    Explosion At SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket Launch Site In Florida

    Terrible news. Since the payload was lost this is at par, or even worse than a launch RUD because of the damage to the pad. Expect no launches for the rest of the year easily. Very unfortunate and I hope they are able to get back on their feet after this. SpaceX has captured the hearts and...

    Lockheed’s F-35 Still Falls Short, Pentagon’s Tester Says

    Gilmore is the head of the DoT&E. His department's report comes from the issues reported by the JPO, so when they say there are no surprises, that's because they reported it to him. Its his job to go after every little issue that is normal within the developing cycle. Remember his criticism of...

    Turkish Peace Operations in Syria (Operation Olive Branch) Updates & Discussions

    Seriously doubt it, more likely Turkey will try to pass it off as an accident (it probably would be too!) and the US will increase air combat patrols over SDF territory east of the Euphrates and deter Turkey from bombing close to areas of its operation. They also might discontinue recon and...

    Turkish Peace Operations in Syria (Operation Olive Branch) Updates & Discussions

    depends. If its private volunteers I don't see there being any waves, but if its US spec ops the sh*t storm will be legendary. I doubt there are any west of the Euphrates though.

    Well as expected this will take a while regardless of outcome. I'd expect for this to be settled under Hillary's watch. Is the embassy spokesman a US plant?

    Turkish ground forces/tanks entered Syria

    By support I meant approval, not actual military support, since it is right next store to Turkey no doubt Turkey doesn't need US logistical capabilities. That said, Turkey would want US approval for this given the US role in Syria, and again capabilities in the region. Given the coalition...

    Turkish Peace Operations in Syria (Operation Olive Branch) Updates & Discussions

    No doubt there was a deal hammered out between Turkey, the US, Iran, Russia, :edit: scratch the SDF the FSA having more territory is not preferable to Assad because the SAA is in open conflict with the FSA, so I think Assad was told what will happen by the Russians and they'll have to deal with...
