Clean on OPSEC

Rousing speeches on European assertiveness & middle powers countering hard power do not a viable foreign policy make, it turns out.

European, EU & Canadian responses to the US/Israeli aggression against Iran are short-sighted and help weaken the legal rules these countries depend on.

Animo galera tudo vai melhorar depois da copa 2026

Note to Europeans: The US is (once again) firing all these precious missiles that are also earmarked for use in a contingency in Europe.🙃

As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter

Pentagon names Iran Mission 'Operation Epic Fury'

Sounds lethal and manly and all that

I know - even though I am bad at maths - but the point was the birthdays

Folks need to stop using "Department of War". It should neither be validated nor normalized.

Deterrence by Coin Denial

Wanna feel old?*

*There's lots of 30th anniversaries of very great albums to be celebrated this year

Also, this war brought to you by the same Pentagon that shot down a US drone with a laser and closed airspace near El Paso, again.

You really want these guys starting wars and/or doing regime changes in Venezuela, Iran, and maybe Cuba in just the first quarter of 2026?

The so-called Department of War “will ALWAYS adhere to the law.”

So about those boat strikes…not to mention the fact that the agency’s legally prescribed name is the *Department of Defense.*

LETHALITY!!!

California, rotated, in a map of the Baltic Sea https://www.rand.org/pubs/perspectives/PEA2111-1.html

I love the genre of "US writers writing about other parts of the World for US audiences"

Today's gem: "the Baltic Sea is slightly larger than California (which we have rotated to facilitate comparison)."

"Who gets to interpret the law especially in fast-moving technological domains that implicate militaries and private companies alike? And what happens when legal interpretations diverge?"

When the US National Security Strategy referenced civilizational erasure”, it was code for “Where have all the white people gone?”

The man who best represents that view in the UK is Tommy Robinson. And he’s now being courted by the US government.

The War on Drugs is Dead.

Long Live the War on Wigs!

"The removal of Mexican criminal leaders does not cause the market for drugs to vanish, nor does it cause trafficking routes to disappear. What changes is the balance of power among groups that already compete for territory, labour and access to ports, roads and local authorities."
