Scientists have given the all-clear to Earth from a newly discovered asteroid.
After two months of observations, scientists have almost fully ruled out any threat from the asteroid 2024 YR4, NASA and the European Space Agency said.

Scientists (mostly) rule out this newly discovered asteroid hitting Earth in the next decade
There’s still a 1.7 percent chance that asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit the moon on Dec. 22, 2032, according to NASA.

Vance is completely wrong here. US military sales to Ukraine served as a catalyst to rebuild our production capacity for our own potential military needs. I bet you'll never hear him say the same thing about US missiles fired to defend Israel, though that did deplete short-term stocks.

Most money for US aid to Ukraine went to US manufacturers. It is literally American industry, and part of the funding was for expanding US industrial capacity.
It's next level lying. Lies wrapped in lies, stacked in a pile of BS. Reality inverting lies. Piss-on-my-leg-and-tell-me-it's-raining lying.

Vance has, for years, used this technique where he mischaracterizes the position of his opponents by taking it to an extreme that they never advocated, then arguing w/that fictitious position. Supporters don’t want “permanent” shipments, nor did we advocate de-industrialization.

Think about Zelenskyy’s first day in office being a phone call where Trump tries to hold up military aid to extort him into investigating the Bidens/Clintons, thinking you got rid of him in 2021, getting invaded in 2022, fighting a war for three years, and now that fucker is back in the WH
