Godholio posted:I assume so too. I'm just surprised (yeah yeah, I know) we were willing to target a loving general belong to a country we're not at war with, in a country he was welcomed into which is already pissed at us. And then confirm it up and down the street at the top of our lungs. There is very little Iran can do against the continental US, and trumps voting base doesn't care if the middle east devolves into Boogaloo 3: FYAD. In fact I assume most of them if anything are more likely to support trump for being big and strong and showing that little "Iran" who is boss. I can easily imagine the white house picturing a "War" where they just continually throw ordanance into the country, slowly, for months without ever sending in any 'are troops to die

I'm actually curious in if there is any escalation Iran can do that would not lead to Trump further escalating? Besides the legislature growing a pair and forbidding Trump the use of further military force in the middle east. I think anything Iran does besides posture is only going to result in an ouroboros of stupid death without escalating to nuclear war.

Kesper North posted:I for one read this thread a lot because you guys are normally a lot more targeted in your news and indeed your analysis than a lot of folks. The signal to noise is a lot lower here, and the focus on geopolitical and national security matters is of both professional and personal interest, and frankly I share the general sense of cynicism: it feels more like merely being more willing to accurately call poo poo poo poo. Lower signal to noise means more noise, so in a way you're right!

facialimpediment posted:There was a major problem in Ukraine, where the good-guy Ukranians kept getting killed by near pinpoint artillery strikes from bad-guy "Ukranians" and Russians. It was more or less proven that the bad guys had the ability to locate the good guys based on their smartphone pings off the network. Oh this story is even better. Some Ukranian officer developed an android app that did a whole bunch of artillery math, which stored the precise coordinates of the firing location. Of course the core app was backdoored by GRU software. So ukranian artillery groups thought they were being counterbatteried when really waiting for them to fire was just to obfuscate the SIGINT on the exact locations of the artillery pieces themselves.

Information security and real cyberwar is a black magic minefield and the only way to win is to not expose yourself to attack vectors. A cellphone in airplane mode might not be a threat on its own but it'll be death by a thousand papercuts if everybody has phones on deployment. Phones are only secure if you go in and rip out the antennas.

The importance of using good statistical and polling methodology to filter out people who would probably know but poke the middle of the screen anyway because they don't actually care. Also I'm finally out of Twitter Jail for that "No War With Iran" picture now that I guess the anxiety of the middle east no longer counts as violating twitter law.

Navy Example. The aide's themselves will all be pretty senior. Lets say you've got an middling Admiral, an O-8. He'll have a commander (O-5) as senior errand boy to go tell other important people messages on the admirals behalf and handle scheduling etc. Each of them will have a senior enlisted, a Master Chief (E-9), as their enforcers. Master Chiefs have authority because they've been in the service for longer than most officers and actually know whats going on. They get positional authority as well because they're part of the Admirals staff. Then you have the gophers. This will be one or two promising junior officers, Lieutenants (O-3). These tend to be either exceptionally smart guys who still have energy to do their jobs or bootlicking academy grads who are friendly with the right people. They follow along and do miscellaneous work, both for the senior officers and the senior enlisted. Then you get down to the minions. The staff gremlins who do the daily grind, E-5's and E-6s. The only positional authority they get is when they're doing normal job things and people are being uncooperative. Now the implicit positional authority is when you're in their office and trying to get them to do something YOU want them to do for you, and they can mostly just slow roll you if they don't want to do it because whatever it is is ~surely~ less important than the work for the admiral. Also since they're on the admirals staff they will gently caress you over out of spite if you are a dick to them. "Our shipping receipts say you never submitted that critical package due friday, so sad" sort of quiet revenge. McNally posted:The kind of authority being thrown around because of who someone works for won't get extended to some junior enlisted dude. If an officer is high ranking enough that people working for him have that kind of clout to throw around, they're usually wearing stars and are telling junior officers to do their bidding. Yeah the junior enlisted in this scenario is a minion, but one of many lesser minions.

As far as the peace plan goes I was actually expecting it to be to the tune of: “Israel is good to settle everything, gently caress Palestinians” so technically this is a step up? But holy gently caress even expecting nothing they still make me angry with this.
