Lithium leach field
So instead of climate change (which I still doubt that man is contributing to) we get poisoned water...with the added benefit of procuring the wonderful car batteries from countries that can ill afford to have their water damaged? We're virtue signaling while killing others...we're virtue signaling while destroy the environment of other people's countries. Well done. A few guilty people get to feel better by wrecking other people's shit.
This is a Lithium leach field. This is what your Electric Car batteries are made of. It is so neuro-toxic that a bird landing on this stuff dies in minutes. Take a guess what it does to your nervous system?

JS IZUMO conducted a Japan-Mexico goodwill exercise with the ARM BENITO JUAREZ and ARM USUMACINTA in vicinity of Hawaii.
Note. I keep talking about how the MEU should have been reinforced. Adding HIMARS with anti-ship missiles would have allowed this concept to go forward without totally ripping apart the Marine Corps. YA KNOW! The way the US Army is doing to flex into the Pacific!!! A modern day LST (which you see sailing for the Mexican Navy) would have been perfect. Pump the MEU up to four ships, have the modern day LST capable of breaking off to make runs to the beach to deposit these "Missile Marines" (still don't know why we just don't setup robots to fire missiles on command at these proposed launch sites and monitor from distance to make sure they're not tampered with) and have them do the recon/counter recon thing (launch and die) as currently planned but still being able to handle the traditional missions. But alas. It's not to be. Aviation centric is the way forward but no one noticed that rotary winged aircraft are extremely vulnerable if the Ukraine/Russia war is an example.

Through the exercise, IPD22 improved our tactical skills and deepened its friendship and mutual understanding with the Mexican Navy. #FOIP pic.twitter.com/RZbcM9CPEa
French Navy Landing Craft, Arbalète and the Arquebuse were admitted to active service
Fin juillet, l’Arbalète et l’Arquebuse ont été admises au service actif. Plus grands, plus rapides, plus manœuvrables et plus endurants, ces engins de débarquement amphibie standards (EDA-S) sont la nouvelle génération du chaland de transport de matériel (CTM) ⚓️ pic.twitter.com/PTPeFTeW3b

Empty store shelves again? Is it just rural areas or is this nationwide?
Went to the "Dollar General" to pick up a jar of Tiger Balm.
Empty shelves again.
Not just for Tiger Balm but the entire over the counter med section. Not just that but other parts of the store was empty too.
So we're still dealing with crime, high gas, high food prices, inflation in general, illegal immigration, covid part whatever the number is now, monkey pox, war in Ukraine, rising tensions with China, Israel and Hezbollah going at it again, a world wide terror alert because we killed a terrorist that I thought we had already killed once before etc...
You would think that the world's superpower would have cleared at least a few of these issues off the plate by now.
But what are they concerned with?
Price control on insulin (whatever happened to a campaign to get America healthy...we have a problem with so many youth being too fat to serve that its a security issue now), climate change (which I don't buy...climate has always changed on this planet and to think man can do a thing about it is the height of arrogance in my opinion) and a few sweet heart deals to the Senator from West Virginia!
But back on task.
Shouldn't we be past the empty store shelves look?
Is this just my area?
Alternate view of the Ukraine/Russia War

3d Battalion, 3d Marines conduct fire team attack drills on Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan
If the Marine Corps is flexing into the Stand-In-Force concept & EABO then these skills while practiced today (in the pics below) will atrophy. Guarding missiles and refueling points is a defensive mission. The thought that Marine Corps Infantry will maintain the 'elan to be called upon to perform light infantry tasks is questionable. Dedicated Army Infantry (along with Special Operations most notably Rangers) will soon have more capable and sport a better combined arms team supporting those forces than the Marine Corps will. From better ground mobility, to better direct fire capability, along with more cannon artillery to provide fires and attaching USAF fighter wings, the Marine Corps will go from a flexible, fight anywhere/anytime and in any clime to be relegated to the Pacific, not by desire but by capability. Tying into the Navy so forcefully will further limit opportunities to be called on by the nation in any fight except for one against China. Force Design 2030 is a horrible mistake.
