- _DeadFred_ 7mo agoCrazy they just has to shutdown an airport in a separate incident in Texas on the 12th because they can't get it together on this stuff: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02/11/us/faa-el-paso-flights-airport https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02/11/us/faa-el-paso-fligh... What is going on at the Pentagon?

- peddling-brink 7mo agoThey are going to shoot down an airliner, then blame Anthropic and the Democrats.
- reacharavindh 7mo agoI mean, wouldn’t an even slightest clever adversary do just that? Launch a bunch of decoys(party balloons, drones, whatever) amidst one they actually want to actually use as an attack vector? Would the pentagon just play an expensive pew pew and potentially miss the real one?
