IS “FORCE DESIGN 2030” A DEATH SENTENCE FOR THE MARINE CORPS?

 via CONTRA FRAME

THE FALLOUT & LEVERAGE POINTS

Increased Risk of Institutional Decline


• By sacrificing core capabilities, the Marine Corps is slowly eliminating what makes it distinct.


• No tanks, less artillery, reduced air support, and weaker infantry formations mean the Corps starts looking more like a small, under-equipped Army unit.


• If the Marine Corps can’t deliver unique capabilities, why should it exist as a separate branch?

The "New" Force Design Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) is just plain pathetic. Weak, weak, weak combat power. The Marine Corps is diminished

"Let those peasants in the United States wail in front of the 5,000 years of Chinese civilization."

We got us some real bullshit talking now. Pass the popcorn this is about to get spicy. Does the store beat the customer or does the customer beat the store? China is flailing a bit now. Have you watched the vids of how they're basically destroying luxury brands? This is gonna probably cost but its gonna be fun to watch.

Are the tariffs pushing up China's attack plans against Taiwan?

If the people become restless because of job losses (and we have indications of layoffs occuring already)/wage cuts then what does the regime do? Well wars are always a convient distraction. It appears that Xi might be pushing that card. The other option (don't know if the person that wrote this tweet agrees) is a massive crackdown. Tiananmen Square style. That would be horrible visuals for a modern, moderating China though and alot harder to sell than Taiwan reunification.

Prelude to the big fight. 4 Chinese coast guard vessels have been spotted breaching restricted waters near Taiwan's Kinmen islands

Put it together folks! The Marine Corps started its ill fated "Force Design 2030" a few years ago citing "the pacing threat". China has accelerated not only its conventional military modernization but now its nuclear modernization. Now? For the past two years we've seen more and more action around Taiwan. You still believe the tariffs are just about the economy? No! It's about reducing the reliance on China for manufacturing. Its about girding ourselves for the big fight that's coming. These aren't economic moves. They're the preliminary moves in preparation for the big fight. Sidenote. Why bring the F-47 out of the dark? Why is the Navy moving full speed ahead with the FA/XX? More warning shots across China's bow. Sometime before 2030 its gonna suck to be a sailor or aircrew in the Pacific. Rand predicts 2 carriers and 2500 servicemembers lost. Rand is being optimistic.

Russia claims to have shot down an F-16.

 

If true this is somewhat disturbing. Supposedly we have total ELINT coverage of the battlefield and along with jamming, along with proper tactics should be keeping this resource for the Ukrainians somewhat safe. Of course the Ukrainians have appeared to be somewhat careless in how they're using the aid provided to them so who knows. I await more info.

The tariffs against China is just the prelude to the coming big fight...

 Everyone is going crazy over tariffs but it had to be done.

America had to get manufacturing back on shore.  It had to reduce dependence on MOSTLY China.  It had to apply pressure worldwide to reduce other countries dependence on China.

We have to make stuff in the US, we have to get the rest of the world off the Chinese manufacturing tit and we have to weaken China economically.

We had to do all this because its the prelude to the coming big fight.

Countries would as Putin says..."when tigers fight, the wise monkey sits and watches".

He's right and that's the danger.  All our allies were becoming more and more dependent on the Chinese.  Too many Middle East and African countries have come to rely on either Chinese investments or purchases.  The same applies in spades to countries in Asia.

We need those countries to pick a side.  Either you side with the biggest consumer market in the world or you side with the biggest manufacturing country.  Its kinda easy.  You make stuff you need someone to buy it.  If you don't then you're stuck with a bunch of stuff.

The tariffs aren't about just economics.  Its a NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE FOR THE USA!

China's vulnerability to tariffs? If factories close in China they're facing a rebellion, high prices in America just pisses people off...

Matt is right. This photo is sad approaching heartbreaking...

I wonder if they ever had a funny feeling. Like some type of subconcious warning that something wasn't right before they took the flight.
