If AI SciFi ever gets proper funding, Hollywood is cooked!
I'm loving what I'm seeing from these short AI scifi mini movies. The weird thing is that they're all being made by SeeDance. They're all Chinese. America's AI needs to hurry up and get busy catching up!This ai video is an absolute masterpiece. Also I made it. https://t.co/j6AqUIpkjr

I post this with great pride. I was called stupid because I pushed the idea of large missile trucks replacing fighters. The USAF is FINALLY talking about using bombers in the missile truck role!!!!
YES! YES! YES! It only makes sense! Large DEDICATED missile trucks can have bigger GaN AESA's, carry larger/longer ranged missile (internally) and will naturally have far greater range! It will require a different allocation of responsibiity though. The Navy will never be able to have large enough aircraft on their decks to fully exploit this theory so they'll become responsible for close in combat while the Air Force can lob missiles from distance. I LIKE IT!USAF Confirms Bombers Could Have A Major Air-To-Air Combat Role Bombers are now being viewed as another potential air-to-air asset on top of growing the fighter fleet and establishing a CCA force. https://t.co/wEv6E4ADDC

Interesting. The story of the great flood in the Bible extends to cultures all over the world...
I had to do an internet search to make sure this was true and it is. The story of the great flood is found in cultures all over the world. The most interesting thing? These different tellings of the same event happened before the influence of christianity arrived! In many history classes the bible is used as a historical, not religious document. Never locked in on that but it makes sense. Ancient documentation is ancient documentation regardless of the source or your belief system.
Every ancient culture tells the same story, in the same order. First came the giants. Then the waters. Hebrew: the Nephilim walk the earth, then the Flood. Greek: Ovid writes that the blood of the defeated Giants bred a violent race of men, so Zeus drowned the world. Norse: Ymir’s blood floods the world and drowns every frost giant except one, Bergelmir, who escapes in a boat. Inca: Viracocha creates a race of giants, is displeased, and wipes them out with a flood. Aztec: the giant Xelhua survives the flood and builds the Great Pyramid of Cholula. Five civilizations. Oceans apart. Same order of events. Call it the Flood. Call it the Younger Dryas. I call it the Geophysical Event. Every culture remembers who was standing here before it.

FQ-42 moves forward
Have you looked at projected Chinese fighter production? Aircraft like the FQ-42 MIGHT be the only way we can move toward equalling them. I say might because they're mirroring our actions. I hope to God we have some formidable TOP SECRET options that can be pulled out the closet in case of war. Bush's de-industrialization gambit in favor of becoming a financial center has and will continue to have dire ramifications for our country. Not many talk about it but that dude really fucked over the USA.GA-ASI Partnering with Spirit Defense for FQ-42 CCA Production: https://t.co/140HkwxRym https://t.co/ke0ITNIOyQ

You're gonna have to use translate to read this tweet but supposedly Russia is evacuating its Nuclear Experts out of Iran poste haste...
🚨🔥几小时前,多架俄军 Il-76 巨型运输机低空轰鸣,强行降落伊朗布什尔空军基地! 但这一次,俄罗斯人不是来送礼的,而是来“逃命”的。 甚至有消息称,飞机在匆忙接人的同时,还在向伊朗紧急卸载武器…… 到底发生了什么? 如果你仔细看这时间线,会发现一个极其惊人的反转: 就在几周前,俄罗斯国家原子能公司(Rosatom)高调宣布:“我们正在逆势而行,安排人员重返伊朗!” 仅仅到10月中旬,就有135名俄方顶级核专家重返伊朗唯一的核电站——布什尔核电站,并计划进一步增加到200人。 一切看似正在恢复正常。 然而,短短几天后,政策一夜彻底颠覆! 俄罗斯军机急奔伊朗,目标只有一个:在局势彻底失控、军事升级全面爆发前,紧急清空所有俄籍核专家! 还记得上一次俄罗斯这样大规模紧急撤离吗? 正是战事刚刚爆发的时候——单日撤走94人,随后陆续撤离了600多人。 好不容易把核心技术人员重新派回去,如今却用军用运输机全速“抢人”离开。 这意味什么? 1️⃣ 俄罗斯对当地的安全承诺和局势预期已经彻底崩溃。 2️⃣ 莫斯科很可能掌握了极高精度的情报:一场惊心动魄的重大打击即将落地。 3️⃣ 在核反应堆这种顶级敏感地带,一旦开火就可能是“切尔诺贝利级”的灾难,俄罗斯绝不愿让自家专家沦为炮灰或人质。 从“全面重返”到“军机急撤”,前后不过两三周。 暴风雨来临前,最狡猾的大鸟已经飞走了,俄罗斯在用最快速度做出的这个决定,恐怕是现在中东局势走向最真实的一个信号灯😎💥

The Netherlands is retiring its fleet of Kodiak Combat Engineering Vehicles. They state they're no longer suitable for assigned tasks & technical problems...
Hmm. Which is it? No other country has announced any issues with this vehicle and no other country has stated its no longer capable of Combat Engineering Tasks. Wonder what the real answer is. I'm betting they'll be missed just like the Marines will miss tanks AND tracks on its amphibious vehicle.🇳🇱 The Netherlands has decided that it will retire its fleet of Kodiak Combat Engineering Vehicles (CEV), as they have been deemed to no longer be suited for the combat engineering task and are plagued with technical problems limiting availability. Initially a midlife update for the vehicles was proposed, but this was deemed to not be worth the effort, and a new CEV is to be procured instead, which is equipped specifically for the obstacle breaching role. https://t.co/iqhpaV14zV

Poland having issues with the K2 MBT. I don't think its a deal breaker or will even hurt S. Korea's exports.
I personally don't think this will hurt the South Korean defense industry much. Why? Because the S. Korea I know stand behind their products and I would bet much that they already have techs in the air to get the issues ironed out.💢🇵🇱Polonya Ordusunda 🇰🇷Kore krizi‼️ ✍🏻Polonya basını: “Polonya Silahlı Kuvvetleri'nin envanterindeki Güney Kore yapımı K2 Black Panther tanklarında çok sayıda arıza yaşandı ve araçlar hizmet dışı kaldı.” “Rapor edilen sorunlar arasında motorların aşırı ısınması, şanzıman arızaları ve palet sistemi problemleri yer alıyor.” 🔗https://t.co/8yVppbg3fH ••••• 🇵🇱Polish media: K2 tanks are defective! #Poland’s Armament Agency has dismissed reports of widespread technical failures crippling South #Korean-made #K2 Black #Panther main battle #tanks in #military service, stating that reported malfunctions remain within an "expected and normal level" for newly inducted hardware. 🔗https://t.co/993I6mfi5Q

US Army is now buying unmanned resupply boats
Hmm. So everyone is cross platforming except the US Army's Logistics Corps. Everyone depends on the Army for Theater Logistics. Anyone remember the days when the USAF guaranteed air supremacy? That died a quiet painful death. How long before reality forces the Army into buying fighters to defend its ground forces and attack enemy ground forces?The U.S. Army plans to procure up to 100 unmanned surface vehicles to transport military cargo and support operations in the Pacific region.Major General Gavin Gardner, commander of the 8th Logistics Command, announced these plans back in June 2026. https://t.co/ueD28exviv

The Chinese have studied, figured out and have counters to the MLR
A much more detailed study of the new USMC strategy appeared in early 2025 in the naval magazine Modern Ships [现代舰船]. This Chinese assessment noted with considerable alarm that the USMC was experimenting with unmanned surface vessels capable of firing the stealthy LRASM anti-ship cruise missile and that these units could alternatively serve as forward scouts, fixing targets for long-range U.S. military fires.
Still, this analysis underlines some weaknesses of the USMC strategy, including the range limitations of related sensors and drones, and even characterized the air-defense capabilities of the USMC as “precarious.” Another study in this same magazine had earlier drawn attention to the logistics quandaries raised by the new strategy.
Read the whole thing but the Chinese have simply outlined the same issues that US based experts have stated.
The good? Unmanned vessels capable of firing long range antiship missiles. The same units could serve as scouts.
The bad? A TOTAL LACK OF DENSITY! The number of ships will be so limited that destroying them even in piecemeal fashion will be relatively easy for screening long range UAVs equipped with air to surface missiles. I DO NOT BELIEVE that even in their destruction that they've served their purpose. Losing equipment to enemy long range aircraft does nothing to inform you about the position of the enemy fleet!~
The good? Ain't no more good according to the Chinese.
The bad? Limited sensor range. The GAT/OR radar does nothing to increase our situational awareness and while I'm far from an expert on radars in general and this system in particular I do note that like other radars its big, bulky and as the war in Iran has shown us vulnerable to enemy action. Even a minor power was able to destroy several US Army radars with much greater range and protection than an MLR has.
Logistics? To my knowledge no solution to supplying the MLR in a contested area has been found. Unmanned helicopters (the UH-60 version comes to mind) and boats are tossed around but have yet to enter service. If the USMC puts an MLR in harms way and the Chinese engage in the grey zone activity that I believe they will then the MLR will have to survive on what they brought with them. If the Chinese are as aggressive as I believe they will be diplomatically then I expect that a few our allies will be bullied into submission and won't help even in this non-hostile endeavor.
Anti-Air? The lack of anti-air systems that the USMC is employing with the MLR makes me wonder who came up with this and what street drug they were smoking. Not only are the systems short ranged but the lack of magazine depth that they will have is shocking. Cannon and Stinger missile based anti-air? A modest electronic warfare setup? Not only is it unimpressive but its downright insulting to the Marines on the ground.
Against a drone swarm they MIGHT have enough anti-air for on medium to large engagement. Anything after that and they're pussy on a plate...just waiting to get fucked.
The MLR is a bad idea.
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
The MLR is designed to die in place. It's real purpose is to rally the American people to engage in a war with China over a nation (Taiwan) that they really don't care about.
The American people will care about 2000 Marines being killed, injured or captured by the Chinese though.

Where are ya'll at in the current dust up with Ukraine?
In April of this year, the U.S. Army conducted an exercise in Germany called Joint Resolve, inviting Ukrainian drone units to participate. At the height of discussions in the Oval Office about possible American amphibious landings on the Iranian coast, U.S. generals wanted to test whether their best ground combat division could withstand an enemy highly skilled in modern drone warfare. And during those exercises in Germany, an ordinary Ukrainian FPV drone unit reportedly completely wiped out the U.S. Army's 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team of the 1st Cavalry Division, approximately 3,500 soldiers from Fort Hood, Texas, in the simulated battle. Thanks to Ukraine, American generals were able to see firsthand that a landing operation in Iran could result in devastating casualties among American troops. When that orange bastard claims that “Ukraine has given America nothing,” he ignores something absolutely priceless that Ukraine has given the United States: the opportunity to avoid yet another strategic catastrophe into which that orange head was pushing the country. There is an old saying: If you knew where you were going to fall, you would spread some straw to soften the landing. Well, the Ukrainians provided that straw for the Americans. Only an idiot like Trump could believe that his friend Vladimir, who supposedly provides Iran with only “a little help,” would not send several experienced Russian drone crews to Iran to help destroy American forces. Ukraine may have saved the lives of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of American soldiers. Because Ukraine did not keep the experience it had gained through blood and sacrifice to itself. Instead, it shared that knowledge with the Americans, even as Trump's decisions betrayed Ukraine. That experience was purchased with Ukrainian blood. And Ukraine shared it with an ally that should never have turned its back on us.

Oh, I’m fucking angry today. And you better brace yourselves. I haven’t slept for 24 hours. For an entire fucking day, Russia has been pounding Kyiv with Geran attack drones. Wave after wave. Relentlessly. TWENTY-FOUR HOURS. And while we’re living through this nightmare, Donald Trump is reportedly complaining: “We gave Ukraine enormous amounts of money. And all we got in return was high diesel prices.” ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! We’re being bombed. We’re losing sleep, electricity, homes and lives. And you’re talking about DIESEL PRICES?! Meanwhile, Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence (HUR) has released new estimates of Russia’s military stockpiles ahead of winter. 🚨 Russia is reportedly producing more than 200 missiles every month, including approximately 110 ballistic missiles. Russia’s estimated arsenal includes: 🔴 6,200 Shahed-type attack drones in reserve. 🔴 115 Iskander-M ballistic missiles, with another 65 produced monthly. 🔴 More than 450 Kalibr cruise missiles. 🔴 Up to 400 RM-48U missiles. 🔴 More than 600 Oniks missiles. 🔴 More than 120 Zircon missiles. 🔴 Kh-101 production reportedly exceeds 80 missiles per month. Do you understand what these numbers mean? They mean more nights like this. More Ukrainian children sleeping in shelters. More families living without electricity or heating. More civilians killed while the world debates the price of fuel. Russia is stockpiling weapons ahead of winter. We are preparing to survive another winter of Russian attacks. And instead of talking about diesel prices, perhaps it’s time to talk about stopping the country that’s bombing us. UKRAINIANS ARE NOT THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR YOUR POLITICAL GAMES. We are human beings. And we have the right to live. #Ukraine #Kyiv #RussiaUkraineWar #StandWithUkraine #AirDefense #RussianWarCrimes

Have you heard the latest fear tactic? Russia is supposedly about to attack a US sat...
🇷🇺🇫🇮 ANTI-SATELLITE SPACE WARS: Russian military satellite KOSMOS 2612 is now 135 meters (445 feet) from ICEYE-X36 spy satellite that provides tracking data to Ukraine. If it keeps maneuvering the same way, it will close to 45 meters (145 feet) on Monday, tomorrow. -> First aggressive satellite encounter in history! Will the Russian anti-satellite weapon hit the Finnish spy satellite with a laser to burn its camera, use electronic warfare, or just ram it? Space war about to start? PS: You can see how close it is on the video, first time in history a satellite might attack another one. https://t.co/NC6w3IxtDg

Finally someone in this administration is ready to putting Barking Dawg Zelensky back in his kennel...
Word to the wise. Don't talk shit in public and then beg for money in private. As far as I'm concerned after this idiocy the most corrupt country in Europe can get its monetary and military needs elsewhere. It appears he has a ton of support in Europe. Let Europe deal with his begging, ungrateful ass.🚨 SCOTT BESSENT JUST PUT ZELENSKY IN HIS PLACE. Zelensky went on national TV and blamed America for limits on Starshield connectivity. He said the limits came from a "message from American government." Bessent wasn't having it: "I think it is very reckless for President Zelensky to make such a charge." He added a warning: "Zelensky should be very careful about making statements like this that aren't true." When Zelensky was asked whether Trump or Musk made the call, he admitted he didn't know. Then he claimed it was "both" anyway. He attacks America in public, then turns around and asks for more of our money. It's time to stop writing blank checks. https://t.co/jSgibs2URK
