Dear followers 🙌
I have a relaxed follow back policy, but I would appreciate to see even a short introduction in your handle. 🙇‍♂️
But no swet, it is totally ok not to have it and just to hang around.💁‍♂️

I do not use block lists. I judge only by actions. We can disagree, but no ad hominem, slur etc.

“the president’s nakedly partisan appeal to U.S. military officers was a violation of every standard of American civil-military relations, and exactly what George Washington feared could happen with an unscrupulous commander in chief.”

Hegseth's speech at Quantico is the culmination of a decade of MAGA influencers invoking anti-elite populism to rile up troops and company grade officers against distrusted generals, so it would be interesting to hear from colleagues on how far this undermines military cohesion

I think a ton of people are burying the lead with the Pete Hegseth speech.

"Oh he's fat shaming people!"

bitch he just said he wants to NO LONGER FOLLOW THE GENEVA CONVENTION WHEN IT COMES TO RULES OF ENGAGEMENT!

Forcing all those generals to witness how amateurish and foolish both Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are firsthand might increase the chances of illegal orders being ignored in the future.

Spoiler: "Putin's escalation" is not "far worse" than anybody thought, if they have been paying any attention at all.

But there's no doubt it *will* get "far worse" without effective and determined deterrence from Europe.

Putin's escalation is far worse than we thought - Europe's drone wall is not enough
Europeans have little idea of the true scale of Russia’s 'hybrid attack' campaign against them – this must change if we are to respond adequately

Big Bloomberg report on Russian election meddling in Moldova. Tactics include recruitment of Moldovan voters abroad, staging protest and disinfo campaigns, and (this seems like the worst one) “the use of compromising material to pressure public officials to disrupt the electoral process.”

So Trump designated Antifa as a "domestic terrorist organization" - a weird move for many reasons, including both that the US doesn't have a framework for designating domestic terrorist organizations, and that Antifa lacks the organizational structure to be called an organization at all.
