The war is lost for Kyiv.

 via National Interest

It doesn’t matter how many long-range missiles we give to Ukraine. Those alone will not change any dynamic on the battlefield—any more than the previous entry of Western tanks, armored personnel carriers, artillery pieces, air defense weapons, HIMARS systems, or even the vaunted F16s. The war is lost for Kyiv.

-------

It is unclear why, this late in the war and in the eleventh hour of his presidency, Biden chose to take action that carries a significant war escalation risk. That this decision represents a serious and unnecessary danger to the United States—while simultaneously raising the chances of a Ukrainian defeat—is very clear.

It is clear to those willing to see through the lens of reality. There are those in America that, on the surface, appear to have great credentials and have hailed Biden’s decision to allow the ATACMS missiles to be used by Ukraine to attack targets deep in Russia. Former generals Jack Keane, Barry McCaffrey, and Wesley Clark all came out in support of the president’s decision.  Keane actually complained that there were still too many restrictions on the use of the missiles.

These “war-first” generals have given disastrous advice on television throughout this war. Recall that in September 2023, when the Ukrainian summer offensive had been exposed as a total failure, David Petraeus declared that Ukraine could still cause the Russian defenses to “crumble.” Yet, as I had written months before the offensive began, the fundamentals of war demonstrated that Ukraine had virtually no chance of success. How could a former four-star general not understand those fundamentals and—even months after failure was plainly evident—still claim the Russians would collapse?

TLDR?

We are a nation led by the weak and have sheep leading our lions.

An almost religious (in their beliefs) cabal of zealots that believe in perpetual war at the detriment of the nation they supposedly served have failed us over and over and over again.

A purge of the generals is not only overdue but its necessary for the survival of the republic.

As far as Zelensky is concerned?

We need not concern ourselves.  The Mothers, Sisters, Wives and Daughters of Ukraine will deal with him in due time.  I don't think there is a hole deep enough to spare him from their wrath.

Even taking a piss can get you killed in modern combat...

So much for whipping it out and doing your business. I for one never knew that taking a piss could give away your position or at least give the enemy a clue where to look. Fucking amazing.

My God! Is the Marine Corps actually practicing 1940's style beach defense???

Jesus! I hope to God this was just a fluff piece made for video. Artillery on the beach shooting out over the water? If the Chinese come I bet they wouldn't even waste their Marines trying to seize anything. A few of their ships would simply fire from over the horizon and destroy everything there! They won't have enough NMESIS around to help either. One or two shots maxed and they're located and destroyed. Force Design is batshit crazy. I can't believe USMC leadership is so bought into this concept.

First confirmed destroyed Merkava Mk4 in Gaza, the newest Mk4 "Barak" variant.

You make an IED large enough and nothing can survive. Mk4 is the IDF's newest variant. The most sophisticated they have. If they can kill this beast then anything on the battlefield will die. I'm just surprised the driver survived. I'd love to know why (meaning divine intervention or some design feature). Anyway you would think that the air forces around the world would have solved the problem of dud bombs. How many times have we seen our own weaponry used against us. No I'm not talking about rifles taken from the fallen in close combat but large ordnance that can really cause pain (don't be a dick you know what I mean).
First confirmed destroyed Merkava Mk4 in Gaza, the newest Mk4 "Barak" variant. It ran over a massive IED, likely a dud MK-80 series bomb (250-2000 lbs). The driver survived with minor burns to his neck, the rest of the crew (in the turret) died

The US is reasserting its power with the incoming administration...

Note. Readers sent me these tidbits a week ago but I'm just rolling around to it now. Amazing what happens when you have strong leadership heading to the White House isn't it?

If you train heavy (your version of heavy), then either use a Smith Machine or ask someone to spot ya...

The newly created DOGE bothers me...

 


Ok.  Trump is off to a helluva start with his appointments but this DOGE bothers me.

So to make the govt more efficient we're creating ANOTHER DEPT????

It's gonna have two leaders????

That alone makes it sound inefficient.  Additionally the govt is a self licking ice cream cone.  You build it today and it'll become a monster tomorrow.

Next?  Trump should have gotten involved in the Senate Majority vote and stated that Scott was his pick.  Then it would be Republicans choosing between defying the leader of the party, America and a majority of Americans or supporting the bureaucracy in the form of Sen Thune.

The old bastard McConnell pulled a fast one and the Senate I predict will be a road block to the Trump agenda but the excuse will be to protect the Senate (although the Dems have no problem playing fast and loose with the rules).

From my chair those are the two early mistakes.  

If you disagree then tell me where I'm wrong.
