January 21, 20241 yr The first one seriously ed some people up. Will Joe remain feckless and allow this to go unchallenged?If anybody wants to know, Garrett’s surgeries have gone as successful as can be currently hoped for.There is still bits of shrapnel in his head that will probably have to come out in a future attempt, but he’s stable condition now.Long way to go from there, but he got moved from Landstuhl back to Walter Reed a couple days ago.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
January 26, 20241 yr Video series on a WW3 scenario, offered for entertainment and thread churning: I love his series even if it overstated what it turned out to be real Russian capabilities.The scene where the US Brigade commander is on the VTC and is cut off mid sentence with the President because of his gawd damned cell phone got his head quarters targeted was great. We’ve been preaching that for years to be ignored by people who are too important to not have their phone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Depends, if the rest of the authoritarian world and parts of the Global South ignore the sanctions on them now and likely after the conflict ends / suspends they’ll bounce back better than we want They got problems but they got means too, more natural resources and a scientific / industrial base that’s capable Russia is never as strong as she seems nor as weak as she seems, my guess is their national pride is stronger than our post modern corporate nihilistic leaders want to believe, I think 10 years after they stop fighting in Ukraine they will be capable of significant military local power projection.

Election is now filling up the sight picture. To really get a message across we need to hit Iran's ability to produce oil and make money with an eye to minimizing civilian casualties. The greatest threat to the Iranian leadership are the rank-and-file Iranians and we don't want them to feel pressure to rally around that leadership with casualties. OTH lot's of executions seem to be happening lately and tend to keep the natives in line. I'm all for hitting their oil industry HARD but that will likely lead to a spike in worldwide oil/gasoline prices and now we just circled back to the election. At some point we'll have no choice but to really hit them and that I fear will be when we lose troops. My 0.02
January 27, 20241 yr I just want to go on record saying that I didn’t trust the UN well before October of last year… “UNRWA fires 12 staffers who allegedly took part in October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel, US cuts funding” https://nypost.com/2024/01/26/news/un-fires-staffers-who-allegedly-took-part-in-october-7-hamas-terrorist-attacks-on-israel/

January 28, 20241 yr 3 American Servicemembers were Killed and at least 24 Injured last night in a One-Way “Suicide” Drone Attack by Iranian-Backed Forces near the Al-Tanf Military Base in Northern Jordan.

My guess is another “proportional and measured” response, although with a bit more teeth, but well short of what is required for our enemies to fear us. The SECEEF should resign in disgrace, this outcome has been obviously inevitable.

January 28, 20241 yr A Congressman should have to kill himself/herself if an American dies overseas for their (Our government's) stupidity. Clean out congress. When WWIII happens (I think history might say we're in the beginning stages of it), I wouldn't trust some of our leaders to keep us safe. I think they like money more than Americans.

You aren't wrong, but I have a particular disdain for Austin due to his decisively harmful meddling in this incident; I was in a position to see up close what a craven political creature he is. Sentiments that have amplified since he became SECDEF and sold us out during the fall of Kabul, where I also witnessed his (and others) deliberate injects which emboldened enemies and hurt friendlies. Regarding the current thing and authorities at his level: there have been many proactive opportunities which he's declined. We need accountability.
