Just so people fully grasp the significance of this event...

We've had a space program since we captured Nazi V-2 rockets. It really sucks. I don't really need to go into the inefficiencies, incompetence and failures of the massive NASA government bureaucracy.

We know all that.

The point is, 75 years of space program, $hundreds of billions$ spent. Initially, it was inspiring, patriotic. Explorers in a new frontier. And we beat the Russians, as the space race was part of the Cold War. We invented tons of sweet tech that...

We're seeing a whole lot of 'fairweather MAGAs' lately. They turn on Trump the moment he does anything they don't like.

Right now it's mainly the woke right accusing Trump of being in Israel's pocket because he's preventing Iran from getting nukes. ⬇️ All the trust in Trump, all the "it's 4D chess!", the "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!", everything he's accomplished in the last six months, all out the window. Now he's just a senile manupulated puppet of the Jews.

Disagreeing is of course fine. Not what I'm talking about. ⬇️

Trump's military policy isn't what many thought it would be. A lot of people on both the right and left believed Trump would end U.S. aid to Ukraine, and possibly Israel, too. It's clear now that neither of those things are going to happen. ⬇️ 2/

I would expect new conditions to be placed on that aid involving what we get in return.

Another common assumption was that Trump would pull us out of NATO. Trump just called for NATO member nations to increase their spending to 5% of GDP.

The CCP's maritime militia presents unique chalenges. Perhaps a USV could be one solution. What would such a system look like?

This would require a networked swarm approach. The USV platform would have to be relatively cheap & expendable. 2/

We'd need a lot of them for adequate coverage. Chinese forces will happily destroy them wherever possible. It'd need to be as seawothy as the maratime militia fishing boats they're meant to counter.

When talking heads in the legacy & financial media say 'the economy is booming!', they're saying that their position in The Big Grift is going great. Their payoffs are rolling in, their insider traded stock portfolios are making them rich & the value of their properties ⏬️ 2/

& investments are rising rapidly. The fact that skyrocketing inflation & prices are crushing lower income Americans; that illegals streaming over our open borders are taking jobs from our working class, holding down wages & filling up all available affordable housing; ⏬️

The '#Palestinians' are the colonizers.

The land was arid & very sparsely populated until Jews made the desert bloom. The Ottomans controlled the region for centuries leaving Turkic immigrants there. 2/

During the 19th century Circassians fled the genocide in Russia, many settling in that area. Also religious refugees from non-dominant Muslim sects or animistic religions. And a few Armenians fleeing genocide came in the early 20th century.
