Planet Labs, one of the world’s leading commercial satellite imaging companies, said Friday it is placing a hold on releasing imagery of some parts of the Middle East as a regional war enters its second week.

Planet wants to prevent “adversarial actors” from using images for “Battle Damage Assessment” purposes.

    I think they are lying about the casualty counts as well. Pete looks extra scared in his most recent broadcasts, he’s masking like a mfer. The bottle is his only safety.

      I heard 200 dead the first day.

      The US 5ft fleet base (second largest in the region) was hit multiple times in the first few HOURS of the war. there was a billion dollar radar system there and a large wide building that I saw with a large hole in its roof. Since then it has been hit repeatedly and from what I heard, is basically gone. There were like 9000 troops stationed there.

        Ol Petey has been sucking his own farts for too long.

        The United States Military undeniably has a technological and financial lead compared to basically every other nation.

        He forgot that it doesn’t matter if you have a lead when you don’t have a plan to use any of that shit. You could put a chimpanzee in the cockpit of an F35, that doesn’t mean it can do anything productive with it. That’s Pete Hegseth.

          That’s Pete Hegseth

          The chimpanzee, or the f-35? One is an intelligent hominid, the other a quintessential example of a military industrial complex boondoggle underperforming for decades

        I find it very unlikely the US could keep a lid on 200 deaths and saying it’s six. Not for more than a week or so. People’s families are going to wonder where their loved ones are. Hospital workers, morgue workers, life insurance companies, flight crews, people are going to talk, and share pictures.
