1st Warsaw Armored Brigade @ Dragon 21...continuing to perfect the armored craft!
Note. Culturally armies tend to focus on certain skillsets. In the US my view is that the focus is on raiding and on expeditionary warfare...and that's across all services. The Brits are big on their light infantry. Probably with good reason. They're some of the best light fighters on the planet (S. African veterans would probably be pissed with that statement but I stand by it). The French are generalist. They're into a bit of everything and they're pretty good too. But the Poles. Those bubbas are all about armor. BIG TIME into armor. If you're an armor enthusiast then they're a go to when it comes to the subject.
Zaangażowanie w #Dragon21 nie maleje🔥

Is this our next pandemic (straight outta China...AGAIN). H10N3 Bird Flu
I can't even imagine what this country will look like if they try another draconian lockdown. Our way of life will change FOREVER and people will go nuts. The crazy thing? This might be the one where we NEED to go crazy but they shot that bullet already...God help us all if this thing is savage. If it is then it could actually start a war.JUST IN - China reports the first human case of bird flu strain #H10N3 in the world. Health authorities played down the outbreak, saying the case was a "sporadic" virus transmission (India Today)

Maybe not directly, but China will be an international pariah and its trade will collapse. A nation on the ropes is unpredictable and China would act like a feral animal before seeing its status decline.

Memorial Day Debate...Do we need the return of unrestricted warfare?
Sorry to bring this to your table on Memorial Day but I've been kicking this around in my brain cells while sipping on some Jack Daniel's Honey (good stuff you should check it out) on my day off (feel right this year) while nursing a kidney stone that had me puking my guts out yesterday.
What is the difference between WW1, WW2, to a certain extent the Korean War and every war since then?
The previous wars were all unrestricted. The civilian population (in the form of areas of production for the war effort) were attacked without a second thought.
Civilians were brutalized in ways that we can hardly imagine today.
The wars were horrific.
Populations ravaged.
Entire countries destroyed.
But they had conclusions. They altered the course of history because no one considered for a nano second the idea of winning hearts and minds.
It was all about killing people and breaking things.
In Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, CAR, N. Africa, Yemen etc...all you see is RESTRICTED warfare. Pin point strikes against military targets are the call. Populations are sometimes struck but that is by accident.
Those wars have dragged on.
They're inconclusive.
They're muddled messes.
Additionally the rise of the UN has brought into play the rise of the lawyer. If you think hesitation on the streets when it comes to law enforcement is a thing then consider the same happens on the battlefield...especially when it comes to fighting in built up areas (don't even wanna consider the issues fighting in a mega city.
Enough rambling.
I put it to you. The problem with our way of war is that its too non-commital. If we're going to win in the future then we should embrace the idea of unrestricted warfare. Quite honestly our enemies already are. Consider the damage done by the hack of a pipeline. People are already predicting the damage done if a power grid out west or on the east coast is taken down.
Our enemies are preparing to gut punch the US. We should be preparing to return the favor.
Los Angeles Sheriff's Dept has given up on keeping drugs out of it's jail..
Many would applaud the move of placing this inside the jail. I have to wonder why they aren't fighting to keep drugs out of there. Find the leaks and plug them. Idiots smoking this shit out of someone's jail pocket is beyond my comprehension but its gotta be confronted, not surrendered to.Two inmates suffering from overdoses at a Los Angeles jail have been saved by fellow inmates who came to rescue with naloxone. pic.twitter.com/wHUyfjIicW
