France can't catch a loving break. Someone drove a truck into a crowd of people out for Bastille Day. Maybe gunfire? Maybe fireworks? Dozens dead, they think.

Eyewitness reports are saying the guy clearly gunned the truck through the crowd, also reports that armed men got out, also reports of a hostage situation. You generally don't issue a shelter in place order for a car accident.

Looks like the gunfire may have been the cops shooting at the cab.

Best Friends posted:There was a NY times article about her looking at (which means her staff is intentionally floating the idea to see how people react) of a former NATO commander as VP. I had a couple interactions with him and he came off as being wicked loving smart. Didn't know/heard anything about an ethics investigation. Pretty much anyone I knew who dealt with him said he came off as a GO/Flag who wasn't a total utter prick and actually listened to the peons. So there's that piece of anec-data.

Honestly, ever since the Akihabara incident I've been wondering how long it was going to take for terrorists to start using vehicles as weapons. They're basically the perfect terror weapon.

Stavridis isn't terrible. The ethics investigation was relatively small potatoes by SACEUR terms (he just flew his wife around with him on a couple of official trips in conjunction with some non-official business and may not have completely reimbursed the government the proper amount due to some clerical gently caress-ups on his voucher...he was ultimately cleared and it's not like he pulled a Ward and just bilked the government out of hundreds of thousands of dollars). By retired general standards he's not too much of a hawk, he's a big proponent of "smart power" and he's probably one of the most intelligent four-stars we've had in recent years. He was one of the first senior leaders in the military to fully embrace openly writing about military/professional poo poo on the internet, he's been heavily involved with USNI to try and increase the amount of military personnel who are reading/thinking/writing professionally. She could do worse. VikingSkull posted:a nicely worded request for C-17 assistance don't forget the tankers too

Stavridis is pretty good. As was mentioned earlier his "ethics" thing wasn't really a big deal especially given how loving confusing travel regulations actually are. He's likeable, smart, reasonable, and was most assuredly the most qualified EUCOM we've had in a long, long time given he has a PhD in European History and Relations. He was also SOUTHCOM and made his name there by restructuring the whole place. If you've heard the term "interagency" that was all the rage a few years ago you can thank him because that's how he built SOUTHCOM and proved it can work so he's got the chops to bust up government stovepipes and rice bowls which would be nice.

I wonder if ISIS is putting the pedal to the metal on terrorists attacks* in order to get Trump burning rubber in the polls, because that's the highest-torque means for ISIS to shoot out America's engine block. *That #Nice truck massacre isn't yet attributed to ISIS or anyone
