Pakistan downed one Rafale fighter jet operated by the Indian Air Force (IAF)

 via CNN

A high-ranking French intelligence official told CNN that Pakistan downed one Rafale fighter jet operated by the Indian Air Force (IAF), in what would mark the first time that one of the sophisticated French-made warplanes has been lost in combat. Pakistan had claimed to have shot down five IAF jets in retaliation for Indian strikes, including three Rafales. Indian officials are yet to respond to the claim.

WOW!

If Pakistan knocked down an Indian Rafale with a Chinese jet this will send shockwaves thru the French version of our DoD.  It will tank sales in a heartbeat. I need more info!

Ukraine's Army is preventing Zelensky from making peace?

A reader sent me this and I forgot to note his name. Apologies and thanks!

The commander of the Ukrainian army, Robert Brovdi "Madyar", on behalf of a million armed soldiers, issued an ultimatum to Zelensky, forbidding him to negotiate with Russians and make territorial concessions.

This is stunning.

An Army that is engaged in a peer war doesn't want peace?  Doesn't want the fighting to end after years?  This ain't the guys on the ground talking.  This is another hand exerting pressure.  The generals might be bought but the guys on the ground are taking hits they shouldn't.

I haven't done an update on the fighting in Ukraine but put it like this.  Ukraine damn sure ain't winning and it could be described as "just holding on".

I wonder how many will recognize the greatness of this pic!

Get your mind right. You don't know what tough is if you have a roof over your head and food to eat...

Democrats are floundering in the polls

🚨 DEMOCRATS: "The country turned on Trump! The voters have buyer's remorse! We told you!"

FINALLY some are seeing the real plantation...

The Democrat Party FOOLED the black community.

They sold us dependency, destroyed our self-reliance, and locked up our vote without delivering real change. Decades later, we’re still complaining—and they’re still doing nothing.

Ahhh but it goes deeper. When the rap industry is shaping the culture, when crime is not punished, when work is not respected...there is alot more to talk about. SA is finally wrapping his head around this. Hope others do too. Dirty secret? The black community does better when "an enemy" is in the White House. Every so called "friend" has just added to the grief (Obama, Biden and yeah even Bush Jr).

Damn Trump. You're doing too much now son!

Stop it bro. The economy needs changing. The borders need securing. The waste and fraud in govt needs to eradicated. But now you're touching on some basic shit that EVERYONE has grown up on and for what? Just to be doing something? Someone close to him needs to tell him to knock it off and concentrate on the basics that won him the election. He's moving to doing Democrat shit.

The back story is that the guy that got shot knew that the other one had a gun on him. The motion was that the guy was trying to strong arm the gun from him, grabbed him, the other guy slipped out of the hold and then the strong arm dude got the bright idea that it wasn't gonna work. Things flipped hard on him and now (within micro seconds) he knew he was the hunted. Gun guy circles and shoots and kills him. Weird sad, pathetic thing? This was the big Amazon warehouse in Baton Rouge. They built it in the hood to give the area economic development. Its not working out too good but they're trying (for now). Oh and all of the above is just from rumors on the street. NONE OF IT is official.

Hegseth tasks Army to transform to leaner, more lethal force. Is the US Army doing a "Force Design 2030"????

 via DVIDS

“The President gave us a clear mission: achieve Peace through Strength,” he said. “To achieve this, the United States Army must prioritize defending our homeland and deterring China in the Indo-Pacific region. Deterring war, and if required, winning on the rapidly evolving battlefield requires Soldiers who are physically and mentally resilient, rigorously trained, and equipped with the best technology available.”

.....

Hegseth directed Driscoll to field long-range missiles capable of striking moving land and maritime targets and to achieve electromagnetic and air-littoral dominance by 2027.

.....

The Army will increase its forward presence in the Indo-Pacific by expanding pre-positioned stocks, rotational deployments, and exercises with allies and partners to enhance strategic access, basing, and overflight. 

.....

 To maximize efficiency, accelerate modernization, and pay for the Army transformation within existing resources, Hegseth said Driscoll will end the procurement of obsolete systems and cancel or scale back ineffective or redundant programs, including manned aircraft, excess ground vehicles and outdated Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).

The Army will reduce spending on legacy sustainment, including outdated weapons systems and unnecessary climate-related initiatives, Hegseth said.

Read it all here. 

This is concerning.  I'm asking my readers to READ between the lines on this announcement.

The ENTIRE PENTAGON NOW is tilting toward a war with China on or around 2027.

No "ifs" or "buts" about it.  Even our premier ground service is being tilted toward a war with China.

What is particularly concerning to me is that he's tasking the Army to do what Berger did to the Marine Corps.  Jettison gear now to "pay" for modernization?  

That leads to SERIOUS GAPS IN CAPABILITIES!

My biggest concern is that historically, great powers NEVER DIRECTLY ENGAGE WITH EACH OTHER!  They use proxies or cut outs.  Making a complete tilt to fighting in  China's backyard will leave us vulnerable to a fight elsewhere (I'm still looking at Africa as being the next battleground).

In short?

Our leadership (in this case the Trump administration) is betting it all on getting the fight they want in the location they want.

That's a huge gamble.

Maybe they have intel that is informing this decision.  If they don't then we're gonna be caught so flat footed its gonna hurt...hurt bad.

 

Ever hear about a dude named "Dr Satan"?

In Nazi-occupied Paris, the most feared killer wasn’t the Gestapo.

It was a local doctor. He promised Jews safe passage.

Then butchered them in his basement and dissolved the bodies in acid.
