I can't get over this part.

They want USAF operated shaheds

Wake up babe. The Hudson is burning the kitchen. These guys want an even more suicidal and less equipped MLR.

It seems like the last USAF assets are moving into theater for strikes on Iran. Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) that participated in the Maduro raid were headed for MENA. Some 9~ or so tankers also dragged more F-35As from the UK heading for Jordan. Also headed East are E-3s from Alaska.

There's nothing to jailbreak. F-35s will continue running without US support (for a time). However, you will have to start cannibalizing Euro fleets for spare parts Europe can't produce (F-135, EW, Radars, CNI stuff). These systems are solely produced in the US.

It's good thing then that Taiwan and Ukraine are not yours to give up. Ukraine fights and Taiwan will fight not because anyone is forcing them to but because they think their countries are worth defending. This level of spineless bootlicking is nauseating.

What is this shit? Since when did effectively resisting one of the largest militaries on Earth to a standstill and retaining sovereignty over 80% of your pre-invasion territory become a bad outcome? Rus continues to pay every inch with a hundred bodies. It doesn't have to, it can stop at any moment.

"Don't proliferate, even though we over-reassured you, and therefore we don't want to reassure as much as we did before. But don't think this is an excuse to proliferate cause that is wrong. But don't count on us just yet either."

I dont know how I got to 6.8k, but I need you guys to go follow @phoenixjz.bsky.social, @giledpallaeon.bsky.social, @massiasthanos.bsky.social, and @baa43a3ahy.bsky.social. They consistently post good stuff that is worth your follow!

Cleaning up the SM-3 section of the script.

Two things must be acknowledged as true. 1. Israeli targeting in Gaza has been heinous and illegal. 2. The technical details in this article are a combination of wrong, inaccurate, and misrepresented to a degree it can only be concluded as inflammatory and not informative.

SBU with CIA budget would end Moscow. What the fuck are European intel agencies doing? SBU recruited this guy less than 6 months ago and he almost dropped the first deputy of the GRU dead for $30k.

My article on JUMPSEAT is in the current issue of The Space Review. thespacereview.com/article/5151/1

This shit tastes so good for how simple it was. I am never buying bread again.

We bake da bread

Herman Khan was built different

Ever since reading up on Rebecca Slayton's Arguments That Count book, I have wondered what all the behind the scenes drama of the MIT Nerds and PSAC was. This book seems to answer this drama in a level of detail I have never seen before. It is also funny as hell.

the CIA uses them to inject satellites with woke italian technology

Does anyone know?

THAAD has the largest and oldest KKV of the theater interceptors

Well well, if it isn't the KKV brothers.

It is even worse than it looks

Why?

I know shit is all insane and everything is on fire but if all things go well, four astronauts will go to the moon in a few weeks. This mission will include many firsts: the first non-American astronaut, the first female astronaut, and the first person of color to travel to the moon.

One of the wilder things here is that the Eastern Theater Command (which is the theater that would be mos involved in the invasion of Taiwan) was also without its two most senior commanders, both military and civilian. And both of these guys were extremely close with Xi!

1/4th of the script I am working on needs massive reworking but here I am fiddling around with After Effects trying to get that Cassette Futuristic late 1980s to early 2000s look. We are not making it.

Basically, the effects are hard to do using the color palette I picked. But when used in black/white setup (like the latter half of this), the Deep Glow plugin seems to really do the trick.

In more "normal" posting, I baked a coffee cake (it has no coffee, but it is meant to be eaten with coffee) because I was a bit tired of drinking coffee with anything in the morning. It came out surprisingly well.

Have been testing some techniques to try and get some vintage look on the graphics and it doesn't really seem to be working due to my choice of colors.

SOF smash and grab or SOF smash and kill doesn't really work on Greenland because there isn't a single person or a handful of people you can grab/kill to make the country fall. The level of force requirements for something like this are near that of an MEU/ARG and ton of support assets.

What is Starmer doing

I know for a fact that Italy and Hungary are going to be working overtime to torpedo any EU wide response to US aggression cause somehow even in all of this they can't help but side with the enemy.

And our center-right parties are _really_ in favor of just "doing a little business" with the far right as the far right has managed to claw quite a bit of the traditional leftist voters and use that to break unions and push for austerity idiocy.

No, Riika Purra nor anyone else at Finns First Party is considered "extremely liberal" by any American standards. Mette Frederiksen might be a leftist on social issues but she is as xenophobic as they get on social issues pertaining to anyone who isn't white as snow. Sorry to burst your bubble!

One can only pray this is the case. In my neck of the woods, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden are currently led by extremely right-wing parties are looking to enact much of the same things Trump's anti-immigration stuff is doing and some other areas (worker rights, tax breaks for their rich buddies)

Some nice images of Boeing-Rockwell-RD LEAP III kinetic kill vehicle. You can also see it mounted on what looks like a Minuteman ICBM next to a RV.

"Meal Team Six Gravy Seal Mfer" I would never recover from this.

McDonnell F-4 Phantom II - The Flying Brick? 🧵 When reading about the Phantom, I commonly come across expressions like "the triumph of thrust over aerodynamics" or "even a brick can fly if you stick a big enough engine on it".

Idk what it says about the EU that only discussions we are seeing publicly for military options are from the UK, a non-EU country. I feel like most EU countries still have not grasped the idea that they might have to defend (physically) one of their own from the US.

These two DDR5 sticks (mediocre ones at that) cost me €129 ($150) when I bought them 3 years ago. These same sticks are worth €390 ($453) today.

The scale of destruction happening in the consumer electronics hardware market due to the Ai bubble is insane. Billion dollar companies hoarding RAM and storage for server racks they can't power. OpenAi basically declaring it booked nearly half of global memory production for 3-4 years.

The total disregard he has for something as precious as life makes my blood boil.

I guess you could say today is cold.

RIP Solwind P78-1 you will forever be remembered for the most aesthetic F-15A photos known to man.

A very good read from @sodrock.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/secretar...

And somehow Ukraine during wartime continues to produce more artillery barrels and wheeled artillery systems (2S22s) than any NATO nation today. This capability was stood-up from 0 at the start of the war.

The US has been the top global producer and exporter of crude oil, LNG and other petroleum products for many years now. (This is not necessarily a good thing for the environment) Nonetheless, this is why experts in this area are so confused by the nakedly imperialistic justifications of this Admin.
