Why is Aug 22 - 26 considered a concern for the Ukraine/Russia war?
How far into our warstocks are we dipping into to supply Ukraine?
So what's the Pentagon play here? Get rid of everything not nailed down to force Congress to buy the latest and greatest? Sounds good but there is risk in that. It should be obvious to all that peer/near peer warfare gobbles up ammo/vehicles/men at an alarming rate.INBOX: Pentagon has provided a breakdown of the capabilities included in the new $775 million weapons aid package for Ukraine. The latest deal is the 19th drawdown of equipment from DoD inventories.

If the predicted war with China arrives all they'll have to do is fight it different than how the Pentagon apparently is planning for.
Drag it out.
From the looks of things if the war is China is anything but sharp and SHORT then we'll simply run out of everything...with a limited ability (because of our industry) to resupply.
We've got alot of work to do before we're ready to tangle with China...or else we better hope Area 51 has some magical toys.

Someone tried to assassinate "Putin's brain"?
Been watching the purge of top Russian leadership and its a concern. What is going on? Does full operational control of that country still exist? So many leaders in key roles have been killed that (in addition to this one) that my eyebrows are fully raised. A bit more on the attack.BREAKING: Car explosion that killed daughter of Aleksandr Dugin, who is often called "Putin's brain," was caused by a bomb, officials say

- On highway near Moscow
- Car exploded while driving
- Darya Dugina was killed
- Her father: Putin ally Alexander Dugin
- Dugin was supposed to be in the car
- Went with someone else at the last moment
One thing I sincerely hope is that these "issues" can't be traced back to a NATO country. If it can (and if outside forces are involved I have a few suspects) then this thing could get messy real quick and not in a good way.Sevastopol and the Black Sea Fleet are under attack for the third night. In Albania, soldiers were injured while stopping Russian spies from entering a military facility. In Russia, Dugin's daughter died in a probable assassination attempt against him. The night is tense.

Greece is exiting the EU’s enhanced surveillance framework
Interesting."August 20, 2022 is a historic day for Greece and for all Greeks: Our country is exiting the EU’s enhanced surveillance framework."

I might be reading this all wrong but from my chair, Greece suffered economic pain by integrating into the EU. Because of the pain all kinds of loans/bailouts were issued with some pretty severe stipulations.
With this exit they're regaining their "freedom".
Financial slavery while not as painful as physical slavery is still slavery.
Many Americans are slaves. Greece was a slave but can see a bit of freedom ahead.
Be like Greece. Stop chasing the latest and greatest. Embrace a spartan lifestyle (or at least stop being led by clever advertising campaigns) and DO YOU!

An increase that great just by going to heavy oil? Didn't know that was a thing. If so then why hasn't it been done before?CCTV informed yesterday that the 🇨🇳CH-4 UCAV made its first flight with a Heavy oil engine (probably a DB416 "Skylark" engine from Anhui Airlines X Aviation Power Equipment Co Ltd)

Updated, fully painted, modification of the Chinese amphibious aircraft AVIC AG600...Why are we dicking around with putting floats on a C-130? If China can do it so can we...or at least buy Japanese!

The Chinese economy is experiencing a near-complete collapse? Is this Twitter Thread true?
Read the whole Twitter Thread...sounds like a real-estate bubble and we've gone thru those...they're recoverable...hard but recoverable.

Nearly half a million customers have lost their deposits as the banks lent indiscriminately to housing developers who are now facing cascading defaults.
Here’s the story the Chinese Govt. doesn't want you to know 👇
The Holosun 508T is pure fire!
Never thought that the "circle - dot" would actually be a gamechanger on a platform this small but I WAS WRONG!
Quick sight alignment at the 15, got it locked in and then it was a few rapid fire drills from the 25 on in.
Laser!
Faster target acquisition and more importantly placing shots on target (where I want the hits to be...remember body armor is a thing for the baddies so head and groin shots are essential...center mass is so yesterday).
Gotta see how it performs at the 50 and even run a few drills at the 100 to get a feel for long distance shots (don't laugh...we did it in the Marine Corps...and quite a few Sheriffs Depts run the drill not for qualification but for "knowledge" and worst case scenarios).
Overall I'm beyond pleased.
The fit and finish is spot on. The casing seems bomb proof although I'll do my best to never test it.
This thing is a winner.
BUT! Just found out Holosun is shipping their enclosed optic now. I'm gonna have to see a real justification for moving on from this one though.
I think I'm sold.

Is it time to consider the idea of replacing the Weapons Company with a UAV Company? Don't laugh. If we're talking about suicide drones then it kinda makes sense huh?
Let me stir the pot and piss you off. Ukraine is only staying in the fight because of foreign aid & provided ISR...otherwise they'd be done!
Let me get this out the way first.
I don't believe that the fighting in Ukraine has ANY bearing on future fights.
Additionally I don't have a dawg in this fight and believe that no matter who "wins" that country is gonna be dog meat for the next two decades AT LEAST.
Having said that Ukraine is only in this fight because of foreign aid & provided ISR.
If it wasn't for that then this war would have been over long ago.
I can't help but imagine that we have military advisors on secure communications with Kyiv on an HOURLY basis.
In short. If its true and the Russians do get augmented with Iranian drones then you will see more Ukrainian artillery taken out of the fight. More of those small infantry units being found, fixed and destroyed.
That is the weakness with the Russian way of war ... they didn't properly account for how quickly they'd run out of UAVs.
But that's my opinion.
As far as how I see this war at this time? Ukraine is trying to hold every piece of ground. Russia is pushing, probing and attacking just to keep them on their toes.
Russia is waiting for winter.
When the snow hits the ground is when this thing goes from being static to quite active.
Watch my words. This thing is gonna get hotter real soon.
