They sure tried though. Global aviation outside China, Russia and North Korea use knots instead of SI units.

Didn't realize X/Twitter was down. Elon Musk seems to suspect that an APT may have been responsible.
What are the odds the attack will be attributed to Ukraine, Poland or Britain?!
Musk did just openly insult Polish FM / senior MI6 official Radek Sikorski.

Israeli media Ynet: Türkiye prevents Israel from participating in NATO exercise: 'Using veto as political tool'
Turkey has blocked Israel from participating in NATO's annual "resilience and emergency preparedness" exercise, according to information received by the Israeli Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem on Sunday.
The decision came after a meeting between Israeli diplomats, NATO's coordination team for the exercise and Bulgaria's alliance delegation about two weeks ago, during which there was reportedly strong enthusiasm for Israel's participation.
Türkiye’s move could derail Israel’s participation in the exercise. NATO decisions require consensus, and without an active partnership agreement, there is no bureaucratic mechanism to force Türkiye to allow Israel to participate in the alliance’s official activities. NATO currently has 32 member states from North America and Europe.
An Israeli official accused Türkiye of using its veto power as a political tool. "Türkiye's position undermines regional cooperation and NATO's ability to meet global challenges," the official said. "Instead of promoting unity and collective security, Turkey is using its veto power to undermine strategic partnerships. Blocking Israel's cooperation with NATO does not contribute to stability; on the contrary, it undermines the alliance's core values."
Turkish officials argued that Israel's actions in Gaza violated NATO's fundamental principles, international law and universal human rights.

Hegseth isn't unique in this at all. After 9/11 Erik Prince had Blackwater, the mercenary company, publish ads specifically targeting people who believed it was their literal Chrisian Duty to genocide the Iraqis for the sin of existing: () - The Economist, 2009
This isn't that surprising if you dig a little deeper into America's overarching national myth of "land of the free". The most obvious is Thanksgiving, where the story is the Puritans, a sect of British Protestants, fled to the New World on the May Mayflower ship to escape persecution by the Church of England, and helped by the native Wampanoag tribe/nation to survive long term and found Plymouth colony.
All of this was real and did happen and Plymouth still exists. What they don't tell you is the Puritans were persecuted in England for murdering non-believers in open public. In the New World they harassed, robbed, and murdered Wampanoag the moment Plymouth stabilized, which radicalized the tribe against all colonists. Furthermore they wages harassment campaigns against neighboring colonies, all because they believed it was their Christian Duty to genocide anyone who wasn't a Puritan. And no, outsiders could not convert because all outsiders where agents of Satan.
Interesting. I will give 1 year before they start another civil war. You are very naive to think that Syria will be united. As long as external force keep interfering there will be no peace in Syria.
