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...At sunrise this morning a swarm of 40 quadcopters all equipped with cameras, MILES, and lethal munition capable launched in advance of 11th ACR’s attack on a prepared defense by 1AD. Drones will be as important in the first battle of the next war as artillery is today. pic.twitter.com/zPQ2I8SoqN

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!

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.🇺🇦🇷🇺🚨| Additional images of the Kharkov thermal power plant infrastructure hit by Russian missiles

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.When will we realize what we’ve known for years: a very small percentage of the population commits the majority of the crime; the vast majority of which cannot be “rehabilitated”…we deserve the violent society we’ve created by ignoring lessons of the past. pic.twitter.com/Tf9PC3Vuup

Sep 11. I remember but we're making the same mistakes...
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.Just 54 billion and stripped our war stocks. Totally cool bro. https://t.co/rnknH13GYj

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?
