NTC is about to wreck 1st Armored! They're sending out drone swarms to put them to the test...the USMC should get some of this training!

I almost feel sorry for the CO of that unit. They're about to get hammered, used as an example of what not to do and his fitrep will take a hit. If they classify the after action then the dude might as well retire. Just kidding but it won't be fun. Think I'm gonna follow NTC-6 and see what the outcome of this attack was...

Iran's Shahid Qassem Soleimani Corvette is an impressive looking ship...can't wait for more info

A hornet is powerful enough to kill a mouse?

Russians hit thermal power plant...

I hope the powers that be have an idea of what is going to be the "structure" of a post war Ukraine. It's gonna be a mess. It's still gonna be corrupt. They're still gonna be whining for aid. Lastly they're still gonna be begging the US for money (well Ukraine and the EU). This isn't a win. This is another fucking obligation for people we owe nothing to. Meanwhile we are a basket case, have sold off our strategic oil reserve, have sunken deeper in debt, have depleted our warstocks and have only gotten in return memes. I so fucking hate war cheerleaders.

Is the spike in crime part of a larger plan or just plain stupidity?

I personally think that the spike in crime is due to a few factors.

* The lockdowns pushed many mentally troubled people over the edge and they're acting out now that they're "re-socializing".

* The desire to express compassion to criminals resulted in extremely shortened sentences for some of the most dangerous people in our society.

* Despite all available evidence that these policies are NOT working, it seems that the powers that be continue to double down on them.

The worst thing?  The people that all this was supposed to help are the ones being most hurt by them.  I have yet to hear one politician from the left side of the isle speak out against them (wait ... the Mayor of New York made a feeble effort).

This is either a plan or stupidity.  Either way its troubling.

Sep 11. I remember but we're making the same mistakes...

I am so conflicted by this "day of remembrance".

America is fucked up on several levels.  I despise the elite, politicians, "influencers" and just the average joe blow that tries to become so sick and somber.

It was a tragedy.  We fucked up on every level imaginable. We went to war.  But we're still fucking up.

*  The border is wide open and no one is talking about the HUGE number of illegals crossing, but also IGNORING the number of threats to our security that are flowing across with them.

*  Everyone got jacked up and primed to act for the Afghanistan evacuation but we didn't vet the people coming and we brought over more than a few other threats to our security.

*  We went to war against Afghanistan and Iraq.  We ravaged both countries, both countries are basket cases and both countries will probably be fucked for several more generations (thereby generating EVEN MORE terror threats) but we left the Saudis alone and they're the home of all this bullshit and home to the ACTUAL terrorists that struck us.

*  We had a window of opportunity when the WHOLE FUCKING WORLD was ready to climb aboard a RESTRAINED and FOCUSED operation to kill terrorism world wide.  RUSSIA, SYRIA, IRAQ, CHINA, the EU, S.KOREA, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA and more were all aboard killing terrorist wherever we found them.

Bush Jr, Cheney and Rumsfeld pissed away the good will and led us into feckless, useless ass wars.

If they had made different choices the world would be different. They fucked up and fucked us all.

We witnessed this terror event and yet no heads rolled.  No one paid the price for their failure.  We do the solemn moment thing.  We lower our heads in prayer for the victims but when it comes to actually do some FUCKING WORK to make sure it doesn't happen again, everyone is sitting on their hands masturbating in sorrow.

So yeah blog.  I remember this day and it pisses me the fuck off.

You people might not like it but many Americans are questioning the aid to Ukraine...

A corrupt country. Sending billions of dollars of weapons with no accountability. Supporting their govt with copious amounts of aid (that is somehow not getting reported...who the fuck do you think is paying salaries of soldiers and bureaucrats over there?) and no end in sight.

Let me ask my fellow Americans one thing.

Have you noticed that the most fevered supporters of continuing support for Ukraine are almost always Europeans (read the comments here and then check the IP addresses)?  Additionally have you noticed its always for the US to do more, not for THEM to do more?

Make no mistake clowns.

The closer the Ukrainians (and probably the Poles...they want this fight!) get to the Russian border the more easily this thing could spin out of control.

One malfunctioning rocket (or ordered to attack a target by a Commanding Officer that goes batshit crazy) that flies into Russia and somehow hits a target that is of importance and you could be looking at WW3.

Ukraine - Russia War. Where are we now?

 Ukraine has launched its offensive and that makes sense. I've been wondering why the US has been giving them so much money lately...above and beyond simply resupplying their military, we're now subsidizing their govt.

So why now?

I think it all comes back to winter.

A few things are coming...

1.  The populations in Europe and the US will be enraged by high energy prices.  If you've been paying attention (at least in the US) you'll see that gas prices have come down.  Why?  Fewer people driving.

But the sick thing is that energy bills have been spiking!  I've experienced that myself!  But why?  Easy. You see gas prices everyday, you get that bill for your home energy bill just once a month.  

The average person rages for a few days and then daily life gets back in the way.  It's forgotten till (for far too many) money gets slim between paydays and when you go to the grocery store (high prices there too) you have to decide between your usual brand or a generic because of price.

2.  I think the allies are reaching their limit.  Limit as in weaponry they can contribute.  Remember this isn't wartime situation for the NATO countries.  They can retool but won't do it in such a way that wrecks budgets (except for Poland...those fuckers are damn near begging for a fight with Russia...they want it so bad they can taste it!).

A big push now or Ukraine will lose its support, not out of desire but out of ability.

The push to end the war in favorable terms for the Ukrainians is now.  If Russia can hang on till winter then Ukraine is doomed.

3.  Alot of talk about Russia buying weapons from N. Korea.  This shit is so simple I can't believe I have to explain it.  N. Korea is a middle man. China has started supply Russia.  Its covert.  Its deniable but it will be effective.

As far as buying drones from Iran?  Iranian drones have whacked the fuck outta US forces in Iraq and Syria.  They've made the Saudis shit the bed (in the hands of the Houthis they've been savaging Saudi installations).

Those are my thoughts on the situation.  What are yours?
