This is a ludicrous notion. Just as I don’t want to see US personnel turned into walking targets in Gaza to placate the politicians need to “do something”, I don’t want to see allied troops consigned to a similar fate either. All they’ll be is attractive targets for terrorists.

In the generation that won WWII, this probably resulted in a verbal reprimand at most. Today he'd be court-martialed.

European social democracies amassed huge welfare systems last 30 years because they relied on someone else for security (USA), someone else for manufacturing (China), and someone else for cheap commodities (Russia). What do you think will happen to this model without all of it?
This type of aggression against US assets used to be rare. Because America's enemies were terrified of what they knew the US response would be. Under increasingly weak and feckless US leadership, the consequences have all but disappeared, and so America is attacked regularly.

Good. Disentangling PRC influence and access from TikTok after ByteDance divested would have been a genuine chore and an ongoing security issue. Better to excise this cancer from American life entirely.

China has the world’s largest Navy—& soon to be the world’s largest Air Force, U.S. Navy Adm Aquilino told Congress. “The magnitude, scope, & scale of this security challenge cannot be understated.” Today, the U.S. Air Force is the smallest it’s ever been, writes @defense_news:
Fair warning; this one is brutal. The EOD folks can tear the technical side of this apart in detail, but what immediately struck me was the total lack of effort by the unwounded survivor to treat the casualties.

GDP percentages remain one of the worst metrics to use for this debate. The question that matters is force generation. “If your country has to go to war tomorrow, what can it do so with?”

Despite a massive lobbying & influence effort by the PRC, Congress passed & Pres. Biden signed legislation requiring ByteDance to divest from TikTok by January 2025 or be banned in the US. This is an excellent development. A post election deadline indicates the politicians…

If the nations of Europe believe they’re in a pre-war period, as many of their officials have indicated they do; radical, society altering rearmament should be the order of the day. 5-10%+ of gdp for defense, enormous reindustrialization projects, promotion of childbirth, etc.

There is significant debate on who started WWII and when. Most agree it was Germany in 1939. Some make a good case that it was Japan in 1937. There are even those who cite Italy in 1935. This is just historical illiteracy masquerading as opinion:
Concur. This is at minimum criminal behavior & could in fact fall under various terrorism statutes depending on individual actions. Pres. Eisenhower deployed Federal troops to force school desegregation, not a stretch to do it again against Palestinian terrorist sympathizers.

Two points on this: 1. Palestinian terrorists are well known for both bombs and boobytraps. When faced with such an opponent, if something is out of place - don’t touch it! 2. This is why part of an NCOs job will always be yelling “Don’t touch nothing!” at their juniors.

Exactly this. But the Biden administrations continuous fluctuations over the intensity of competition with China also reflects the strain of pursuing primacy. America simply can't predominate in three unruly regions at the same time.

💯 Journalism would be much better off if the industry stopped hiring people who studied journalism and instead hired people with some technical knowledge of the field they're going to cover.
Many of these regretted majors - journalism, comms, education, marketing - are about teaching or communicating information from another field. It seems more employers prefer to find majors in the subject matter themselves and then just train them to teach, explain, or market it.
The Biden admin pressured our Arab allies to stop fighting the Houthis. They froze offensive weapons sales to lock in that pressure. They said it's how adults do foreign policy. Now the Houthis have disintegrated freedom of navigation and are plucking US drones out of the sky.
