i mean, i don't think it's a mystery NYT

The military commander overseeing the Pentagon’s escalating attacks against boats in the Caribbean Sea that the Trump administration says are smuggling drugs is stepping down, two U.S. officials said on Thursday.

The officer, Adm. Alvin Holsey, is leaving his job as head of the U.S. Southern Command, which oversees all operations in Central and South America, even as the Pentagon has rapidly built up some 10,000 forces in the region in what it says is a major counterdrug and counterterrorism mission.

It was unclear why Admiral Holsey is leaving now, less than a year into his tenure, and in the midst of the biggest operation in his 37-year career.

Seems like a good time to remind everyone that while you can't nuke Copilot completely you can sure snip its dirty balls off.

Rephrase it in a way that makes sense to you if you like.
Listen to Attenborough break it all down for you.
Build a bunker.
Your belief that it will happen has zero bearing on the outcome.

The effects that will break down many of our agriculture and fishing food supplies are cumulative and irreversible unless emissions are more than halved in the next decade.
There will not be time to achieve this by the time (if ever) Project 2025 is reversed.

Dr Ruth Ben-Ghiat discussed this in her weekly live forum a few weeks ago, explaining when citizens have no other recourse to the hostile takeover of an authoritarian movement, public demonstrations go around the propaganda being churned out that has a segment of the population in illusion.
