotics flows through the protection/co-optation of “favored” drug lords while taking an (at least public) hardline against the rest. Looks like folks have taken that to heart!

He was born to be a teenage girl it’s incredible. “Certain DUMB BITCHES in my homeroom I won’t mention… ASHLEY and NICOLE…”

1. Doubt. 2. Did leftists terrorist remember their favorite weapon? 3. Also are there even leftist terrorist left?

Its SIPRI Industry Production Week! www.sipri.org/visualizatio...

a lot of the urge to doom comes from the admin’s success at projecting confidence even when its delusional

He has a duty to intervene if he observes his subordinate officers committing crimes, like even a terminal O-4 knows this.

i keep my promises!

The fact that this is a surprise to Bradley, presumably Fenton, and a whole bunch of large adult son SOF officers is a justifiable reason alone to fire everyone at SOCOM, just for being fucking stupid

Trump rejected Maduro requests on call, options narrow for Venezuela leader, sources say reut.rs/48dsWhn

angleton would’ve really hated to see his legacy rehabilitated by leftist poasters of all people and tbqf that’s a big reason why imma do it

This fixes none of my gripes about NREL, and frankly makes me dislike them more. Furthermore it was dumb when we renamed LANL to LANL.

Hard to justify getting rid of Hegseth when he just proved to you he’s willing to commit murder / war crimes at your command when you’re at the helm of a faltering authoritarian project, really. Like, it’s quite literally what you hired him for and what you hope he’ll do more of when asked.

My hot take is due to their rather insular culture, it likely leads to selection for accountants into middle and upper levels of management not economists.

This is as many have noted likely unconstitutional, secondly under what conditions are those answers not both yes? I don't know about everyone else but I never had a lot of time for my personal pet projects when teaching vs what we needed to actually meet our accreditation requirements.

Honestly, this is about the level of blueprint plan I expect out of some firms.

If he is clever, he will snag himself a congressional immunity agreement for the most damaging testimony he can. The knives are out for the Secretary and if he has any sense he will be their tool.

Ok, everyone should read solely to mock the trying to fake being a real intelligence report. I would have been given an F for this in undergrad.

This feels like the sort of think that might come up again.

Another point: you know who *does* do robust wargaming? The primes Because it turns out it's a useful business tool to determine what might be the best fit for your customer (even if they decide otherwise)

Is it just me or did Nick Haley suddenly reach prominence after that interview a couple weeks back? Was he already floating around these circles or is this a bit more designed?

so it is very apparent that 1) You are not going to be able to know for sure who or where an order came from, much less if it is legal 2) The President and SecDef will disavow any order that retroactively proves to be unpopular or risky
