Top Gun: Maverick
We saw the movie in IMAX last night. It was entertaining, but…improbable.
Snake Island
I think that this is the first time that the Ukrainians have taken territory back from the Russians.
The Ukraine War
They’re also apparently running out of ammo. They’re having to get it from Belarus. When HIMARS and other long-range artillery/rockets is up to speed, the balance of military power will shift to the Ukrainians. And Putin knows he’ll face a revolt at home if he starts to conscript.
The Second Amendment
The Supreme Court has fully restored it, by a 6-3 vote.
Initial thoughts from Glenn Reynolds, and Eugene Volokh.
Cold War II
Starship Troopers
The Pentagon is considering purchasing militarized Starships.
The PRC And America
Will we subvert them before they complete their subversion of us?
Western Aid To Ukraine
Haas it deterred China from grabbing Taiwan?
[Update a while later]
The wheels are sort of coming off the Russian army.
Alien Invasions
How do we stop them?
And no, not talking about the southern border; that one’s easy to stop. They just don’t want to.
