Ozymandias moment: Colossus of Rhodes then and now, attr to Louis de Caullery whose day is today.

This is Summit. He is a friend to pretty much everyone he meets. But has a special soft spot for the little critters who stop long enough for him to say hello. 13/10 (IG: bakerbarnes)

I heard the audio. He said it.
Lord. What have y'all done.

Pretty sure the RN will consider renting the USA a couple of minesweepers

The new non answering strategy is to say yes to everything

"Calling the 1900s"

ROGAN: "It just seems so insane based on what he ran on. I mean, this is why a lot of people feel betrayed. He ran on no more wars and these stupid, senseless wars. And then we have one that we can't even really clearly define why we did it."

Double-tap means it was an intended target. The girls school was the school of choice for the daughters of Iranian officers.

If this even happens, the Russians will blatantly lie and the US will pretend to believe them.

Israeli Imperialism wants to expand borders and dominate the Middle East.

Netanyahu wants to remain in power & out of jail.

The result: Constant aggression wars and genocide.

Europe silently agrees and condones.

The US violently supports the effort.

And here we are.

This is a jaw-dropping indicator of the shrinking sphere of US hegemony. Just wild.

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

Hanging out the window with a bottle full of rain..."

That metaphor doesn't do the drone problem justice

In theory, the drone controllers and drone launchers needn't be in the same place

Even worse, if you've a networked control system so that control can be handed around

That's a nightmare for interdiction strategies

It was that kind of party: everybody had to act out one of the five senses and she got stuck doing touch w/ the most annoying man in the room. An evening w/ Louis de Caullery, whose day is today.

Glasgow Central station’s upper level to remain closed for rest of week after fire next door Safety checks needed after neighbouring building gutted by huge blaze on Sunday night, with only facade remaining Glasgow Central station’s high level will remain closed for the rest of the week, after a fire devastated a neighbouring building on Sunday. Network Rail said it would not be possible to reopen the upper concourse of the station, where trains depart to destinations across the UK, because of the instability of the mid-Victorian block on the corner of Union Street and Gordon Street, much of which collapsed during the ferocious blaze.

Apologies for the misinformation

The USN have 14, most of them are in Bahrain
