Yep losing a fighter overboard like this is an experience that PLAN does not have.But I thought US has like 1 gazillion years of experience of carrier ops whereas PLAN is just a newbie operating a sailboat for just a year

No wonder China seems to be comfortable dealing him. Since they are experts on the face concept, they know also how to use it to make him not feel hurt so they can somehow get away with a lot of stuff. They can win big but as long they can somehow convince Trump and his side they won and leave it as that, then its all good. Trump can get the last word all he wants, we will take the actual result.How Trump could potentially stumble into a war is through underestimating China like how the US and MacArthur underestimated and discounted China intervening in the Korean War. After the 1st trade war, he should have known China would retaliate but the fact he apparently was shocked by retaliation in this new 2nd trade war shows he has not learned because he is too cognitively rigid and/or he is being influenced again by his racism or that of his people as they don't seem to take non-whites seriously.
Trump has not banned TikTok because he thinks he can squeeze China for some sort of deal to enrich himself or his rich supporters, and which he can then spin as some sort of fabulous deal making win. He hasn't banned TikTok yet because he also at some level knows that it would alienate all those that use TikTok, and that would be a large number and be across many segments of the population, and because banning would mean there would be no grift deal.
What I'm surprised is how countries like countries like India kiss the ground he walks on and yet he somehow acts very cold towards them.
I think Doggy is emphasizing the incompetence of the Americans. After bombing the Houthis for so long, they still can't solve their target acquisition issues.
This detention center had already been bombed by the Saudis in 2022, and now the Americans are bombing it again.
An even more typical example is yesterday's American airstrike on a Houthi quarry. The entire target confirmation process was based solely on some random person tweeting a post labeling the quarry as an underground Houthi base. It's utterly absurd. It's as ridiculous as if I were to claim on SDF that beneath 600 Wanping South Road in Shanghai lies the CCP's secret mind-control base, and the next day the U.S. Pacific Command sends a B-2 to bomb it.
I'm fairly certain Centcom doesn't take their targeting data from Twitter, but this still is a very severe mistake.
Update:
The final GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the first quarter of 2025 is -2.7 percent on April 29, down from -2.4 percent on April 24. The final alternative model forecast, which adjusts for imports and exports of gold as described , is -1.5 percent. After this morning’s Advance Economic Indicators release from the US Census Bureau, the standard and alternative model nowcasts of the contribution of net exports to first-quarter real GDP growth declined from -4.90 percentage points and -2.85 percentage points, respectively, to -5.26 percentage points and -4.05 percentage points.

allahu akbar is not just solely a war chant. people use phrases like "allahu akbar" & "astaghfur allah" all the time over the tiniest things whenever they are emotional. the phrase means god is great however muslims use these phrases as frequently as & also the same way that English speakers use "oh my god" in many sentences.So that terrorist attack that happened in Kashmir? Apparently there is a video of some guy ziplining in the area while the people in the background are getting shot. I dunno how he is completely unaware of it unless maybe he was in on it himself?
Trump complained to Bezos before Amazon said it scrapped idea to display tariff cost
.....
- The White House slammed Amazon for reportedly planning to display the cost of President Donald Trump’s tariffs next to the total price of products on its site.
- “This is a hostile and political act by Amazon,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a press briefing with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
- Amazon later clarified that the plan to show tariff surcharges was “never approved” and is “not going to happen.”
- Trump personally called Bezos on Tuesday morning to express his displeasure about the initial report that spurred the heated response from the White House.
