I think this is the first 787 hull loss? Early footage shows landing gear down and struggling to gain altitude.

Its likely to go down but not all the embassies are evacuated. Baghdad is sending home non-essential staff. Bahrain and Kuwait are offering evac to families if they want it.

America's Foreign Policy & Other Shit Going On Around the World thread
956 Worldwide replied to bolverk's topic in Cloak Room
Embassy Baghdad is drawing down all non-critical staff, others are evacuating families, and others called emergency action committee meetings. Lots of indicators that Iran-Israel is about to pop off in a big way. -
I was glad to see this thread bumped for Gabbard’s craziness. And delighted to see Ana simping out for her as expected. A few thoughts: - Who produced this? Its clearly well done. It went out on her personal accounts. Its not branded by ODNI or the IC. Usually its out of the ordinary for senior intelligence officials to give their personal thoughts on foreign policy to the public but I guess we are doing this now? - You know what didn’t get mentioned? Donald Trump or the cabinet that she serves in. Not even an acknowledgment that she is part of it. That’s kind of weird. - Who are the political elite warmongers that are pushing us to nuclear war? Is the cabinet-level intelligence official not part of the political elite? Was this info considered for the PDB or was X a more effective vector? - You’re the goddamned DNI, Tulsi! If anyone gets a bunker it’s you! Shouldn’t you be telling us what you’re doing about the incoming catastrophe? What is the point of telling us this? We have the equivalent of the pilot coming on the intercom and warning that he’s going to fly the plane into a mountain plane unless the good people in Economy Select figure something out. The reality: Tulsi got excluded from the top foreign policy team that went to Camp David to talk Iran. She was excluded because she is crazy and unreliable and was simply given a title and a platform as a sop to the Anastasis electorate. No one was ever going to take her seriously and her job is to feed sixty five year old docs into AI to keep the nutjob caucus engaged. So good job, Ana, you got played. You utter fucking child.

We are about to start ramping up flights to Guantanamo. We already have close to 10k in the pipelines. Stated reason is to ease overcrowding in US facilities. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/10/trump-plans-migrants-guantanamo-bay-00396673 A big part of this is just messaging. Warning the world we will stuff you in GITMO for not having papers. Its time for all to admit that the libs were absolutely right that W’s decisions would be expanded and weaponized.

Its the goal. This sets up raids in neighborhoods and charges for not showing up.

2025 LA Civilian and National Guard Conflict
956 Worldwide replied to Captainant's topic in Daily Texan
The army is basically organized around the BCT, so any almost any time army units are deployed they will be elements of a BCT. That said, this is a clear provocation. The admin feels above water on immigration and knows that the military is popular. He wants to have the image of protesters fighting uniforms. -
The admin is absolutely trying to provoke conflict. Immigration is the one issue where they are still above water and the military is one of the few institutions that is still deeply trusted. They are craving images of masked people, maybe waving foreign flags, in a conflict with uniformed troops. It’s a provocation.

Massive attack on Kyiv tonight, per some friends I’m texting with. Might be the “response.”

Does Kreuz do briskets? I seem to remember they did clod? I haven’t been since the mid-2000s.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]

A return to just funding NASA to build rockets would be a best case scenario but I guarantee Bezos has already called to make Truth integrated with Amazon prime. -
Looks like Graham is taking that post as a go-ahead to move the bill. Thune and the Senate had been waiting for DJT to give the nod.
-
Usually this would be via immigration court. A real judge has right to see this if there is a question. Announcing it all on Truth likely guarantees the intervention if anyone is tracking the real motivation here.

It’s a screenshot. The bill is one that imposes significant new sanctions but most importantly 500 percent tariffs on nations importing Russian energy. Has 80 co-sponsors in the Senate. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/05/29/congress-russia-sanctions-trump-putin/

Reposting a May 29 op-ed with this quote. Seems it might be the sign Congress needs to move the Senate bill.

I think this is being framed wrong, largely because of the way the admin communicates. But at its heart, deportation or removal is not a punishment or punitive proceeding. That is well established for decades, as is the principle that the standard is not the same as criminal proceedings. Assuming things are as reported, here is the logic tree: 1. An administrative stay of removal is just that, administrative. It in no way implies a broader right to remain in the U.S. and does not foreshadow a favorable decision on the claim. 2. The father has clearly demonstrated that his claim to asylum is invalid and not in the interests of the United States. 3. Under the law, any dependents attached to his claim are decided in lines with the principal applicant. 4. People with denied asylum claims are either removed expeditiously or referred to an immigration court for removal. To be very blunt: The argument any of these dependents has a right to stay is the one that needs to be made. Legally, the case is far more easily made that they should be removed.
-
Another key point: if an asylum applicant adds dependents to the application, the asylum case stands or falls on the decision for the applicant. You can’t pass off the claim to a spouse or child for another bite, a denied asylum claim means everyone on the petition is ordered removed. It’s gonna be super likely that this guy’s app got pulled out of the pile for some expedited attention.

Their visas don’t have to be revoked. They are already invalid and were once the asylum claim was filed. The asylum claim gets them a stay of removal while their asylum claim was pending. Shit gets misreported in the press and and it’s complicated. Without records we don’t have, it’s impossible to tell but here is the likely sequence of events: 1. Under expedited removal they will be found to have committed fraud or misrepresentation to gain entry. 2. A sped-up “credible fear removal” will be conducted, which is required when you want to use expedited removal on someone who has a pending asylum claim. 3. Removal A few more points, yes family members of terrorists are removed or deported all the time, and visas revoked. Open question is whether this dude is a “terrorist.” Second, yes it’s almost certain that they used fraud to obtain their visas. In fact, for consular purposes it’s considered prima facie fraud if you file a claim or try to adjust status within a certain window of obtaining a visa or being granted entry on a tourist visa, as you are REQUIRED to affirm that your intentions are to stay for a short term. The fraud is baked in. Third, a genuine asylum claim can overcome that fraud but a bullshit one cannot. Fourth, this guy’s claim has a high chance of being bullshit. Many, many are. There are 3.6 million in the pipeline and for decades there hasn’t been much scrutiny. Cases from Egypt and authoritarian states are especially bullshit because in nearly all cases, people with a real specific fear of being targeted can’t get passports and aren’t allowed to leave. Worst case you can (likely) say about this family is that their dad’s actions brought a level of scrutiny to their pending claims and actions to get to the United States that could have been avoided if this guy had kept his head down and not firebombed people. But the treatment they are getting likely completely justified under existing law. I’d expect a similar, but less aggressively public, response from most admins.

What all these attacks has (along with the attack on the Cole, or for that matter Pearl Harbor) was that they hit the adversary in a way that was unexpected where they thought they were safe. And there are a lot of lessons here that are valid for us. We have a lot of vulnerable airfields, including places we are or would want to be in the Pacific. Our HUMINT is frankly degraded. Our port security is shit. This type of stuff can happen to us, but not because we are investing in great capabilities but because we can do what the Russians did which is get lazy and complacent and believe that the enemy won’t reach us. But we shouldn’t overestimate what this means. I promise Ukraine would rather be fighting this war with F-35s and B2s. A good step one would be to ditch the useless Golden Dome idea and get real about border/port security instead of performative deportations.

Tracking Trump Administration and Cabinet picks
956 Worldwide replied to PenelopeWitherspoon's topic in Cloak Room
Huh. How odd. https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-official-shut-down-russia-095504636.html -
I’m not super worried about a cargo ship full of FPV drones swarming a carrier underway and ready, so the Ukraine scenario isn’t a likelihood. Carriers move and are a long way from anywhere that can launch an attack, even China is going to struggle with real time-targeting. And that’s before the active and passive defenses come into play.

That wiki estimate is for airframes built up until the collapse of the USSR. And it’s really hard to verify the numbers for those. The 1992-2007 years would have seen many of these put in storage and raided for parts, and then after 2008 when investment started to pick up, a lot of them went to get an upgrade to the A-50U type which Russia struggled to finish. Unlikely to know for sure without classified sources but I’d say that low double digit to high single digit usable aircraft is reasonable at the outbreak of the full scale invasion.
