The air campaign over Yemen wasn’t a failure of execution; it was a failure of strategy. Biden and Trump both bet on airpower to coerce the Houthis, despite decades of evidence that it can’t force political change. Tactical success, strategic futility. My latest⬇️

I think it’s pretty notable there were 40 minutes between the first missile and second missile which is a very abnormal amount of time to debate what to do
NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.
The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.
"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"
Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

Finally, an issue we can triangulate against trump to win back men!
Trump: "When you look at football in the US, soccer -- we seem to never call it that, because we have a little bit of a conflict with another thing that's called football. But when you think about it, shouldn't it really be called football? We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff."

Man who says you should shoot paintballs at tanks has opinion
John Spencer’s post makes several claims:
1. Criticism of the U.S. National Security Strategy is evidence of personal bias, not substantive disagreement.
He frames dissent as a psychological issue (“triggering for you”), implying emotional instability.

I think it’s funny they dropped it at like 10:00 on a Thursday night, shows how much they care (they don’t)
Will they actually follow the NSS? probably not, no. Is it still bad they let the turbo chuds write US national security policy? yes
