    There was a news conference today, I had it on in the backgroung so I'm not sure who said it, but Milley was there... whoever was talking said they weren't sure if it was deliberate or not. It was an official thing so... that's the current 'best we can get' as these things go.

    This however, was on the mind of every press agent there.
    And the Fox news hosts earlier today were going on about it too.
    The answer was it was 4000 feet deep there, and the drone operator took the required measures to secure anything that might be worth Russia getting. Obviously that means the software had a self-destruct code, but still... there remains tons of reverse engineering fodder there that Russia will love to have.

    Who knows what's going on via back-channels that we are not privy to via our cable feed-bags that only report what they're told... but hopefully there's still some bad ass flag rank in the Pentagon that are doing their job the way it's supposed to be done.

  4. More importantly there’s some festering going on in the golf forum.

    I saw that.
    Trust me... whoever asked if he had ever paid for on-line lessons.... too funny.
    Who the f would pay for on-line golf lessons? Like they'd really improve your game. :banghead:

    There's a reason that thread has been dormant so long... it's called "the wall of 80".
    B1 is learning all about it. 85 more than likely.

    It is totally impossible for Joe to bring Saudi and Iran together.

    China is getting more and more powerful.

    The entire intent of this agreement is to allow Iran to avoid sanctions by trans-shipping goods from China via Saudi Arabia. The Saudis get to take a big cut, China makes profits, and Iran gets stuff to booster up their military & technology efforts.

    This is not really a political agreement about peace but an agreement designed to support commercial interests --- while also allowing China portray itself as a global political player.

    "Without provocation?" Do you realize how many people Soleimani has killed around the world via terrorist acts he instigated and funded? This includes Americans. IMO his death was overdue and well-deserved.
