The Chinese automotive market. Man! They're doing stuff with electric vehicles that would bankrupt US automakers in a year! We don't have to like it. We do have to accept that in some tech we're behind. We don't have to stay behind but we have to at least acknowledge it. The thing that kills me is that all the Western nations are engaging in protectionism to shield their auto industry against this rising giant. That's never the solution. Words need to match deeds. Remove the barriers and opt for free and fair competition. Use tariffs if they have govt funding but blocking the selling of foreign vehicles? Not good. Same for every other consumer product. Additionally, cause its really hurting our defense industry, we've got to face facts when it comes to automation. Workers will never outwork machinery. Our munition plants? We should fully automate them. Aviation industry? Same. Shipbuilding? FUCK YEAH! We've got to face the future and if we're really facing existential threats then we're hurting ourselves by protecting workers against the future. Change my mind.

12th MLR training with JGSDF troops. Have you noticed that the MLR's are pushing infantry training rather than the sea denial mission?

Maybe its happening in the background. Maybe its being broadcast and I'm just not seeing it but it appears that the infantry side of the MLR is being pushed harder than the sea denial side. Additionally it seems that the resupply issue while being worked seems to be intractable. Still think its a bad idea. Still think its on theater specific. Still think that transforming the entire Marine Corps to the sea denial mission is a HUGE mistake but they're dug in.

US warns of mass casualty attack in Moscow???

 

The US warned Russia of a terror attack in Moscow. Russia shut down a palace. The US Embassy went public and named the site: "a credible threat of a mass casualty event" at the Tsaritsyno Museum Reserve. One palace. One street address. One day. Then the FSB told TASS it got the information from the US: a terror attack being prepared in Moscow. "We are taking appropriate action." Russian news agency RIA says the museum and park are temporarily closed and access is restricted. TASS says the reason is "operational measures." Guards told a reporter it was "technical reasons." Now look at March 2024. The same embassy warned of plans to hit large gatherings in Moscow, concerts included. Putin said Western warnings "resemble outright blackmail." 3 days later, 15 days after the alert, gunmen attacked the Crocus City Hall concert venue. 145 DEAD. This time the FSB says it is acting on the warning. Baza, a Russian Telegram channel close to the security services, says the site stays closed for at least 2 days. The day in the alert is now over in Moscow. No attack has been reported so far. No suspect has been named. Share this. Everyone should know about it.

The US has a responsibility to warn of terror attacks in ANY country (at least in my mind) but I have to wonder what group would be planning such an attack. Of course my mind immediately goes to Ukraine but then why would we warn? Then I think that Ukraine might be using Islamic "cut outs" to achieve plausible deniability. Which brings me back to the circle of ... then why would we warn? I just don't know what to think. Could be that its just radicals. Regardless we're still stuck in the land of mirrors and the public will learn in a few years or never.

WTF is going on in Poland????

 Seems like the Poles are going thru some type of crisis I can't quite put my finger on.  The Prime Minister stormed into their version of the Supreme Court or something like that, claiming that they were attempting to overthrow the country.

Man, I just don't know.

If anyone has a clear read on that situation I'd love to hear it.

Tony (Reader) brought it up so we're gonna talk about it. Western countries are warning citizens to store food, water and toilet supplies for at least 3 days. What ya'll think is going on?

🚨 5 countries. 6 warnings. 1 week.. 🇯🇵 Japan — on November 2, the day its new Disaster Management Agency opens, the government asks ALL citizens to store food, water and toilet supplies for at least 3 days.. a full week if they can.. the reason is big earthquakes.. 🇬🇧 UK — the new "Be Ready" campaign tells families to keep 3 days of water, canned food, cash and a radio.. the radios are now SOLD OUT.. 🇺🇸 US — the Pentagon wants its bases on US soil to run at least 90 days with no outside supply.. their own power, water, fuel and comms.. the plan is called FORTRESS.. its spokesman says "Power is combat now".. 🇬🇧 UK again — the head of the British Army, General Sir Roly Walker, stood in front of his soldiers at Catterick and told them "our nation is going to need you".. 🇩🇪 Germany — every 18-year-old man gets a military service questionnaire.. skip it and the fine is up to €250.. the first fines have started.. 🇳🇴 Norway — a government press release, titled in plain words.. "3 things you must do to prepare for crisis and war".. and this is its Self-Preparedness Week.. and here's the part that should worry you.. one by one, each of these looks like normal news.. put them in one list and it feels very different.. all of it while the US and Iran are still on edge.. and the one that asks a whole country to stock up hasn't even started yet.. Follow me.. on November 2, open it again and see if the list got longer..

🚨BREAKING: JAPAN WILL ASK EVERY CITIZEN TO STOCK FOOD, WATER AND TOILET SUPPLIES FOR AT LEAST 3 DAYS, IDEALLY 1 WEEK. Britain, France, Germany and the EU have already told their people to keep emergency supplies ready. Here's what's happening: → THE REQUEST: Disaster minister Goshi Hosono will issue an "emergency request" to every citizen, the central ministries and all prefectures on November 2. → 1 WEEK: He wants food, water and toilet supplies at home for "at least 3 days" and, "if possible, 1 week." → ON YOUR OWN: He wants every home able to get by "even without public help." → THE THREATS: a Nankai Trough quake, a quake right under Tokyo, giant quakes along the Japan and Chishima trenches, and a Mount Fuji eruption. → DAY ONE: Japan is LAUNCHING a new Disaster Management Agency that same day, and the request will come on its first day. Think about this. People in Japan saw the headline and asked online if World War 3 was coming. The minister's own list is earthquakes and a volcano. In 6 days, every citizen in Japan gets the same ask: 3 days at least, 1 week if possible. Follow me. I'll post the full request on November 2, the day it goes out.

A fearless robot is easy to break. A careful one is not.

THIS ROBOT DOES NOT FEAR DEATH, BUT IT STILL DIVES BEHIND A CAR WHEN THE BULLETS COME The cars are covered in bullet holes. The robots drop flat behind the wheels, lean out, fire, and then move to the next car. Everyone expected robots to walk straight into gunfire, because they feel nothing. That is how they look in every film: upright, slow, taking every hit. In a real fight that robot lasts a few seconds. A machine standing in the open is the easiest target on the field, and losing an expensive robot that fast makes no sense to anybody. So this one hides. Not out of fear, out of math. The longer it stays in one piece, the more it shoots and the less each mission costs. It was taught to survive because survival is efficient. That makes it more dangerous than the fearless version from the films. It is an enemy that feels nothing and still plays it safe. A fearless robot is easy to break. A careful one is not.

Answer? Fuck yeah! Maybe...I don't know. College football is wacky this year and the SEC is eating itself. We're gonna damage each other so much that only one team (if we're lucky) makes the playoffs. That's a shame too. You KNOW the other conferences don't measure up and don't get me started on the pussified teams on the West coast.

The blame Russia for everything is getting out of hand. Now they're blaming Russia for rioting in France!

The Worlds most powerful man, Vladimir Putin, has instructed 800,000 French people to take to the streets. Kremlin operatives are also on the streets of Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal, Belgium, Austria, and Albania Its all Russias fault. https://t.co/TEYYxb5AwT

Just plain wow. If this is possible then we have a huge problem. Are you telling me that psyops is so powerful that it can mobilize people to riot? If that's the case then Russia/China/Iran would be using it to destabalize every Western nation.

China has the Type 057X coming soon? A 9,000 ton multi-role destroyer?

🇨🇳China’s DDGX is coming. Both Jiangnan and Dalian shipyard have stopped producing Type 055 and 052D destroyers mysteriously. Why? Because rumours said both shipyards are preparing to launch a brand new 9000-ton Multi-Role Destroyer, with the code name Type 057X https://t.co/kzdIRczoLU
