Dear Russian Pilots,

We know you are desperate to escape the shithole run by ru-mafia thugs.

$2 million for Mig-31 with a Kinzhal missile

Ukraine's Defence Intelligence Service has announced that the Russian Air Force pilot who will fly a Mig-31 with a Kinzhal missile on board will be awarded $2 million and documents from any NATO country of his choice for his family.

Think about it, you will stop being a murderous war criminal and you get to leave shithole Russia. A win-win.

This sounds about right:

“Top Navy leaders repeatedly dismissed or ignored warnings about the ships’ flaws. One Navy secretary and his allies in Congress fought to build more of the ships even as they broke down at sea and their weapons systems failed. Staunch advocates in the Navy circumvented checks meant to ensure that ships that cost billions can do what they are supposed to do”

Bipartisan Congress members need to intervene against colossal fool Tuberville and end this damaging rule that allows a single person in bad faith to tear down our national security for decades to come. #natsec

Three service secretaries to Tuberville: Stop this dangerous hold on senior officers
By Carlos Del Toro, Frank Kendall, and Christine Wormuth

#Tuberville is a despicable fool and a stain on our country. I won't say stain on AL because no one would notice a new stain there.

"No Enemies No Friends" Allan Behm. 3 stars. Good sense on foreign & defense policy. Most interesting on historical background of region. Clear on how things could be done better, but no theory of change as to how to bring that about.

If anyone’s fault, it is the federal government’s.

The Military Commissions were abject failures and taught a masterclass in the complete denial of justice through decades of delay.

Fear can create monsters of us all.

This person is a shill. We must, and congrss must take a collective stance against this kind of language from sitting members of #Congress?

This is unacceptable - I don’t care which side of the isle you’re on. We simply cannot allow this low level of public discourse.
#CongressEthics must investigate this.

#Water pumped from deep underground helps #alfalfa grow at the Saudi-owned Fondomonte farm in the Butler Valley, in western Arizona

Saudi Arabia bans industrial scale farming of alfalfa, to protect its limited water supplies.

So they grow it in a #US desert and ship it back home, using AZ’s scarce water.

Perspective: The prior republican admin even blocked efforts to track the amount of water being used. #Arizona get saudi the fuck out.
