Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

So Russia is giving Iran targeting and intel on American forces in the Gulf.

So let me get this straight: Trump supports Russia, which supports Iran.

So, in Trump logic, Ukraine is the enemy.

Got it.

4chan went down for β€œmaintenance” this morning after we reported out this story. Not sure if it’s related yet but we’re keeping an eye on it

Discussing ethics of the new frontier of financial markets is like arguing about the color of the asteroid headed for earth.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP β€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

My report:

Now they decide to do due diligence?

Nice of them to get around to it.

It's a decent dunk but generally the flags aren't lowered for every servicemember killed.

He absolutely could. But it's not the norm. I'd be more bothered if he didn't attend the transfer of the remains, which I think he said he intends to do today.

Horrible shit on 4chan? What!?! Is it a day that ends in y again?

Look. You don't go to 4chan unless you are looking for the absolute bottom of the commercially available internet. If you want worse than that you have to go darkweb.

I prefer this talk be confined to the CoD waiting rooms in 2013.

A picture of a post from Senator Katie Britt announcing the USCGs selection of Birmingham Alabama as the site of their new training center to meet the intent of expanding their personnel by 15,0000.

It you were going to site a training center for a service with a strong boat/sea history and connections that predate the Navy. Would you choose Birmingham Alabama?

Roflmao.

If you just look at the things blowing up, it's going great. (It's not going great)

If you don't look at logistics, allies being attacked, coordination, counterattack anticipation intel, and overall strategy failures it's going great.

I know that the people who need to read this aren’t here, but here goes:

Rules of engagement aren’t for the enemy. They’re for you. They’re for your soldiers when they’re captured or wounded. They’re for your civilians when they’re in range of the enemy. They’re for your allies, to reassure.

But at this point plenty of communities have been burned by em. And they do talk to each other.

UK awards Leonardo $1.3B AW149 New Medium Helicopter contract - Breaking Defense The new AW149 fleet is desperately needed to plug a rotary capability gap left by retirement of the Puma HC2 fleet in March 2025.

How is this company doing this? They are freaking everywhere with every contract and I have yet to use a product of theirs that I would consider good.

There are still three or four options in the helicopter realm and the company that keeps winning really shouldn't be.

The threat posed by shaheds was 110% anticipated and anyone who says otherwise is either misinformed or lying

I'm aware that category apparently includes the SECDEF and chairman

Not gonna lie. I'm really proud of this metaphor. Kinda feel like I've struck gold.

You know the folks who never really left highschool and are desperate to recapture the feelings they had in those days.

Well, it gets worse. There's a whole other level.

Also we are now trapped in our neighbors house because every time we try to leave the bees come after us.

We went over to the beehive area of the neighborhood because that neighbor who lives over there doesn't like bees. So we hit a hive with a rock to make it be nice, but now all the beehives are active and it's really hard to get to work and who could have possibly forseen this.

REPORTER: Yesterday you told us Israel was going to strike Iran and that's why we needed to get involved. But today the president said Iran--

RUBIO: No. Were you there yesterday?

REPORTER: Yes. I asked the question

30 years ago Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club accurately predicted that men under late capitalism, empty consumers who had come to think of themselves as β€œthe middle children of history” with no great wars to fight, would eventually prank and shitpost their way into fascism.

The plural for airplane is airplanes.
The plural for helicopter is helicopters.

English is admittedly a silly language.

But the plural for aircraft remains aircraft.

I think they think it's a race to armageddon. I don't see them playing 4d chess. I see them reacting.

the people in charge, who've been in charge for most of my 40 years of life, are the first generation to have no memory of the world before this order was imposed, and they massively underestimated the natural instability of it's existence.

I too find it hard to believe they found that many chaplains corps rejects to be COs of units.

But it is a legit belief structure within the Christian faith and that is a WAY more interesting conversation than weirdos in the service.
