You either die a hero, or you live long enough to undermine the thesis of your NYT bestseller

Finally getting around to this @nickkodama.bsky.social recommendation

Here. I wrote about American threats against Greenland and the fate of NATO. othermeans.io/p/the-next-g...

Congressional Republicans when they are asked to do literally anything:

Live look of Texas oil barons:

Underrated aspect of all this is these guys refuse to stay at places are less nice than a Hilton lol

“Brilliant military operation” (that accomplishes very little in strategic value) is the story of the last 70 years lol

we're scrappy but we have got plans for 2026 baby www.liberalcurrents.com/liberal-curr...

Ngl it’s really disheartening to see liberal currents struggle to raise 500K and these jokers just keep raising cash no questions asked

I forgot Mike waltz existed

Current article (comes out Wednesday) I am writing focuses on a still virtually unknown FSO on the policy planning staff named George Butler who wrote a 24 point memo a month after the North invaded the South correctly predicting every single inflection point that occurred over the next 3 years

This is why I never understood all the editorializing about how things had really changed. All the structure/principals of the Venezuelan government that was set up by Maduro are still in power

When I was in Afghanistan there was a Danish SF team in my BN's AO. By day, they trained the NPs, by night they got after it in the hinterlands. Allies, who fought and bled and sacrificed alongside us. This kind of talk from a "professional" US Army officer is despicable and worthy of censure

32-0 in CQB is pure fucking luck

AOC follows this dude?

I’m tired

It’s so funny this was place was originally conceived as a place to train dem natsec hacks

Our article about the Maduro op has received a large update with additional details. Not to toot our own horn but we're far ahead of the big newspapers with this story. Please give it a read. thehighside.substack.com/p/bold-delta...

All it takes is one shot from a MANPAD

For the past year I've had the feeling that the Trump administration's primary goal is the creation of content, and I expanded upon it here in the wake of our excursion in Venezuela

At this point, I just kinda assume the status quo will hold, and that this entire episode will ultimately amount to little more than content production and performative posting

People on this website try not to fall for axios rage bait challenge (impossible)

Guess with the context of the last 24 hours we now know what happened

Very specifically for these fellas

So they knew before congress and decided not to leak it but they're totally down with leaking incredibly sensitive information about partner countries like Ukrainian GBAD magazine depth?

Guess it did leak lol

It’s funny that CNAS was conceived as a place to create dem natsec hacks and instead it helped the strategy cheese’ career along

Many such cases

No one reads theory eh

“Realists” try not to be wrong challenge (impossible)

Remember when this moron tried to run for governor of Oregon lol

Evergreen

Militaries try to have competent IADS challenge (impossible)

What did James Cameron know?

Is he really that naive or just stupid? (Don’t answer that)

“Why has the development and execution of American national security policy declined?”

Let him cook

After a month’s hiatus, I get back in the saddle after Trump’s invasion of Venezuela. open.substack.com/pub/blackclo...

He looks like complete and utter shit, man. And the stroke droop on the right side of his face is visible again.

He’s still cooking
