US Counterintelligence doesn't exist right now.

MaL - the site of an egregious CI crime - is swarmed with hostile SI, imagery, and HI of every kind and our LE just lets it happen.

Principals don't care in any way.
This is a symptom of the U.S. militaryβs erroneous conception of strategy as scale. If itβs happening at a large scale, it must be strategic.
Itβs difficult. It takes a lot of folks and resources. It requires high level commanders.
But itβs not strategic.

You can even make a case for "Iranian state collapse and civil war is better than a nuclear Iran murdering tens of thousands in the streets at home and backing Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine" but you actually have to fucking make the case and plan for that outcome.
And they ain't doing either.

Another funny story, several years back we had a Masters student write a thesis about NASA's relationship with Texas and Aggie, and they described the working philosophy as "you shoot the Aggie into space, but you have the Longhorn do the math. And don't switch those roles." -OS

War is not a morality play.
The relevant question isnβt: Are the targets bad people who have done bad things?
The relevant question is: Will going to war make things better, achieving something thatβs worth the death and suffering it causes?
Like at the very bare minimum of humanity to you want people who care and feel the weight of what they do, you want Abraham Lincoln struggling with his view of God and the decisions he makes as President, and the weight of all of it, and it just feels like itβs playing with toys and itβs perverse
