A quotation from Theodore Roosevelt

I abhor unjust war. I abhor injustice and bullying by the strong at the expense of the weak, whether among nations or individuals. I abhor violence and bloodshed. I believe that war should never be resorted to when, or so long as, it is honorably possible to avoid it. I respect all men and women who from high motives and with sanity and self-respect do all they can to avert war. I advocate preparation for war in order to avert war; and I should never advocate war unless it were the only alternative to dishonor.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
Autobiography, ch. 7 “The War of America the Unready” (1913)

Washington Post reveals the endgame. #Trump will personally address the #800 #generals #Hegseth summoned, framing #domestic #military action as #patriotic duty. His NBC interview preview—calling it “esprit de corps” and discussing “how well we’re doing militarily”—masks the real agenda now confirmed by #Pentagon sources: unveiling a new #nationaldefense strategy that pivots from #China to #homeland #defense.” In other words, co opting the US military as his private #gestapo /1

Microsoft quietly told key government partners it's halting the use of China‑based engineers on Department of Defense cloud systems. 🙄 All this comes after a ProPublica piece revealed the “digital escort” model, where U S cleared personnel oversee foreign engineers that left serious security and oversight gaps.

TL;DR
⚠️ Foreign engineers were accessing sensitive DoD systems via U S supervisors 🤬

🛠️ Microsoft has now banned China‑based support for DoD workloads
📌 Pentagon launched a two‑week review and Senator Tom Cotton called for deeper scrutiny
