@jsblokland Well, and there's something to be said for letting the landscape form before committing to a path. The cost of getting on the wrong horse could be more expensive than being first.
Former South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol sentenced to 30 more years in prison. Convicted of flying drones toward North Korea to provoke tensions and justify his December 2024 martial law attempt.
How quickly the DragonBear narrative has been normalized over the last four years after fighting it for more than 10 years! How quickly the narrative of new Cold War is being normalized after fighting it over the last decade! But it's not what you think. It's US vs China-Russia.
Sure, 4K is nice, but there was nothing like sitting two inches away from one of these sweet bastards while your mother predicted you’d be as blind as Ray Charles by the following Thursday.
Petraeus: The U.S. has not remotely learned the lessons it should from Ukraine.
This is the future of war: Ukraine alone uses 10,000 drones a day, and 90% of Russian casualties are caused by drones. That should force institutional change. 1/
Know the rules… and exploit them.
An extremely significant event regarding Ukraine / US just happened, and most are unaware.
At the request of President Trump, @SpeakerJohnson has desk drawered a bill for Ukr Aid, knowing it would easily pass and putting Trump in an awkward position. To Congressmen Meeks, @DonJBacon and others, this was unacceptable given consistent 70% polling of US support for Ukraine. Using a protocol called a ‘Discharge Petition,’ they have overridden Speaker Johnson, forcing the bill to the floor.
In the next two weeks of session, the bill will come to vote. It will pass with an anticipated vote of +65%, forcing Trump to sign or veto it. Although Trump has been consistently opposed to further Ukrainian aid, a veto is a risky proposition given a 2/3ds override is quite possible and would appear to undermine President Trump’s position.
Very impressed by Meeks and Bacon. For nearly a year they’ve tenaciously pushed the discharge position, refusing to give up or give in, kowning the rules, and exploiting them.
