How can you call yourself a world leader and you only know English? US presidents are embarrassing- using translators everywhere they go

The U.S. is being terrorized by ICE, not Iran.

AI is being used in war, but it can’t replace human judgment. Here’s why The only reason AI can be used throughout the targeting cycle is that countless human personnel everywhere work to keep it running.

The U.S. military used Anthropic's Claude embedded in Palantir's Maven Smart System to support real-time targeting and prioritization, reportedly enabling strikes on about 1,000 targets in the first 24 hours, while Claude acted as decision-support, not an autonomous weapon.

It is increasingly likely that Epstein had espionage ties to Israel, Russia and the FBI/CIA.

The Pentagon realizes the Strait is vulnerable. “‘The simple answer is yes, they can block it,’” stated Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey on January 8, 2012. For the past twenty years, Iran has invested heavily in the asymmetric capabilities needed to bypass the more powerful U.S. fleet and disrupt merchant shipping and threaten naval forces in the Strait. Iran has concentrated on acquiring naval mines, fleets of heavily armed speedboats, and powerful anti-ship cruise missiles, secretly situated along the bottleneck.

The regular Iranian Navy is relatively professional, and it operates an aging conventional surface fleet that is the remnant of the Shah’s constabulary force. The more politically favored and far less predictable Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN), however, is the country’s guerilla force at sea. The IRGCN has responsibility for security in the Strait of Hormuz, and since the early-1990s, it has invested heavily to keep U.S. forces off balance. The highly ideological IRGCN has 20,000 personnel and 5,000 Revolutionary Guard Marines. These forces regularly exercise war plans to close the Strait. The force operates from bases at Bandar Abbas and Qeshm along the Strait, practicing small boat swarm exercises against international shipping traffic with as many as forty boats.

Iran’s naval inventory includes cruise missiles, marine mines, Kilo- and Yono-class submarines, and Peykaap fast attack craft, the latter of which are armed with cruise missiles and torpe- does. These proxy forces are dispersed and mobile, and have mastered swarm techniques to overwhelm more powerful foes. More than a decade ago, a classified Department of Defense war game concluded that  agile swarms of IRGCN speedboats could inflict major damage on the U.S. Navy’s powerful warships in a conflict. In the game, the United States lost sixteen major warships, including an aircraft carrier, to swarms of enemy speedboats.

a fun thing to do is to search things like "Iran blockade Strait of Hormuz before:2016" to remember that both the Pentagon and Iran have been well aware of the possibility of exactly what's happening now for a very long time and the idiots in charge right now were just like "nah that won't happen"

people are aware that america isn't even really a democracy, right?

its a republic. we "elect" a handful of representatives, and those rich, corrupt individuals make all of our decisions for us

we don't vote on anything meaningful, only what they allow us to. that's not a democratic government.

There is no way that Trump is ever going to accept responsibility for anything that goes wrong. He'll lie, lie, lie until he figures out who to blame.

Aren't raping children and bombing a school in another country killing over 100 young girls considered criminal offenses in America?

Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."

Chris "Wrong" Trump Sec of Energy tumbles the price of crude oil with wrong information only to cause it to spike after retracting his "X" comment. Can America not see how absolutely unqualified this admin - from Top down - in unqualified to lead. They are destroying our economy & our government.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

The Democratic Party is directly enabling the war by praising the assassination of Iranian leaders, refusing to condemn the aggression, and approving massive military funding.

If you still condone this administration, you're a special kind of stupid. We bombed a school filled with young girls. Gas just jumped 40 cents. Not to mention the cost of American lives. I'm beginning to think Bibi is Bubba. What's a few more trillion?

I programmed in BASIC when ~6yo.

Then we got Turbo C and my dad explained high-level vs low-level languages. With Turbo C I could read the mouse!

I'd asked if there was a language where I could just "make an elephant walk across the screen". He said ~"naah, sorry, not that high"

But there is now!
