BREAKING Iran's Revolutionary Guards say they are waiting for US forces to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, where traffic remains strangled as the war rages.

"We recommend that before making any decision, the Americans remember the fire of the American supertanker Bridgeton in 1987"

I’m seeing a ton of this floating around.

It’s true, we’re bombing the hell out of Iran, but this war isn’t as one sided as they’d have you believe. In a week, the US has lost at least two (possibly more) AN/TPY-2 radar.

We have less than 15 of them and they take years to make.

So…we’re NOT invading to protect the Iranians who protested the regime, like Trump claimed?

Now we’re going to kill them all instead?

It’s hard to properly convey the lunacy of these proposals to people outside aerospace.

Reflect wants to put gigantic mirrors in orbit and beam down sunlight at nighttime.

SpaceX wants a million more starlink sats.

If either of these actually happens, space will be unusable.

Don’t let mega-constellation-building billionaires steal your night sky Satellites are wonders of modern technology that have improved all of our lives. But having more than a million of them in orbit could destroy our view of the heavens and seriously damage our planet

Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.

Yes. A MILLION.

This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

okay so this seems pretty clear. he knows what it is, he did it on purpose, he chose keeping it over his career with the Marines, if we know this then Susan Collins will also know it, it will 100% come up in the general, let's be done talking about this guy as a real candidate

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

The woman who told FBI agents that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was as young as 13 recalled that she and her mother received death threats afterward, with callers saying β€œwe know where you’re at, you need to keep your mouth shut."

This is an ASTONISHING level of corruption.

DHS handed a $143 MILLION no-bid contract to a company that was 8 days old, with no headquarters, no website, no prior federal work, and an address linked to a residence of a political operative.

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).

the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

Oof. Multiple THAAD radar systems have reportedly been destroyed by Iran. That’s bad.

I’ve also seen some surprise that Russia is providing Iran with targeting data for US forces, but that was expected. We’ve been providing Ukraine with targeting data for 4 years.
