They don’t have to publish letters like Admiral Cooper did

He’s embarrassed himself

I think it’s fine to blame the military

Admiral Cooper’s note to the troops of CENTCOM was embarrassing - and should have been career ending - on publication. He sounded like a halfwit.

He’s in full quarterwit territory now.

This is just Saildrone. This is real.

He doesn’t seem like the “care about sailors” type

For the Red Sea? The full might of the United States Navy.

For the Strait of Hormuz? The USNS Walter Mondale will be available in 2031. It’s a laundry ship.

CSIS isn’t any worse than the other think tanks that have capitulated a little too easily.

I’ve never listened to a podcast.

He was overwhelmingly influenced by Qutb, as was Zawahiri.

Yes, Michael Scheuer did and he’s gone entirely insane on account of where that original work led him

He’s a very good officer but this remains a strange fit for him.

I also question which kind of pledges he needed to make to earn the role.

This is also Bin Ladenism

It went from the noble peasant to Monsanto and everyone used to have harvest festivals and no one had ADHD?

Every rewards program email in 2026:

“Hello gorgeous, let’s talk, why not?

You’ve been a great customer since 2008 & we appreciate your years of loyalty. Cool beans!

We making some tweaky-tweaks to the program; right now you have not been sparkly enough. You are hereby reduced to ‘Mulch’ status.”

shoplifting is bad. cheating on your taxes is bad. smoking on the train is bad. not picking up your dog’s poop is bad.

we live in a society, act like it!

Bold statement from CSIS,

& here I was, thinking they’d just been laundering administration talking points as a full time vocation.

“America sending Little Green Men into a NATO ally to advance a secession crisis would be unwise.”

Profound.

This is why we have think tanks - to tell hard truths.

The Ukraine War of Independence is not a 1:1 match for all of human conflict, but “how to shoot down Iranian and Russian UAS” is a good lesson to learn from that front.

Not only did The Gizmo Cult fail in Ukraine, they’re kicking rocks and making sure Emiratis and Saudis and Americans now die, too.

It’s definitely a 2003-2005 callback

If your wife:

Is walking around in a Rangers jersey

Is asking about Stanley Cup W-L records,

Is disappointed in Gretzky, and

Is listening to WOLF PARADE

My son, she’s into Heated Rivalry and you need to catch up.
