US close air support aircraft are blowing up Iranian linked Iraqi militias crossing the border from Iraq into Syria to go fight for the Syrian National Army.

"Starve before doing business with the Navy."

Rule #11, Skunk Works, via Kelly Johnson.

The one that didn't had extensive experience, leading the Red Cross, Under secretary to someone in the army, advance degrees in management, a worthy resume in my view.

That's what this pick has going for him. He runs a private investment firm. That means he's good at analyzing businesses and managing the people doing the grunt work on it. About to top one of the most mismanaged entities, that's part of the most mismanaged entity, in the fed.

625 4-star flag officers in the US military and none of them have enough money to run the Navy. Sad.

It takes that much experience and political ambition to fail 7 audits in a row.

Hezbollah is trying to flee Lebanon to reinforce Syria Nationals. The IDF is expected to break the cease fire and bomb them. They've already struck military border posts between the two countries. Iranian militias are trying to reinforce the government forces at Hama.

The Syrian National Army has rallied and currently has halted the offensive at Hama.

Assad's Chief of Security has launched a coup against Assad. The Syrian Republican Guard & Fourth Division are battling in Damascus, the 4th trying to capture Assad family members. The Syrian army is retreating from every front.

HTS is an al Qaeda front that "broke away" so it can be a route for Western arms, while fighting alongside al Qaeda.

245x fewer daily active users than Twitter. That's a large mountain to climb for a curated echo chamber.

Interestingly, or not if you are cynical, Vindman used his Ukrainian connections from the Trump admin to monetize the conflict along with his brother, and started a military contractor group providing front line technical services.

We have the luxury of not really being at war. Once you need fodder, criminal records and can't read go first, then those with drug and health problems, then those with dependents.

I am going to bet they do everything they can to close the loan before the handover. You can bet this is burning Elon's short hairs and a giant flip of a finger to Trump.

Super scared bro, for realz, of a failing company in an industry where most electric startups fail, that sells less than 1% of what Tesla does quarterly.

"Rivian reported a net loss of $1.08 per share in Q3 2023, and a net loss of $5.4 billion for the entire year. The company is also losing more than $32,000 on each EV it sells."

Sebastian Gorka, Trump's nominee for Director of National Security Policy, calls Putin a "murderous, former KGB colonel" and a "thug".

He then claims that Trump plans to end the Ukraine by threatening to flood Ukraine with more military "aid".

Trump will act first, by nuking NATO and handing the Ukraine to Putin.

Trump is promising to flood Ukraine with all of the gear that Biden would not send.

It's 71% that are ineligible to serve in the US. Of that 71%, 31% are obese. The rest have health problems, drug problems, criminal records, dependents, or can't read.

The funny thing about inflation is that you can't suppress that information unless you want to repress the sale of groceries.

The Biden admin tried. They tried so hard it got Trump elected.
