A Hamas affiliated DOCTOR at Shifa hospital injected air into Noa Marciano’s veins. Shortly after, her father received the horror clip of her murder on telegram. “There are mornings that I wake up those images.’” These are the genocidal savages in Gaza that must be disarmed,

That's awesome. Super charging a growing India with starlink.
A pleasure to meet @LaurenDreyer, Vice President of @Starlink Business Operations (SpaceX) and the senior leadership team to discuss advancing satellite-based last-mile access across India. As we work to advance PM @narendramodi ji’s vision of a digitally empowered India,

On Human Rights Day, Pakistan performs its ritual of treaty signing and moral posturing. It is a signatory to seven core UN human rights treaties, yet its military remains the single biggest violator of the very rights it claims to defend. Nowhere is this more visible than in the

Will anyone who supported the Hamas propaganda in media or politics feel an ounce of shame? Horrific.
HORRIFYING: The family of former hostage Noa Marciano, z"l, revealed that they were sent a video of their daughter being executed by a doctor in a Gazan hospital. Her father still wakes up from nightmares about the video. The doctor injected air into her veins. Noa was

I wish more folks in the U.S. understood that most sUAS ops in Ukraine are not just strike-focused. Many involve mobility and counter-mobility, a mostly unknown drone topic in the U.S./NATO sphere currently.

“Quit Romancing the Horse: AI Is Your Tank, Not Your Cheat Code” The same intellectuals sneering at officers who use AI for ops orders, MDMP, and reports are spiritual descendants of the 1916 cavalry generals who swore the horse would never lose to the tank—and the battleship

Disgusting IMO. Just like during the KKK times, there should be anti-masking laws for these cowards. "Anti-masking laws have a long history in America; states as culturally and politically varied as Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Louisiana, North Carolina,

Anti-masking laws worked against the KKK. They’ll work against today’s criminals and bigots, too.
Everyone should be as concerned about these protesters marching behind the Hamas flag in Brooklyn yesterday as we would be if KKK bigots marched behind a burning cross carrying nooses or goose-stepping Nazis marched with swastikas.

Tunnel in Gaza. 10 kilometers! Up to 25 meters deep. According to @ynetnews the IDF never found the tunnel despite searching for it (Hamas revealed jt). There are 600 miles of tunnels in Gaza. One of the strategic issue for any stability in Gaza is the finding and destroying of
