Original post from Katie Phang:
No worries people, the good news is Hegseth on Defense means it is the weakest departement ever. But shall we stop with the whole "NATO Act", it is clearly gone... Also a small detail, there is no need for a contingency plan because the US already has a large base and military in Greenland. But it fits with Hegseth's absolute stupidity.

'The US has, however, not found that Iran is on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapons or attempting to do so. In March, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said the US “continues to assess that Iran is not building nuclear weapons and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has not authorised the nuclear weapons programme he suspended in 2003”.'

As a Mass Effect aficionado It seems unfair to me that Shepard has a cabin full of cool ship models but I can't have any. Until now. Martin at printables.com posted an SR-1 3d model.
