“...Stavros Atlamazoglou...”
Wasn’t he on Kojak?😃
Taiwan Chinese that I’ve met seem to be pretty savvy people.
Are we seeing a higher number of folks leaving Taiwan in advance of this?
That would be a good indicator.
“Nobody is ever gong to nuke anybody in the future. The 1945 use of nukes was it. A one-off. Nevah going to happen again.”
You may have forgotten about the Mad Mullahs.
Yes, it would.
This is great news. If we’re ever attacked by Hawaii, they’ll have a surprise in store for themselves.
Here’s a real story that sheds light on the situation and why chip production was put all into one basket:
Young engineer comes in my office, says the boss wants us to perform test X on our polymer. “I just want him off my back” he says in frustration.
We call the testing lab. We say we want test X performed.
“So what is the molecular weight of the polymer?” we are asked.
“About 25,00 kilo Daltons.”
“That’s not the test you use!” we hear.
“We know that.” we say.
“You’ll ruin my columns.”
“We know that.”
“You’ll have to pay for them.”
“We know that.”
“You are supposed to use test Y.”
“We know that.”
“Then why are you asking me to do it?”
“Because that’s what the management wants.”
Long pause....”Oh, I seeee, that’s what the management wants.”
“Yes, now you get it.”
Point.
Special Operators were for fighting US Enemies that were not represented or fully controlled by Nations, and the US allowed some private operators to act while not directly connected to the US Military.
Not to mention being disrespected during the playing of the National Anthem.
You think US Army Special Forces would be on the Front Line fighting Evil Global Warming . The way they talk about Global Warming it would be like Godzilla vs. Hedorah (1(71) , LOL
Lotsa weirdness going on in the USN.
Our main defenses are the Atlantic and the Pacific. Having a wonky navy is potentially catastrophic.
And those CVNs are super high value targets, just waiting for a little ingenuity...
Are we sure that little willie Milley knows? After all, he’d want to make sure that the Chicoms have videos, orders of battle, etc. so that they would know what we are up to.
Can’t afford to upset the sources of the Biden family, Apple, and Google income, ya know.
My understanding is that the Taiwanese are setting up in Arizona.
The game with Russia is to consolidate the progress made with the various buffering states after the collapse of Warsaw Pact, WITHOUT inciting a determined countermove.
Poking the bear trying to pull Ukraine out of their sphere is just a stupid move.
The might of the Russian military is an old myth, with their conscript infected force - but their backyard is THEIR backyard after all.
Nice summary. I would include gutless and clueless mil senior staff. Fat mercenaries that routinely shred our Constitution. Our enemy will split their gut laughing. We just may be doomed. We cannot even rely on the once proud usmc as they do the tranny high step in the vanguard of parade formation. Rump rangers Forward March!
Please, keep repeating this critical question:
So what’s the reward system for China to destroy their best customer?
300,000,000 + new citizens, all of our natural reserves of oil, coal, and other assets
Communist China wants Taiwan with a passion, it is a grand economic prize and their arrogance demands that it is part of their "China", so they will try to take it.
On the other hand, Ukraine is about Useless to Russia, with the exception of natural resources, which is what the Globalist Oligarchs want.
Russia has duplicates of Ukrainian natural resources so they can wait forever while Western Europe can't wait a month.
Finally, Russia can bypass Ukraine for any trade with Europe, so Russia's only interest is Russian speaking people in Eastern Ukraine, and distancing NATO from the Russian Border.
Russia can also wait for the EU and NATO Members to rub one another raw over Wokeism and Migrants.
Not likely Russia will War to take the pressure OFF The EU and NATO.
I disagree with that. Anyone who starts losing a conventional war that has nukes will use tem, or attempt to use them. And Pakistan has nukes, there’s that...
