The fuck? Kirk never served. He was rejected by the academies. And he would have washed out anyway.

Talk about squeezing a rock dry. JFC. Saint the fucker.

Uh, here's the video I have been busy working on for a few months now: youtu.be/CmWQgNSEtdw

Eric dropping Eric lore, natsec Twitter we are so back

Then read more theory. It is funny that even when naval warfare is depicted it is usually always heavily gun focused. This is something that stopped being all that relevant in terms of engaging the enemy and killing him quickly after the aircraft carrier was created.

There is nothing stopping us from running a covert assassination and sabotage campaign in Russia…

Though at this point, we should really just rip the bandaid off and launch an air campaign in occupied Ukraine and Western Russia.

Oh it doesn’t devastate me. On the contrary, it’s frankly hilarious. Parody that writes itself

I see that BlueSky has added notifications for specific accounts now at least.

Will turn those on for some folks so I have a reason to check in more often lol

Tagging @t0nyyates.bsky.social since he locked his quotes like a coward lmfao

For the record, this is one of the reasons why I’m not very active on BlueSky. The vibes are simply rancid.

I am no more interested in a leftist echo chamber than I am a rightist chamber. BlueSky can be anti-Twitter but it will never be old Twitter.

Also, this is a complete retelling of the first few months of the war lol, Ukraine used conventional firepower and weapons to stop the Russian advance, not drone swarms lol

I know hating the U.S. is in vogue, for mostly understandable reasons even. But c’mon. Use your brains.

Unless you are happy to let Russia and China bug the airbase during construction.

Pretty standard stuff. Not much to read into here honestly

I genuinely do think Westerners, but particularly Americans, find it easier to empathize with dipshits like this guy because dying in a foreign land as an invader is something we understand much better than defending our home from others who would bring death to our friends and families

Why are we still glazing these people?

The dude outright admitted that he was willing to go kill Ukrainians to pay his utility bills but for some reason he's actually supposed to be the victim here because the Russians don't give a shit about their soldiers lives

That implies that it was going to be employed against something.

LRASM is not approved for captive carry due to limited depot-level sustainment and being a war reserved weapon.

Unless multiple AURs were somehow damaged in USS Vinson's magazine

The reprogramming request is dated 22 MAY, indicating they were expended against the Houthis by CSG-1.

The Houthis don’t have any large maritime assets and spiral development of a land attack capability for LRASM was canceled.

So I am deeply confused by what the target could have been.

The purpose of ITAR is to prevent the export of sensitive U.S. defense articles, technology, and intellectual property to our adversaries. It is not, as many like to believe, a tool to stifle competition.

Though like anything else, it has been used as leverage for diplomatic and political ends.

Articles exported under Direct Commercial Sales are subject to ITAR licensing requirements, however, which are administered by DDTC at the State Department.

ITAR licensing is waived for defense articles exported as part of a Foreign Military Sale.

The ability of a customer to reexport FMS articles is governed by the end user agreement with the U.S. Government. In all cases, they are required to seek approval for a Third Party Transfer.

Zelenskiy Spoke With Trump About Replacing Ukraine’s Envoy to US Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy discussed replacing the current ambassador to the US during his phone call with President Donald Trump on Friday, according to a person familiar with the matter...

This would potentially be a very positive move, depending on who replaces Markarova.

Ukraine’s current diplomatic staff have, unfortunately, proven relatively ineffective at engaging with Congress as well as navigating the arms export process, even before Trump took office.

Bridge Colby has his head too far up his ass to understand this, even when China says it aloud.

It is imperative Russia be defeated swiftly and overwhelmingly so that our resources can be prioritized to China. We cannot afford a two front Cold War in both Europe and Asia.
