would all those tanker planes have any utility in evacuation of fighters/bombers? or are those tankers more unequivocally offensive assets
ah that makes sense, thank you comrade
is he important in present day iran? was the concern that he was targeted or that he got got as collateral damage? I don't understand why he would be specifically targeted beyond because he is a prominent iranian
imo you're one of the best regular posters on these threads. good, publicly available military analysis is almost exclusively the domain of chuds (or at least people who are not actively anti-imperialist) and so your presence in these threads is both unique and very valuable.
pepe escobar is a prime example of this kind of vibes based alt media personality with no material (or materiel) analysis
for the person who reported this as antisemitism
huh a psychotic dealt cult doing great man theory, that's weird
it's possible this drop was precipitated by potential losses of F35(s) but this is not meaningful analysis in a vacuum. if you want to do this kind of analysis, it's important to compare the company in question to comparables (i.e. a US defence ETF like ITA) as well as the broader index (like SPY). during the same period, ITA is down ~2% and SPY is more or less flat. LMT has performed worse than comparables but -1.3% worse than the ITA ETF is not much. this could just as easily be the market thinking that the war will de-escalate and that weapons contracts will decrease, or it could be thinking that the war will escalate, hormuz will close and the world economy will go in the shitter, or maybe LMT just paid a dividend or some executive paid too much for a stupid acquisition. I'm not saying it's any individual thing, just that there are tons of drivers for stocks and picking out 'oh -2% because of F35s' is at best wishful thinking or tea leaf reading
I planted about 30 plugs of strawberries that I got from a friend who was renovating their strawberry patch about 5 years ago and now there are literally thousands of plants in the yard. They are a great plant, really vigorous groundcover, they spread and propagate easily, and obviously the berries are great. They are really good for low quality beds like woodchips/hugelkultur because the moms can feed the daughters while they get established. Last year we picked something like 50-75 kg of fruit and the only upkeep I've done aside from picking has been pulling out plants to give away to others.
Braiding sweetgrass has a great section on the generosity of strawberries, 100% true. I also like how their habit encourages you to witness the garden. The flowers and green berries pop out above the leaves to show you where they are, but as they ripen and get heavy they sink down and hide. You won't find the best berries unless you get down low and turn over the plants, then who knows what you'll find.
They're saying the inundation this year is the best they've ever seen, from the perspective of water. They've got cubits you wouldn't even believe. Akhenaten made some very bad choices, choices that were very bad for the egyptian people, and not only the people but the hippos! Absolutely tremendous appetites on them, I don't think we'll have any sedge left after today folks, so fill up while you can. But we're bringing the cubits back, folks. It's going to be magnificent, not just for the sedges but also the bee! Some people forget about the bee, but not me. They make a delicious pastry with the honey at Memphis. Maybe if the Hittites come to the table they can try it and we can make a deal.
MAKE EGYPT GREAT AGAIN and thank you for your attention on this matter!
this shit isn't actually rocket science to predict, it follows obvious patterns. I remember hunter S thompson correctly calling the long arc of the next 20 years of the GWOT literally the day after 9/11. he could do that because he paid attention while the invasion of vietnam unfolded.
