"Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one"

Thailand said it used F-16 fighter jets to bomb Cambodian military targets on Monday to retaliate against cross-border firing that killed at least one Thai soldier, in a sharp escalation of a dispute between the two nations that President Trump claimed to have ended.

To be clear (I'm an expert) there isn't a snowball's chance in hell that any meaningful deep maintenance or any software maintenance or mods at all, will be done in Canada, ever.

The industrial benefits on the F-35 are virtually non existent.

Claims otherwise are simply gaslighting.

In light of Putinism having become official US foreign policy, I write that any US peace deal accepted by Ukraine should be tolerated, but that its outcome will increase the threats to the free world as the Trump admin treaty’s central goal is to unshackle and support Putin

A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”
