Our State Dept needs to confront this messaging. China is painting the US as a destructive force on the international stage...basically calling us warmongers...

Forget the truth. Forget perspectives. The US State Dept needs to confront this messaging with a quickness. If this takes hold then the "global order" that so many are fighting so hard to preserve will vanish in the blink of an eye. Forget the elites of foreign nations that we can pay off. If their public begins to believe that we're trouble then any good will is gone.

You ever wonder why some conservatives are fans of Putin? He culturally aligned with their values and is solidly behind them in the culture wars...

The below vid practically says it all. Putin's complaints are the complaints of many conservatives. Add into it the fact that some (myself included) see that the war in Ukraine could have easily been avoided and you have a weird mixture of disdain and support happening all at once.

This war is not popular among the US public

 

A quick ask to Berger, the SMMC & the rest of the FD2030 believers...

 This is a quick ask...damn near a beg to Berger, the SMMC & the rest of the FD2030 believers.

Take a fucking beat.

Clear your fucking heads.

EXPLAIN YOUR THINKING, YOUR PLANNING AND EXPLAIN THIS THING!

The messaging from day one has been pathetic.  The war cry from your side has been that this will keep the Marine Corps relevant. It appears to be a false promise bordering on an outright lie.

You guys have been so focused on pushing this thing thru that you failed to consider if your planning wouldn't be outrun by tech and current events.

You failed from the start to get buy in from the tribe and only focused on a few people inside your circle to reinforce the "rightness" of your thinking and have tried to silence all that spoke against you.

You mocked and ridiculed storied members of our Corps.  Not retired Senior Enlisted and Officers but Generals that are big time plank owners in this organization.

No one understands it and apparently you guys can't explain it.

Everyone on the outside looking in only see combat power fading rapidly, the Marine Corps being turned into WW2 Coast Watchers and at the same time the fiction that the Marine Corps will still be a crisis response force is being pushed down throats.

YOU HAVE GOT TO DO BETTER!

Explain it.  Not for our sake but for yours!

Does life every reach a point of mere existence? Is there a point where living no longer makes sense?

This is listed on Twitter under the page "Oddly Terrifying". Does this qualify? At this point is this Buddhist monk suffering instead of living? Has this reached a point where its now inhumane? I almost sense that he's become an oddity instead of living person. I just don't know. What do ya'll think?

Human rights groups are outraged but I'm convinced that actions like this are required to win the war on crime...

 

Concerted, focused, and whole of govt action to combat the crime issue is what is necessary.

Reconnaissance Marines load Utility Task Vehicles during GRC

Berger's Marine Corps is totally unrecognizable to what has come before and has thrown away the MAGTF. Tanks? Call on the Army. Heavy Breaching of field fortifications/obstacles? Call on the Army. Snipers? Call on the Army. Attack Helicopters to provide air support? Call on the Army. The New Marine Corps is a butched up recon outfit that is useless outside the Pacific and is available only in select other parts of the world. 

The idea that THIS MARINE CORPS will still act as a force in readiness is a pathetic JOKE! 

Quite honestly at this point it would be better to case the colors and give the Navy the Marine Corps funding to buy more destroyers, aircraft and other gear. The Army can provide landing troops. 

Berger's plan hasn't guaranteed the future of the Marine Corps, instead its an evolutionary dead end.

At least these RECON bubbas can find a new home in a Ranger Battalion.  I imagine the rest of the Marine Corps will be welcomed in one of the 3 remaining services.

Zelensky has lost his fucking mind. Not one cent more for his corrupt ass country. DEFINITELY not ONE American servicemember!

This is the craziest story out of Ukraine yet.

Our society has devolved. Get a gun. Train hard. Shoot first.

This happened in broad daylight.

In a major American city.

In full view of the public.

Yet somehow I believe a DA will release this monster on bail.

Get a gun.

Train hard.

If your spider senses tingle, if that little voice is yelling danger - danger - danger, then don't ignore it --- retreat if you can but if not SHOOT FIRST, SHOOT AIMED/WELL PLACED SHOTS (I'M A BIG FAN OF CHEST, PELVIC GIRDLE AND THEN HEAD) AND SHOOT LAST!

Sorry folks.  This one has me spun.  I've seen what I thought was some jacked up stuff but the new wave of things is getting me pissed and almost living in Red as soon as I leave the house. If this ain't societal breakdown then I don't know what is.  It has to be at least the first stage but the worst thing is that our so called leaders see what WE'RE seeing and are doing nothing.
