Forget his machine-gun. The silhouette from his pack would make him a primary target

I kinda follow this war primarily to try and see what the next thing might be. We've heard all about trench warfare being a thing (along with drones, rockets, etc...) but this points to a more footmobile infantry trying to increase its firepower. Don't know if this is the answer. Forget his weapon, the silhouette from his pack would make him a primary target. Interested in seeing if this push this out to the troops on the line.

Biden is losing voters of color in Michigan. IF Trump loses then its game over...

Black and Hispanic voters to lesser degree are seeing the writing on the wall. In Michigan you have a candidate that won and speaks Somali, not english. Black voters are an ultra minority among an immigrant population where they're hated to an even greater degree than the Klan ever did. If Biden is able to reverse the trend of black voters flocking to his banner then its game over. The Americans that are black will be in for a terrible ride. Not so much the current but future generations. Replacement theory is real, maybe we should have listened to those stating it, instead of automatically assuming that they were batshit crazy because they hate us.

Russia hit Ukraine hard

My Russian readers posted pics and even a vid on it. They even talked about how many were without power. It didn't register. This vid brought it home. Over a million people without power? This is the crazy thing to me. If Russia is in it to win it then why didn't they do this at the height of winter? Why wait till spring? Oh and spare me. The US went after power generation sites all over Iraq. It's dual use. You knock out power then you also hit the military. We've been doing this since WW2 with our strategic air campaign back then and it goes on today so don't call this a terror attack. Its the wages of war and the little guy always gets hit the hardest. Don't add new definitions to age old issues/tactics.

We just don't need a wall on the border, we need one between the US & California!

WTF is going on with people in California. Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Squatting. How big is the problem?

 

I'm seeing more and more tragic stories about squatters simply taking over homes and current laws providing no relief. Even that I find interesting because they're making crimminal trespass into a civil court issue which boggles my mind. Anyway I wonder how big this issue is. Outside of this new to me story from Georgia I'm not seeing much about it in the southern US. Is this nationwide or just a case of weird laws in liberal areas.

Monty Python nailed the "Royals" as a power perfectly

I bitched and moaned that Fox News spent about 2 hours talking about a princess having cancer, treatable cancer, on their news cast when we have so many other REAL, HARD news going on in the US and the world. I went on to say that its irrelevant and that I don't care just like no one but me and mine cared when my mother suffered from the disease. Just like no one cares about everyone of my readers that is dealing with their issues on the personal level with no fan fare.

But no.

A certain reader got all ass hurt.

Amazing.

I said it before and I'll say it again.  The British royals are simply a drain on the coffers of the British people.  They are ultra high class welfare recipients and its all dressed up because they were born into a certain family and/or are/have fucking a person born into the blood line.

Change my mind.

This is some impressive discipline being displayed by Russian Security Forces...I didn't believe the terrorist would be taken alive...

Supposedly one of the terrorists (I guess this one) had a piece of his ear cut off and fed to him. Still impressive discipline. I'm sure more than part of an ear was on the menu of the guy that nabbed him. Many are now in my camp. Many are thinking this wasn't ISIS. If this attack circles back to Ukraine. If one of the allies was involved. This will get messy as hell.

Nature really is brutal. Never saw warthogs attack a leopard

 

This vid is crazy. I'm trying to figure out why I'm not seeing ripped skin and blood flowing. Those hogs should be making short work of this leopard. Never seen that before but nature is brutal so it has to happen occasionally.

Ya'll keep talking about it so let's run with it. Why I believe the M10 Booker is the wrong vehicle for the needed USMC Infantry Support or Medium Tank...

Ok. Let's go on and have this talk.  Ya'll keep saying that the M10 is the perfect replacement for the Abrams for the USMC.  

I say it isn't.

Let me lay out my reasoning and then I look forward to hearing rebuttals in the comments.

1.  Force Design 2030 is a clusterfuck from hell but I accept that the Abrams was just too heavy.  But to take it a step further I believe that the USMC does NOT need a tank but a dedicated and effective Infantry Support Vehicle!

2.  The USMC ISV should have certain qualities.  The main one being able to swim from ship to shore IF needed.  I don't think the USMC will be able to conduct amphibious assaults for at least 20 years thanks to the damage done to the force but once that capability is rebuilt (assuming the Marine Corps is chosen and the Army doesn't pick up the role), the Assault Echelon will be a thing again.  Having a vehicle that can knock out bunkers/fortifications will be needed.  Oh and rest assured that drones will not find and kill them all.

3.  Money is an issue.  While I have doubts about the ACV, one thing good is happening.  We're seeing the number of vehicles in the GCE being necked down.  If we could somehow arrive at a common engine that would be awesome.  We won't so a similar engine along with drive trains etc across as much of the fleet as possible will drive down maintenance costs and possibly even training.  Taking the ACV and mounting a gun on it would accomplish this.  Even perhaps attempting the 105 on the ARV assuming its survives would be a step forward.

The main thing is that the Booker would be a step toward adopting an Army vehicle to a mission that the Marine Corps no longer performs.

How many times have you heard sustained ground combat talked about lately?  When was the last time you heard the USMC being able to flex up and down the spectrum of combat?  When was the last time you heard anyone mention that the MEU could conduct ops for 15 days unsustained, 30 days for the MEB and 45 for the  MEF?

The new Marine Corps isn't a ground combat force.  It's an auxiliary of the Navy.  Every clime or place no longer applies so to add the capabilities of the Booker is "old" thinking as the current crop of USMC Officer describe.  Even an ISV is probably old thinking.

A true combat force like the old Corps would definitely benefit from the Booker.  The new school Marine Corps is just a bunch of shore watchers and missile shooters.  They really don't even need the ACV is they're being honest.

This was not a successful interaction with a member of the public...

 

Kinda funny. I wonder what the backstory is. She said that they pointed ARs at her. Is she just crazy or is there a reason for this drama.

The science of sprinting....I wonder how this would apply to law enforcement and the military....

I luv the breakdown of the sprint they did in this video.

But then I wondered how would it break down for the military or law enforcement.

What would the perfect sprint from the back of an IFV, Helicopter or landing craft out to say 50m bet?

What would the perfect sprint from a seated position in a patrol car or if interviewing someone and they take off running on ya?

Back in the day the Brits were all over military performance.  I wonder if PTI's have studied this?

Its a shame but I don't even know if the USMC has the equivalent or even a military physical performance research section (you would think they would).

That might be one of the last frontiers when it comes to optimum performance in the trade of those that carry guns.

From my perspective you're really left to your own devices to try and optimize your physical performance.

Russia already caught one of the terrorists and ISIS takes responsibility for the attack?

Give the Russian security forces credit on this one. They caught this bubba quick. He's in for a terrible few days and will be lucky (relatively) to survive the night. Cooperate and die easy or don't and die ugly. Terrible choices when your words will doom your comrades...well since death is inevitable I guess there is only one option upon further reflection. Better an ugly death than betrayal. Although I have to wonder why an ISIS terrorist would even allow himself to be captured rather than take out as many as possible once they were closing in. This piggybacks other posts today. Why would ISIS do this. Makes no sense. This seems like some spy games going on. We know Ukraine Intel has done some rather batshit silly shit with the aid of individual allies. Remember the attack on the pipeline and they tried to blame the Russians (and many bought it too) for hitting their own pipeline. The blame shift to ISIS will be accepted by the sheeple but not by me.

Looks like another big strike is inbound to Ukraine...

 

Suspicion is swirling on Russia Telegraph that the Ukrainians are actually responsible for the terror attack and that ISIS taking responsibility is just a red herring. I don't know. What I do know is that things seem to be escalating and if Ukrainian Intel thought that a terror attack would pause the Russians, it seems they were terribly wrong.

Why does main stream news work this way? They've been on the Princess of Wales having cancer for the past hour...

 Finally a day off and I have Fox News in the background.  For the past hour they've been waxing poetically about the Princess of Wales having cancer and how she's in treatment now.

With everything going on in the US why?

First I don't even fucking respect the British Royals.  If they died tomorrow I would not care.  Oh and don't get it twisted.  If I died tomorrow they wouldn't care!

We have real deal issues going on in this country yet they're going on and on and on about one person in another country that is simply a CELEBRITY, not even a politician!

This is supposed to be the number one conservative news organization?

This is supposed to be the "people we trust" to give us the news to make informed decisions?

We're all getting played so hard.  The game is rigged.

Its not a matter of "IF" but "WHEN" we get hit with a terror attack. Thanks President Biden/Globalist/Dems/RINOs

 

Warning politics!

First.  Speaker Johnson has been a disappointment.  I thought the dude would stand tall but he's rolled over just like McCarthy.  MTG might be batshit crazy but she's right.  Time to cut out all the fucking pork from the budget.  Apparently actually reading the laws/budgets they pass is too much for some Congress Critters.

Second.  The US military goes world wide to assure allies.  Might be time for them to assure the American people and shut down the border.  The madness yesterday is intolerable.  The idea that they've allowed terrorist, murderers, rapist and worse thru the border is simply INSANITY!

Thanks President Biden/Globalist/Dems/RINOs and the rest of the evil bastards that are doing more to fuck up this country than any enemy in the history of our Republic.

Russia/Ukraine war is just mirrors. US officials tell Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil sites cause it drives up world oil prices

Just plain wow.

Wrap your head around this shit.  Ukrainian generals launch an ill conceived offensive that eats up men and material and the advisors sit on their hands.

Ukrainian men and now women are sent in foolhardy assaults straight into fortified positions and most don't bat an eye.

Ukraine hits energy sites and now they're raising an alarm?

I'm telling ya.  For some reason people in power LIKE war.  For some reason they have no issue and no sympathy for the people that they send to fight and die in the wars they start.

This war has been "off" from the start.  

I seriously believe it could have and should have been avoided.  The powers that be like war so they pushed it forward.

We're being led by devils that will consume us all if we continue to allow them free reign.
