Unintended consequences of NOT thinking....Russia Turns to China’s Yuan in Effort to Ditch the Dollar
Why is this a big deal now (especially when the article came out late Feb)?Russia Turns To China’s Yuan In Effort To Ditch The Dollar - WSJ https://t.co/sc4EmADmNK

Because its all coming clearly into view.
Think about it. The US bullies Saudi Arabia, makes talk about green energy in a timeframe that is insanely fast but makes clear that (thru policy) they're willing to hurt its own citizens to make it happen.
The sanctions against Russia don't need explanation but add to it the attempt to blame them for the pipeline explosion.
The rest of the BRIC nations I can't quite get a handle on...especially Brazil but I'm betting that a multi-polar world is more appealing to the current leadership than what we're seeing now.
A certain reader has talked about the Petro-Dollar long before I globbed onto it.
If this hits the way some are thinking then the Petro-Dollar is dead. The American economy is in a hurt locker and economic theory reverts to the base model its always been.
The only good in all this?
Globalization will die.

PLA Battalion commander Major Chen Honjun fatally injured(Later KIA) after confrontation with Indian Army troops in Galwan Valley
Indian troops have as strong or EVEN STRONGER martial tradition, they're bigger physically and to be quite honest, the idea of fighting with melee weapons fits perfectly with their culture/mentality.
They really need to go back to the drawing board on the idea that banning firearms will keep this from zooming out of control and work out some type of agreement or this will be a Vietnam 2.0 for them, except the Indians will be giving the terrible lesson to them.
If they can't do any of the above then they should think more like taking on horse cavalry from back in the day.
They need those long pikes to slow down the rush instead of absorbing body blows.
To the Major, rest in peace and to his family may his memory be a blessing.

Remember the "Sir who am I" article? That was the beginning of the purge!
via War On The Rocks
After identifying this comprehensive vision of what marines of the future will be and do, publish an authoritative strategy outlining this multi-layered identity with explicit prioritization and an implementation plan. Staff this amongst your general officers, senior executive service members, and key colonel-level combat developers, listen to their feedback, and assess their willingness to implement it. Then retire those who will refuse to say “aye aye, sir” and execute your vision. Our nation does not have the time for half-hearted incrementalism or the frozen middle. Please don’t put us through another Marine Corps Force 2025 where we tried to decide how we should organize, train, and equip without a clear identity. With the strategic guidance now available from our civilian leadership, which was not published in 2016 when Marine Corps Force 2025 began, a clear identity is now possible and represents a once-in-a-century chance to re-invent the Marine Corps.
Wow.
I didn't realize what I was reading way back then. This guy not only laid the groundwork for the rollout of FD2030 but he made the call to prayer.
This dude is an insurgent.
A true believer.
He will not be denied and he will stroll into the depths of hell to see this implemented.
I'm sure his faith has been rewarded and I'm sure he's been promoted.
The Chowder Society thinks they're up against a misguided concept.
They're wrong.
Those that support FD2030 are damn near religious zealots. They can't be reasoned with and the only way they will alter course is when they see the bodies being stuffed into bags.
The Marine Corps is fucked. A small group has decided to change it forever.
God help us all.

VMM-261 drops cargo in the desert
The caption on this reads how this will allow VMM-261 to operate globally. HQMC is really pushing the meme that although they've turned the entire Marine Corps into a recon/counter recon outfit with little to no offensive capability that somehow it will still be relevant worldwide? Amazing. It also points to the issue of the amphibious ships. How can you justify needing 21 San Antonio class sized ships when you will fill the well decks with everything BUT Marine Combat Vehicles? For once the Navy got it right. Then concept will last at best a decade before its tossed. What will be the next hotness? The realization that the USMC needs to be capable of seizing Chinese islands...both manmade and natural as a means to blind them to our fleets activities. IF!!!!!! If the Rangers don't beat us to that punch, along with the SEALs and even MARSOC.
