@edgecase411@ChadMoran Tesla doesn’t assume liability. I’m not going to pay $1200 a year to babysit a car when I can just drive it. I tried FSD and it made far too many odd calls with my kids in the car. Once they assume liability perhaps my tune will change.
@DerekTru@sentdefender@NASASpaceflight So why should anyone have believed in Starlink during its inception based on your argument? It didn’t exist yet and geostationary worked, albeit with latency.
@DerekTru@sentdefender@NASASpaceflight Why? Starship has problems too and SpaceX had Falcon 9’s blow up. SpaceX having a monopoly on LEO communications sats is not a good thing. Competition is good.
The careless decision to reduce our force posture in Europe, along with moves by Pete Hegseth and his political henchmen to force out some of our finest general officers is amateur hour at best and deadly at worst.
Hegseth continues to surprise and disrespect our greatest allies and some of our best military professionals with impulsive decisions not grounded in reality or good judgment. If the rumors are true that Hegseth is trying to sideline General Chris Donahue, one of our nation’s finest warfighters, by downgrading U.S. Army Europe-Africa to a 3-star command, he is taking another step down a dangerous path. A step that is not in the best interests of our nation or our servicemembers.
General Donahue has dedicated his entire career to upholding the high standards and warrior ethos that Hegseth claims he is restoring to our ranks. Gen. Donahue has led Soldiers at all levels in Airborne (including Ft. Bragg’s 82nd) and Mechanized units, the 75th Ranger Regiment, and our most prestigious special operation units. He deployed over 20 times in support of Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom, New Dawn, Inherent Resolve, Atlantic Resolve, Freedom’s Sentinel, European Assure, Deter and Reinforce, and in support of the Sudan crisis.
Hegseth would do well to surround himself with more patriots like General Donahue and to get his henchmen, who are not qualified to carry Donahue's bag, out of the Pentagon. Keep your word, Mr. Secretary: choose meritocracy over your mediocre yes-men.

This infuriates Trump and MAGA.
But it’s true:
Iran surrendered nearly all HEU.
The JCPOA put in place the most intrusive nuclear inspection regime ever.
Military bases were NOT completely off-limits.
Zero evidence Iran “cheated.”
Trump pulled out. Iran started up again.
Just two days after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the United States would not extend a sanctions exemption on the sale of some Russian oil, the Treasury Department did just that on Friday, issuing one for about a month.
