  • From what admittedly very little I’ve spent listening to anything that dipshit has had to say, he very much strikes me as the kind of dipshit to stop you while you’re about your business, plop down one of those self-detonating hoverboards, jump on it and say, “If you spin fast enough, you really can bite your own earlobes, and I’m going to prove it.” only to promptly biff it spectacularly and knock his front teeth out.

    Probability would seem to indicate that there are those who frequent the PO more often than others, and that the use of the PO by average people is declining.

    This, in turn, would cause me to guess that there are PO “power users” who, frequenting the PO more than others, are more likely to come in to contact with those who can count on one hand the decades it’s been since they last even thought about a PO.

    Assuming any of this to be true, it appears as though Michael has just just now noticed this.






  • From the article:

    Despite this progress, European officials acknowledge that intelligence is only one part of a much wider dependency. Europe remains heavily reliant on the US for critical military capabilities, including air defense, satellite surveillance, strategic transport, secure communications, and suppression of enemy air defences. Replacing these systems would take years and require massive investment.

    The FT reports that NATO allies are also concerned about the alliance’s command structure, which is deeply tied to US leadership. Key planning, coordination, and nuclear deterrence functions remain dependent on Washington.

    While some officials have floated ideas such as a stronger “European pillar” within NATO or regional defense groupings, there is no consensus on how quickly or realistically Europe could assume these roles.
