Unanimous praise of Zelensky is over...Austrian far right lawmakers walk out of his speech...
Don't know the politics of Austria. Don't know their definition of far right. I do know that sentiment to turn off the war in Ukraine is building world wide. I also know that linking the fight in Ukraine to freedom/democracy in other countries is a meme that doesn't work anymore.WATCH: Far-right lawmakers walked out of the Austrian parliament to protest Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's speech. They claimed it violated Austria's neutrality. pic.twitter.com/apMtxg3dKz

US Army to the rescue. 1st Mutli-Domain Task Force is up and they're studying logistics in a contested area....oh and a full hypersonics battery this fall
Story here
In light of what the Army is bringing to the table with actual firepower, coupled with a very powerful ISR net in the Pacific region without putting troops on the ground "within the engagement zone of enemy fires" then what does the Marine Littoral Regiment bring that the 1st MDTF doesn't? The USAF is already working on setting up its own FARPs and the Navy has something called flight decks on most of its ships. Tell me how this recon/counter recon is a game changer again?
