As usual for Jack Watling, this is a fabulously data & evidence-rich paper on what the Ukrainian battlefield looks like today. A pivotal role for drones & ground robots—but also for tanks, armour & artillery, each coming into its own at different moments in an assault www.rusi.org/explore-our-...

We’re currently spending an entire military aid package to Ukraine’s worth of money on a fucking ballroom.
Trump raises the price of the ballroom to $350 million

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

Their track record on identifying messages and slogans etched onto bullets is pretty poor, so this should be taken with an ocean full of salt.

CAS is no longer about platforms but TTPs; a well-trained JTAC is more important than the platform characteristics. The A-10 debate is nonsense.

We could have been providing military aid to Ukraine. We could have been building our partnerships in the Pacific. We could have strengthened Europe’s defense industrial base. We could have helped build state capacity in South America.

What a fucking disaster this has all been.

I assume the main problem is trying to update the storyline to reflect all the new AI military contractors and running into legal issues with the Tolkien estate because they're all named after Middle Earth bullshit.

Pour comprendre et expliquer certaines franges du spectre politique, notamment aux USA mais pas seulement, il faut des journalistes spécialisés dans les bas fonds des internets.

Le traitement de l'arrestation d'un jeune de l'Eure membre du groupe 764 avait été très léger.
