Alexander The Great was buried alive?

 

Ben Wallace called Zelensky on his bullshit. Once again Zelensky forgot his place...

Thanks to Duke 7 for the link!

 

Zelensky is reading too many of his own fawning press. Dude doesn't know his place. Doesn't realize that he's a pawn and is pissing off the hand that feeds him.

Alot of people on this blog don't like to hear it, but ...

1.  Zelensky is an imaginary hero.  Nothing about him screams leadership.  This appears to be just another acting role for him.  The combat/fatigue shirts?  The beard?  Dude is playing a role.

2.  Didn't realize it till I read this tweet and did a little digging, but alot of people in the UK (just like in the US) are little miffed about all the money/gear going to Ukraine. I guess every country has X-country first faction.

3.  He leads (extremely small quotation marks on the word leads) a complete donor nation.  Its just not munitions, military equipment etc...its also funding to pay for the govt, social services AND pay for the Ukrainian military.

To expect a little gratitude instead of constant demands is NOT asking too much.

But the humble and the ungrateful can't put something that simple together.

Biden is starting to prime the pump that this will be a LONG war (for the modern USA is there any other kind?) but I don't believe the citizens of the West will accept that.

Zelensky better rework his approach to the West or he'll lose support.

This thing is gonna sell worldwide...consider this lost market share.  Our defense contractors better turn to building what the market place needs, not just what the US military wants.


OK. I'm getting a little pissed. How is Turkey running rings around the US/Europe/China and Russia? These dudes are pushing forward with unmanned air and ground vehicles at a break neck pace. They're about to make an assault carrier into an unmanned air vehicle carrier and saturate the sky with expendable but lethal aircraft.

The terrible thing?

We thought of all this shit at least two decades ago but the projects went no where!

Oh and that's just unmanned systems.  Look at their ground vehicles?  You like the JLTV?  I do too, but the Turks have the same class vehicle that is like a rolling porcupine.

We have lost our imagination.  We have lost our innovation.

We keep waiting for leap ahead tech while others are leaping ahead of us by ACTUALLY DOING WORK NOW!  Utilizing the tech we have today!

We need better military leaders that stop killing projects and will get stuff from the drawing board across the finish line.

Our military budget is too high for us to be so lacking in so many areas.  Let me repeat.  The Turks will have a jet attack drone while the Navy is struggling to get a refueling drone.

Are we back to leading from behind?

Ok. This looks like a safety standdown for the Italian Navy...

Another Day, Another Crash. Happened Yesterday at Italian Navy Air Base, during preflight check on a MH-90, don't have more details about it

Interesting. Have you checked out the Italian Navy? They have one of the most well balanced and unrecognized naval powerhouse in Europe. Quite honestly I would put them at least equal if not a bit better than the Royal Navy. Ever met those guys? They're good. Real good. Real deal pros. If you want a force that brings alot to a potential fight in the Pacific, at least from a Navy/Marine view point, then you'd be a fool not to try and get the Italians to join in.

Extremely impressive flexibility

The Pacific. And you wonder why so many Marines go native...

Can't be aesthetic and lift HEAVY

I'm talking about REAL HEAVY.  To lift mega weight you gotta get mega sized!

Not into Shiva at all (but the mythology is as interesting as the Greek versions) but having said that, this is indeed oddly terrifying. If I was a believer this would definitely serve as a sign.
