AU-220M 57mm Automatic Weapon Station

Le char Leclerc

 

The initial evacuation was "easy" (professionals make hard stuff look easy...they were great) but the next is gonna be crazy!

 Interesting.

Many readers were saying that they just evacuated embassy personnel and they were right.

So that means many US and other nationals are still in Sudan.

I just heard on the news (stated earlier by readers), that a naval force is being assembled to truck (by road!) foreign nationals out of that country.

Can you imagine that cluster?

Supposedly the Pentagon contacted both sides and warned them not to take shots at our aircraft but wars like this attract terrorist like flies to shit.

Additionally Russia has been playing nice with us despite the sanctions but this could be an easy pressure point for them.

Supply a few crazies with some stingers, anti-tank weapons and take shots at the convoy rushing people to the coast to be evacuated.

The crazy thing is that even that little bitty Tank Platoon that once floated on MEUs along with the LAV-25s would be useful (assuming they're gonna even put forces on the ground to escort...could they try and do it from the air with a rolling cap?).

The die is cast so I'll just wait and see how they do this thing.

Wow.

Not talk of the SAS/SBS in this op.  I guess they were busy in Ukraine.

But for the rest.

16 Air Assault Brigade.  Royal Marines.  RAF.  Bigger than I thought it would be but ya know what?  It kinda makes sense.  This is what the UK would be asked to provide for a joint op. Correction.  This is probably what SOCOM asked the UK to provide.

Special Ops did the deed in Sudan....USMC MEU nowhere to be seen...

The MAGTF is dead. Long live SOCOM!

Ray Epps on 60 Minutes...

In conservative media, Ray Epps is a notorious villain, responsible for turning the protests on January 6 into a riot. It is a convoluted conspiracy theory he denies. He’s now in hiding, facing death threats.

I look forward to seeing this.

The only real question I have is why doesn't the FBI want to talk about this dude or even his activities before the chaos and why hasn't he been arrested for the part he played on that day.

We're living in the land of illusion folks.  It's gone beyond the old KGB "living in the land of mirrors", its full blown intel agencies pushing agendas now.

From what I've seen the DOJ certainly and the FBI probably are no longer to be trusted.

That's a shame too.  The FBI has always done shady shit but its always been toward the view of protecting the country (sorta).

I don't have high hopes for this production though.  I believe its another agenda item.  The House is sniffing around this guy hard and I believe this is probably part of a campaign to purify his image before he gets dragged before the bright shiny lights.

My prediction was correct. The US embassy has been evacuated...

Told ya they'd do it this weekend.

Good God!

The Pentagon follows a script that I'm beginning to glob onto.  

1.  They raise an issue on the skimpy coverage of worldwide news on US main stream media broadcasts.  That primes the pump to let the public know that action in a certain location is possible.

2.  The White House announces that troops are being moved to a certain location to show the Commander In Chief is an alpha and that he is on the situation that suddenly got raised in the media.

3.  The members of this blog already know the deal with all of the above.  If you're not active duty keep up with your brothers that are.  If they start moving unexpectedly then you know shit is up.  

4.  Understand that the announced "movement of forces" has been completed before news has even broken.  

5.  Understand that while the troops are moving the various shops are working out the planning of said operation.

6.  Expect that you will get NO real news of events on the ground. Journalism is dead.  The military has learned to control the narrative (the only fucking thing they learned from our defeats from Vietnam to Somalia to Beirut to Syria to Afghanistan) so we will get tailored news of a SUCCESSFUL op.

7.  Keep eyes open for units involved and body counts of forces that are involved in a fight (meaning between govt and insurgent forces fighting there).  That will give a great idea on whether we escaped without a scratch or if someone got nicked up, fucked up or killed....or if we did the nicking up, the fucking someone up or killing.

8.  OPEN SOURCE IS AWESOME.  

WE ONCE DID THIS ALL THE TIME!  I MISS IT!  TOO MANY YES BOYS HAVE INVADED THE BLOG...AND...I made the turn to politics.  Perhaps, not at all sure but perhaps that was a mistake.  Plotting the moves of Defense Depts/Ministry Of Defense is so much more fun.
