The year of fear continues.... Now news of a Russian breakthrough related to space....

This shit is so fucking predictable.

An aid package is passed by turncoat Republican Senators, the House Republicans are trying to stand their ground against an onslaught of War Chicken Republicans, Democrats, Europeans and Ukrainian freaks and out of nowhere we get news that the Russians have made some kind of breakthrough that will tilt the balance?

I'm not buying it.

The only way these anti-American fucks have to pass idiotic bills that make no sense is to scare the American people.  Mark my words.  The next thing you will hear is that the aid package to Ukraine is essential to OUR national security because of this new threat.

The most fucked up part is that it'll work on all the pussified Americans that actually believe every piece of psyops the govt throws their way.

Sidenote.  We have the X-37.  Who in their right mind would think that the Russians, Chinese, Germans, French, Turks, and every other advanced nation wouldn't try and match that capability if not surpass it?  Isn't this the "Competition" that the Pentagon has been talking about?

The year of fear continues...
 

🚨🇺🇸NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT: RUSSIA HAS MADE A BREAKTHROUGH RELATED TO SPACE

It has to do with an emerging capability from Russia that would be of grave seriousness potentially but that the threat is… https://t.co/tbSw7vLQzZ pic.twitter.com/WRsZXqW9dg

Why does the US Army suck so bad at telling its story?

13 FEBRUARY 1951 – BATTLE OF CHIPYONG-NI BEGINS

The Battle of Chipyong-Ni (13 – 15 FEB 1951) was a heroic U.S. Army defense of an isolated perimeter which stopped the advance of the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army for the first time since it entered the conflict in NOV 1950. pic.twitter.com/DGcFLABtK9

This battle would be repeated during PT and running the obstacle course in boot camp if it was the Marines. In the Army? Ya got to dig that stuff out for yourself. The US Army has a great story to tell but they suck so bad at doing it. I wonder why?

As Commander Salamander (you really should check out his blog) would say...this is FULL BORE!

John R. Fox was part of the 92nd Infantry Division, known as the Buffalo Soldiers, a segregated African American division. He was a forward observer of the 598th Artillery Battalion, supporting the 366th Infantry Regiment of the division. This division was one of the first… pic.twitter.com/INJSNhP3F9

For the freaks out there (nazis, kkk'ers..etc..) that will scream oh he posted it because its black history month. Naw. I posted it because I just saw this and since we're in a winter of boring ass military news and LEO news is a bit frustrating I hit this up. Full disclosure. I'm all for banning all "months". Black, Hispanic, LBGT....fuck I'm to the point of just giving us numbered holidays to take all the idiocy out of the thing. Most folks just want the days off anyway.

Damn near brand new and can't fly...

 

Did the Marine Corps attitude of "we'll fix it once we get it" doom a few different air arms we're allied with?

Drones as snipers?

 

🇷🇺🇺🇦‼️🚨 FPV drones are scary, I say it again.

I wonder if he survived, if he hit the drone from above without triggering the explosive it is possible. Depends what trigger there is, where he hit and how it fell to the ground.

If he didn’t make it RIP. pic.twitter.com/D8b8dCc6V2

What is the cost benefit of using drones against individual infantrymen? I can't quite tell. Everyone is talking about drones being the new big bad but at what point does it not make sense in how they're being used. I'm really starting to glob onto the idea that the Ukrainian/Russian conflict is a one off. Maneuver warfare is non-existant. Air power in any credible form is not playing a part. ISR assets are apparently limited. Do you truly believe that a war between the US and China would play out this way? Do you truly believe that if China lost 250K troops it would stop or even begin to limit its offensive activity?

But back on task.

I ask this question.

Which makes more sense.  To utilize drones to take out individual infantrymen on the battlefield or to simply use a sniper platoon and have them properly dispersed to do the same job...while gathering intel on enemy units?

A $2.00 338 Lapua vs a $500 drone.

Even at this level I think a well trained sniper platoon is much more effective in a given sector than a drone operator platoon that is waiting for new munitions/drones after every kill.

I wonder what the difference is when doing a jump in the far north is from doing it in the desert or even southern locations. I bet even gym rats are dropping muscle so they're smaller if they're going out the side door way up there.

Something a little different. You can't beat Batman if he has prep time...

Applies to us too. Prep time is key for a specific target but training covers day to day. Just had my defensive tactics refresher and officer survival. I'm sore. Talk to ya'll tomorrow.

ACV pics. No explanation of how this fits in with FD2030 (no rebranding here)

No explanation or information on how the ACV fits into Force Design 2030 (they're trying to rebrand it to simply Force Design but I ain't buying it...you had a self imposed deadline and many assumptions you made have already failed the test of battlefield evolution). Hell we don't have info on how the "new" MEU will look. I call it new because the Ground Combat Element has been eviscerated without hope of reconstitution so these "wonder boys" that sucked the former commandant's dick have fucked the Corps for at least 10 years. The only hope is that they won't be called on to fight anywhere, much less the Pacific. If the heavier 82nd Airborne can't do rapid deployment then the nation might be fucked...especially if our ACTUAL interests are at stake. Meanwhile enjoy pics of the wheeled ACV that is less capable than the AAV (a modernized new build AAV was what we needed) but in keeping with the thinking of transformationalist its new, its different and its the "trend". Who cares if its less effective.

Whoever conscripted this guy and sent him to the front needs to rot in prison and then in hell. This is fucking disgusting. I PRAY he has a guardian angel beside him and that God has mercy.

Zelensky just doomed Ukraine....Zaluzhny is out, the ‘butcher’ is in

 Good God!  I didn't think things could get worse for Ukraine but with this appointment they just did.  READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE but when you have a commander this unpopular and KNOWN for wasting the lives of his men then nothing good can happen.  Just a few snippets from POLITICO but make sure to read the entire article (HERE !!!)

“Very bad decision,” a Ukrainian military captain told NatSec Daily. The captain, like others, was granted anonymity to avoid retaliation or to provide their unvarnished opinion.

Another person knowledgeable of Syrskyi’s operations echoed that view. His appointment is unlikely to have a positive effect for Ukraine, as Syrskyi is seen by those on the frontlines as a stern Soviet-style general who callously puts his men in danger.

This person added that Ukrainian troops have given Syrskyi a gruesome nickname: “Butcher.” The captain confirmed that the nickname has stuck, as has “General200” — which stands for 200 dead on the battlefield.

The negative reviews keep pouring in: “General Syrski’s leadership is bankrupt, his presence or orders coming from his name are demoralizing, and he undermines trust in the command in general,” a Ukrainian military officer posted on X. “His relentless pursuit of tactical gains constantly depletes our valuable human resources, resulting in tactical advances such as capturing tree lines or small villages, with no operational goals in mind.”

Read it all (yeah I'm repeating myself) and pray for those guys. They're being led by the devil himself and he wants to fill hell with fresh souls. 

I'm convinced that Zelensky is a fool and he just doomed Ukraine.

One Ukrainian soldier summed things up nicely (but sadly).

A Ukrainian soldier also tweeted a message in a group chat of veterans of the Bakhmut fight: “We’re all fucked.”

25th ID continues its message of being an amphibious assault force....

Nature abhors a vaccum. If the USMC is hanging its hat on being recon-counter recon, then the US Army in general and the 25th ID in particular WILL pick up the amphibious assault mission.

The Division had been a vital part of seizing the island together with our joint partners and in those efforts earned the nickname we still proudly use "Tropic Lightning."#TropicLightning | #StrikeHard | #AmericasPacificDivision

God bless these guys. If I recall correctly they were flying to California in the middle of a savage rain event with high winds etc... So many questions. Don't they have weather guys to let them know about storms and such? If so why would they still launch? Three officers and two enlisted dead. An airplane gone. Those are precious assets that should not be wasted just to complete a training evolution on time. Even worse? Our guys are in Norway for another exercise. The same area where we lost a MV-22 last year. If weather is an additional enemy then we just have to take the L. You can call something all weather all you want but mother nature wins that fight. No need to even engage it outside of real deal war. If you say its a must to train for the battlefield then I say ok but within limits. Risk for training is an unnecessary risk.

Doing a simple interview with a world leader now gets you called a traitor?

 

NEW - Boris Johnson calls Tucker Carlson "a traitor" for Vladimir Putin interview — The Hill

— Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) February 9, 2024

We are living in dangerous times. When leaders and former leaders (that participate behind closed doors) start labeling people traitors for doing a simple interview with a world leader then we know they want total control of information. When supposedly the freeist nation on the planet monitors a portion of its population using the banking system then they want total control (oh and its illegal as fuck). They must really be frightened. The ability to control the narrative is slipping away and they don't like it. Makes you wonder how much evil was going on before we had the ability to get info via the internet that they couldn't control. Walter Cronkite was an icon. But I have to wonder if he wasn't just the preferred mouth piece of the elite.
