If Pete Hegseth was drunk when he ordered the second strike on the Venezuelan sailors, then he cannot be held accountable for their deaths.

American public opinion is largely generated by foreigners who make money by lying to Americans over unregulated social media. Out of respect to those entrepreneurial foreigners, we will continue to treat their commodified fictions as one side of a reasoned American debate.

What keeps me so cynical is that you can't really vote to unfuck the media and its Orbanization. You can't vote the oligarchs out. Trump will be gone eventually but the money behind him won't be. The controlled media will be entrenched and it could take generations to fix.

This photos, showing a torpedo launched from an XLUUV (it’s not fully submerged, that’s normal for this stage of trials), puts the Indonesians ahead of all Western countries in this regard! Why are European navies sleeping?!?!
