The USMC needs THIS!

Iran is sending Russia long range missiles and drones. Ukraine is about to get bombarded with 500kg warheads

Sutton says Russia will be mocked? I wonder if they aren't onto something. We can't ramp up fast enough in peacetime to backfill our inventory after donations to Ukraine. Europe is in the same pickle (with smaller stocks to be replenished). I wonder if it would make sense to tap into labor in India, Brazil etc...It would bolster their domestic defense industry and give us additional industrial capacity that we lack here at home.

China plans to seize Taiwan on ‘much faster timeline,’ Blinken says

 via Washington Post

“There has been a change in the approach from Beijing toward Taiwan in recent years,” Blinken told an event at Stanford University on Monday.

This includes “a fundamental decision that the status quo was no longer acceptable and that Beijing was determined to pursue reunification on a much faster timeline,” he said. Blinken did not provide details on the claim of a shorter timeline and said China may be willing to use coercive means, a prospect that is “creating tremendous tensions.”

Here 

We're not ready.

The Navy damn sure ain't ready.  The Army ain't ready. The Air Force ain't ready.

The Marine Corps?

For a naval battle, its getting ready.  To repel an assault by Chinese Marines, Soldiers, Special Ops?

They're gonna get rolled.

But once again, everyone is focused on Europe when the globe changing dynamic will occur in the Pacific.

The Pentagon was thinking they'd move after 2030. Is it moved up to before Biden leaves office?

I think it is.

Looking at this administration, their slow response to crisis and the lack of mental acuity by our President and I'm guessing they'll have Taiwan before the President can be awaken from his afternoon nap.
