Happy Easter

Ponzinibbio talked about CRUSHING Holland. Life comes hard when you talk shit you can't back up!

Israel Adesanya brought the pain!

 

French President Macron wants Europe to reduce its dependency on the US and become an "autonomous third superpower.”

 

Wow.

Europe is not to be trusted.  Full stop.  THEY ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED!

They're using the US and because so many of our elites have this deep yearning to be "European" they are led by the nose into acting like the US and EU are one and the same.

We are not.

Note that this is in the middle of the Ukrainian/Russian war.  A war that so many of our European allies say is for worldwide democracy.

You don't have to agree with me but make note of this.  Europe needs to be cut off now and we need to pursue an HARDCORE AGENDA of looking after ONLY US INTERESTS TODAY (and that has nothing to do with the EU/Ukraine or any other hanger's on!).

Are you seeing this shit around Taiwan?

 Are you seeing this shit around Taiwan?

Know your enemy and make note of his capabilities.

China just surged 71 warships, numerous merchant ships and their Coast Guard along with aircraft and untold number of ground based mobile missile systems (with the range to hit Taiwan) super quick.

Drink that in.

We have just under 300 warships in our Navy.

China just surged 71 of theirs in short order.  Could we surge almost 1/3rd of our warships as fast?

Additionally we have no idea of the number of subs either.  We don't know the number of other important combat vehicles/aircraft/ships (or combat capable) that are floating out there either.

The DoD, Congress and others are talking about war with China without taking a serious look at our own forces.

Sorry.

You can push the woke agenda all day.  You can beat the drum that tech will win out over steely resolve and the ability to close with and destroy the enemy but I don't buy it.

We better get hard.

With all the shit talking I'm hearing we better get hard quick!

Let's not fool ourselves.  The US President, the US Congress, the US Dept Of Defense, US State Dept, each and every military service, and the American people are not ready for the fight so many are asking for.

What does China think about Force Design 2030.

via Proceedings. 
According to Tianying, the reconnaissance fight requires the integrated use of space, air, and sea assets to continuously conduct focused and close surveillance of the waters and airspace around Taiwan, especially nearby islands. Despite potential difficulties in detecting distributed, low-signature forces, the range of their deployments will be dictated largely by the maximum range of HIMARS and antiship missiles. These must be deployed within several hundred kilometers of the island of Taiwan or the mainland if they are to interfere with a Chinese attempt at armed unification. Potential deployment areas include Japan’s Sakishima Islands (the southernmost end of the Ryukyu island chain, including the islands of Miyako and Yaeyama), the Babuyan Islands (a Philippine archipelago located in the Luzon Strait), other strait-adjacent islands in the first island chain, and potentially even Pratas Atoll (controlled by Taiwan). The author argues that areas farther from this region are not significant for PLA operations focused on Taiwan.

Furthermore, Tianying claims it will be difficult for EABs to stay hidden in the first island chain. Islands are fixed positions, and China’s growing constellation of high-resolution observation satellites, with resolutions of 0.5 meters or less, should be capable of identifying maritime surface and ground targets.14 Even if Marines can avoid satellite detection, useful locations are within range of the PLA’s aerial reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities. The PLA’s growing unmanned aerial vehicle inventory provides long-endurance observation, monitoring, tracking, and strike capabilities from hundreds of kilometers away. These can be used to monitor likely EAB sites adjacent to the near seas, fill in gaps of satellite coverage, and guide PLA long-range precision-guided weapons. Equipped with only light air defenses, he argues, EAB forces that are found can be targeted quickly by numerous land, sea, or air-based fires.15

China turns up the pressure on Taiwan...

I'm not a law of the sea guy but China says that it will inspect ships going to Taiwan. I know that we regularly inspect ships in the Persian Gulf and off the coast of Africa looking for weapon shipments. What are we doing? Intercepting weapons from Iran to some group we don't like. We seize those weapons too. With that being said could China seize our shipments to Taiwan, hold them for a few months to rip them apart and put back together and then let them through and declare it a health and safety issue to protect their environment from pests? Just spitballing here and running thru a couple of scenarios out loud.
