Love cold mountains, warm beaches and hot fires
Not Minnesota, that’s the cover story from them to continue to Greenland

One day the USN might take on a near peer. I guess in the interim while US cities will be the training grounds for the Army and Marines, fishing boats in the Caribbean will be the same for the USN.

Is that all? Jayzus so many folks are missing out. Best getting promoting ;-)

An author from Sydney’s Hills District has already written a book in which the first 5 pages describe in simple detail Australia’s “Pearl Harbour” (www.amazon.com/36th-Eagle-J...)

Truth: “we were late to WW1, we were late to WW2, and haven’t fought a near peer since then…”

An Australian Krasnov?

Meh - barely anything of value worth reporting anyway; 340m Americans, 6bn non-Americans. Much broader horizons to explore elsewhere.

Probably agreed it was historically Russian and should be returned

Who’s going to mention this is also a former Russian territory that Putin’s looking to take back?

This is the 2nd deployment to the region. One went last year. There’s a suggestion that it helped in a few instances of downing kep RuAF assets

Qld is in one time zone. So I assume the two activities were undertaken 2hrs drive from each other.

Watch them get arrested for “something” and sent to the front in a Storm Battalion.

Frankly everyone is having a lend if they think this is a value for money let alone timely proposition. It will all by over by 2027 (presuming Xi’s timeline is correct), long before they would be available in the usual hyper optimistic world of defence procurement.

As a side add Trehalose “resurrection sugar” dissolved in green tea - great anti oxidant

The final undercurrent is that it’s clear that the boots in the ground will not come from those families who can afford to pay doctors to diagnose “heel spurs” and avoid service. The days of Lord Lovatt leading a Commando unit are long gone.

Agreed that the UKR is not such a situation. However the ling game has been played well, with the investments in Krasnov and other compromised assets now paying dividends.

Those who do not learn from history are bound to repeat it.

Unfortunately recent history has been to full of folly; Vietnam and Iraq being major examples. It has, justifiably, created a hesitancy for people to be willing to die for especially where there’s doubt about the cause.

They look a lot like the alleged ANTIFA activists responsible for Jan 6

Hate to point out the obvious truth but this does seem to apply to a lot of folk looking at the numbers from November (unless of course the machines were hijacked from within Nick Hauritz part 2: open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...)
She Won, Part II: Seven Judges. Direct-to-Cell Satellites. A Hijacked Election.
How the Federalist Society’s judicial pipeline and a new network of 265 low-Earth orbit DTC satellites cleared the runway for Trump’s return to power.
