Recently published Signal discussions in which senior Trump administration officials admit they “hate bailing out” America’s “pathetic” European allies have cast fresh doubt on the U.S. commitment to defending Europe. Even before these revelations, what Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk described as “a profound change of [sic] American geopolitics” had already provoked reappraisals across Europe of the future of nuclear deterrence on the continent.

It is years too late and alternative and independent media had already done so much work on exposing the reality, including 600+ page books which have been published, but the New York Times on Sunday is out with a lengthy report on The Partnership: The Secret History of America’s Role in the Ukraine War.
Up until very recently, mainstream media gatekeepers wouldn’t so much as admit that a proxy war has been unfolding from the very start of the conflict in Ukraine. This even after the so-called paper of record had earlier in Feb.
Women have a rich history in the U.S. military. They served as nurses dating back to World War I, but with some limited exceptions, women could not serve in other capacities until World War II. After the war ended, Congress passed legislation that allowed a small number of women to remain in the military but with many restrictions. Women could not fly combat aircraft or serve on combat ships, could not be promoted to the rank of general or admiral, did not receive equal benefits in some cases, and were kicked out if they became pregnant.
Even as the U.S. Air Force works to retire its fleet of A-10 Thunderbolt IIs, Warthogs are still proving useful in the ongoing fight against ISIS. And now, the U.S. military is sending additional Warthogs to the Middle East. It’s part of the latest build up of U.S. military power, as fighting ramps up against Houthi forces in Yemen.
The 124th Fighter Wing announced it was deploying more than 300 airmen and “multiple” A-10s to the CENTCOM area of responsibility. The troops and aircraft, flown by members of the 190th Fighter Squadron, left Idaho on Saturday, March 29.

Just one day after the Federal Aviation Administration’s leader told a Senate hearing that his organization has to “do better”in identifying safety threats like the conditions that precipitated January’s deadly midair collision at Reagan National Airport, a Delta passenger jet had a near-miss with a US Air Force jet near that very same airport.
The news was all the more disturbing given the January disaster that killed 67 people also involved a military aircraft — a US Army Black Hawk helicopter on a night training run.
I knew from the first few seconds that “Warfare” was going to be a different kind of war movie.
Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland’s film about a real battle in the Iraq War opens with a sexy, 80s workout-style music video for a dance song, which our starring military unit is watching together (probably since actual pornography isn’t allowed in a combat zone). The March 27 premiere in Los Angeles was loaded with veterans who were along for the joke, and the movie treated us to these types of authentic shenanigans throughout the first act before throwing us into combat.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is reopening the deferred resignation program and offering early retirement to eligible civilian workers as he seeks to “maximize participation.”
Hegseth on Friday signed a memo on “Initiating the Workforce Acceleration and Recapitalization Initiative” that was directed to senior Pentagon leadership, combatant commands, and defense agency and field activity directors.
“It’s an important new opportunity to right-size DOD,” Hegseth said in a video.
One of the U.S. Army Special Forces soldiers killed during the Oct. 4, 2017 ambush in Niger has been posthumously honored for a second time. Staff Sgt. Bryan C. Black’s Bronze Star, given for his actions during the ambush, is being upgraded to the Silver Star.
The upgraded honor, eight years after Black’s death, comes after the Army received and reviewed new body camera footage from the firefight. The footage came from Sgt. 1st Class Jeremiah Johnson’s helmet camera, and shows more of Black’s actions during that battle.
