It's true: the whole admin are wearing shoes that don't fit rather than contradict Trump

China doesn't really do security guarantees (except NK, and that's old) and doesn't have the logistic ability to project force to the Gulf

Everyone is afraid of Trump and doing things his way
Which seems to be a consequence of letting him get away with immense crimes
It puts him in a situation where he can attack other Americans without risk to himself

the NYT doesn't do substantive response to external critics. It placates critics on its right, and attacks critics to its left

You gotta consider that Israeli media probably wants to bait him into making a public appearance so he can be tracked & killed

That's just Giulo Douhet's doctrine. The earliest and wrongest theory of airpower, let's not pretend it's new

UAE destroys 8 missiles, intercepts 26 drones on March 10; death toll rises to 6 Minor to moderate injuries were recorded among 122 individuals so far

OK, this says 9 of 35 got through. Which is about 25.7%
Surprising, 35 is more than the previous day
Though less than any day before that
maybe the UAE relaxed a bit

Judging by the Venezuela outcome, a lot of American media will pretend that it worked

right, it just increases the element of chance

OK, but total number matters here. Is it 4 drones & one got through?

Trump and Hegseth are primally afraid of anything that makes them look weak or like losers. Psychological problem levels of afraid.
Would serious damage to a ship do that?

doing the reverse even:
civilian vessels are warned to stay at least "30 nautical miles from U.S. military vessels to reduce the risk of being mistaken as a threat"

This is part of what a "no world order" world looks like: no freedom of the seas, every country has to guard its own ships

Oh, short term stock market swings are irrational? When were they rational? When did anyone ever know why the stock market moved one way or another.
Financial reporters tell stories about why it moves, but they're just stories.

In this case the war started at 27% but apparently Trump got most of his fans to support it

The people who said drones would be equalizing as a weapons technology seem proven right so far
Major powers can't count on bombing without being bombed back
But historical periods of equalizing weapons tech have usually been extra violent & chaotic
