Od godzin porannych w podwarszawskich lasach można napotkać kociaki z rodziny leopardów.🐆

Osobniki tego gatunku każdego dnia przemierzają okoliczne tereny wykonując np. gwałtowne skoki, szybkie i skryte przemieszczanie czy obserwację.#SZKOLENIE #JEDYNApancerna#Leopard2 pic.twitter.com/uamqqgj1yC
We're working with the Dutch Army to upgrade their fleet of 144 #CV90s from steel to rubber tracks. What sounds like a small change has a huge benefit when it comes to crew conditions and running costs.

La Légion étrangère se modernise et son instruction avec! Au cours de leur formation au #4RE, les sergents du #2REP et de la #13DBLE se spécialisent sur le tout nouveau GRIFFON. Une fois dompté, ils le feront rugir sur les théâtres d'opérations de la #LegionEtrangere.#CapaciTerre pic.twitter.com/zCDM0h08Ri

What happens if the Chinese response to Berger's concept is to attack them directly with their own air assault teams? What if the Chinese decide to make their Marines "aviation centric" so that they can directly assault these forward operating bases/refueling-rearming points and anti-ship missile batteries?
Quite honestly that would be the best of all possibilities.
I fully expect the Chinese to at best locate, isolate and destroy in order these units with massive missile/artillery strikes.
The worst case scenario is that they locate, attack in detail and kill/capture American Marines with the intent to demoralize our efforts.
I don't think they're quite as barbaric as the Japanese during WW2 but if fangs are out it might be hard to control a few hardcore Chinese Marines...
Could the fate of this Australian Commando at the hands of a Japanese Imperial Soldier be shared by a future Marine if Berger's plan is carried out?
Hope not...hope I'm not around to see it...but I definitely see the possibilities...
Forward, isolated, for all intents and purposes surrounded, no support and very much at the mercy of the enemy.

#BreakingNews The #Indian Air Force has just conducted its longest range BrahMos strike mission. A Su-30MKI took off from a Punjab air base, refuelled mid-air and struck a ship target 4,000 km away deep in the Indian Ocean. Target destroyed.

I read alot of the comments on this blog. I drink in all the various view points and try my best to keep it balanced/fair.
One thing has me mystified.
Many are worried that Trump will fail this fall. I think its possible. Things definitely don't look good.
So let me get in an early post mortem.
The Republican Party and its base failed because it did not embrace the future by getting behind candidates like John James. The dude is stellar. Has a beautiful family, gorgeous kids. He's well spoken. Went to Ranger School, was an Apache Pilot and is a combat vet.
He's also African American.
The issue?
He has Republican values. He has a conservative viewpoint. He thinks like I do and he has an awesome resume.
His biggest problem in the Republican Party of 2020?
He looks like me. He's black. Some members of this party can't get past the idea that you can have someone that is on your side but isn't of your same race.
If the Republican lose this will be why. They're making their club exclusive while the Dems are making it inclusive.
Geez.
This isn't making the news (at least in a big way...at least from my chair) but Philadelphia Police are under siege!
Maybe I'm just jaded but I really have to ask what you folks that live in big cities are thinking.
I get it. Night life. City lights. All that jazz. I really do get it.
But the downsides seem to be many and increasing.
I really don't know the answer to any of this stuff except to move away but forget that.
For those that do live in big cities how are you managing during these "interesting" times.
