      I agree with you. I read her book on Area 51 history and it's total garbage. After reading 3/4 of that dog, I trust nothing she writes. The book was full of conflicting information and so full of logical problems that events could not have happened per her sources, somebody was wrong and somebody was right and she did nothing to address any of it. (One glaring example: if the USSR had UFO stealth technology and were flying the saucer that crashed at Roswell, NM that entered our country undetected and remained undetected until it crashed, why were they floating spy balloons in the early 1970s and they have yet to manufacture a legitimate stealth aircraft?) The Area 51 association of former employees regrets ever having anything to do with her, she took their information and twisted it to fit some fiction account.
      It's also glaringly obvious that she has ZERO knowledge of anything to do with aerospace. I don't expect everybody to know the published specs of the SR-71 to a whisker, but she's not even aware of the typical speed that an airliner flies, where the space shuttle flew, or what it's typical orbital speed was +/- 1000 MPH. She doesn't even know a ballpark figure of what Mach 1 is, and she's writing books about aerospace? That's pretty appalling. With that piece of garbage under her belt, I trust nothing that comes from her. Pulitzer Prize author my a$$.

      Terrorism is trying to deal with something by causing straight terror. Assassinations are the opposite, they're for when democracy is impossible and when war is unavoidable, if a leader of a country for example was clearly leading his people to March on the US im pre sure if you were in the US' shoes you would want that leader dealt with quickly and quietly.
      Again terrorism is causing terror on purpose to achieve a goal, assassinations are about quietly dealing with a threat in order to avoid causing terror. Literally the opposite.

Just like us, and why people like Gates, Bezo's and Musk are fucking insane. They have it all. What's the point of getting out of bed? So they come up with theses Ideals and try to convince the world that they're right. They could use their money for the good of mankind. But they grow meat in labs, create deadly viruses and fly to places we will never live. They think they're like a god and man will exist for ever.

Saudi assassinating journalist was wrong but if USA agent in foreign country doing that its ok. There are multiple examples of USA doing that. Not supporting any country assassinating on foreign land but that does shows any one with power can do it 1000 times and still be called hero using soft power and social media.
    These rules and regulations are for all countries except USA which can force power to do the opposite while if any other country does it sanctions and threats roam around them.

      It's not just the US. I'm convinced 99% of the countries are in bed with one another and have talks to allow certain things to get away with other things. Like the US either allowing 911 to get something in trade or doing it themselves for another country to get something from said country, such as, the blame on certain individuals and the take down of others. Not saying that's what I necessarily think happened, I'm just using it as an example.

      He ended up signing more executive orders and more drone bombing deaths all across globe.
      He ran out all the parts nessary to keep jet fighter's in air during war-time. Used up all bombs.
      That is why Trump took so much criticism at first in white house.
      Biden has run into same thing with equipment left behind in Afghanistan. Then spending 160 billion in Ukraine.
      Everything is running out and will cost even possibly double due to inflation.
      So that 80 billion of equipment lost in Afghanistan is now over 160 billion.
      160 billion plus in Ukraine is double too.
      That's taxes for now and next 100 year's.
      China refused to sell rare earth minerals that are needed to make computer chips in our guidance control systems.
      Strategic oil reserves gone too.

    There is a lot of bad krav maga out there unfortunately, but I loved what I learned training with the right group. I lived with a PMC that introduced me to krav maga and I started training at one place that really disappointed me because it was a lot of complicated moves being taught by people I would not bet on in an altercation in a million years. It was just good cardio. I switched over to a smaller group run by people that had seen more than their share of real combat, and I could tell immediately that they cared that I'd be ready to take care of myself in a bad situation. 'If it's not simple, it's not krav maga,' was one of the things that was often said. Really, we spent a lot of time focusing on aggression under stress and causing damage, not just pain, so you can neutralize a threat as fast as possible to get away. Spent a decent amount of time boxing and striking, some amount of time on ground work, a good amount of time dealing with knife attacks, then some small amount of time dealing with firearms. The structure of the class was what I think was the most important though, we'd start out doing some different drills, exercises, and techniques to wear us out and get our heart rates up, then that's when we'd start sparring or dealing with being attacked. Sometimes, the instructor would secretly slip a student one of the training knives, and then kill the lights or something and that student would run around stabbing people and we were supposed to stop them. Other times, it would be just sparring with one partner after another. Sometimes, it would be you in the middle of a circle with everyone taking turns trying to take you down, put you in a choke, stab you, or pull a gun on you - but you didn't know who was next or what their plan was. The idea was that a lot technique will go out the window once you're stressed, so that's why they would try to wear us out first, then throw us in the ringer. You just have to stay aggressive and apply the combatives that have become muscle memory as best you can rather than trying to remember some choreographed techniques against a choreographed attacker
