Secretary of Defense Rock

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.

I still kinda doubt tbh

Its cool that DOD can just lie their asses off with zero consequences

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.

“READ THEORY”

“No, not like that”

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

Live look of Sir Sherrod Brown

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🙃)

Oo

You blasted an unarmed woman 5 times at point blank range, shut the fuck up

“Live to tell the story”

The chief problem is and (probably will always be) that foreign policy is an inherently elite profession with a limited pool to choose from hence shielded from any real accountability

It’s was incredibly obvious at the exhibition series that USA’s speed and forechecking was a serious problem and Canada literally did nothing to try and fix it

They brought a bunch of older players past their prime as opposed to some of their younger up and coming players and they just have zero pace and it shows

Women’s hockey falling victim to hockey Canada politics is kinda funny ngl

I've just gone through the affidavit that the FBI used to obtain the ballots and documents from 2020 in Fulton County. It relies entirely on assertions found wanting in several lawsuits by election denialists who have been getting laughed out of court for five years. Kevin Moncla. Joe Rossi. Others.

Like we’re on day 10 of this and federal law enforcement is only *now* getting out images of the suspect

Posting must come first

Another ongoing FBI fuckup that isn’t getting a whole lot of attention

Canada just looks insanely slow
