Trump has Canada in a savage chokehold it can't escape from...Tariffs are brilliant...

 

Economic Analysis: Canada’s Economy is About to Get Steamrolled – Full-Scale Collapse Incoming
byu/DerpDerper909 inwallstreetbets
If this prediction of Canada's future under tariffs is true then they're fucked. Uber fucked. In my lifetime I have never seen US economic power used to its fullest. If this isn't it then just plain wow. Economic power as a weapon of war. We needed the brain trust in DC to have used this card long ago, but I guess globalism is worth more than spent lives in wasteful efforts.

Team Congo. When you just want one more sunrise...turn on captions

I wish we had more details on his location and the outcome of this. Dude seems to be at peace with the idea he is about to die shortly. Like I said I wasn't there and I don't know the situation but he apparently can't even run. Bad juju all around. What's gonna be a kick in the teeth to Americans and some of our leadership's lust for war is that when this finally gets around to an American serviceman posting a vid like this its gonna make us seeth with anger and maybe a desire FINALLY to fight wars in OUR interest that ARE WORTHY of sacrificing our brothers and sisters for.

The Air Force acted STUPIDLY and dramatically overstepped the directive. Luckily the SecDef is on it...

 

Changing Course on The Tuskegee Airmen

I hope he makes heads roll over this. This was stupid on a pile of shit. No way Trump's directive would even begin to point in this direction. This is attempted sabotage by stealth. Yeah he needs to fire the clown that pushed this.

Patriot Front. What exactly are they? If they're racists they're the most polite I've ever seen...

 

The video of these bubbas is floating all over X. I happened to see the one above and unless granny is completely oblivious, just doesn't give a fuck OR is just batshit crazy she basically muscled into the group got on the train and all was well. To be frank it almost seems like she's part of the organization! She's sitting with them with no signs of alarm (the young black girl seems oblivious too), and even rides the escalator down while being surrounded.

Who the fuck are these guys really.

Ukraine has NATO (including US) Troops on its soil. Now China does too...

Thanks to TheArmedNovelist for the link!

 

Why should we be surprised. NATO has troops in Ukraine, so why not China. As soon as the US/EU and others started arming the Ukrainians it became a proxy war. To expect China not to become more fully involved is idiocy.

What should really be of concern is that BRICS started off as an economic alliance. That economic alliance can and probably will morph into a full blown or quasi military alliance based on protecting their economic power.

One thing is certain.

The longer we dick around with Ukraine the more treasure, military and economic power we squander.  An end to this war is in the best economic and military interest of the US.

Russians Enter Last Major Ukrainian Stronghold In Key Eastern Sector

I don't know the map but I have a "sense" of this fight.

1.  Trump is pushing hard for a peace plan.
2.  The French along with the Brits are talking more and more about sending troops into Ukraine.
3.  Russia is damaged, not so much its forces which can be quickly reconstituted but more its economy.  Peace will not come without a lifting of the sanctions.
4.  Zelensky is getting desperate.  His benefactors are running out of money and equipment to send him.
5.  Zelensky should be fearing the end of the war because he will face the wrath of his own population.  Keep an eye on his private plane when the talks begin.  I'm sure he's already setup a spot to zoom to when this ends.

Last.  The Russians can topple Velyka Novosilka, continue with a limited offensive to consolidate their gains and basically just hold on.

That's what I expect to happen.

U.S. Marines unload ACVs from the Stern Landing Vessel (SLV), Okinawa, Japan.

 

Who remembers awhile ago when they were talking about launching LCACs from 100 miles off shore, closing to within 5 miles to the beach, doing an INSTREAM launch of the ACV and the LCAC would return to the ship for the rest of the assault wave and the ACV did mean, nasty things onshore? I remember the concept being talked about but never heard if they actually tried it. Anyone know? As far as the stern landing ship is concerned it just makes no sense. I keep saying it and will continue to say it. What is needed is a modernized Newport Class LST. It could beach, could keep up with the amphibious task force and would be absolutely essential especially when you consider the loss of well deck space with the unwarranted turn toward being aviation centric.

Marines are back to doing Marine things. Any Mission, Anywhere!!!

 

One thing about Marine Corps leadership.  Especially the weasels.  They can sense when the wind is shifting and can adjust with a quickness.  The way they're responding to the Trump administration's orders for troops on the border indicate they know what's what.  Oh and make no mistake.  For the Weasel Fucking Idiots that happen to wear stars (doesn't apply to the real deal Marine officers that I truly believe are still the majority) this is about self preservation.  They're trying to stack points to cover their six when the review of leadership gets going in earnest.
