Wasn't too interested in this story but the killing of the former New Zealand special ops guy & this statement has me wondering...

It seems like M23 fighters are nolonger taking Western mercenaries as prisoners in Eastern DRC conflict. The DRC hired mercenaries known as Blackwater headed by American former US Nevy SEAL, Erik Prince are right now dying like insects. https://t.co/zmuMvqzHbn

What does this guy know that we don't? He's giving the impression that the former New Zealand Special Ops guy was captured and then killed by the rebels. If that's true then its a whole new story. Another thing that has me spinning is that an undercover full effort is happening in Africa right now. Don't believe that all we have operating there is Erik Prince's boys. SOCOM is running ops all over the continent. France is going whole hog there too. Not sure but the Danes also have interests there and might be running ops. The Middle East is the attention grabber but things are brewing on the African continent.

The UK has fallen. Should they still consider themselves as having a "special" relationship?

The Pentagon has pulled all B-1B bombers from RAF Fairford after suspicious activity and fresh Iran-related security concerns, sending at least a dozen aircraft back to the U.S. https://t.co/qzWXtMx89m

Can you imagine this happening 20 years ago? How about 10? The UK has fallen. I won't go into why I think that is but you should be able to EASILY figure that out. But it goes deeper. Should we still involve them in intel sharing? Are they still reliable? Should we be looking at other locations for operations in the Middle East? My answer is that we MUST find alternatives and quickly. I'm thinking that there have to be other countries that can provide the same access with much greater security across the board...intel, force protection etc.. The days of UK being our rock and our special friend is over!

This dude is a fucking pro. He's a multimillionaire. Yet despite all that he's failing to take accountability and sounding like a whipped puppy at his press conference. A decade or two ago I'd be good with this but when NIL was open this fucking was demanding a prince's ransom, we bought into it and this is the result? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE YOU PATHETIC BUM.

Ukraine says fuck the world's oil problem...

🚨🇺🇦🇷🇺‼️ Ukraine will not unilaterally halt strikes on Russian oil refineries, President Volodymyr Zelensky has made clear, insisting that any energy ceasefire must involve reciprocal commitments from Moscow. Zelensky said Ukraine would be prepared to suspend attacks on Russian refineries if Russia stopped targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure. He emphasized that any meaningful de-escalation must be mutual and backed by credible guarantees, rather than requiring Ukraine alone to stop its operations. 🔥 Kyiv’s position draws a clear line in the debate over an energy ceasefire. Ukraine is signaling that it remains open to reducing attacks on energy facilities, but will not surrender its ability to pressure Russia while Ukrainian infrastructure continues to face strikes.

This is so fucking humorous to me. Zelensky is HURTING his biggest advocates and doesn't seem to care. It's not hurting now but wait till winter hits hard and all those zealots in Europe and the US that view Russia as the devil start paying OUTRAGEOUS prices for heating and see what they have to say then. I personally can't wait.

Lane I'm trying to be patient dude but what the fuck! That defense was pathetic. First play for them is a fucking 70 plus yard run? The defense is leaking like a shack in a hurricane? Leavitt back to playing hero ball? Get your house in order bro. Losses to Ole Miss and now Kentucky? Still have to deal with Alabama, Texas and a OU team that is showing signs of life? We're FUCKING LAST PLACE in the SEC??? DUDE!

The Russia/Ukraine War and the diesel fuel problem...

Right on schedule: Zelensky is now the scapegoat for diesel inflation a month before the midterms. "He wants to make problems for our farmers, our ranchers with diesel fuel because Russia supplies a large portion of the diesel fuel throughout the world. And we told them ‘Do whatever you want, but don’t hit the diesel fuel, because this is a big problem, a big shortage’. And what does he do? He goes and hits the diesel fuel." And from last night...

Quite honestly this was bound to happen.

Even I saw this coming and that's saying something.  Fact.  The US did plea with Zelensky to stop hitting Russian refineries.  Fact.  This issue isn't just hitting the US but also Europe and Asia.

Apparently Zelensky didn't give a fuck.

He kept hitting the facilities and that has put ever consumer on the planet behind an eight ball.  Whether the nature worshippers like it or not but our economy is built on oil and probably will be for the foreseeable future.

By targeting Russia's oil they have essentially targeted their supporters.

Supporters of Ukraine are gonna have a hard time squaring this circle when the facts are carefully debated.

This is happening at a critical time too.  Winter is coming and you can bet big money that Puting is getting ready to make a serious run at Ukraine's power facilities.  

Ukraine is entering a season where it will be extremely vulnerable while alienating at least one of its biggest supporters (not even gonna touch on how badly Zelensky handled the Korean POW situation).

The supported is acting as if they're the lead.  They're not.  Zelensky will realize this shortly.

Okinawa police arrest US Marine on suspicion of killing Japanese woman at hotel

🚨BREAKING: U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Devin Jacob Ballard, 20, was just arrested in Okinawa, Japan, on suspicion of robbing and murdering 39-year-old Anna Yagi in a hotel. Police are saying that surveillance footage show him entering the hotel with Anna and later leaving alone. He has denied the allegations. Japan has formally protested to the U.S., and American officials say they are cooperating with the investigation. This is horrific. Praying for her family. 🙏🏻

— Bethany O’Leary 🇺🇸 🦅 (@BethanyForTruth) October 4, 2026

This is horrific. My heart goes out to the victim and I hope justice is done regardless. But confession time. I heard that a Marine was involved in some grisly shit yesterday but there were no details. Here is the confession. I prayed "oh God please let him be white". Yes. I am fucked up. Sorry.

GWOT Vets. Is this true....

 

Not posting about the outbreak in Russia

 Wait.  Ignore the headline because I guess I am.

A few things....

*  Its in Siberia.  Want to talk about the boondocks!

*  Its not a virus.  Its not easily spread.

*  The Russians are following all approved countermeasures.

Honestly this would be a non-story if that one lady had reported that she broke a vial or whatever and went into isolation but she didn't.  She went home, got sick as a dog and went to the hospital.

That's why its broken containment from the lab.  

Additionally according to Google AI this is not lab grown but found in the wild.  Its not a designer type thing.  Standard antibiotics will kill it.

Long story short?

Its sensationalized but I really don't think this is gonna be a big deal.

Want to worry?

How about the ebola outbreak happening right now that is spreading in Africa and no one is talking about it.

Another fuck up by a Marine in Okinawa...

We are actively cooperating with Japanese authorities, in response to allegations of serious criminal actions by a Marine assigned to the III Marine Expeditionary Force. We extend our deepest condolences to the victim’s family and friends.

An interesting tweet on the Boeing win for the Navy's fighter contract. Make sure to read the entire thing...

The USN choosing Boeing FA-XX means a lot more than just Boeing is making the Navy's new fighter. Its an open window into the military's plans for the future. It's also a a giant F.U. to Lockheed that has managed to completely piss off the US. You don't bite the hand that feeds you and that is exactly what LM has been doing. You see, they have been ripping off the US taxpayer for years. They knew they designed the only 5th gen fighter the US has, they had a monopoly, the US was trapped. They refused to hand over the data rights to it so they could cash in. Profits over US NatSec. The US military has been trapped. We've been forced to pay up. F35 upgrades are many years late & always way over budget. Right now LM is delivering F35's without a radar! But the US has no choice but to pay up to LM. Its either that or we lose air dominance. USAF F47 was never supposed to replace F35, but the F22. It couldn't because it is too expensive. So LM thought they still had a monopoly & could still rip off the US taxpayers. Basically high stakes blackmail. Enter Boeing. Winning both the USAF and USN contracts means production will now go from 180 to almost a thousand purchased. BAAAM! The price of NGAD just dropped precipitously. This means LM will no longer have their monopoly. The USAF can now afford to buy more F47's. LM now has superior competition. They will no longer have a monopoly. US was supposed to purchase more than 1700 F35's. Nobody will admit it yet, but those numbers are going to drop. The US just gut punched LM. But there is one major question remaining. Can Boeing deliver? Because their past record says NO.

Germans witnessed horrific atrocities against Christians committed by Muslims during the Ottoman period

The Germans who witnessed the atrocities committed by Muslims against Christians during the Ottoman period in Greece wrote: "The murder of the men and the drowning of the women was still not enough for a Muslim Turk thirsting for Christian blood; the poor innocent children were also to be sacrificed. So he had the defenseless little ones seized and mercilessly hanged from a tree. Comfortably the monster smoked his pipe beneath them, had himself served with sherbet, and rejoiced in the cries of fear and the death agonies of the guiltless little ones, for they were, after all, only — Christian children" "Gräuelscenen aus Griechenland" "Atrocity scenes from Greece." From the 1820s by the Nuremberg publisher Friedrich Campe.

TAHR vehicle for German Special Operations...

Sidenote. The USMC had (once upon a time) searched high and low for a fast attack vehicle (don't even know if that's still a thing these days). Suffice it to say that they failed to find one although the G-Wagon attempted to fill the role for a bit. During the whole time of the search, no one could tell me what the criteria was for a fast attack vehicle! Just another mystery from the past I guess. I have no idea what this vehicle is supposed to do for German Special Ops and the only thing I'm sure of is that its air transportable by CH-47. Just by looking I imagine its more expensive than the Polaris and a bit bigger too. The Germans went a different way but I don't follow German bloggers/X users so I have no idea the what's and why's....
