We need help standing up TOGETHER against this Vought takeover. This means academic and biotech/pharma scientists AND institutions. We CANNOT do this alone. There is already too much political interference in science from this regime.

I think this is an accurate assessment - at least somewhere around this number. The problem isn’t rebuilding the bases, it’s force protection. Iran knows what works, now they’re reconstituting their capabilities during the lull in fighting. Emboldening them was a grave mistake
