"Any agreement or understanding that opens the doors to foreign troops or military personnel to operate in our region is unconstitutional and violates the Spirit of the Torrijos-Carter treaties," notes Miguel Antonio Bernal, a professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Panama, referencing the agreements that in 1977 ended the U.S. military presence in the so-called "Canal Zone." #Panama #Pentagono #DonaldTrump (translated)

I am not going to use nuclear (power). We don't have to do it. The U.S. President, Donald Trump, assured that he will not use nuclear weapons in Iran, but does not rule out attacking with the so-called "Mother of all Bombs" (MOAB), the largest non-nuclear missile in the Pentagon's known arsenal. #Trump #Irán #Conflicto (translated)

A 2009 Pentagon document, recently declassified, reveals attempts by the U.S. to achieve the 'warp speed' of the Enterprise ship from 'Star Trek', which theoretically would allow travel to Mars in just 193 seconds. #VelocidadDeCurvatura #StarTrek #InvestigaciónEspacial (translated)

Ukraine urgently needs to use Elon Musk's Starlink satellites in the war against Russia, but faces restrictions imposed by the Pentagon that limit its effectiveness and put both the armed forces and the civilian population at risk. #Ucrania #Starlink #GuerraRusiaUcrania (translated)

It could have constituted a strong deterrent, showing the world how America treats terrorists and scum like Hasan. The Pentagon chief's forward escape had been embraced by Trump, who in recent days claimed in front of the cameras that the decision was his. #DonaldTrump #FortHood #Esecuzione (translated)

Earlier this month, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's announcement that N. M. Hasan's execution would be public, and the subsequent Pentagon confirmation that it would be broadcast live, received harsh criticism from both Republicans and Democrats. #DonaldasTrumpas #Pentagonas #FortHudoEgzekucija (translated)

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has decided that the Pentagon will not live broadcast the execution by firing squad of Nidal Malik Hasan, who killed 13 people in a shooting at Fort Hood in 2009, despite having initially considered the idea of broadcasting the execution as an example. #PenaDeMuerte #FortHood #Trump (translated)

I believe that broadcasting the execution live for everyone to see could have been a strong deterrent for the world to witness how the United States treats terrorists and scum like Hasan, but many very good and well-intentioned people would prefer not to see him die, neither by live broadcast nor by any other visual means. U.S. President Donald Trump announced this Thursday that the execution of the Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Malik Hasan, will not be broadcast live as the Pentagon had requested. #NidalHasan #FortHood #Trump (translated)

Donald Trump has decided to cancel the live broadcast of the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, the perpetrator of the Fort Hood massacre, following criticism received for the Pentagon's proposal, although the execution will take place privately. #NidalHasan #FortHood #Trump (translated)

The Pentagon has proposed the use of the mother of all bombs, the GBU-43/B, as part of its plans to resume attacks against Iran, focused on destroying energy infrastructure and nuclear cores, despite doubts about its effectiveness against deeply fortified targets. #MadreDeTodasLasBombas #GuerraIrán #Pentágono (translated)

Nacho Montes de Oca claimed that Elon Musk had used Starlink for political purposes to pressure the Ukrainian government and that it was not the first time he, according to him, had aided Vladimir Putin or followed Donald Trump's orders at a critical moment. He stated that the decision could commercially harm SpaceX by exposing it to geopolitical risks similar to those that, in his opinion, contributed to the international ban on Huawei. Montes de Oca wrote that the intermittent use of critical technological infrastructure as a tool of political or military pressure could lead Western governments to accelerate the development of sovereign networks. He also pointed out that the interruption would have forced the cancellation or failure of several Ukrainian drone missions, reduced the commercial appeal of Starlink for defense customers, and put contracts with the Pentagon and the trust of European partners at risk. Among them, he mentioned Poland, which, he indicated, financed about 50 million dollars annually in terminals for Ukraine. The author estimated the global market for military communications and satellites in 2026 to be 22.03 billion dollars, if only encrypted tactical communication services were counted. He warned that defense buyers could consider their reliance on a private provider financially risky. In his background review, Montes de Oca stated that in September 2002 Ukraine requested to activate Starlink in the region of Sevastopol, in occupied Crimea, to guide maritime drones against the Russian Black Sea fleet, but Musk rejected the request. He added that on September 30 of that year, SpaceX interrupted the signal for several hours—and, in some areas, days—in the regions of Kherson and Donetsk during a Ukrainian counteroffensive, which, he wrote, left drones disconnected and temporarily halted military operations. Montes de Oca also said that the following month Musk threatened to stop providing the service because he could not finance it indefinitely and reversed the decision days later, before the Pentagon formally took over the contracts and Poland covered part of the costs. Additionally, he noted that in February 2023, SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell confirmed that the company had technically limited the use of Starlink in Ukrainian attack drones and asserted that those restrictions had been tightened. Finally, he stated that Airbus was leading the European response and that, with 5.3 billion euros from the European military space program, it was designing and building low-orbit platforms for national and sovereign satellite networks. #ElonMusk #Starlink #Ucrania (translated)

The streaming execution of Malik Hasan, announced by the Pentagon, is causing strong criticism, not only from the opposition and human rights organizations but also from Republican figures, including members of Congress and religious leaders, questioning the effectiveness of Trump's move in view of the midterm elections. #DonaldTrump #ElezioniMidterm #PenaDiMorte (translated)
