Now Putin is raging. No peace with Zelensky in office...

God knows I hate the swarmy little bastard but he's who we have to deal with. Push forward with the talks. If they fail, they fail and the war continues but the US MUST WITHDRAW FROM THIS QUAGMIRE!

Macron is Zelensky's puppet. France and the UK will start the next war in Ukraine and will beg for NATO cover. TIME TO LEAVE NATO!

Check out this thread on Zelensky & the peace talks. Dude really wants continued war

 

Did the dead missing soldiers die in a swamp?

U.S. Army soldiers from the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, Lithuanian Army and emergency services personnel discuss their plan during a challenging engineering task recovering U.S. Army M88 Hercules submerged under several meters of water in a swamp near a training area near Pabadre, Lithuania March 27, 2025.
I so hate this.

I know I know.  Inherently dangerous and all that jazz.  But to die because your vehicle ran into a swamp on what I consider a pretty damn useless deployment?

God bless their souls and their families.  So sad.  So pointless.

Canada is fucking around and will soon find out....the relationship they had with the US is over?

Trump derangement at its finest. A simple trade dispute is leading to this? Awesome. Good riddance and get the fuck out. Blame Canada? Naw bro. Fuck Canada.

Young animals (including humans) have no survival instincts. Wonder why?

Little girl knew enough to get away from the snake but not enough to properly evade it. Young animals, including humans, have no survival instincts. I wonder why? Seems like the creator would have built that into the biology in order for the young to get old.

I'm starting to believe the stories of MARSOC going away. They're doing more exercises with Force Recon & less with the rest of SOCOM

Have you been watching at least the PUBLISHED trend lines with MARSOC? They're doing more and more exercises with Force Recon and less with the rest of SOCOM. They're still training with other nation state forces but less with JSOC. Something is going on and I believe they're slow walking the demise of MARSOC like they did with TANKS.

Why can't we have nice things. For the price of the CH-53K we could have bought the MH-47G Block II (1.5 according to what I've seen online) and have a true penetration helo

Oshkosh Defense unveils new variant of Marine remote fires vehicle

I wonder why it had to be an unmanned vehicle? Extend the wheel base, leave the cab and drive the damn thing. This was a reach for high tech that was unnecessary. If anything make it where it could be left alone and still launch missiles remotely...which would have meant to simply put it on a trailer, but I guess all that's too simple.

4 U.S. Army soldiers killed during exercise in Lithuania near border with Belarus, NATO chief says

 via CBS News

Four U.S. Army soldiers were killed during a training exercise in Lithuania, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said Wednesday, speaking with reporters in Poland. The U.S. embassy in Vilnius said earlier in a statement posted on social media that the four soldiers had gone missing during training, and it thanked the Baltic nation's military and police for helping American forces search for them. 


A U.S. official would say only that the four soldiers were involved in a training accident.

I respect the dead.

Honor their sacrifice.

Wish the best for their friends and family.

BUT I have to wonder if they were part of the undercover US mission in Ukraine.

US Army Special Operations says "all warfare is irregular"...

Interesting. SOCOM became the main effort, were lavishly supported and somehow forgot that special ops forces are vulnerable to conventional forces. Regardless they're pushing themselves into peer conflict and seemingly won't be denied. I hope they have someone at the helm that will ensure that they don't take on suicide missions. Small wars are never ending and if they stay in their lane I'm sure they'll have more than enough work to do without trying to find a slot in the big fight between the USA & China.

Hyundai invests in America & particularly Louisiana...

Not much in the grand scheme of things but we'll take it and smile...baby steps turn into big leaps. Thanks Trump.
