You think we're free? We only have the illusion of freedom! Check this out...

Yeah that's right boys and girls. The US Govt under the guise of national security is attempting to control our thoughts, opinions and even conversations.

A "what if" that will blow your mind...

 A reader of the blog (Gessler) put forward an intriguing idea.  A "what if" that is so mind blowing that it has to be discussed.

Spare me the usual "ain't gonna happen" that alot of people spout almost reflexively, and dig into the thinking behind it.

I think its kinda cool.  His comment in its entirety...

This is just to illustrate a wider possibility:

...just as a thought exercise: toward end of this decade, how likely do you guys think it is that Germany could decide to ditch NATO and get into an alliance with Russia & China? Russia for energy, China for market access. This would of course leave them with no security cover from NATO/US which means that if the future German leadership (in no small part influenced by the huge industrial concerns which have a lot to lose if cheap energy & the Chinese market is no longer available) decides in favour of such a geopolitical realignment, German re-armament would become an inevitability.

Looking at the recent pace of arms buildup by countries like Poland I can't help but think its not just Russia they are concerned about. I think the Polish already have an appreciation of the economic & geopolitical pressures that will befall Germany in the near future, and are preparing for a worst case scenario as to what the German leadership could decide to do in response to said pressures. I think the powers that be are already seeing the pieces on the chessboard have started to move.

By the way, Poland has recently officially demanded $1.3 trillion reparations from Germany for WW2.

Much ignored in the US, but Germany has been bullying its neighbors for at least a couple of decades and many (especially in the South) are more than a bit pissed.

Another issue is that the Poles are gearing up for a major land action.  It's the only thing that explains their massive buildup.

Another reader (forgot his name...sorry bro) speculated that we would see Ukraine fractured into many pieces with Poland controlling the area near their border (from what I've been told, many Ukrainians already work in their country) with Russia basically keeping what it has and the rest administrated by the EU/US.

That sounds about right to me.

Under those circumstances with markets dried up in the EU, friction with its most powerful rival (Poland) and everyone looking out for themselves is it outside the realm of possibilities for Germany to go its own way with regard to its economic interests?

Nations make demands that others must satisfy...

 

You think this will happen?

Can it happen without US participation?

Kinda interested in seeing how the European nations get it done. But that won't happen.  I'm sure it'll fall to Turkey to do the heavy lifting and you'll see a few token forces from the rest of the EU (assuming this is a European led operation).

K9A2 demonstrates all-terrain mobility in the U.K.

Note. Not many are talking about it but when we see more and more suicide drones (loitering munitions) will we see the practical end of cannon artillery? Even self propelled gun like the K9 will be vulnerable. Just a thought so we'll see, but If the cost is right and we're seeing one loitering munition knocking out mobile guns and their crews then the cost - risk equation will swing heavily toward loitering munitions. Just a thought, but if its correct then gun bunnies will give way to an all missile force (with the same vulnerabilities but probably further away from the lines..). The more I think about it the more I think we're headed toward robot forces. The battlefield of the future will just be too lethal for humans...wouldn't that be a kick in the ass...the only servicemembers in the future will be techs maintaining robots.

Is this even real? US SOF conducting a parachute jump while carrying an M240L and two cans of ammo.

Do they actually jump that heavy? Insane! Oh and that's FOUR CANS of ammo in addition to the 240!

Let's talk about it. Where are we at with the Ukraine/Russia/NATO/US war?

 I've been helter skelter on the blog but its time to talk about it again.

Where are we at with the Ukraine/Russia/NATO/US war?

Yeah.  I named the parties correctly.  If you believe that Ukraine alone would have handled Russia then you're smoking crack (despite the inexplicable tactical decision made).

So where are we?

Not at a good place.  Russia just canceled the agreement that had grain shipments heading out of Ukraine.  What does that mean?

That means 2023 is gonna suck worse for the developing world than 2022 did.  We only delayed the hunger crisis.  Its back on full force now.  I also expect Russia to start targeting those grain silos and ships heading out of Odessa.

Which means we're heading toward another shatterpoint.

Will NATO start escorting grain?  What will Turkey do?

This thing is gonna get sticky just on the economic front much less militarily.

But forget all that.  What do you guys think?
