-regime will put up a fight in Hama because it prefers an urban area over an open base in the countryside. Opposition is not an army that can clear and move from a street to another while battling armored vehicles and tanks

RT @joshrogin: The Biden administration was negotiating to give Assad sanctions relief as recently as this month. Their theory reportedly was that Assad could be a partner in containing Hezbollah. Foreign policy malpractice. They didn’t understand that Assad is Iran’s employee.

DHL plane crash was not sabotage, Lithuanian defense minister advises – POLITICO
A preliminary investigation suggests a technical malfunction downed the aircraft, but suspicions of malfeasance run high.

The best time to evaluate whether veterans' benefits are too generous is before we start two strategically questionable decades-long wars of occupation. We are still paying veterans' benefits from the Civil War and Spanish-American War, so these long-term costs should have been factored into our assessments of the strategic rationale for these wars.

I think people take the all-volunteer force for granted and underestimate how angry and disillusioned many GWOT-era veterans are and the strategic implications. A majority of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans felt the wars were nor worth fighting *before* the Afghanistan withdrawal, and we now have a generation of veterans who fought in a war that we lost because we pursued overly ambitious objectives with an inherently flawed strategy. We stayed too long in that war because senior officials misrepresented its results, and we sabotaged that war by invading Iraq, which was justified by falsehoods. I think it would be wiser to reevaluate American foreign policy than cutting veterans' benefits.

Joe Rogan sits in a studio and has the nerve to deny Zelensky a simple podcast.

@TaiwanFreedom89: Zelensky stayed in Ukraine 🇺🇦 when all of Kyiv was surrounded and the Russians were in the city of Kyiv
While Assad appears to have left Syria as fast as he could once his forces started to lose Aleppo

@RpsAgainstTrump: What comes to mind is a value every American should have, but that’s been hijacked by Right-wing extremists to promote isolationism and abandoning US partners around the World
It should be America and its Allies first because without them, US wouldn’t be as strong as it is today

@ukraine_map @P_Kallioniemi @IAPonomarenko @lexfridman: On his podcasts, he takes the “neutral” position while letting pro-Russians say whatever they want with zero pushback.
He’s not neutral but hasn’t come out as pro-Russian because it will jeopardize his “neutrality” as if it wasn't already apparent by his actions who he supports.
