A thread on Ibrahim Traoré (read it all)

 

Burkina Faso MIGHT be an example of what we want to see in Africa. The man might flawed but you can't argue with his CURRENT goals. I definitely need more info on this bubba. So far I kinda like what I'm seeing and wonder why AFRICOM seems to be plotting against him.

General Langley (AFRICOM) has been talking about Burkina Faso & their leader. Now he's in Africa and many think military action is imminent...

 

I find this interesting.

Ya'll might not remember but this was a FRENCH PROBLEM!  They got kicked out and whined.  They tried to play game with the French dollar and Traore basically blocked it.

Don't get me wrong.  Traore is NOT the good guy, but he has taken steps to improve the lives of people in his country.  The main attraction for the French and POSSIBLY the US?  Impressive gold mining opportunities (always been curious about gold...its not actually a rare metal but its costs are inflated...don't know why).

Either way you slice it, this visit is worth watching.  Africa is big and I don't know how you take military action with the distances involved.  We got kicked out of Niger and Mali so that leaves Ghana or Liberia as staging points but I don't think they'd bite.

Africa is hard.  The distances will make any fight a logistical nightmare.

China is losing the trade war...“And I love the fact Xi’s getting his head squeezed like a teenage pimple right now.” via Overton News


via Overton News
CNN’s Abby Phillip thought she had Kevin O’Leary cornered when she argued: “No, no. I know you're not opposed to tariffs, I'm saying you're opposed to taxes——and tariffs are taxes.” But O’Leary didn’t flinch. He fired right back: “Taxes are permanent. Tariffs are a negotiating weapon,” He went on to explain why the strategy was working. “Why is every leader of every country in Europe showing up in Washington every week?——They want to cut a deal!” O’Leary pointed out that the pace might feel chaotic, but it was unprecedented—and intentional. “You don't like that in nine weeks we don't have a deal? No administration has ever tried to cut sixty deals at once.” He made it even simpler for her: “All you need is one. Pen one. India, EU, Britain—whatever. That becomes the blueprint for the rest.” Once that first domino falls, he explained, the rest will follow. “And then settle with China, because that’s a different story.” Finally, O’Leary delivered the Shark Tank-style kill shot: “And I love the fact Xi’s getting his head squeezed like a teenage pimple right now.”

WTF is going on between Pakistan and India. First gunfire over the border, then the Pakistan says water will flow or Indian blood and now both sides are mobilizing!

Are those StingRay Light Tanks that Pakistan is rushing to the border?

Tell me again how the USMC's Stand In Force stops this gray zone behavior???

The US military is all about so called deterrence but I have yet to see where deterrence is actually working. They come up with no concepts to explain old behavior (such as this) but have no REAL plan on how to stop it. For better or worse our entire doctrine is a fist full of bullshit. All the psychology of warfare is bullshit. You simply kill the guy that is trying to kill you. Its just that simple. As far as the SIF is concerned? It's coastal artillery (cannon, rocket or missile) that is vulnerable from the sea and MOST DEFINITELY from ground forces. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The USMC's Stand In Force is simply a trip wire outfit designed to ensure that the war is escalated.

The BBC is showing the US military what a ground recon drone should look like

The BBC is using this setup to watch nature but it could be used to act as ground recon drone. It would need a mothership to get in position but once close enough to the suspected target I'm sure it could do its thing. I like it.

The Stand In Force is all about ship killing. NOW they're proposing that the MEU focus on ship killing too?

 via USNI 

ARG/MEUs must work in concert with SIF—but they also must be ready to fight as stand-in forces themselves. At the outset of a potential conflict, ARG/MEUs could emplace anywhere from 10 to 30 expeditionary advanced bases (EABs) on key maritime terrain within 96 hours via organic amphibious connectors and assault support aircraft. Air and ground sensors from the MEU could increase the resilience of kill webs by observing and tracking targets using Link 16, and this expeditionary sensing capability could be significantly enhanced by including Ground/Air Task-Oriented Radars.20 SIF and allied and partnered forces could support these EABs with fires and logistics, even in contested environments. Simultaneously, an ARG could deploy hundreds of containerized M18 unmanned surface vessels, each with a 1,000-pound payload, to support the amphibious defense, then maneuver to mitigate the effects of adversary weapons in fewer than four days.21

-----

 With Russia waging war against Ukraine, the specter of wider conflict looming over Europe, and a growing threat in the Indo-Pacific, ARG/MEUs must forge a stronger bond with SIF across the globe. These forces must become more complementary, and the ARG/MEU must modernize its embarked sensing and strike capabilities to better deter and defeat contemporary threats. ARGs must embark and train to employ unmanned and autonomous systems, while MEUs must be modernized with capabilities to fight as SIF.

Story here 

With all the talk of SIFs in the Pacific, we somehow missed that they were trying to take this world wide to become the primary mission of the Marine Corps.

What has me spinning is that Marine Corps leadership somehow thinks that with SIF they will be able to "command and control" naval campaigns.

They won't.

They will simply be a sideshow at best and at worst will be targeted and destroyed by enemy ground forces, and that's the rub of the entire situation.  For all the talk about being a "force in readiness" and America's Crisis Response Force, that is all a lie.

The Marine Corps as its currently envisioned by leadership will be organized to do one thing.  Sit and wait for the enemy to attack.  The SIF has little to no relevance in the Pacific and will have NONE in the rest of the world.

The Marine Corps is about to "concept" itself out of existence.

The sad reality for the USA?  The US Army needs to get back into the business of amphibious assault ASAP!
