Just a lesson this species still needs to learn about concentrating so much power in the hands of so few people.

US says it has 2,000 troops in Syria, not 900 as previously declared


After years of telling the public that the United States has about 900 troops in Syria, the Pentagon has revealed there are approximately 2,000 soldiers there — double the previous estimate.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Pentagon spokesperson Pat Ryder said the additional US forces have been in Syria since before the ouster of former President Bashar al-Assad this month, though he did not specify a timeframe.

“We have been briefing you regularly that there are approximately 900 US troops deployed to Syria. In light of the situation in Syria and the significant interest, we recently learned that those numbers were higher,” Ryder said.

we recently learned that those numbers were higher,” Ryder said


Who the fuck is "we" in this statement? The Pentagon?!

Just a little oopsie where you misplace (at least) 1100 troops in a foreign country. Totally normal and not CIA related.

Tried calibre for the first time this week. Geez how simple it was to get it up and place my first eBook on my reader. It was all done in a matter of some few minutes, very intuitively. I didn't even need to get any documentation open. Great tool!

This is one piece of software that has an update almost every time I open it and I'm never ever worried about updating it. 💪


Framgångsrikt arbete mot sprängningar i kriminella miljöer menar polisen. Allt fler sprängdåd förhindras hävdar de. En av anledningarna enligt dem är att tillgången till sprängmedel från den civila marknaden har minskat kraftigt. Men det är nog inte hela förklaringen för allt annat våld i kriminella miljöer har också minskat sen förra året.

Given that the survey is in English, I'm guessing mostly people from English speaking countries took it.

Houthi missile launch intercepted overnight; major damage to school


Israel's missile defense system successfully intercepted a Yemeni ballistic missile early Thursday, but the operation's debris caused significant damage to an elementary school in central Israel, forcing its immediate closure and highlighting the expanding reach of regional conflicts.

The incident in Ramat Gan occurred at 2:47 a.m. when interceptor fragments struck the school's main building.

Yeah this tactic is widely done on both sides, that's why It was obnoxious when people bitched about how they're hiding in civilian targets so is really couldn't get to them and I'm just thinking that's exactly what Israel is doing as well. Hell if I recall correctly isn't Israel the one that set up a literal makeshift boot camp inside of a hospital?
