Turkey will lead NATO's high-readiness force in 2021
via UPI
NATO's Very High Readiness Joint Task Force, its quick-deployment unit of 6,400 personnel, will be led in 2021 by Turkey, the military bloc said on Wednesday.
Turkey will take over the responsibility from Poland on Jan. 1, a NATO statement said.
Leadership of the VJTF, which places soldiers on standby status and ready to deploy, rotates annually among NATO members, with the majority of the force's personnel comprised of units from the lead country.
The approximately 4,200 troops of Turkey's 66th Mechanized Infantry Brigade Command, and about 2,200 more from Albania, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Britain and the United States, will serve in the unit.
This will be interesting. VERY interesting.

A final image in 2020 of the second flying FC-31 demonstrator no. '31003' ... so come on SAC, please show us the J-35 in early 2021. 😉

Late Open Comment Post. 31 Dec 2020 (End of the year discussion)...
Hey all. Hope you're well. Can we make this Open Comment Post a discussion about the past year. Good, Bad, Middle and Terrible?
I'm curious about everyone's impression of how things went from a PERSONAL perspective.

Wow.
How long has it been since I posted on Syria? What's happened in the meantime? I saw news that the Israelis conducted a couple of strikes and killed a few troops around Damascus. The Russians had their troops attacked by Turkish backed gangs. And now this.
The conflict that nobody wants to win just keeps on going...

2020 is bad. 536 AD was worse...
That's what I don't get about climatologist. Global Warming (if true...still have doubts) might be bad but global cooling will have the potential to eradicate human life on this planet.
Even worse?
Just as I suspect global warming is outside of our control it is without a doubt that global cooling is. One or two huge volcanoes go off and its putting the planet in a hurt locker.
Failing crops in poor regions will kill millions if not billions. We'll have to scramble to develop the infrastructure to grow food with greatly reduced sunlight.
If you think about it, our existence on this planet is hanging by a thread on a daily basis.
