Not at all a fan of the MLR concept. I like what Compass Points is pushing. An enhanced SOC/MOC MEU. That's a Special Operations Capable/Missile Operation Capable MEU that is viable in ALL THEATERS! Having said that the NMESIS project is a freaking mess. An unmanned vehicle that has to be controlled with a Marine walking beside it with a gaming controller? That's bullshit. We could put those missiles on this rig, have it full deployable, launch it in any direction and get the hell outta dodge. The Marine Corps has never known for being fancy but somehow we've wandered into those water. Simplify, Simplify, Simplify. Thoreau was right!

This is an EXTREMELY simplistic example of modern tech not beating old skool ways...

I luv tech. Live on my phone and computer but we have to be nuanced. Tech is awesome but sometimes old fashioned stuff works better. I guess the battle is knowing the difference.

Zelensky is a moving target with his demands for peace

Can't negotiate if the goal posts keep moving. The Russian starting point was problematic enough but when you add in the moving requirements of Ukraine and I arrive at just stepping away and letting the two sides fight it out. Of course this includes tossing this whole mess to the Europeans and letting them deal with the mess but that's just me. I see no solution to this thing and can only hope that the next winter is harsh, brutal and relentless. Only extreme pain and suffering at the highest levels will see them finally wanting peace.

This one is for the space guys. What happens if the capsule is damaged and starts taking on water before rescue arrives?

I know an incident occured in the Gemini program and NASA swore the astronaut screwed up but what happens if its a case of legit damage and water starts entering the capsule?
