Another 10 Billion for Ukraine...this time in ECONOMIC assistance...

Notice that Yellin is announcing this. 

So the US is fully supporting the failed state known as Ukraine now, not the war effort but propping up their economy by once again saddling us and more importantly future generations with debt to serve others.

This fight is NOT WORTH THE FUCKING COST! 

We have problems here that desperately need solving. This money wouldn't be better spent at home … instead that cash is going towards Ukraine!  Additionally tell me why the EU is saddling up to take on this responsibility!  Easy, cause the idiot Americans will do it for them!

If I didn't know better (caution I'm about to piss a bunch of you off), I'd think Biden is repaying certain Ukrainians with our treasury and soon enough American blood.

The White House, Pentagon and State Dept have no strategy.  No vision of what this will look like in the end.

This will go badly.

Mark my words.

In America our heroes are never as heroic and our villains (at times) not as evil as we would think..

The civil war continues to fascinate. I've heard all the various reasons for the fight. For some reason we always find ourselves as it being a fight over slavery. I personally reject that.

Opinion. One political stunt just put us behind the nuclear 8-ball...

 I've been raging about the President of the United States going to an active peer vs peer war zone.

I personally thought it was batshit stupid and his security package was probably big as hell, full of Rangers/MARSOC, Delta and SEALs...not to mention the 160th and an Air Force Air Wing.

Putting all that to the side.

Martin said it best in that blog thread.

Russia used this visit as a pretext to pull out of the start treaty.

China and Russia are obviously forming a military alliance of some sort.

So we don't have just China to worry about but if (heaven forbid) a big fight with them goes nuclear, we don't just have to worry about a massive strike from them but also Russia.

We are behind a massive nuclear 8-ball.

So where are we with this ill conceived war in Ukraine with our massive support?

It will linger because no one wants to see the Chinese start fully supplying Russia.  We don't have the manufacturing capacity to support Ukraine while modernizing our military.  Our economy is shaky at best and our debt outrageous.  Our borders leak and we don't know who is coming across (now we're seeing Chinese nationals at our southern border...only God knows what's sneaking in our northern border!).

Plus because of the actions by the Russia, the uncertainty of what the Chinese will do, we will either have to ramp this up massively (with unforeseen consequences) or we will have to slow roll it and drag out this war for a decade.

Neither option is palatable.

We're screwed and historians will point to this stupid photo-op as the starting point of something obscene.

Kitum Cave, Kenya

 

Must see video on the real situation in Ukraine

Thanks to NOBLE for the heads up! 

Note. I've been pounding the table but it hasn't been in support of Russia in this fight. I've been pounding the table that the US/NATO isn't giving its citizens the real deal info on what's going on over there. 

I've talked alot about the reasons for this war, the conduct of the war and how the war is being conducted and messaged. That makes more of a patriot than a villain. If you hate what me and others have been saying then understand that what you really hate is truth. We can't fix that for ya.

 

160th SOAR

I know secret is a thing in SOCOM but we never see or hear a thing about the USAF's Special Ops Wing using V-22's on missions, even on exercise. What's up with those guys? Meanwhile the 160th is zooming all over the place and seem to be everywhere at the same time.

Call me a conspiracy theorist but the number of industry accidents at critical manufacturing plants deserves serious investigation

 

 

I've held my tongue when we saw poultry prices spike while at the same time seeing a series of fires at plants worldwide (to include the US). I've been quiet when monitoring news and we see all kinds of fires/accidents etc...at oil refineries, manufacturing plants of products that are essential for our everyday lives. But this one is a step too far.

Let me add to this a bit.

We KNOW, whether you want to admit it or not, that either the US or UK destroyed the pipeline (possibly a joint operation).  We know that the rabid environmentalist have Biden's ear.  We know that he is after radical social change as a hallmark of his time in office (I believe he knows he's only getting one shot at this...so do his advisors) so he's going for broke.

So we know he's willing to play dirty and will do things that appear at least to me to be outside the realm.  We know that the most dangerous person in the world is getting between a determined man and his goal. We know that all these industrial issues ain't normal.

Is it possible?  Would they actually go that far?  Sounds far fetched doesn't it, but remember this is the same govt that injected its citizens with a venereal disease, the same govt that placed its troops next to atomic bombs exploding to see what would happen and the same govt that pushed not only the Russian hoax but also an experimental drug vaccine.

3d Littoral Combat Team, 3d Marine Littoral Regiment, 3d Marine Division @ Range 400

They still deny it but nothing else makes sense. The MLR will be the template for the entire Marine Corps. It isn't gonna just be how the Marines operate in the Pacific but will go worldwide. Additionally the idea of tying at the hip of the Navy for every action will be the utter DEATH KNELL of the Marine Corps! The Navy just ain't into making this concept work, the budget reflects that and only Marine leadership is pushing this stone up hill. 

The naval battle is primarily a NAVY affair. Air power will help but if it ain't shooting and survivable then the Navy ain't interested. 

 Besides they've been burned too many times before in the recent years. 

 The LCS was pushed on them by the former SecDef. The DDG1000 was pushed by the USMC for more naval guns. The MLP was pushed for sea basing. The high speed transport was pushed as a means of rapid transit for Marines around Japan. 

 The Navy has done its bit for the Marine Corps and I think they're tired of the Marine Corps' shit!

 

This bubba looks like he chews nails and young PFCs for breakfast!

I bet his descent rate is outrageous. That's one of the biggest paratroopers I've ever seen. Last out the door but still first on the ground.

The US President flew into an active peer vs peer war zone. What if the Russians took a shot at him? How would we respond?

 Biden flew into an active peer vs peer war zone.

The Russians were warned that he was heading there, but I have to wonder. What if they took a shot at him?

What if they put together a MASSIVE AIR STRIKE?  What if they legitimately claimed that they were targeting Zelensky and not the US President.

Would we declare war over an attempt (even if successful) at the killing of a US President that went to a war zone?

Would we even posture about it?

Then the next question becomes WHY DIDN'T RUSSIA TAKE A SHOT A BIDEN!!!!

This was a golden opportunity to put the NATO on its back foot and extract a bit of revenge on their main protagonist.  WHY NOT GO FULL TILT BOOGIE AND ROLL THE DICE?

We all assume that everyone involved is fighting to win.  I sometimes wonder.

At NO TIME in the history of the Marine Corps has it ever defined itself as being a littoral force.

Massive pet peeve. The throwbacks to Marine Corps history that the current Marine Corps is constantly tossing in faces is annoying. The new Marine Corps will be NOTHING LIKE the organization that came before. Its like prizing your history and yet throwing away every piece of it you can. The worst part. NO ONE PUSHING FD2030 can make it make sense without acting like they're a fucking professor at dick sucking Harvard.

 

This was NOT a random attack...Tactical Hyve does a good assessment of the threat of the "rear naked choke"

If someone applies this to you and they know what they're doing you have mere seconds to escape. 

This is some deadly shit. 

If its hooked in and applied for too long it could result in death.
