The Chinese are using their robot dogs as part of squad attacks in urban territory. Meanwhile we're focused on robotic mules & tank replacements. Our infantry is gonna be in trouble

Tell me watching this short vid doesn't chill your bones a bit. Even worse? We don't have anything close to equivalent. We're focusing on robotic mules as an infantry aid. They're focusing on robotic dogs that can act as point me in urban and I imagine jungle terrain. The previous video showed swarming attacks but give every Chinese squad one of the robot dogs and unless we kill it at distance we're in for a rough ride.

Keep hearing about peace talks but the buildup of ground forces continues...supposedly will be complete next week

 

Hmmm.

So the second MEU should be arriving any day now.  The 82nd Division Ready Brigade (do they still call it that) can arrive in 18hrs...probably less since the warning order has already been issued and they're primed to go.

SOCOM is probably already doing their thing or itching to do so which means that they're making this an all light infantry affair (well sorta light infantry....the 82nd once they do their complete mobilization will have more ground combat power than an equivalent Marine Unit).

Since this is gonna be all light fighters I have to wonder why the 101st wasn't deployed.  They have the greatest mobility of any Army division.  Tactically extremely mobile.  Strategically not so much.  They're hard to move (they really need to lobby for a fast transport ship to move their helicopters).

My thinking?

Raids to get the uranium.

Assaults to take a couple of islands.

Once that's completed victory will be declared, Iran will be left to rebuild and we'll go into the mode of conducting punitive strikes against any leader/scientist that poses a threat.

Yeah they got an E-3

Reports have been flooding in but I had to see it with my own eyes to believe it. They nailed one. They got an E-3. Possibly one of our most important assets considering the missile threat we're seeing. On this one I pat myself on the back. I always thought that stationing our people in gear in theater at static bases was a foolish idea. I considered it the same as the Romans stationing their legions in foreign lands in an attempt to keep the barbarians at bay. For ground forces I always thought it would lead to Ft Apache type situations across a large area. What I don't understand is if we can station B-2s, B-1s, and B-52s in Europe then why can't we set up an air bridge so that we can protect our Refuelers and AWACS. Drones don't worry me. They're the modern IED. We can handle drones if we get serious. It's the ballistic missiles that are the big bad.

The first MEU has arrived in CENTCOM's area of responsibility. Once the second hits we have a MEB(-)!

Another claim that US Special Forces are operating inside Iran

Interesting. I've seen more vids of Iranian insurgents increasing attacks against their local forces, and I did assume that Special Forces was on the ground leading and organizing them. It is after all one of their primary skill sets. But to see them going after launch sites? Talk about a blast to the past of the 1st Iraqi war! Then again I'm taking this at face value and assuming they're talking about Green Berets/Special Forces and not SOCOM in general. Going after launch sites seems more like a Ranger or maybe MARSOC mission set to me. Who knows? This shit might not even be real but another person pulling it out their ass.

The world is weird and most don't question anything! Woman sneaks cat on plane by pretending its a hat...

This goes to show how wild and weird the world is. It shows how people don't question ANY DAMN THING anymore. This woman put her cat on her head and no one said a thing. Security didn't even object. People look for the big stuff to show we're in decline. Naw bro. Its the little shit that shows we're on a highway to hell.

CENTCOM is smashing Iranian speedboats

 

Preps for an amphibious assault OR action to protect our fleet. Either way those speedboats are getting hammered.

3-star heading up Marine Reserves sent out a rather ominous message

 

Ok. I know that messages like this are a way for the "stars" to get the notice of whoever is leading the DoD. A few brownie points from the Commandant. Alot of times its pure theater.

Sometimes its not.

Sometimes its a soft preparatory message to start getting your shit together cause its about to hit.

Wonder what frame this sits in.

Everyone is so focused on peer vs peer conflict that we forget that we were in a cold war for decades and never fought the USSR straight up...only thru proxies

The A-10 is a victim of universal stupidity sponsored by the "smartest guys in the room".

WTF do I mean?

People don't remember history, not even our military professionals it seems. Does no one remember the cold war?  Does no one remember that we were involved in that "war" for decades and never crossed swords with the USSR?

Fast forward to today.

The big bad is China (I don't dispute that) and the Marine Corps in particular but the entire DOD (can't go with the rebranding to Dept Of War....why does everything have to get relabeled) is twisting itself into a pretzel over that potential fight (the weird thing is that I'm getting the impression that some WANT that fight).

Meanwhile we have the shit in Iran and before that the deal in Venezuela and the next one will probably be another spot we're not expecting (Iran popped up overnight and so will the next).

So what does this tell me?

Just like with the USSR get ready for the big fight.  But understand that the "little" fights will be more likely and gear up appropriately.

Which brings me back to the A-10.  Perfect for what we're doing and will probably be doing into the near future.  UPGRADE THE TOUGH FUCKER!  Don't retire it!

Are we seeing a coordinated effort to raise fuel prices? Ukraine attacks Russian refineries...

 Thanks to Dov Sar for the link!

via Reuters

At least 40% of Russia's oil export capacity is at a halt following Ukrainian drone attacks, a disputed ​attack on a major pipeline and the seizure of tankers, according to Reuters calculations based ‌on market data.

The shutdown is the most severe oil supply disruption in the modern history of Russia, the world's second largest oil exporter, and has hit Moscow just as oil prices exceeded $100 a barrel due to the Iran war.

Here 

Weird.

Oil prices are under strain and are trying to leap thru the roof.  Meanwhile Ukraine takes this moment in time to hurt the consumers of their allies by putting a stranglehold on what is available by attacking Russian oil production?

They're not even hitting us Americans the worst though.

They're hitting their own cheerleaders in the EU the most.

I read reports that the EU countries were considering buying Russian oil to help their citizens weather the storm.  Hell some are already proposing subsidizes to help people in their homes.

So why now?  

So many targets to hit why hit oil facilities?

82nd to the Middle East. Don't know if this is to seize land or to back up a raid from hell to take the enriched uranium.

The 82nd enters the picture. Are they gonna act as part of a SOCOM raid to seize the enriched uranium? I kinda think so. The entire Ranger Regiment backing up Delta won't be enough. God knows the Iranians are watching every news report and have reinforced the site(s). Seize land? If its just islands I think the Marine Expeditionary Brigade (-) composed of the MEUs should be able to handle that. Just don't know. What ya'll thinking.

How come everytime there is an oil shock a refinery burns?

The 31st MEU must have been moving at flank speed. They're due to arrive in region on Friday

That was fast. Something tells me the listed top speed of 20 knots for amphibs might have been a "deception". One other thing. MEU's are composed of 3 ships. Where is the LSD? They're old. Wonder if it was too slow to keep up?
