I know this sounds hysterical to post about a seemingly tin foil conspiracy development but I am prepared to risk some credibility and get it out there so that we can say we weren't completely surprised.
First, 120 embassies have been shut down. The rationale is presumably because AQ is planning an attack. Fine, go with that but that's not the real reason I am hearing from credible sources.
I'll say in my own defense that I was told by another source last October, a substantial source who nevertheless did not have 100% of my trust, that Israel would attack Iran and that WW III would start as a result. I argued with that source and refused to relay it further. So when I hear of major predictions, I'm not quick to buy into them.
But this source is very credible to me. Still things can happen where it doesn't come to pass, and if it doesn't, that's Ok by me. I think it's worth putting it out there.
Let me also say that I don't have all the pieces of the puzzle but possess a good sense of the general activity.
Without any more pre-qualification I'll just get right to it.
THERE IS GOING TO BE AN INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY RESET TONIGHT OR IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.
Here are the pieces of the puzzle I am aware of in item format:
*Global Financial Settlement - International Banking Reforms *Global Currency Reset - each country currency to be based on formulation of asset/liability mix *Basel III Protocol *Babylon II Software *Chinese Historical Debt *Private Placement Platforms *39 Countries will go bankrupt in days if no sign off
Their opponent is something horrible I take it.
Ought to be good!
Keep us posted!
Drones. Ones that interface with home computers. And work off game controllers. Actually, our current ones already do. Command lays out missions and posts them, and suddenly every kid with an X-Box is a soldier. This will happen.
I like your idea better.
Arm everyone.
Have an organized militia as well, for when needed. Have special units trained in mortars, RPG and shoulder launched SAM launchers. These guys would have extra training than the regular civilian “infantry” militia.
Maybe you could even have pre-placed Militia Stations scattered in the neighborhoods, small warehouses, where they park, er, pre-position the heavy trucks and armored vehicles and heavier weapons. These could also be the local neighborhood Militia Headquarters.
Farther out at fewer installations would be the larger radar and SAM sites, the heavier armored platoons and then still fewer would be the various, well-hidden airstrips. The higher the tech-arms tree the fewer there are and the more “professional” they are.
There is no reason any enemy would have to be able to figure out where the orders are coming from. Maybe there is a bunker, a cave or maybe the bosses are calling it in from their bedrooms.
Having a decentralized force has a lot of benefits, as well as costs. These scattered HQ’s could have ammo and supplies stored but how long can the fighting last before they run out without resupply, a week or two?
See #2103
No reason even local militia units couldn’t have their own drone teams, or at least similar to the units getting extra practice and training on RPG/SAM/Mortar systems.
The higher ups can have their own, larger drones of course, But computers should be able to link the information from all of the local/regional units no problem until the jamming comes.
I have no idea what the opponent might look like.
I think the Georgia-Russian War might be a good example though.
Inventive resupply.
Make your opponent resupply you, unknowingly hopefully.
Or just out and out gank one of his supply columns with those overly helpful civilian towns behind the lines.
Kinda like entering a village in an rpg, everyone seems nice, and then in the blink of an eye the kids are playing soccer with heads while the women play didgery doo with knives in navels as the whole town falls in on the intruders.
That was ugly, repeatedly.
This was driven home to me during the first Gulf War. I was living in Japan, working for the Navy, and found myself stalking the electronics marts of Tokyo (Akihabara) looking for civilian GPS units to send to the troops in Iraq. The local wives' club was managing it. These units weren't better than anything that was official government issue but they were plentiful and good enough.
Of course, no dictatorship could trust its citizens with this much power. A free society can. Advantage, free society.
I think that is probably the way to go
nice visuals.
Good point though
Costly in terms of lives if the other side catches on.
And requires the populace to be gutsy.
A smallish nation probably could pull it off.
But if everyone is armed, and the other side does not know that initially while believing they are up against “regulars” in the ground forces, it would be quite the drunken brawl!
Just make it too costly for the other side as quick as possible is the strategy there I guess.
Exactly, make it as expensive as possible for the other guy to continue aggressive actions for as long as possible.
Hopefully the trade in lives favors the defender if played right.
I would hope so too.
Making every foot of ground lost cost the other guy twice what it cost to defend it -at the least- is a “good” tradeoff.
Making night hours a time of chaos and terror also works, making “safe” things not so safe, all part of the psyche side of things.
I agree. Especially when they would literally have to go house to house to either secure weapons or fight them, the mortars might even be saved for night-time. That’d be a nightmare, the locals would know exactly where the invaders were sleeping.
Since all seems in order with that paperwork (and the bodyshopdude agreed that it was) I will saunter off to assume horizontal status and leave you to your plotting the overthrow of Hurtzbygonia or wherever..
Mortars, followed by signs and such “moving”, mines suddenly where none previously existed, heck...lay a few out in the open.
The other guy would have no idea if there were more or not and would have to take the time to make sure.
Okers, bambi deserved it.
Much like Angus Ohio.
Now if only the purple cow could be turned..
Maybe quiet RC vehicles (hover?) that drop little anti-personnel mines near the camps at night before some commotion draws the enemy out
