Trump is a creature of the late Cold War. However corrupt and incompetent he is, Trump enjoys the prestige that keeping a facade of America as the leader of a free world embodied through NATO provides him in summits with Putin or Xi
Vance and Miller seem less interested in maintaining that facade

I think the main threat to NATO now comes not from Trump himself, but from the people around him, principally Vance, Miller, and Hegseth, probably in that order.
Vance may succeed Trump, either if the latter keels over, or via the 2028 or later election. If that happens, NATO is in deep trouble.

Americans will demand that Europe does more to rearm and then complain when Europeans ignore an America they no longer need.
It ain't just Trump, folks. NYT says it's time to pony up, U.S. allies: "A more secure world will almost certainly require more military commitment from allies like Canada, Japan, and Europe, which have long relied on American taxpayers to bankroll their protection." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

what was the simple, commercially made fifth generation fighter jet?
Nothing says "bespoke weapon" like a fighter jet that we've built 1200 of and plan to build +3000 total. Also "more time in maintenance than in the air" describes literally every military aircraft.

Today in 1962, the USSR conducted the third of the Project K series of five high-altitude nuclear tests, firing a missile across central Kazakhstan to detonate west of Zhezqazghan (300 kt). Four other tests were Oct. 27, 1961 (two at 1.2 kt each), and Oct. 28 and Nov. 1, 1962 (300 kt each).

This Administration is full of liars and everyone in the media should assume they are lying until proven otherwise
Case in point: Hegseth tried to claim firing over the freeway was “routine”

Apparently I needed 10+ hours of sleep last night, which I suspect means my body might be fighting some sort of illness (dead sleep is what I do when I'm sick) and yet I feel fine, I suppose we'll find out today if I keep feeling or don't, watch this space for exciting updates

Families are already hanging by a thread, but the sad truth is it’s about to get a lot worse when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November.
It’s time to find our local food banks and help out with donations and volunteer hours if you are able.
