The end of an era. But it has brought so many folks out of the shadows, and given a rare opportunity to reunite with old friends. Something the community needed more than ever, given what is to come.

TFW a knife fight at the front evokes the same moment across generations that surely led to the sculpture of the dying Gaul. War is a terrible thing, its nature unchanging.

I see a strong future market for force on force training using those Clone robots, given Torso 2 demo. Not just because the uncanny valley effect of thing screams "shoot this monster now"

It is apparently INDOPAC-over. Sadly the analysis here is likely incredibly accurate for the present state. But this must change.

Since 2003 wargaming identified the dangers of authoritarian regime pursuit of cyber intrusion for illicit financing of proliferation objectives. But 1st discussions were primitive & seen as too ludic, & so it took more than a dozen years until the analytic hypothesis was accepted in the mainstream.

I am a commitment over strange aeons.
I am not disposable when the holidays are over (at least until the next training runs are completed and the new model is released).

A morning as cold as the measures of effect briefing for the Tuvan deception redocumenting DPRK mercenaries, as the Western Military District is forced to confront mistakes found in recovered KIA DOMEX

I never again wish to hear arguments that cyber operations do not have strategic impact, especially in miltary innovation. Claims yet further disproven, as we watch EM cat testing on a PLAN flat top, on a pace undoubtedly accelerated by years if not decades

Pearl Harbor was to today, what the next intelligence failure is to 7 December 2107. What will you do to provide warning, and to prevent surprise attack this year, so that your great grandchildren will not have to watch tears of oil on the surface of the watery graves?

Russia House analysts (inside and elsewhere beyond the IC wheel) dusting off old tradecraft for agricultural analysis to respond to RFIs regarding reported crop failures. Smells like 70 year old grain samples preserved forgotten in a dusty closet.

setting the stage for future fights. Further reflect upon the fact that the 1950 battle was part of an offensive for which COMINT had provided collect identifying force generation, but was disregarded in wider warning failure. What did you do this week to anticipate & prepare for what may come?

Even printable in quite accessible filament, apparently. And one assumes readily scaled from .22 in proof of concept experiment examples, to something closer to the original .32 ACP / 7.65x17mm if not .380 ACP or 9x19mm

I have long said that in a post Westphalian world reshaped by new forms of cyber power, governments will not go quietly into the night. The corollary to this maxim is that the greater the distance between the reach of a state's hard power instruments, & its soft power aspirations, the more loudly
