Apparently every Chinese academic in any field of “interest” to the PLA is getting their visa rejected for, more or less, presumptively being a spy. My friend’s visa is denied because she studies “neuroscience.” What she actually studies is jaw pain - but ICE is flatly rejecting all appeals.
Just got the word that the Trump administration is throwing a brilliant medical researcher friend of mine out of the country because they’re Chinese. Insane and unreal. Literally doing research in the US to help the US

Maps of the Ming Dynasty (formally ended 1644) have a tendency to horrify people for precisely this reason.

These lands are about as ancestrally Chinese as India is British - which is to say, not at all.

Alex Horton, one of the two Washington Post reporters who broke the story, has been a participant in more violent combat than Pete Hegseth by an order of magnitude.

It's not a coincidence that he got the scoop.
Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?

HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

There are 75,977 people born in Somalia who are now citizens of the United States, including those specific people.

He is talking about US citizens. He is talking about *us*.

The truth is that none of us are garbage, and the job of the US president is to represent all of us.

We, the people.
Trump on Somalis: "We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage."

The thing that is annoying about Bradley and the American officer corps at large is that if they actually read what Clausewitz wrote about the intersection of politics and war, they’d realized they have actual political cover to push back against the administration…
If they read theory, maybe these morons at the pentagon and DOD would have thought about that beforehand

They thought it was an act! They assumed Hegseth was insincere in his open advocacy of war crimes because they too are insincere in their beliefs.

I also think this is why the media lets so many Trump insanities slide: they assume he is insincere because they are too!
This person who openly advocates war crimes, who lobbied for pardons for war criminals, and repeatedly disdains the laws and ethics of war, the one we confirmed as Secretary of Defense, turns out to have done war crimes. Shocking!

(But hey, if they're finally coming around, better late than never.)

A quick glimpse of Bradley’s bio shows that while he might love doing war crimes, he sure as shit doesn’t love getting stabbed in the back by a terminal, alcoholic, national guard infantry major who got relegated to the S-9 on his combat deployment
News --> The commander who oversaw Pete Hegseth's alleged killing of two boat bombing survivors is now likely to come in and face questions from the House Armed Services Committee, ranking Dem Adam Smith tells me.

Will Republicans give us a real investigation into Trump’s bombings, now that we just learned horrific new details about them? Or are they seriously going to fall on their swords for Pete Hegseth?

Marine Guard aboard USS OLYMPIA, Adm Dewey's flagship at Manila Bay ca. 1898.

Marines are armed with the M-1895 Lee Navy rifle in 6mm, which may hold the record for shortest serving rifle adopted service-wide.

Entered service in 1897, by January 1900 the Marines were switching over to the Krag.

The cost of war, don't look away, remind yourself, force yourself to think and remember. This is the only way to prevent the scourge from coming again because we convince ourselves it wont be this bad. It is always this bad.
