I'm not going to go into a lot of detail as to why I'm not anti American (I've explained that before) other than to say Artemis II was a fantastic success (apart from the loos) and shows the USA's greatness and it's ability to cooperate with partners such as ESA and others. My comments are sympathetic with sentiments from US friends and contacts who aren't anti their own country, just concerned about what's going on their. (And some of their comments are so extreme I wouldn't repeat them on this forum!) It's not me or others on this forum calling for Amendment 25; it's many Democrats in Congress introducing legislation based on President Trump's wild, undiplomatic, statements and their perception of his falling approval ratings because of the concerns of the American public (ok, it's unlikely to succeed). Not all Americans want him upsetting their allies, leaving NATO, forcing Ukraine to cede territory to Russia. Other NATO members should contribute their dues, and I don't think it's in NATO's interest for the US to leave but countries and governments in Europe, Canada, etc must stick by their own standards and principles of what they consider right and wrong; democratic allies should be able to disagree amicably. And when Pete Hesgeth quotes the bible according to Quentin Tarantino, one has to wonder how irony in comedy programs will survive - I don’t know if he did that deliberately or do evangelistic Christians not know their bible? https://www.unilad.com/news/us-news/pete-hegseth-bible-passage-pulp-fiction-643973-20260416 And I think with all his gung ho talk he may be in danger of underestimating his enemy- or perhaps his enemy's allies? I must admit I'd not come across this idea of transferring ownership of a satellite once it's in orbit: Iran Bought Chinese Satellite In Orbit, Then Used It To Target US Bases: But let's hope there's another round of peace talks that sorts this mess out? |
