THAAD batteries is very much currently a doubt considering the sole source is the IRGC and I would have 'questions' about that happening to a US battery

also the UEWR in Qatar has a weird OPCON relationship, weirder than the one at RAF Fylingdales

BOTH Democratic U.S. Senate candidates should be furious about how this is being handled in Texas.

It benefits one candidate today. But the same chaos that helped them in the primary can absolutely burn them the general.

Trump admin pressuring contractors to prioritize production over shareholder payouts as they meet with executives from largest defense contractors to discuss ‌accelerating weapons production. The Pentagon is working to replenish supplies after strikes on Iran and other recent military efforts.

a tiny light brown dachshund is being held up by a human who is out of frame. they are at a beautiful snowy mountain range that looks straight out of a Pinterest photo. the dachshund pup, Frankie, is wearing a full body puffer jacket that matches her light brown fur perfectly.
