All is well, thank you so much! 2 year old granddaughter had open heart surgery on a Thursday morning. She was skipping out of the hospital by noon Sunday. Modern medicine is a miracle!

Yup - Clark is happily negative one point on this one Woke up, checked my phone and holy shit, this was unexpected

Looks like Operation Just Cause 2.0 has officially kicked off.

They just tried to elect a president. If the military doesn't try to assert control, they'll have a leader who is very Western-friendly. With what just happened, I doubt the Venezuelan generals are eager to take over the role of dictator at the moment. There should be no other puppeteers in our hemisphere.

Better us than Russia / China. Like it or not, this action opens up the possibility of getting things straight in this part of the world and countering negative influence by multiple malign actors.

After an incident like this MX will get anal probing. Back in the 90's the F-15 had a known discrepancy in the tech order on how to rig the stabilators, these were rigged backwards, and pilot didn't notice it until he tried to takeoff from Spangdahlem, it was a fatal mistake. The following actions where the tech data was finally fixed and maintenance personnel whose name was in the 781 were court martialed, later one committed suicide and the MXG guys refused to sign any red X off in the forms because the witch hunt that was going on. The mission of that wing slammed to a stop because mx folks were in full career preservation mode and screw the sortie count. I bet JBERS will go through some painful soul searching, lives destroyed, careers scuttled, MX actions going into slow crawl mode. Mueller v. US Dept. of Air Force, 63 F. Supp. 2d 738 (E.D.
