@EODHappyCaptain Yes.

@infantrydort You need to compare their “fighting spirit” (how do you measure that anyway?) now when they are not going to be in the fight with what theirs was when they were in uniform. Bluster is easy when you don’t have to put anything on the line.

Taiwan’s military recently released its 2025 National Defense Report.

While there is no English version yet, I want to translate and break down this report into 3 threads:

1️⃣ Security Environment & Strategy
2️⃣ Modern Force Structure & Systems
3️⃣ Procurement & Budget

Follow @TaiwanMonitor for more, but here is Part 1 🧵

@johnkonrad Along similar lines, a previous boss had written on his wall, “What you accept from the staff becomes the standard.”

@infantrydort 1) Has anyone ever won a war as quickly as they think they are going to?
2) Mental health and resiliency is going to be pretty important to the people that fight the war whether it’s quick or not.

@Mollyploofkins Yes, totalitarian and theocratic regimes are known for their reliance on trained and educated experts…

‘Ukrainian artillerists say they aren’t using howitzers any less because of drones. They are telling the U.S. and other allies that big guns retain some key advantages, not least greater firepower.’ https://t.co/cWXjzP87gk

Unbelievably irresponsible. SSRIs have enabled millions to get their lives back, including me.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nation’s top health official, falsely suggested psychiatric drugs may have played a role in the Minnesota Catholic school shooting — a statement widely criticized as unsupported by science. https://t.co/wSktqKyi0n

@NATOSource Very on-brand for Russia. “No fair you breaking neutrality in response to us breaking security guarantees and invading without provocation!”

Imagine you moved to North America in the 1600s and claimed you could decide who is an American while killing and stealing from people who had been there for thousands of years.

[Jack Posobiec @JackPosobiec]

Imagine your parents moved to Italy in the 70s and you claimed you were “just as Italian” as a centuries-long family from Sicily

That's what the American question is all about

The most self-serving, dishonest interpretation of a pretty straightforward parable I have ever heard

[Megan Basham @megbasham]

Well, the discussion wasn’t about the parable, but if you wanna talk about that, I’m happy to do that. What you seem to be missing is that the love shown by the good Samaritan is so extravagant that every single person on this planet fails to meet that standard. Only one has ever shown that kind of love.

And that was the point of the parable. To show us how far we are from God’s standard so that we realize that only by taking on the righteousness of Christ, could we ever meet it.

It’s not actually a story just telling you to be nice to people. It’s a story pointing you to your need for a perfect Savior.
