  • They are called different things. Some people call them cope cages. Others call them turtle tanks.

    In all, the idea is that if you have one of these meshes, drones cannot drop ordinance inside of the tank.

    Unfortunately, it is not recommended to do this, as a bigger target gives your position away.

    Some of the equipment or escape vectors are blocked off.

    But it also does nothing extra to protect the tank from the impact of Javelin missiles, or a tank round, a Bradley auto cannon. Or even from a drone that detonates over it.

    Though most drones don’t aim for the mesh, but the back of the tank, the tank tracks (Wheels), or the base of the turret which are the weak points.




  • I really don’t like that the sources on this article are missing.

    Sure, that’s a lot of money for the wealthy who control 93% of stock, but it’s also tens of millions of Americans who will have a more comfortable and secure retirement. In fact, the number of Americans who have over $1 million in their retirement accounts grew by 20% in the last quarter of 2023.

    Fine and dandy, except that half of Americans don’t have a retirement account. Or 47% of Americans.

    So while retirement indexes are up, 1:2 people are not going to see that.

    Inflation eased slightly in April — the first time this year that has happened. Overall inflation edged down to 3.4% and slipped to 3.6% when you exclude food and energy costs. (food expected to rise by an additional 2.2%)

    Good to see the brakes are working. But just remember that not everyone goes out to by a car or house on a twice-a-week basis. But everyone does with the grocery store. Which in Biden’s defense, he has started trying to pull back.

    Though effort =/= job done.





  • Sigh… I am so tired of this gaslighting.

    Just because people criticize Biden does not mean they are a follower of the MAGA cult.

    Biden can do so much better then this. People want a reason to support him.

    Instead we are being blamed for Biden’s failures, because Biden chooses not to listen. While every time we try to change course we are being told we are anti-democratic. That we are trying to get Trump elected.

    Like the average voter has more power then the president.

    At this point, I am on no-body’s side, because no one is anti-genocide.



  • The jury haven’t even made a ruling yet… All they’ve done is listen…

    “You are going into a kangaroo court. There’s nothing more. Nothing less. There’d be absolutely no reason, no justification to do that whatsoever.” - Donald Trump Jr.

    Not even an excuse? , if the jury only has one side of the story that is what they are going with.

    If you aren’t even going to put your fists up and spend all your time arguing with the referee, you can’t complain when you get KO’ed



  • If you go back in history more then Oct 7. You’ll find a lot of questions… like…

    • That 4 billion we sent to Israel… that was supposed to go to defense from attacks such as this… where did it go?

    • Why were the guards not even in armor before Hamas descended on them, even though there was an early warning?

    • How did a government that was warned of the attack a month before it happened decide to do nothing about it?

    • Why is Israel’s tactics not reflecting a hostage situation and more of a scorched-earth policy?

    • Why did Israel shoot their own hostages that were waving White flags?

    It’s not Israel’s pursuit of justice that disgusts people, it’s Israel’s deplorable tactics that is embarrassing both the US and Israel. Only Israel… doesn’t seemed to ashamed of them… While the US is burning global goodwill by the megaton.

    So yes, both sides.





  • they can consent to share their contact information “which the (Department of Health and Human Services) Secretary may use to conduct outreach via phone or email to follow up with users on additional resources.”

    The bill doesn’t explain how this collected data would be handled or who would have access to it. Critics said that vagueness poses concerns for pregnant women’s privacy.

    That is right, but also wrong.

    A. Just because giving data is consensual, does not mean it can’t/won’t be used against you. “Anything you say or said will be used against you in a court of law”

    B. There are no protections for this data. Who gets access to it?

    This is a trap being masqueraded as helpful for women that are pregnant, when this is the same trap as “Life clinics” faking being abortion clinics.
