And, of course, also the fact that both parties are offering complete morons for candidates!

Agreed, but the real fault lies with the fucktards that keep re-electing them!!

DOD Halts Cybersecurity Requirements for CMMC Phase 2: ‘The math just simply doesn’t math’ The Pentagon placed an immediate freeze on forthcoming cybersecurity requirements after government research suggested the policy would drive many businesses out of the defense industrial base at a time when the U.S. military urgently needs their innovations. Defense Department Chief Information Officer Kirsten Davies and Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment Michael Duffey unveiled plans Monday to suspend the much-anticipated Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Phase 2 requirements that were set to take effect Nov. 10. A new CMMC Reform Task Force is expected to conduct a review of the entire program and submit a report of its findings and recommendations within the next 60 days. This major pause comes as contractors have been hustling to obtain third-party assessments of their CMMC compliance in preparation for that near-term enforcement date...

You actually think the war in Ukraine and the eventual war in Taiwan will be anywhere similar?!? Other than both have/will involve drones; the latter will be over before any of those " metric shit ton of weapons" are employed (if they aren't already taken out of the fight via cyber).

Are you shitting us?!?

Uh I beg to differ Red_Dawn_1_9_Movie_CLIP_Paratrooper_Invasion_1984_HD.mp4

paratroopers do not take over a country.

Oh, that’s right, those Russian paratroopers in Kyiv were peacekeepers.

What a shit showing for the final game. Didn't play like Americans at all. No grit, no heart. Perhaps all the political shit with the red card messed with their heads. It was extremely disappointing. Guess I'll root for...Spain.

Concur on all. Europe is doing exactly what you said and moving away from Microsoft for multiple reasons. They're moving to Linux. Did you go Linux or Apple?

I thought they reported he was killed in Iran War 1. Good to see him make a cameo in Iran War 2.

Have we? Have you seen what we "depleted" giving things to Taiwan or are you just parroting the talking points? 31 Abrams Tanks 300 Bradleys 180 155MM Artillery pieces 72 105MM artillery pieces 18 155MM Paladins 10,000 Javalins 10,000 TOWs ATACMS 2 Harpoons...TWO! Not a lot of need for any of this in a fight with China over Taiwan. The fight with China is about BIG stand-off, maybe if we degrade enough you can argue the AGM-88s HARM, but they have all been older versions. We did give some ALD-160 MALD missiles, again all older and the new jammer version is being delivered to USAF in quantity. On the Air-to Air Front we gave them: AIM-7s - oh the humanity...whatever will we do without the great white whale? AIM-9M - Old! AIM-130A/B/C8 - Again older variants and if you know anything about air to air procurement you would know a LOT of new stuff was already in production and being delivered when the war started. Only two weapons system concern me: Patriot - The Ukrainians are now making them indigenously. Artillery rounds - production has quadrupled and they are still wanting to produce more, but that is not for a fight with China. Have you bothered to look at the NDAA and what the services are trying to buy on the weapons front? ALL Standoff, goolge FAMM, SCM, JDAM-LR...

taking over ukraine was never russia's strategic goal. post cold war i never saw them as a threat to us. meanwhile we have depleted a metric shit ton of weapons supporting that comedian zelenski while the real threat china lurks in the pacific. hardly something to be celebrating about.

https://nypost.com/2026/07/13/us-news/ex-iran-president-mahmoud-ahmadinejad-said-to-be-under-house-arrest-over-reported-israeli-contacts/ Not gonna lie, the headline made me laugh. In this day and age who even knows what's real anymore. This could actually have been a plan to get a predictable leader installed back in Iran OR it could be a false flag by the IRGC leadership to keep him out and them in.

I thought Iran was out of: Missiles Bombs Drones Mil aircraft Mil ships I also thought Iran had few, if any: Working radar Sensors But, like the Energizer bunny, they just keep going and going...

Yeah it would be really fucking nice if for a change we didn't have literal invalids sitting in some of the 500 most powerful positions in the country. The gerontocracy needs to come to an end. It's absolutely bananas that the people with the least skin in the game are running everything.

So to recap the past few days: Back to shooting at each other. Something something decimated yet Iran is still punching back. Both sides are charging tolls now, with Iran claiming the MOU permits them to (it sort of does since it was terribly written) and our admin acting the part of children and copying them action for action again. So much for freedom of nav... Can't wait for China to point to our great example setting. Israel is still doing their own thing not listening to anyone. Congress has previously voted to direct the executive branch to end the conflict or get actual approval for the war. Realistically this is showmanship because no one will suffer consequences for ignoring it. So with that in mind... What are our goals and strategic objectives here? Does anyone have a plan or did Israel trick trump and Co into thinking this would go smoothly like Venezuela? Because I'm pretty sure it's the latter. Israel doesn't care if it goes on for longer as they benefit while the admin thought it would be a quick 3 day special military op. Now they're rightly ed and can't get out of the fire they started.

Has nothing to do with Iran...going back to your previous statements that Ukraine was gonna lose. For less the $200B (one fifth of one year's defense budget), Russia has suffered 450,000 KILLED, including 1600 in one day this past weekend and they are farther from victory than ever before. Those numbers are STAGGERING, equating to fully one third of all births in a single year. Russia is changed for a generation if not longer.

Mitch Staff says he was in the hospital due to a fall. I think it was more than gravity that caused said fall, maybe a Biden tripping hazard jumped in front of him. Here's him a year ago. And here's him yesterday. Spittin' image of a robustly healthy dude? Is she holding him up? I like the proof of life newspaper, nice touch. Weekend at Bernie's!

That dude who ducked wins the luckiest guy of the year award...but then when he touched the hot barrel is LOL.
