The problem with these pieces is that it’s always based on deductive reasoning, inference, supposition, and the only real reporting is like a random poll that confirms the authors priors

It’s kinda funny how the chief defense of “mass deportations now” at the RNC was “oh voters didn’t see that” but they were apparently absolutely dialed into pronouns and land acknowledgments at the DNC

I keep debating whether to go on threads to try and expand my readership and that seems like a giant waste of time and effort lol

Want to walk the halls of power? Here's a short cut:

1. Volunteer as campaign staff, be heavily involved
2. Get rewarded with mid-level appointee role during the first two years of the administration
3. Take a role on the NSC when everyone abandons ship in years 3-4
4. Exit to tech or banking

Sigh. Another ultra-simplistic reading of the Melian Dialogue which treats it in isolation rather than considering its place in the larger narrative and what the reader would have known about what happens next.

Tommy Franks orchestrated military fiascos in two wars and a more limited global CT campaign and got a speaking gig at the 2004 Republican National Convention.

Does anyone have the original source on this? Because I’m trying to find and of course this account literally never includes it

Two things must be acknowledged as true.

1. Israeli targeting in Gaza has been heinous and illegal.

2. The technical details in this article are a combination of wrong, inaccurate, and misrepresented to a degree it can only be concluded as inflammatory and not informative.

Funny that you mention that because a 23 year old PHD mathematician from Harvard was able to solve the 8th Air Force’s gunner problem in like 2 months (turns out you have to lead your target)

I am always a bit skeptical of people running again after losing a previous election but I think he has a legit shot

Also funny that the long range escort problem was sort of solved by accidentally putting a bigger engine in the P-51

Moreover, what’s interesting in 1943 is that the Luftwaffe more than matched the Allied buildup in bombers, in the spring they had 600 fighters of all types and by the fall they had 1000 fighters of all types (tho they had to pull from the frontlines)

Still insane that even into the fall of 1943, 8th Air Force was still like “do we really need long range escorts?” (Gladwell doesn’t talk about any of this, which is kinda important to the story🙃)
