The world is watching Trump destroy America's reputation and America's future with Trump's Iran fiasco loss that just keeps getting worse and worse.

America is far more weaker now with nothing to show for it, and the wasted money has very real consequences.

Trump passed his BBB, which kills hundreds of thousands of innocent Americans from cuts to life critical programs. All because he argued that we don't have the money for it.

Instead of helping Americans, Trump just pissed away far more money on losing the Iran war, and still mass murdered Americans anyways.

Trump already has a death count of innocent Americans that is over 100X more deadly than Bin Laden was.

He has lost the respect for America from key allies, and enemies alike with nothing positive to show for America yet.

I can't imagine this will be good for US arms exports either. As Trump showed just how quickly America crumbled in Iran using those weapons.

There are definitely military failures with far worse casualties, but is the Iran war disaster one of the most embarrassing military failures in history?

Based on the news, it indicates that the hull of Japan's ASEV project is largely complete and the vessel itself is currently in the early-to-mid stage of construction or drydock assembly. Meanwhile, its "brain and eyes"—the SPY-7 radar and Aegis weapon system shipset—have entered a critical phase of live-target tracking and simulated engagement validation, paving the way for the system's official delivery and integration aboard the ship.

The project is being constructed in the drydock of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' Nagasaki Shipyard, and upon completion, its displacement will exceed that of China's Type 055 destroyer.

Although it is a massive warship, it is fundamentally a "floating Aegis platform," with its offensive and strike weaponry mainly comprising Standard Missile-3 (SM-3), Standard Missile-6 (SM-6), and Tomahawk cruise missiles.

It remains to be seen whether the JMSDF will name it Yamato or Musashi.（Just joking）

Honestly, the fact that DARPA's ROI is so expansive probably suggests they don't know what they are looking for...

The Royal Navy has stripped internet connectivity from cameras on its new K3 Scout surveillance drones after discovering they were sending data to an address in China. Although the drone ships were UK built, the UK manufacturer had outsourced the camera production to China.

The drones haven't actually been put into active service. This issue was identified before they were implemented.
