Never thought I’d live to see the day where Americans would show support for Osama Bin Laden, but here we are.

When Trump is literally compared to Hitler by those who have held top government positions, anything is possible.

Bin Laden was pretty great but there’s this Austrian vegetarian artist that spoke up against Zionist oppression #standwithpalestine and stood for his people’s interests to spark a national socialist movement. I didn’t make it to the end of the tik tok to get his name because my Gen Z brain can’t focus on anything for more than 15 seconds, but this guy sounded pretty awesome. Cool moustache too.

The sudden surge of interest also led the Guardian, a British newspaper, to pull from its website a decades-old piece containing the full letter.

I found the Cliffs Notes version of Osama's heart warming letter to America.  

Here it is:

All while the SecDef is in the hospital with cancer and the CINC is senile and border line brain dead. Who is running the military?

A couple of Ivy League leftists with an agenda to ruin America.

We need someone to pull a Braveheart staff adjustment similar to the king that left his effeminate incompetent son in charge and the sons friends described himself as fully versed in warfare because he studied it. Then gets thrown out a window. That will never happen but it makes me smile just thinking about it.

When they call me back to AD for the big one (sts), I'm gonna demand they let me pick a squadron of aircraft from the boneyard (sts).  

I will demand it!

Edit: My wife just came to the man cave and told me to turn down the "Huey" Lewis as it was too loud.  At least I was playing it loud.  

A squadron of Huey gunships and Cobras.  Flown by retirees of all branches.  Skids are for kids!

5 years?  Methinks more like 2-3…
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2024/01/16/be-ready-for-war-with-china-russia-iran-and-north-korea-warns-uk/
BO Generals and SESes… say you have 3 years to get ready for a coordinated series of aggressions in multiple theaters around the world.  
Some allies will respond and assist, some will be trying to grow their capes prior to the ballon going up, some will be neutral and allow passage thru territory but no landing or basing in their territory, a few will block access to their sovereign territory and try to placate aggressors… the majority of military, economic, informational, technological and industrial effort will be from the USA, say 80% to put a number value to it.
You get in the 3 pre-war years DoD budget increases year over year of 5% over inflation and the authority to reprogram, divest and acquire capes equalling about 15% of the budget.  Congress is getting out of the way to a degree.

The objective is to stop aggression and preserve the antebellum territorial borders, SLOCs and deter/prevent further expansion of aggression.  
What do you buy?  What do you grow?  What do you divest?  What kind of force can you shape or hone from its present state in 3 years?

"stop aggression" has become the new "save our democracy"

Understand your perspective but there is a storm brewing between eastern authoritarian systems vs the Liberal International Order. Despite its flaws and the disgusting hypocrisy greed and lying of half the people who lead it, it is preferable to an existence dominated by the other systems.

have you ever considered the liberal international order is its own version of authoritarian systems? it really hit me with how the system acted during covid. lockdowns, forced vax, openly lying about the vax effectiveness.

fauci himself praised the chinese level of dystopian lockdowns.

[Danger41]

I say we rewrite our doctrine for 3 years and just conquer these places and make some new states.

Well I wouldn’t say the LIO as it is historically or academically defined but it is the corruption of western republican democracies / societies
The LIO is not the globalist open borders hyper exploitation crony capitalism in league with a cronyist administrative state, it is the rules based order relationships among countries following WW2 meant to prevent wars of aggression and promote positive fair interaction among nations, allow access to the global commons and promote a basic level of human rights.
The globalists try to conflate their project with the LIO but they are separate. The LIO respects legitimate sovereignty whereas the globalist does not.

correct and i agree w/ most of what you posted above. HOWEVER i think the post WWII LIO has been brutally corrupted by globalists and forces who DGAF about the west. they care about money and power. mostly power.

i'd submit as evidence the WEF. run by a brutal authoritarian klaus. they have infiltrated every western government and are the biggest threat we face.

[Skitzo]

This is a great take on changing world orders…. There’s also a 5 min version.

While I would hope that being open globally to trade would prevent us from conflict Mearsheimer has pointed out that this did not factor into WWI.

The only problem I see is that China’s continued rise is not certain, what they do release is troubling and it is on this basis that I presume things are worse than they seem especially with them filling their missiles with water over fuel.

That’s one approach but if we just wanna stop aggression and no more then my suggestion is long range fires and a shit ton of them plus attritable platforms.  
My first post didn’t mean to be this platform for this platform for that one but in the parochial mindset of congress it probably will have to be, if you divest my JSTARS then what are you going to replace it with in my district to preserve economic footprint?

The first one seriously fucked some people up.  Will Joe remain feckless and allow this to go unchallenged?
