The Air Force keeps pushing the public perception that it won’t be happy until the President is pinning Medals of Honor on transgender RPA pilot influencers. If that’s not the Air Force’s core focus, it’s doing a bad job of showing it.

Can’t figure out why in the hell we didn’t start mining there over the 20 years. Infinite work for the locals. I guess rare earths didn’t seem important enough until recently.

“Its website lists six right-wing personalities, including Dave Rubin, who has more than 2.4 million YouTube subscribers; Tim Pool, a podcast host with more than 1.3 million YouTube followers; Benny Johnson, whose YouTube channel has nearly 2.4 million subscribers; and one user on an obscure military aviation forum whose members haven’t been cool for more than a decade.”

Alright how many of you work for a Tennessee media company https://www.cbsnews.com/news/russia-tenet-media-right-wing-influencers-justice-department/

“Get a lawyer” is the standard advice that everyone (including me) gave, but on further thought the private attorney route could be prohibitively expensive. Does anyone have an example of how much something like an FEB lawyer has cost? I’ve heard two cases of divorce lawyers costing $150-300k, which is extremely unfortunate and wouldn’t have been worth it in retrospect.

Two things can be true; both of them are dudes that wear eyeliner.

This may seem irrelevant, but you’ve got to get out of the habit of making statements that end in question marks. It makes you seem somewhat clueless. Regarding your FEB problem, whatever it is that has caused your command to take administrative actions, that’s the cause. Talk to a lawyer, no idea who or what kind.

None of these legacy fighter pipeline problems matter. We’re moving forward with NGAD. Oh wait

Airplanes generally don’t enter fiery spins unless acted upon by an outside force. Reference every single crash video from Russia in the last 2 years

The buffer zone encapsulated by the 3 wrecked bridges, just to keep the scale in context. I wouldn’t call it a land grab of major strategic importance other than forcing Russia to divert resources. Still a great example of how even a modest use of air power in the right place can overwhelm an enemy’s ability to fight.

US (proudly): “We’ve organized our entire military to fight an air/sea war in the Taiwan Straits!” Opponents: “OK, then we’ll fight you somewhere else in some other way.” US: “…you can’t do that we got rid of the other shit.”

Thought experiment: If the cost of Ukraine assistance was a tenth of what it currently is but still as effective in pushing Russia’s shit in, would the same American commentators still be complaining? Of course they would, because it’s not really about the money, it’s about a combination of 1.) politically countering Democrat administration successes and 2.) actual sympathy towards Russian efforts.

Russian propaganda is directly influencing conservative media and indirectly influencing you if you think that specific 0.01% of the budget is the problem to focus on. Best ROR of any defense spending program ever. Because fuck Putin, that’s why.

The anti-Ukraine movement is Russian propaganda that MAGA has stupidly bitten off on because it’s a counter to a wildly successful venture by the current administration. For a pittance (<1% of our normal defense spending), we’ve enabled the Russian military to destroy itself by proving the overwhelming superiority of American weapons (very old ones, at that) in the hands of motivated locals. The effort has helped deter those who use FSU-derived weaponry while upending the idea that a modern Army can just steamroll a determined (and well-equipped) local populace at will. Taiwan would be wise to use the same posture to deter China. Putin is a shithead sacrificing Russian youth to overcompensate for his insecurities. He is a tiny-dicked fuck that deserves a horrible death, which he will eventually get because the oligarchs would rather make money than see it dissolve in a war.

The USG spent $6.13T in FY23. $69B of that went to Ukraine, sort of, because a significant portion went to our defense industry. If you think our budget problems are due to giving munitions to Ukraine, maybe you’ve been listening to too many clowns.

Ah fuck. Didn’t know Macho was Danger41. Fuck.

Just like the KC-767, the common wisdom was that buying something that already exists should’ve been a clean kill. Requirements creep destroyed that dream. FWIW, everyone wanted the T-50 because it was already in service, but our acquisitions process would’ve messed that up as much as the T-7.

This is actually a root cause for a lot of our problems. Our leaders are chastised by Army generals for thinking that pilots are special (because theirs aren’t). Kills bonuses and morale.

No no, SATCOM will always work. Do not be concerned. We will fight future wars completely from American soil. We need to fund those acquisitions now at the expense of all others.

A nation with technical enthusiast volunteers is a strong nation. Thanks for what you do.

Airlines don’t want you to grow goatees because they don’t want you mfs looking like these guys and taking truck selfies in the cockpit. And they’re right

Who knows if it was chance over deliberately planned, but it does look like there’s a tree that could be a factor. I also wouldn’t underestimate the shrewdness of even an below-average person that’s planning their final act.

Root cause is Putin’s tiny dick and no one will convince me otherwise. Only Xi’s is maybe smaller

That’s a revisionist goal if I ever heard one. Putin wanted to take over Ukraine, made clear when he set his army off directly toward Kiev from the start. He got his shit pushed in and has gotten a quarter million Russian kids killed to save face. He’s a total shit head, probably because his dick is tiny.
