My question is, how many of their personnel are actually Emiratis, and not just contractor expats?

We talkin Red Storm Rising? Phenomenal book.

Yeah that’s horseshit. did ya get some gold shoes?

It’s good, but some of the CGI is surprisingly BAD. Far worse than miniature work would’ve been. Surprising they let it air like that, but the stories aren’t the planes, it’s the people and characters.

I see it completely the opposite direction, respectfully. Trump’s presence on the ticket drives moderates and never-Trumpers away.

Happy because he knew it wouldn’t happen? Causing fractures and potentially an end to the alliance?

And lost another landing ship (loaded with munitions apparently) today. Big boom. I think I’d read another Su-34 and possibly Su-30 brought down as well.

^ okay Macho Man Randy Savage…oooooh yeah ^

Remember on Billy Madison, when he grabs the chubby kid by the cheeks and tells him to cherish where he is forever? That.

Dude got charged DUI in his hometown of Butte MT… got himself banned on Delta for awhile too back during the masking days.

lol you think Trump actually gives two fucks about anything beyond himself

Who needs dams anyway?

You mean the Hatch Act that the previous President ignored and obliterated, notably holding the RNCC at the White House? I really wish they’d do away with that law entirely, seems like a Rules for thee but none for me situation. Fed employees are held to it, but the political leadership do whatever they want without consequence.

That minivan obviously lost!

Yeah. Some of it is that site’s angle is funny with the continuous updates, like it’s earth-shattering stuff that this is being done. I’m sure the sight is an odd one. Honestly though it’d be pretty irresponsible if the US WEREN’T doing some FME here.

So it’s headed to FME…not sure what the story is here.

Huh, I didn’t know that, thanks.

Ghosts big enough to have a heat signature for an IR missile to track on, apparently. I don’t think the concept of a transponder or ADS-B out requirement is unreasonable. At a certain point it’s required for drones, and obviously it’s possible to blur the lines between a balloon and a UAS. Just my personal observation, but working ATC all last week there was a bunch of depicted precipitation on my display, while we were 10+SM CLR, that normally isn’t there. Had to manually turn it off each time I took position, annoying. Now they run software updates and adjustments all the time, but that idea that the filters all got adjusted across the NAS after senior admin got caught with their pants down with the big spy balloons, and now we’re seeing a bunch of stuff that’s been there the whole time that was previously just filtered out, seems plausible to me.

Replying in kind, of course, whatever drivel a reporter conjures to prop up your worldview is gospel truth? We should ask Brian Williams what really happened, he was probably there setting the charges himself.

It’s a good thing Pulitzer-winning reporters are incapable of making shit up.

I’m not into elf of a shelf personally, but this is a cool photo from today’s fini ferry.
