Where did this fight between Thailand and Cambodia come from?
I never even got a whiff of an upcoming fight between Thailand and Cambodia. They've always had borden tensions but they were moderated and controlled...until now. I checked open sources and no one else saw it coming either. What happened? What pushed them over the line into an actual fight? Oh and everyone, including me, believes Thailand will win if it escalates .... BUT, if this is a prolonged conflict and China decides it wants to play then all bets are off. A sudden influx of high tech weapons could change everyones calculus.

This is so sad. Marine Corps tries to ride Army shine on their (the US Army's) successful firing of the SM-6
via USNI News
“We validated mobile command and control at scale — integrating joint and multinational fire assets to apply decisive combat power at a time and place of our choosing. That’s how MRF-D operates as a stand-in force: lethal, agile and always in position to act with allies and partner forces,” said Col. Jason C. Armas, commanding officer of MRF-D 25.3 in a release,
Dude!
Just!
Shut!
The!
Fuck!
Up!
The pathetic grab at getting a piece of the Army's shine is here.

3rd Multi-Domain Task Force (3MDTF) conducts the first Mid-Range Capability live fire exercise outside of the continental United States successfully sinking a maritime target with a Standard Missile-6 Force during Exercise Talisman Sabre 25
Note. Love the concept or hate it but the US Army has gotten this down pat. We haven't even seen the USMC launch its missile while the Army is already sinking ships. The one thing that is giving me pause is that we're using anti-aircraft missiles (which we apparently have a limited supply of) against ships. I mean from a historic perspective we're kinda repeating the German WW2 example with the 88mm flak gun.

This is wild and embarrassing. I know some of these dudes and have met them all..
I don't know why the focus is on the subway owner. The real story is that they arrested some police chiefs in this thing. Worse? Police chiefs were having an association meeting in Baton Rouge and the FBI, IRS, ICE and State Police arrested a few more of them there (rightfully so don't get it twisted). This is a real shame and disgrace.🚨 BREAKING: The Trump admin has ARRESTED a Subway restauranteur for mass IMMIGRATION FRAUD

The Lampasas river in Texas rose 31 feet in 4 hours earlier today
WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING IN TEXAS! This is becoming "a trend" (like MrGunsnGear says) or a feature. Both options are terrifying.The Lampasas river in Texas rose 31 feet in 4 hours earlier today causing widespread flooding.

31st MEU | Amphibious Assault...Photos by Sgt. Angel Diaz Montes De Oca
Note. It is so wild to me that the Marine Corps is already talking about reducing the number AND freaking cannibalizing the mothballed vehicles for parts. The ACV already had me questioning the claim that it was more mobile over broken ground than the AAV but this? On a vehicle that just entered service? Unbelievable.
North Korea supplying up to 40% of Russia's ammunition
So what do we have here. We have China being the money guys and North Korea supplying hardware to Russia. You want linkage? It ain't a threat to Europe. The play here is to continue to extend the war between Russia and Ukraine so that America's stockpile of weapons continue to be reduced. Add in the continuing flair ups in the Middle East with the US ALSO SUPPLYING ISRAEL/OTHER FRIENDLY STATES (like the backstabbing Qatar) and you have us behind the power curve on preparations for the big fight."North Korea is now supplying as much as 40% of Russia’s ammunition for the war in Ukraine as the partnership between Pyongyang and Moscow deepens, according to the head of Ukrainian military intelligence.

How can a keyboard hobbyist see this but the so called big brains in Washington can't?
The game plan is so simple that its infuriating. What adds to my anger is that we have so called allies, so called representatives of the American people and of course the bastard lobbyist are all working against OUR interests.
I hate to say this but Trump, at the end of the day, is giving us a continuation of policy with a few tweaks here and there.
