Tell me again how its so essential to send billions overseas when we have this madness at home....MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!!!

Happy 4th to all (except the Brits)

Open Comment Post. 4 July 2023

US diplomacy. Symbolism over substance.

How can you negotiate if you won't even listen to what your opponent has to say? How can an agreement be reached if you stance is "my way or the highway"? The state dept is broken beyond recovery. We need a whole new set of diplomats. A purge of the current staff is needed.

Macron has relented. Emergency law coming soon.

 

This is the last thing that Macron wanted to do but events have forced his hand. I thought it would come earlier but he held out. Macron knows that this will spell the end of his presidency and will cause a wave of law & order candidates to come into office. His dream of what France should be is all but dead.

The petrodollar is under attack and no one is noticing...

This will affect us all but all I hear is people downplaying this thing. Noble (a reader of this blog) first put me onto this and I've been watching it ever since. This is the basis for our wild and wooly foreign policy and our efforts to prop this thing up are failing badly.

My warning to you?

If unchecked with our diplomatic efforts (which are failing too), you will see a series of fights worldwide in order to re-establish the dollars dominance.

Our lives are gonna change too.  Our current economic system is based on the dollars dominance and if it goes away then the massive reset that some are talking about is all but guaranteed.  

A horrific story about laxity in combat and not doing the basics...

 

Check out the entire Twitter thread. Laxity will get you killed. Discipline and perfecting the basics is ESSENTIAL!

Is this true? 33rd Mechanized Brigade refuses to carry out combat operations because they believe command is wasting their lives...

 

If this is true then fucking WOW~! We're seeing a basic breakdown of discipline. I don't recall exactly but I know refusing an order to perform a combat mission in the Marine Corps is some SERIOUS shit.

Like spend the rest of your life in the brig shit.  The kind that will get you labeled in the history of the Corps shit.

We are definitely in the land of mirrors with regard to the Ukraine/Russia war. We don't know what's actually going on and bad news can't be verified so it remains a mystery.

Leopard 2A6 is taking a beating on the battlefield and now pundits are questioning its "rep" as the best tank in the West...

Leopard 2A6 Main Battle Tank. OVERRATED!!!
 

Ukraine's Carpathian Battalion (Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and Argentina Volunteers)

 

Kinda curious about the volunteers in this war. Why? Because "fighting for freedom" sounds cool but you have bills at home that need to be paid. So long story short? Who is paying these guys, how much are they making and how much is the death benefit if one of them get blasted? Oh and spare me. Its 2023. Ain't shit for free. Someone is paying and it has to be at least decent money.
