My brother was a marine and I've been fortunate enough to know several others. On balance, great folks. And I have no earthly idea if the Osprey is good, bad, dangerous or amazing.

But the fact that some marines are nervous about flying on this weird looking plane-helicopter thing... has no bearing on whether or not it's safe.

The marines who told me that said the osprey has a terrible record.
 
I live under the landing flight path at a small regional airport, one that the Mass National Guard uses a lot. It's pretty cool when the Ospreys come in. Those things are loud.
 
Putin's knees buckle during speech leading to questions of his health. And now Navalny has been relocated from his prison to an unknown location with no information given to his lawyer.


Strange things are afoot at the Circle K...

Eh, I think this report was a bit overblown by a couple of British tabloids looking for clicks. In the video he looks like he's just shifting his weight around like any near-septuagenarian with bad knees and/or ankles. It wouldn't surprise me if he's been putting off replacement surgery for years out of paranoia that a coup will go down as soon as he's under general anesthesia.

Nah, we need the Ohio River.

I'd say just give him the Confederacy but, you know, he already has it via his geek Dump.
 
Lies lies, lies, yeah (they're gonna get ya).

The UK Ministry of Defense assesses that the Kremlin’s continued framing of its invasion of Ukraine as a “special military operation” rather than a war is actively hindering Russian force generation capabilities. The UK Ministry of Defense reported on June 19 that Russian authorities are struggling to find legal means to punish military dissenters and those who refuse to mobilize because the classification of the conflict in Ukraine as a “special military operation” precludes legal punitive measures that could be employed during a formal war.[1] ISW has previously assessed that the Kremlin’s framing of the war as a “special operation” is compounding consistent issues with poor perceptions of Russian military leadership among Russian nationalists, problems with paying troops, lack of available forces, and unclear objectives among Russian forces. The Kremlin is continuing to attempt to fight a major and grinding war in Ukraine with forces assembled for what the Kremlin incorrectly assumed would be a short invasion against token Ukrainian resistance. The Kremlin continues to struggle to correct this fundamental flaw in its “special military operation.”

Does this mean France gets partitioned again?

Less than two months after he was re-elected president, Emmanuel Macron has lost control of the French National Assembly following a strong performance by a left alliance and the far right.

He had called on voters to deliver a solid majority.

But his centrist coalition lost dozens of seats in an election that has left French politics fragmented.

The prime minister he had only recently appointed, Elisabeth Borne, said the situation was unprecedented.

A storm broke over Paris as she returned to her Matignon residence from a long meeting at the presidential Elysee palace to say that modern France had never seen a National Assembly like this one.

The bluer the more Nazi, as FSM intended.

(We really need to swap the colors for the Dems and GOP to align with the rest of the fucking world.)

Nupes: Greens
Other left: Socialists and even actual Commies
Ensemble: Neo-liberal incompetents like the moderate Dems
UDI: Center-right incompetents like the old GOP
National Rally: Nazis like the new GOP
Other: Even stupider and sillier righties who hate Muslims

Langley, start the clock.

Leftist Gustavo Petro, a former member of the M-19 guerrilla movement who has vowed profound social and economic change, won Colombia’s presidency on Sunday, the first progressive to do so in the country’s history.

Petro beat construction magnate Rodolfo Hernandez with an unexpectedly wide margin of some 719,975 votes. The two had been technically tied in polling ahead of the vote.

Petro, a former mayor of capital Bogota and current senator, has pledged to fight inequality with free university education, pension reforms and high taxes on unproductive land. He won 50.5% to Hernandez’s 47.3%.

Petro’s proposals – especially a ban on new oil projects – have startled some investors, though he has promised to respect current contracts.
