With the enormous loss of people and hardware in the current entanglement with Ukraine, how is Russia going to pull off going further afield attacking several more countries (with a couple nuke holders in the mix) in the next 4 years?

@ClearedHot Do you think the letter released above was a wag the dog tactic in reference to the Belfast attack and proximity to the Henry Nowak murder? It’s interesting reading the letter, the British establishment is still in denial about where they are now and the direction of travel of their country. It’s not good, ours is better than theirs still challenging with our own problems ahead but different. It’s important for them to be a credible and capable NATO partner but power and power in excess to be able to project it for whatever reason comes from security, stability and prosperity at home. Personally, I think they should take the prediction and analysis of Prof David Betz very seriously. https://www.militarystrategymagazine.com/article/civil-war-comes-to-the-west-part-ii-strategic-realities/

Didn't everyone think Tulsi was a Russian agent or something? What ever happened to that narrative?

Trump has an overzealous commitment to loyalty but then most politicians do and an belief that successful businessmen can do anything.

Yeah, gotta admit this one has me scratching my cranium! Avril Haines, Michael Morell, Sue Gordon, Paul Nakasone, Scott Berrier, Lisa Monaco, Tom Donilon, Jen Easterly and Chris Inglis all would have been better options in that they at least have some experience in the spooky world of intelligence! Continuity picks (Haines, Gordon): Stability, low disruption Operators (Morell, Berrier): Strong intelligence tradecraft focus Cyber-focused (Nakasone, Easterly, Inglis): Future-oriented threats Policy drivers (Monaco, Donilon): Strong White House alignment If the goal is stability and experience → Avril Haines or Sue Gordon If the goal is modernization and cyber → Nakasone or Easterly If the goal is policy integration → Monaco or Donilon Bill Pulte has zero intelligence community experience (CIA, NSA, DIA, ODNI), no national security leadership background, no history in government intelligence oversight and no Senate-confirmable track record in similar roles. Hell, if I can AI my way through who would be the best choice, Trump or someone in his cabinet should be able to do the same! At least Gabbard served in the military and participated in intelligence oversight via Armed Services subcommittee work. That far from qualifies her for the job, but it's more than Pulte has! Overall, Gabbard’s tenure can best be summarized as high-impact but contentious. Supporters view her as a reformer who reduced bureaucracy, increased transparency and challenged entrenched practices within the intelligence community. Critics see her as weakening institutional norms, politicizing intelligence and expanding the DNI’s role in ways that risk undermining long-standing boundaries. In short, she delivered substantial change, but at the cost of significant controversy and division.

Way to go there, Mr Step On Your Own Dick (oh wait, it was bitten off by a minor trafficked by your buddy Epstein) by telling the world/enemy what you're going to do. Tards. Why is our government full of full blown tards. I have never seen an admin full of so many tards. Did someone raid the worlds biggest tart-fest? Sure, look back in history and you'll find a tard or so in every admin. But this one is chock full of tards. If Kharg was a goal, why not plan, prep, take in secret. A way better headline would have been, "Yesterday the US Military took full control or Kharg Island." And everyone would be, wha...? Wow... And Iran would be like, wha..? Wow... We're fucked...

Not downplaying the threat of Russia but methinks they have other more pressing threats than a Russia tied up in Ukraine

Trump attends NBA game 3, Nicks lose. Fans blame Trump. Boo. Game 4, a most epic come back, Nicks win, Taylor Swift was there, fans say she broke the Trump curse. Nicks fans: Swift for President. Honestly, that would probably be a bigly yuge improvement. The Daily BeastTaylor Swift Helps Knicks Beat the Curse of Trump in Jaw-...The Knicks are back on track after Wednesday night’s win over the Spurs.

Pulte—the grandson of William J. Pulte, billionaire founder of homebuilding giant PulteGroup and a Mar-a-Lago member—has no intelligence background whatsoever. He currently serves as director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, roles Trump confirmed he will keep while moonlighting as the nation’s spy chief. At this point, Tulsi was a better pick. Isn't there an absolute boot licker out there that also been an exec at one of the many intel orgs out there? None?

I have considered that like ALWAYS you are the contrarian to almost anything I or anyone conservative posts. For the record, I have several VERY close Brit friends that I served with for many years. Both have been discussing and sharing with me for months. The major point to be made is the intel apparatus in Europe believes Russia may attack and all you can do is twist it into yet another passive aggressive personal attack about my rationale.

Someone could probably correct me if I'm wrong, but yeah you'll need a 2808. That's the document with the blue stamp on it that says you got FCI. That comes straight from Wright Patt.. I believe this document is valid for 4 years. The 2992 Im pretty sure is just from your flight doc. That needs to show also you are FCI rated along with an expiration that exceeds your training timeline I believe. Mine says: "THIS 2992 IS VALID FOR 48 MONTHS UNTIL MEMBER IS TRAINED. MUST HAVE ANNUAL FLY PHA TO STAY CURRENT ON FLIGHT STATUS" I also got a AF422? Which shows your clearance in a printed form for whatever job you're trying to apply for. Mine says 92T0. BLUF: If the package calls for it, you have to submit it. Pretty sure the only thing different for flyers is we gotta submit our training record/eval record. I think.

Have you considered maybe he was forced out by the party and is playing politics to cause damage / prep his political prospects? I generally don't go from not believing a politician from a different party to all of the sudden hanging on every word just because they're saying something that fits my world view.

30 minutes ago Uk Defense Minister John Healey resigned and sent a scathing letter to the PM claiming the defense of Great Britain is at risk and highlighting intelligence assessments from the UK and other European countries (not the U.S.), predicting an attack by Russian on NATO by 2030. It is important to note this is a long serving and very left leaning politician. If you follow European politics you will know there was great press two years ago when the Labor party came back to power...arguing "the adults are back in control." Now the realities of the world are colliding with unchecked immigration, entitlement spending and an inability to fund the defense of the nation. When the left leaning DM calls out the PM and publicly resigns you know there are issues and threats that need to be addressed.

Dudes with giant balls make biff sport wood. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Skid Row (not the band) is what happens when nobody takes care of the drug and homeless problem. They have kicked the can so far that entire city blocks are shanty towns. It's a real bummer.

Confirmed. Those dudes had giant balls.

holy crap, loop entry at -1500’ and exit at -900’. I would have smacked the dude’s helmet if I’d been in there (after i cleaned my drawers). That beast has pretty impressive maneuverability. ** Biff’s going to sport wood when he sees this.

Definitely a babe, but I’m not digging the saline/silicone enhancement. Not that babes who look like that care, but I prefer au naturale.

Didn't Patty Wagstaff fly one our T-6s in some airshows way back when?
