Ok I do want to note, moving the 82nd does not mean air dropping the 82nd! They can be used for other ways to get to combat. They are just an infantry unit and fight on the ground like one. They just happen to be kept at much higher states of readiness then most others!

I think a key route through the whole everyone found out you can buy roofs is we might need to get a smidge more serious about developing better ones that have much less negative impacts. Long term it’s going to involve cultural shifts tho.

Hey if this is the first use of Saudi’s strategic missile force

We have two air born infantry divisions and yet we’re sending a brigade.

The reality is whoever started the fight does not matter, freedom of navigation is every countries problem.

We are well into the territory where the exponential part of the keeling curve dominates the management of climate change and that we have been able to delay because of the nonlinearity of the climate system’s response to CO2 has allowed us to slow walk our policies around adaption and mitigation.

yes, but I don't see a benefit in saying it out loud, especially with this admin foreignpolicy.com/2026/03/18/j...

Look, your thinking it, I’m thinking it but our policy is clear solar radiation management via stratospheric injection is not a mature bough technology to be deployed even in extreme conditions.

Compared to the YFQ-42A, this thing is less an Anduril product than a product designed by a company acquired by Anduril and then housing a bunch of other up and comers under its umbrella which seems like it’ll be more of a nightmare to manage. And the Ohio facility is brand new

"U.S. officials (...) said the mines currently employed by Iran in the strait are the Iranian-manufactured Maham 3 and Maham 7 Limpet Mine." This is interesting and would make sense, as both models are relatively light-weight, ie easier to deploy. www.cbsnews.com/news/strait-...

remember that one time a train derailed in Ohio and literally nobody died but it was a news story for like a full week and Pete Buttigieg had to personally answer for it?

Deeply underrated in the discussion is that Operation great Uranium Caper is the Battle of Khasham part 2 and the responding IRGC unit gets their shit fucking rocked at no US losses and it just breaks their security forces.

They may well pull off the Great Uranium Caper. But if they do, it'll embolden Donald to send them on an even more dangerous mission. And if they somehow pull that off, guess what?

Ok, so first of that’s not ICE’s uniform style, suppressors, or normal optics, but importantly he has a patch that clearly says City of Atlanta Police on his arm and a matching patch on his hat. While City of Atlanta have a matching patch, and use od green tactical uniforms.

Shits fine.

OK I have a question for the social science and econ folks, I have some model results that are explanaitive of what happened vs the full data set would that be ok to give Figure 1 and 2 which are comparable and then figure 3 that drills down on a particular range of model parameters with only

I think the war is more likely to drag on than conclude soon even if Iran plays ball due to the dynamics of Trump's instability favoring the hawks. He can rip up a treaty he agreed to, but he can't unbomb a facility he incinerated so when he inevitably changes his mind again he can't call backsies.

This is the kind of thing you say when you're talking to an irrelevant opposition leader who has conned you into believing they can credibly take over and run the country.

Speaking of which, did you know Iran was one of the places slated for Nuclear demolition charges due to the Mountain tunnels in the North East?

you’re telling me the most performative and perfunctory department of this administration is gonna stop CYBER, AI, and SPACE threats with <checks notes> a bureau that duplicates capabilities that exist in like 10 other places?

Wow, that's a dog shit plan.

I have deduced, its because we had easy access to computers, but actual information transmission to large numbers of people still had to be done in the form of mass printing.

The Iranian government butchered tens of thousands of their own people two months ago, a core goal of the protestors was women’s rights. The war is stupid and evil and won’t help anyone. But for god’s sake don’t go calling for solidarity with the Iranian regime.

Dates are real important on this claim "In March 2025, the US Office of the Director of National Intelligence notably hardened its language, assessing that Iran ‘very likely’ had ambitions to continue R&D of chemical and biological agents for offensive purposes." Like that's Tulsi's office.

'The international community faces an urgent challenge. Securing the biological weapons infrastructure of a state under attack can be more complex than securing its nuclear programme.' writes Dr Cassidy Nelson in the latest RUSI Commentary.

many people have been saying this [to me]

Were going to have him scurry out of office over this and we will fianly get the natural biumvirate installed as CJCS as the leadership side and budget Steve as the management side. The war will still be unwinnable, but we will have fewer drunk speeches emanate from OSD.

Today, I had the opportunity to playtest "Red Arrow, Blue Arrow," a prototype in-the-box French Army #wargame focused on company level combat. The game has tremendous potential with its level of accessibility and flexibility. #wargaming 🪖 🎲 💥

You know, it's going to be weird to see a pope loose this battle for a second time.

I like if your a Senator in Arizona your basically guaranteed a sinecure after retiring to one of the 3 state universities. Definitely a good use of state funds.
