The U.S. Built a Blueprint to Avoid Civilian War Casualties. Trump Officials Scrapped It. The Pentagon dismantled its civilian protection mission as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority and the Trump administration reorganized national security around two principl...

Very important reporting

Hegseth essentially shut down programs to mitigate civilian casualties, despite support for the program even by current appointees & military leaders.

The War on Terror Comes Home, Part 1: Mass Surveillance from Facebook to Facial Recognition The tools and techniques used to hunt insurgents and terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan are being turned against American citizens.

We are witnessing the rapid expansion of regime surveillance against Americans.

In a new series, I break down what’s being done and why. This is nothing less than the use of war on terror tools and strategies against American dissent.

Munich & Tehran: A Tale of Two Cities Viewing the capital of Iran from the capital of Bavaria (which was, 100 years ago, also the "Capital of the Movement")

These ignoramuses have spent the last ten years undermining expertise ...They have put all their economic eggs in the basket of AI—a technology seemingly designed to make us stupider.

What happens when a society seeks to eradicate the study of the humanities? That society loses its humanity.

The images of Tehran are very fire-and-brimstone, very End Times.

The Ayatollahs have spent the last 47 years denouncing the United States as the Great Satan. And what did we do? We turned their capital city into Hell.

Wars of incidental liberation. Or not. (Part 3) American power has always been the defense of human freedom — not this limp dick bloodlust and adulation of the behavior of our enemies

“Accomplishments are defined by strategic victory —which cannot be achieved when there is no
strategy.... The living case study of this is the inability of Russian forces to achieve any strategic objectives against a morally-superior peer Ukrainian force.”

If our new DHS Sec continues the ICE agents murders of civilians committed during his predecessor reign we should call him Markwayne Gacy.

American voters are too simple to understand that being excellent at campaigning and excellent at presidenting are two different things. That always hurt her. She never condescended to people like the more successful campaigners do.

Hillary Clinton would have been one of the greatest US presidents. That’s a hill I will die on. And our country hasn’t properly mourned this being stolen from us.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.
