That in itself summarizes the level of garbage being fed to POTUS by his cornucopia of acronyms passing for intel. Trump at Davos: "I'm going to ask Saudi Arabia and OPEC to bring down the cost of oil (...) If the price came down, the Russia-Ukraine war would end immediately. Right now, the price is high enough that that war will continue (...) With oil prices going down, I'll demand that interest rates drop immediately. And, likewise, they should be dropping all over the world. Interest rates should follow us." Quite predictably, OPEC+ - basically run by Saudi Arabia and Russia - said Nyet.

DARPA and Lockheed Martin's [LMT] Sikorsky announced Tuesday they have completed the first ever completely unmanned, autonomous flight with a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter. The UH-60A flew with no safety pilots onboard during a pair of recent demonstrations as part of DARPA's Aircrew Labor In-Cockpit Automation System (ALIAS) program, which the Army has expressed interest in potentially leveraging the technology for its enduring fleet.

The flight simulated 'contested logistics operations' where a ground crew hooked up a sling load to the helicopter remotely controlled through the MATRIX system.

💥 FAA fights lawsuit alleging it turned away 1,000 applicants based on race

DEI policies are said to have contributed to staffing woes The Federal Aviation Administration is fighting a class-action lawsuit alleging it denied 1,000 would-be air traffic controllers jobs because of diversity hiring targets — as it was revealed that staffing levels were "not normal" at the time of this week's deadly midair collision. Complaints about the FAA's hiring policies resurfaced after the American Airlines passenger plane and a Black Hawk helicopter crashed in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, killing 67 people in the country's deadliest aviation disaster in almost a quarter-century. Details of the litigation re-emerged, too, as Andrew Brigida, the lead plaintiff in the suit filed in 2015, suggested the federal aviation agency's obsession with diversity hiring and inclusion had only ensured that an accident was likely to happen.

🇮🇱 'Conspiracy Theory' is now fact: Greater Israel has arrived

Ever since Tel Aviv's 1948 creation, much has been said and written about 'Greater Israel' - the notion Zionism's ultimate end goal is the forcible annexation and ethnic cleansing of vast swaths of Arab lands for Jewish settlement, based on Biblical claims that this territory was promised to Jews by God. The media typically dismisses this concept as an antisemitic conspiracy theory or, at most, the fringe fantasy of a minuscule handful of Israelis. In reality, as The Guardian admitted in 2009, the idea of a Greater Israel has long appealed to "religious and secular right-wing nationalists" alike in Tel Aviv. They have the shared objective of "[seeking] to fulfill divine commandments about the 'beginning of redemption,' as well as create 'facts on the ground' to enhance Israel's security." The outlet acknowledged this motivation was a key contemporary driving force in mainstream Israeli politics, which "effectively turned the Palestinians into aliens on their own soil." The Nation...

🎖️ Misinterpretations of US trends (Part 1 of 2)

We see that Donald Trump's arrival in the White House is upsetting the rules of the international game. However, we often misinterpret his actions: we ignore the habits and customs of his country, and we project our own political debates onto him. We are all the more at a loss because, over the past few years, we have more or less adhered to the ideology fashionable in Washington. We've considered it to be the American doxa, even though it was only a moment in its history, and we've forgotten its many schools of thought. The arrival of Donald Trump in the White House is reshuffling all the ideological, geopolitical, economic and even military cards. Indeed, for the first time in almost two centuries, a Jacksonian is once again in power in the United States. We had forgotten this way of thinking (except in Westerns) and are no longer able to anticipate it. Yet Trump has already held power for four years, but back then he was largely prevented from implementing his policies by his...

Israel sends missiles to Ukraine

Russia had warned against the transfer of Patriot interceptors. About 90 interceptor missiles for Patriot air defense systems have been sent from Israel to Poland, from where they will be forwarded to Ukraine, Axios has reported. After Israel Defense Forces (IDF) retired their US-supplied Patriots in April 2024, Kiev asked for the missiles. Moscow warned West Jerusalem of potential consequences at the time, and the idea seemed to have gone nowhere. "In recent days several US Air Force C-17 transport planes ferried the missiles from an airbase in southern Israel to the Polish city of Rzeszow, NATO's logistics hub for supplying Ukraine." West Jerusalem informed Moscow of the move and said it was "only returning the Patriot system to the US" rather than supplying weapons to Ukraine. The official claimed this was the same thing as the US transfer of artillery shells from "emergency storage" in Israel to Ukraine two years ago. Both the Pentagon and the US European Command declined to...

I began practicing psychotherapy during the Reagan administration. Thirty years went by before distress about politics became a clinical issue for any of my clients.

I listened twice to make sure I hadn't missed something. I hadn't. There were no other issues. This woman wanted therapy for political distress. That was a new one for me and every therapist I knew. But now I see no sign of this clinical challenge abating. Political polarization in the U.S. is at the highest level ever measured. Growing majorities of both Republicans and Democrats say they consider members of the other party to be unintelligent, dishonest and immoral. What I'm calling political distress is a bipartisan mental health problem. It is based on a belief that, because the country is in the hands of bad leaders,...

🌨️ The Record Shows Tulsi Gabbard Was Not an Apologist for Russia-Backed Syria

Tulsi Gabbard's nomination to serve as President Trump's director of national intelligence hinges on questions about the judgment and patriotism of the former congresswoman and Army veteran, doubts that are expected to take center stage at her Senate confirmation hearing Thursday. Echoing a charge first lodged by Hillary Clinton, Sens. Tammy Duckworth and Elizabeth Warren have spread innuendo that Gabbard is a "compromised" "Russian asset" who has been "in Putin's pocket." Former CIA Director John Brennan has speculated that Gabbard may deliberately "withhold" or even "skew" vital intelligence in briefing President Trump. Michael McCaul, the Republican chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, has called Trump's selection of Gabbard to oversee the nation's 18 spy agencies "a bit baffling" and predicted a defeat of her nomination in the Senate.

🌩️ A warning from the tress

How bad can a solar storm be? Just ask a tree. Unlike human records, which go back hundreds of years, trees can remember solar storms for millennia. Nagoya University doctoral student Fusa Miyake made the discovery in 2012 while studying rings in the stump of a 1900-year-old Japanese cedar. One ring, in particular, drew her attention. Grown in the year 774-75 AD, it contained a 12% jump in radioactive carbon-14 (14C), about 20 times greater than ordinary fluctuations from cosmic radiation. Other teams confirmed the spike in wood from Germany, Russia, the United States, Finland, and New Zealand. Whatever happened, trees all over the world experienced it. Most researchers think it was a solar storm — an extraordinary one. Often, we point to the Carrington Event of 1859 as the worst-case scenario for solar storms. The 774-75 AD storm was at least 10 times stronger; if it happened today, it would floor modern technology. Since Miyake's initial discovery, she and others have confirmed...
