  1. Yet again I implore you to call me a paranoid cynic, particularly insistantly this time, because if it turns out that President Zelensky has been telling porkies and it IS official policy to store munitions in residential areas, I shall be very disappointed.

    Mainly because it would give the Ruskies some level of legitimacy in their claims to be attacking military targets whenever they kill a load of civilians. Let's hope it WAS a rogue supplier, as stated.

  2. "The Federal Aviation Administration has prohibited US aircraft from operating at all altitudes within Venezuelan airspace, citing “safety-of-flight risks associated with ongoing military activity” on Saturday."

  3. NBC producer with family in Caracas reports they've all confirmed the bombings.

    They also report they're able to match up different videos, showing the same events. They seem to be anticipating fakes and are taking at least some countermeasures, so that's good.

  4. Also noted earlier: The Pentagon is referring all questions to the White House; the White House is refusing to comment.

    It's, what, 3:30am in DC? I don't think we're hearing much tonight.

    Al Jazeera is reporting Reuters also received confirmation that these are US strikes.

  5. Bombing started around 2am, last detonations that NBC's associate heard in the capital was around 3:45am-ish, but she was still hearing airplanes until around 4am.

  6. I remind EVERYONE:

    The footage we're seeing is EXACTLY the kind of footage most likely to pass visual muster EVEN IF AI-generated. Dark, fuzzy video with jerky motion is the easiest to fake. REMEMBER THAT.

  7. US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has described a Reuters report claiming that Russian ruler Vladimir Putin intends to conquer all of Ukraine and reclaim parts of Europe that once belonged to the former Soviet Union as “lies and propaganda.”

    I have a question for Hegseth. Does he understand that the term, "fog of war", is a metaphor for the uncertainty about events that is inevitable during hostile clashes. IT IS NOT A VISIBILITY ISSUE!!!

    I really need our Secretary of Defense to stop sounding totally unqualified for the job.

    We can't fix that he IS totally unqualified, but at a minimum, he has to stop sounding unqualified.

    JFGC, North Korea is out there, watching, aware.

  9. se non avete mai letto come fu risolta la crisi dei missili di Cuba,dovete assolutamente leggere il racconto dell'allora segretario alla Difesa degli USA,Robert McNamara, raccolto nel grande film documentario #FogOfWar di #ErrolMorris

  10. Aircraft were on marshal frequency, about to change to arrival control to land.

    Mishap occurred around the start of the new crypto day. Did aircraft have new day crypto loaded? They should have. IFF and Link-16 should have shifted to the new day automatically. If they had keying loaded.

    Gettysburg lost air warfare commander role.

    Ward Carroll and Hozer Miller review the latest USNI news reporting on the Roosevelt Battle Group blue on blue.

    The two FA-18s were tankers returning to the boat. Gettysburg was about 5 miles aft of the carrier with returning aircraft 5 and 10 miles out at 1500 feet and 250 knots.

    The FA-18’s had secured most of their combat systems. Unknown if they were squawking IFF and Link 16 (blue force tracking and more).

    Gettysburg shot at both Rhinos.

    It is Netanyahu, not the Israel citizens.

    The citizens do not support him. There have been protests for over a year now, well before #Oct7

  14. I think it’s easy to forget a couple of things:

    - we are not representative of the body politic, the majority of which is made up of low-information voters who are tuned out until after July 4th, or Labor Day of an election year, at best

    - inflation has eaten up many gains, life is expensive, and wages are stagnant, making the quality life worse

    #American #CognitiveDissonance #FogOfWar

  15. The most die-hard #American partisans have to acknowledge they are not better off than they were 4 years ago, and that is causing all sorts of #CognitiveDissonance.

    Partly due to the #FogOfWar to remember an accurate status of *what was happening* 4 years ago.
