So as cool as I find nuclear reactors, and nuclear powered ships, I just don’t see a world where we have something on the order of like ~50,000 floating nuclear reactors. Also, this gets to a pet project as we move to a carbon neutral world we’re probably going to increase the number of oil tankers.

there is no way to guarantee a draft will never happen, largely because if a war that requires it emerges people will get drafted. the entire debate over this has been facile for a very long time bc people are highly resistant to thinking about a draft as what it is: a way extract manpower

I think the other way you cold have taken this is a dune reference and not a war hammer reference.

So to put these numbers in comparison, there is probably 1 in 100,000 people is a true name illegal spy and there is somewhere between 1 in every 100,000 to 500,000 is a member of a violent domestic extremist organization.

I want to say something controversial I think this is a reasonable threat assessment if you take a cell being a group of organized people greater than three and then you remember there are 300+ million American, which means to get that you would only need 1 person in 100 million people

I want to clarify something, having a draft is largely up to the enemy.

Should have dropped lithophones with the MOP’s we could hear what was going on inside, which would be simultaneously super cool and provide some interesting information to do the BDA with.

I feel we all need to remember the head of the NCTC is currently Joe Kent… a man who has links to terrorist organizations in one of the most active regions of domestic terrorists

14 years ago, while working at CENTCOM, I was asked to do a comparative analysis of the British failure at the Dardanelles to a potential Iranian closure of the Strait of Hormuz. While my discussion of Iran’s capabilities is now outdated, the lessons I identified are still quite relevant (🧵) 1/n

"This wouldn't have happened if Iran had nukes" also ignores the fact that this wouldn't have happened if Iran didn't have a nuclear program.

Listen, War with Iran is necessary. Imagine if that Venezuelan business popped back up & we had to give SOUTHCOM attention/resources. God forbid they remembered Mexico exists. Now we can all enjoy the comfort of knowing we don't have to care about the Caribbean or South America for another 10 years.

I think we might’ve found the 16% of people that will always say yes to anything as I’m generally neutral to pro fucking with Iranian nuclear program and pro anything that weakens the current regime in Washington and I would still say no.

i guess this is a pivot to Asia in one sense. Because a regional military command dragging the country into war is Imperial Japan-core

If you're making comparisons to "how we did things in 2003"... you haven't been paying attention to America since oh, maybe 2003... but at best since 2015.
