Ones Ready Ops Brief 020: Daily Drop - 2 April 2025 (Space Wars, Fentanyl, & Gmail Diplomacy)
On this episode of the Ones Ready Daily Drop, Peaches dives into the swirling madness of global defense headlines and calls out the bureaucratic circus behind the scenes.
From satellite refueling ops and simulated dogfights in space, to fentanyl diplomacy and generals crying over spectrum auctions, it’s all here. Plus, the Air Force is giving away F-15s and leaving Indo-PACOM hanging until 2026. Oh, and U.S. government officials are still using Gmail for “sensitive” talks. What year is it?
Meanwhile, Canada is mad about F-35s, the Philippines just got a $5.6B fighter jet hookup, and some dudes in Congress want to go full cartel-hunting mode with airstrikes.
Just another Tuesday. Buckle up.
