There are some leftists who believe, much like those who make excuses for an abusive alcoholic ex, that we are obligated to tip around the expansionist imperial power that once annexed half of Europe and held a 100 million people under dystopian despotism and has ambitions to it again …
Please god can we stop with this bullshit. For fucks sake the left really needs to have a come to Jesus moment and realize that yes, sometimes if you want to have the freedoms they champion you do actually need to fight for them under force of arms.
After years of warnings that the war in Ukraine could spiral into a full-on Russia-Europe conflagration, the conflict has reached a point where this is a real possibliity. It’s a prospect that threatens not just European lives but the entire globe.
We’re gonna have to figure some sort of special category for this man because I don’t think the bi or pan folks are gonna claim this man, maybe macho sexual, I dunno, maybe metrosexual.
Trump on Jon Husted: "I don't do this with men very often. I started examining his body, because I didn't know he was a great athlete ... I looked at his ass"

I'm actively hostile to the aura of the operator cult but it's remarkable how many officers Hegseth is purging actually are the airfield-seizing, terrorist zapping doorkickers that Hegseth (and Vance, and most of them) pretends to be on TV.
Also pulled from the 1-star list: Col. Molly Solsbury, intel officer who was in 5th SFG, Delta Force, and JSOC before running Project Maven. And from the 2-star list, Brig. Gen. Andrew Saslav, a former Ranger company commander who’d been targeted last year on this list of ostensibly “woke” officers
Well the citizens of a number of them have ran peaceful resistance movements against a force or paramilitary thugs who like to shoot people in the street. One had thier capital city out under occupation for a bit and continued to resist. That one borders Canada mate just saying.

www.goodreads.com/review/show/... I want to shout out Nelly Lahoud's excellent book on bin Laden and Al Qaeda, which is based on the Abbottabad papers. Among other things, it punctures the myth that, in launching 9/11, OBL intended to draw the US into quagmires in the Islamic World that would/
Nope, burn the fucking server farms.
Anthropic says that during routine testing some of its models accessed the internet and hacked into three separate organizations' systems – and that it didn't notice the models had done so until an internal review prompted by rival OpenAI disclosing its models did the same. https://cnn.it/3TKkl0L

Of all the stories this World Cup, I think Cape Verde’s has been the one that has truly proved Soccer, Football, whatever you call it to be the beautiful game.
From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: In their first-ever appearance at a World Cup, Cape Verde have taken points off two teams that have won the tournament three times between them (Spain in 2010 and Uruguay in 1930 and 1950). nyti.ms/4vza1qv
Jesus wept, y’all qaeda is real, but apparently not what we believed it to be.
At the “Don’t Sharia My Texas” luncheon at the Texas GOP convention, two Muslim lawmakers are being accused of implementing Sharia by…using the legislative process…. to propose non-binding resolutions… that recognize Ramadan or combat Islamophobia.

Combined with its mid-range strike capability, deep strike drone capability represent a huge advantage Ukrainian precision fires. And it is showing. Watch this space over coming months.
The conclusion is that Moscow's air defenses were militarily overwhelmed on day one of Ukraine's airstrikes on the Russian capital. By a force of only 130 strike drones. Most of them were intercepted, but enough got through to strike valuable targets. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV92...
Rubio is such a cowardly spineless limpdick piece of shit.
Rubio: “I think China's preference is probably to have Taiwan willingly voluntarily join them.” This is almost certainly the Trump administration laying the groundwork to abandon Taiwan, just like they did with Ukraine. Authoritarians around the world will celebrate.
I think something the far right misunderstands is that liberals love their children, friends, and family as much as they do. And while there is a cultural distaste for violence they aren’t above it to protect those they love and if things really, god forbid, “go loud” are as likely to take up arms.
I recommend reading this article it is deeply disturbing and says a lot about where we are as a nation. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/assassin-w...

Motherfucker. These stupid fuckwit pieces of shit sent American sons and daughters ostensibly to war to stop the danger of an Iranian nuke & not only lost… they undermined conventional deterrence thus making a greater nuclear conflagration more likely over Taiwan. The idiocy continues to astound.
Because of highly imprudent utilization of munitions in the Iran War, the US now assesses that it is no longer in a position to defend Taiwan should China decide to attack, reports WSJ. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
Taking a quick stab at this I think to be frank a non status quo nat sec idea would be turning the United States from the world’s policeman to its EMT. Put simply USAID with teeth, a humanitarian action force that can stop genocide and do the Marshall plan funded like the US military.
The left in general needs to actually start putting forth policies of their own that aren’t quasi-tankie stuff. And there are real experts who want to talk about it from a different space then the old neo-con way but to do that we need a credible policy set that isn’t just isolationism.
