Western wheeled vehicles are having mixed results in Ukraine...driver training is essential

The above vid says it all. Wheeled vehicles just can't blast thru obstacles, mud, bogs etc...the way that tracked vehicles can. Judging from most of the vehicle incidents I've seen they're gonna have to emphasize driving training to the max in the future. Beyond the obvious I can't wait to see how the reports read for wheeled vehicles after the conflict.

The leader of Wagner takes a pic in front of about a platoon of dead fighters and yells to the Russian defense chief asking where are the shells

Wagner is turning into a problem for the Russian military. This is pretty intense though. If you remember the US made a go with PMCs and probably still do (don't know, lost interest and not following the job postings) but I kinda figured it would be the way to go into the future with recruiting being so difficult. Maybe it is and maybe this is just a Russian problem, I don't know. I do believe that if we make a run at using PMCs for actual trigger pulling jobs in the big fight coming in Africa then they're gonna have to setup so intense rules (for order, coordination, etc...) and to get guys to sign up they're gonna have to provide the same level of support they do to conventional units. Otherwise we'll see this with say (just using as an example) the Triple Canopy CEO barking at Austin wondering where the air support/medivac was. *Rush job. Deal with it.

Israeli Air Force tried to be cute for "May the 4th be with you"...I wonder if they know?

I get it. All services try and get cute for pop culture. But the IAF kinda messed this one up. A TIE fighter? That's the bird the bad guys fly! They need a better social media crew!

Ukraine just received its 37th drawdown of US munitions and equipment...

 

Our reserve is gone. I'm not even sure (I don't believe) that we have enough munitions for two major regional wars. Additionally we've put our allies in a difficult position too. Not talking about any European country either. I'm talking about nations that face credible threats. Countries like Israel, S. Korea and Japan. They've also had their stockpiles reduced to support Ukraine.

Has anyone considered that the Hyper Focus on Ukraine might be making the rest of the world more dangerous for our allies?  Oh and make no mistake about it.  Ukraine isn't an ally, its at best a protectorate.

The new "tanker wars" is a prime example of how views are easily twisted

If you've been paying attention, the Biden administration is catching heat because they haven't responded to Iran seizing two tankers within a week.

Apparently some foreign policy wonks are wanting some type of action.  What type of action I don't know but the outrage is easy to see.

What they fail to acknowledge is that this whole thing kicked off because the US Navy seized an Iranian tanker headed to China!

We are living in a world of manufactured confusion and half truths.

Chemical explosion in China. Almost nuclear like mushroom cloud

 

If Houston, Lake Charles, Mobile or a few other cities with huge chemical plants every explode here in the US then it will be absolute carnage. We literally have MOABS waiting to go off in some of our cities.

This is too stupid to be believed. NATO is livid as Ukraine carelessly stockpiled US and EU weapons in a few well known locations. Russia launched a massive missile attack against those sites last night

Now for the batshit crazy talk that I expect from Zelensky, that will have to be reined in by adults (do we have any in Washington) before this thing spirals uncontrollably. They're talking about conducting deep strikes into Russia against water, power sites etc... There you have it boys and girls. This war is gonna drag on thru this year into our Presidential cycle. What should worry the Ukrainians is that the Russians are stockpiling munitions right now. I believe that they, along with Chinese are gonna make a major push to fully retake those 3 pro Russian provinces and to reinforce Crimea while hammering Ukrainian forces where ever they find them. What am I saying? I'm saying that the Chinese are covertly arming Russia and that it will be plain for all to see in 2024. Additionaly because of what we're seeing from the Iranians lately I would guess that they're doing the same with an eye toward Israel. Our Gulf partners will probably sit on the sidelines of that conflict and we will have two regional wars. 2024 is gonna be crazy.

Heads up. There is a low grade tanker war going on in the Persian Gulf...

Background on this bullshit. THE US NAVY seized an Iranian tanker on its way to China. The Iranians retaliated by seizing an oil tanker. Don't know if we seized an additional tanker but now we see the Iranians have seized ANOTHER one. Who is coming up with this? I'm positive that the Chinese are evaluating whether or not to send a few of their destroyers to escort their oil shipments. The US Navy is NOT ready for this challenge. The Marine Littoral Regiment is not equipped to "deter" this type activity (nor will it be in the future). What does this illustrate? From my chair it validates my talking point. The flash point between the US and China will NOT be the Pacific but WILL BE in the Middle East or Africa over resources!

Motorcycle "powered" armed robbery

This is huge in S. America and from what I've seen from videos its really bad in Brazil and Mexico. My question? How soon before it starts hitting up here in the US. My dept uses Ford SUVs for patrol (a few sedans for administrative purposes) but if you've ever chased a motorcycle then you know they make the almost perfect get away machine. 

 Their acceleration is tops, they're extremely maneuverable and even if you run into slow or stopped traffic the chase goes on because they lane split and can easily navigate sidewalks etc...The only real way to stop it is to have armed citizens detecting and then neutralizing the threat. 

 Of course that means that you're gonna have to put down the cell phone if you're walking (yeah, they go as far as to steal your phones and what cash you have on you), turn down the radio and get your head up if you're in a vehicle and for all to basically get your head up and be alert to threats.

For some its too much to ask but the threat is looming and the public should get ready for it.

Quite honestly I'm looking for a country spin to it in my area.  Even in urban areas ATVs are extremely popular.  Individuals tune those little beasts up to 11 and they're much much faster than you can imagine.  Add to it the ability to carry up to 4 people and you can see virtual robbery squads rolling around.

They don't have the extreme maneuverability of a motorcycle on pavement but they have a distinct advantage off road...especially against the SUVs used by the State Police, Sheriff's Depts & Police which are lowered for higher speed (beefed up engines too...those puppies can fly!).

This is coming in the next crime wave in the US.  Get ready now!
