If aliens have the tech to fly from solar systems away to come and conquer us we’re pretty screwed and anyone serious in government knows this


Yeah AARO has been known to be pro-Pentagon for awhile now with Kirkpatrick playing role of chief misinformer. It looks like this is his counter play to Grusch and the NJ UAP sightings


The Ukraine conflict has frequently raised nuclear fears mostly due to Russian nuclear sabre rattling. But this has been happening since 2022 and it’s hard to see anything going hot anytime soon


Yeah, so how are we on the verge of nuclear war?


We’re not. The author is just caught up in the threats/fear


It doesn’t always have to monetarily benefit anyone. It’s just fringe leaders playing to fringe ideas in this case


This is an absolute trash take. I've been through the NIH grant process as a white male and there was absolutely 0 mention of diversity, DEI, or whatever other qualifying characteristic of my grant. It came totally down to the content of my proposal. You don't know what you're talking about


You would think that for releasing a major story like this that Hersh would be trying to get his details correct. Confusing father and son is not a negligible error.



The amount of pro-Russia apologia on this thread is pretty incredible. There are a number of salient points raised in this article discussing how details of the original article are implausible. However instead of addressing any of these points or inconsistencies directly, people simply say this rebuttal is "non-credible." I had expected more from this readership.


What I like about audience here is - majority still express critical thinking while assessing events. If you are looking forward to primitive discussions "Russia bad US good" based on emotions, you may look to other communities, there are aplenty.


Likely a defensive acquisition for Microsoft. Facebook would probably be rejected from the deal for anti-trust reasons so it basically comes down to Google and Amazon that could acquire. So its probably Microsoft denying either of these companies the opportunity to improve their own social network brand while finding a way to pose future competition to Facebook.


Google would go through a long anti trust because of Youtube too, no? Even if they prevail, it would be a long fought battle that makes them a no go.

Amazon is there though yeah.

Maybe we’ll have Salesforce swoop in and try to merge. Like the wanting to buy Twitter :).


Well can't say I'm surprised at these reactions. Random internet dude releases opinion, followed by everyone else releasing their opinions all over the internet. Discord ensues.
