Yep. I am certain the military is going to commence with killing civilians. Happily.

If you think so, so be it.
Army Air Corps became USAF in 1947. In 1926 the name was changed to Air Corps. In 1941 it became the USAAF. (Army Air Force)

If a Dem prez or Biden was in office…totally fictitious and fabricated stories of HIM making our sensitive govt. data less secure would have MAGAtz gunning down unsuspecting people from behind cover, attacking daycare centers, synagogues, churches, malls, schools and college campuses. Murdering innocents on the shaky suspicion that Hillary or Soros was probably involved.
But when there is hard proof (and almost a decade of collusion) that their be-diapered demigod is actually robbing the store it’s crickets.
If there is another election, the “I’m the storekeeper” quote from sleazy-voice should be on endless loop.
Narrator:
“Remember, the store is us. And you believe this guy isn’t selling it all out the back door?”

The Air Force has pilots. The Navy and Marines have Aviators.

Was Carney at the Bank of England at the time?
I don’t think so he was there for Brexit though if I’m not mistaken

Trump:
Truce negotiations, like trade negotiations, are totally for losers!
Just announce them and complain when the other side ignores them.
(That is how you look strong and powerful!)

The radio communications my grandfather was working on were secret, so he never mentions them in his hundreds of letters to my grandmother. He was about to be sent into combat in the fall of 1918 because the radio team had completed their main project, creating means of ground to air communications, and more flyers were needed in Europe. He spent most of the fall in D.C. (still a mustering place), got the flu but (obviously) survived it, and was days from deployment to Europe when the armistice was declared. Six days later, the Army gave a demonstration of its breakthrough in radio technology in or just outside D.C. – big deal, lots of press, crowd of onlookers exuberant (war over), and my grandfather flew the plane that received instructions from the ground about what maneuver to perform. About 10 days after that, his first child, my mother, was born.
We forget how quickly radio technology developed. The mere existence of radio waves was first postulated in the 1860’s and then confirmed in the late 1880’s. My grandfather, b. 1895, was a radio nut from his early teens and had a “shack.” The first commercial radio broadcast happened in 1920, and home radios were soon nearly ubiquitous, transforming how people received news, politics, music, and other forms of entertainment. Astounding, really.
My Marine lieutenant uncle in WW II was in charge of a JASCO unit at Peleliu (Joint Assault Signal Co.) – radios again. He never talked about his combat experiences at all, but after his death my father communicated with the man who was an experienced Army sgt. in the unit, assigned to it to support my totally green uncle in charge of it. The man remembered every detail of their landing, their positions and others’ (including Japanese), how they’d first set up some # of yards (40? 100? not more than 100) from where they were supposed to be, and how it took them a full day to fight their way laterally to the correct position. I figure my uncle was lucky to get wounded a few days later – not seriously, but enough to be taken out of combat for a while. Otherwise, he might not have survived or might have been more seriously injured.

Silicon Valley psychopaths who read Atlas Shrugged rather than the Lord of the Rings as children see all government-funded research and services as encroachments on the private sector and their sacred right to collect rents. It’s why Musk axed the SLS and the National Weather Service. And just wait until you see the exciting innovations that awaits when people whose lives are shattered by natural disaster are customers rather than mere victims.

Wouldn’t this be up to Europe to decide?

And Ukraine?
ETA I think this came up last month. The Great Dealmakers working for Dump proposed that Ukraine turn over the pipeline and facilities to the U.S. I guess someone finally told them that part of the system is in the territories currently occupied by Russia.
