Isn't the Marine Corps either testing or buying this plane?The future of airpower — YFQ-42A. The collaborative combat aircraft is on a robust development schedule that began in August 2025 with initial flight operations, and in less than six months, GA-ASI has built and flown multiple #YFQ42A aircraft.

Did Trump just win?
Did Trump just win the fight with Iran?
If you ask the Israelis apparently not. If you ask people that think like me then hell yeah.
Why?
Because we punished the regime, got rid of their leadership (more on that later...I'm not sure decapitation strikes actually achieve anything but a more chaotic situation for US, not the enemy) and for at least a minute united the Arab world against Iran.
The Israeli position is that we had the chance to rid ourselves of a persistent enemy that supports terrorist organizations, that they WILL violate this treaty and even worse we're funding more of the same.
The wild card for the world?
Closed straits mean high oil prices. I hope everyone knows that we never ran SHORT of oil, its just the price of available oil was causing pain and inflation worldwide.
That was the threat to the US, the EU, and maybe even China.
What does the future hold?
I think that the Saudis and company are gonna build pipelines like crazy. I think that once those are completed we're gonna have Iran part 2 and then we're gonna see the US and Israel attempt to remove Iran from the board.

Amphibious Combat Vehicle splash...Video by Sgt. Jorge Borjas and Cpl. Channah Chilton + Bonus! French landing craft in background
Didn't even know the French had forces off the coast of N. Carolina. Is there an exercise going on?
The audio of that 1st Sgt over at ARFF getting on his Marines has leaked. Ain't looking good & the comments are pure fire...
The weird thing is that the line between tough leadership and abusive leadership is extremely thin. But let me add this. A review of command climate is well within the bounds and any leader should be able to withstand such an investigation.

Forced conscription. I don't know how to feel about it...
These type vids have been floating around for years now.🇺🇦 5 fresh cases of the ongoing forced mobilization in Ukraine

*In case #1, military recruiters started kicking a guy at the entrance of his own apartment...
*In case #5, they attacked a guy in the underground... pic.twitter.com/u2F4z8chtZ
I still don't know how to feel about it.
During Vietnam you had war protests. You had people actually hating US policy. But at the same time we still had a draft and the poor and middle classes still went to war for their country. The policy might have been jacked up but they still went when called.
Would it be the same way today?
I don't know.
Today we have a volunteer force. No conscription. Everyone that goes into the military does it because they want to.
But what if we were in a fight for the very existence of our country. What if every able bodied man was needed for that fight.
Would people still go?
I don't know. This is a different time with a population that has a different mindset.
I have those questions but the above vid still disturbs. Have you noticed something about these round-up gangs? They're in uniform but unmarked. No badges, no nametapes, nothing. They're having to assault these people to get them to comply. Additionally they (the majority) seem to be out of shape brutes that actually get off on this.
Is this something that is necessary? Maybe. Perhaps I'm being naive to think that there is another way.
Its still ugly though.
It makes me wonder if the guys that grab people ever get their time in the meatgrinder. Are they simply saved because of the job that they do? I think about the border guards on the borders of the EU. The firefighters and other first responders. YES THEY HAVE ESSENTIAL JOBS....but.....I'm off on a tangent.
I just don't know.
What do you guys think????

Now we're doing "kinetic strikes" in Venezuela...
I don't shed one tear for this dude. May he rot in hell. I have to wonder. Why did we move from bombing, or drone strike to "kinetic strikes". I hate the Pentagon and all this rebranding of shit.

Wow. Another "the Russians are coming" warning. This is getting old...
Why do they keep trying to drum up fear in the populace with this insanity? The Russians aren't gonna attack NATO. They aren't gonna do something so stupid to test NATO's collective defense. Lastly, the politicians/think tanks that are pushing this idiocy need an enema.❗️🇷🇺⚔️ Russia may soon attack a NATO member state in order to test the Alliance’s collective defense — according to a report by the Swedish Parliament’s Defense Committee. The report notes that the invasion could occur in the relatively short term.

I'm not bitchin or whining but this is why...
Hey ya'll. Posting has been light as hell cause I got nicked up and found out that I'm gonna have to get cut on (AGAIN!). Still moving and getting stuff done but its kinda wearing me out so at the end of the day I'm dragging bad. Gonna be like this for a little while longer (till probably mid July) till I get this fixed and get back to it so bear with me.
All that's hanging with me I appreciate it.
Is the UK a reliable ally to Europe muchless the US?
A resignation by a leader to save his organization? That was once the US Marines way, way back when...not so sure today but I'm off on a tangent. The UK's defense sec resigns because the budget for his organization is untenable.BREAKING: A top U.S. defence official responds to the resignation of the UK's defence secretary John Healey by urging the UK to strengthen its military with "urgency, scale and determination".https://t.co/AIES4992pj

Did you know that political leaders are promising a military brigade to go to Ukraine as a peacekeeping force once hostilities end?
Did you know that military leaders are cringing at the idea? That they're not sure that they can support such a deployment.
Are you aware of the state of the Royal Navy? How about the British Army? From what I've read only their Air Force is anywhere near fit to fight.
Does it surprise you that only British Special Ops would be considered combat capable from a US Army or Marine Corps view (yeah I'm imposing my view on them but you get it...their Army is in trouble).
This is painful to watch but the total decline of the UK seems inevitable now. I'm not talking about simply sliding into number two as far as militaries are concerned in Europe but all the way to the middle of the pack at best.
Want to know the nations that I would rate as being ahead of the UK at this time?
* France
* Germany
* Poland
* Italy
* Switzerland (small active duty with a HUGE in European terms of active/reserve conscripts)
Who are they now on par with? Spain and Greece with both in my estimation to be at least on par and probably a bit ahead at this time.
Just wow.
Impressive little one...
When I first saw the vid and saw her pre-lift shennanigans I was like WTF! Then I realized that her dad had taken the time to get her involved in the sport, probably by having her watch him workout and then by her WANTING to do it too and she was simply modeling his behavior before a heavy lift. So good on her and her dad. I consider this impressive by any standard. Well done.
