Union forces had suffered some 5,800 casualties but inflicted twice that on the rebels. When a chaplain asked General Thomas whether the dead should be sorted and buried by state in the new military cemetery, the Virginian who stayed loyal replied "Mix 'em up. I'm tired of states' rights.” (21

The deal that is touted as being a major win for Ukraine because it includes a "mutual defense treaty," or "article V," like language, is the only one in which the US already states that if it chooses, it MAY respond to future attacks on Ukraine by simply just offering logistical or economic help.

The Russians leaked a Russian wishlist that could have probably been negotiated as a part of a larger deal to Axios and claimed it was co-authored with US. State Department and WH weren't in on the deal, nor were any GOP or Dem members in FP or Armed Service Committees nor were any US allies.

Some unfinished maps i recently did showing PLARF brigades and their reach. It also includes US MDTF systems that are being deployed right now. Also included are US-Allied bases in the region and what sort of assets they have regularly. Two DF-11 brigades not included.

The problem with trying to force Ukraine to do this deal is that US support has completely dried up. The last supplementals were passed in middle of 2024. The Trump Admin hasn't asked any major new funding for Ukraine..some USAI equipment remains undelivered but that is it. It has little leverage...

How do you in one paragraph go from saying you won't relinquish occupied territories in another country because you need a buffer but condemn another country for having had those same concerns under Assad? Who have had the burden of hosting millions of displaced persons.

International security politics discussions here are somewhat annoying because people want there to be clear cut action-reaction results. The truth is that the world is far more complicated than this and many conflicting and sometimes contradictory things can be true at the same time..

The US is both erratic and burning bridges and yet remains a more reasonable leader for Euros than Germany, Britain or France. Years of Western Europeans completely ignoring the security concerns of Eastern Europe and Southern Europe being located in its own bubble.
You usually don’t invite US nuclear forces and new Typhon deployments back to continent, or do record breaking arms purchases from the US if they don’t think the US if reliable fwiw

Long time no post, today I have this rare image for you guys. This is a photo of Rockwell's Experimental Hover Vehicle for the KKV Hover Interceptor Test (KHIT). Following the start of SDI tech development in 1983, the USAF started working on future tech that would go into space-based interceptors.

This is incorrect: (1) Department of War was just the Army, not the Navy and Marine Corps; and (2) the President does not have the authority, only Congress can make that change in the law. Be better, @npr.org.
The change will return the department to a name that it carried for much of its history, until it became the Department of Defense in the wake of World War II.
