Air Power’s Lost Cause: The American Air Wars of Vietnam, Brian Laslie. Rowman & Littlefield 2021.
I’m mortified that I forgot this book from @brianlaslie.bsky.social. An outstanding book. Covers the air war in all its iterations. #histbookchat.

Have we considered that there is no one to negotiate with if we keep killing them?
There’s a saying that goes something like : amateurs study tactics whereas professionals study logistics.
Good short briefer. IMO the key point: “Trump has become increasingly enamored of the use of military force within specific limits. He has seen the US military as a way of getting cheap wins, of executing what he can claim are overwhelmingly successful operations and for which he can take credit.”
If only someone had written a book on this topic…
Well, as military strategists Clausewitz and Jomini would both say, “damn, whatever’s in those Epstein files must be REALLY bad”
If only we taught this book among USAF officers.... OH wait we do!
But this admin fires dissenters.
This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.
2025 has become the deadliest for Ukrainians-

Damir suffered a head injury&is now in intensive care
We will probably count in the thousands the number of people who will likely die as a result of this decision, which flows directly from RFKJr's anti vaxxer hysteria. www.wsj.com/health/pharm...
This!
So true
The IOC has barred Ukrainian Olympian Vladyslav Heraskevych from wearing a helmet featuring portraits of Ukrainian athletes killed by Russia at the 2026 Games.
He plans to formally appeal the decision.
US Grant, who was a junior officer at the time, and a participant in the invasion, in his memoirs:
"For myself, I was bitterly opposed to the measure, and to this day regard the war, which resulted, as one of the most unjust ever waged by a stronger against a weaker nation."

Let this sink in. These are war crimes that we’ve become numb to.
Unfortunately a lot of Americans will agree with his ignorant post because they don’t understand the complexity of military operations.
my son is five, same age as Liam Ramos. you don't need to have a child the same age to be fucking horrified by the violence we are doing (and HAVE BEEN doing) upon immigrant children in this nation. but that he keeps asking for his spidey backpack is the kind of detail that rips my heart in two.
Why does Ukraine keep giving Washington a voice in anything to do with negotiations?
The US is acting is as bad of faith as Putin. Trump’s guarantees are utterly worthless, much like his claims he’d abide by NATO’s Article 5.
I’m turning the news off for the day to spend time in the snow with my kids. I leave you with this.

In three years either ICE will be abolished or the USA will be a police state. Hard to see it ending any other way.
The proper word for this is an execution.
Jesus Christ.
Multiple goons had a man on the ground but that wasn't enough brutality for them. One had to pull his gun and shoot someone who was prone on the sidewalk.
They're going to tell us the agent feared for his life and was justified.
ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.
He does this every time, it’s just how nature works
This is the right take morally and politically. If your Dem rep or senator has said something along these lines, shower praise on them! If they haven't taken a stance, you should be pissed, and let them know that too. And if they're up for reelection in a safe seat in a competitive primary, well...
