I suspect warfare will be conducted very differently in the 22nd century.

Breaking: Donald Trump tells @Telegraph in the Oval Office he is minded to sign off the Chagos Islands deal. Big win for Starmer.
(Excerpt) Read more at x.com ...
The base will be kept on a 99 year lease as I understand the details.

Would not surprise me. That would be a reasonable deal.
Me thinking the same will happen with Greenland. We already have Thule (renamed to something else), some seaports would be good and we don’t have to buy the place. They would like the extra money too.
Trump likes to play the media. Fun to watch. Kinda like tabletop magic tricks.

Our very own Hong Kong.
Yeah without the forward deployed base in US hands, the Chinese will take it over like they did Kandahar. This puts the Chinese in a very good military position as they island hop toward Hawaii.
They should check if Jeffery Epstein is living on the beach there. What better place to disappear to?
SOOOOOOOOOOo—WHO GETS TO TAKE OVER THAT BASE???
Big win for CHINA. Would be more boneheaded than Trump pressuring Romania to release the Tate scumbags. Hope this isn’t true. If it is, is is the 3rd bad news event of a very bad day in MAGA Land.
Hmmm...
I’d wait until Trump has ALL the details in hand and then assess what he decides then...
Its staying a US base for a hundred years.
Apparently.
Not good
"Could you deal with Russia on your own?" LOL!
What happened?
99 year lease
So why the fuss?

There was a programme on TV here saying drones have already changed the battlefield or what it resembles now forever. They followed a mercenary in Ukraine who when moved got picked up by drone and his position was mortared. He had a lucky escape!
Navy Support Facility Diego Garcia is a US military base in the British Indian Ocean Territory. It's located on Diego Garcia, a coral atoll in the Chagos Archipelago. The base is a key US military installation that supports operations in the Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf
Yup. I think we’re F’ed.
Why?
