Here's what we know about the new Qatari air force training space being set up at Mountain Home AFB. Plan dates back nearly a decade, but Hegseth announced its going ahead today (and was short on many, many details). taskandpurpose.com/news/qatar-m...

Idaho Air Force base will host a Qatari F-15 training unit

Qatar will set up a facility inside Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho, which already serves a training base for Singaporean pilots.

Guys this administration is unsubtle about corruption and loves to do it but please at least consider that the former Fox News commenter in charge of the Pentagon misrepresented a normal thing and not that this a unique threat or special privilege granted only by bribes.

This story has been picked up by multiple news outlets, including the Chicago Tribune and the Fox-owned station in the city.

You know which Chicago outlet doesn't appear to have a story about this on its website?

Cool thing about her is she trains *less* than most of her peers. I talked to a former NASA scientist about why it works:

WWII "Friend" poster series from the Allied Forces, originally demonstrating the various Allied forces (British, Australian, Chinese, French, Dutch, etc.) and their appearances

It reads:

"This man is your FRIEND

He fights for FREEDOM"

I hate Columbus Day, it's too woke. "Oh we need to go trading" like your bounty was not good enough in Europe? Reverse racism shoved down our throats by the government, I swear.

I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.
