Peacetime senior military leaders are political pole climbers, not warriors. In the event of war, it is the common soldier who suffers most their incompetence.

The demented pedophile who abandoned Afghanistan (along with thousands of personnel and $85,000,000,000 of materiel) in the middle of the night is conducting a war with Russia.

And the Soros stooges think it’s great.

Def Sec Austin Lardbutt should just go sit on the Wagner Group Guy, while Joint Chief Millie does a little victory dance. If they can’t handle it, bring in Rear Admiral Transfaggot Levine and Lt. Col Pillsbury Doughboy Vindman (ret.) to bring them to their knees. What a clown show. US needs a clean slate.

Zeepers will be here soon to attack Johnson because all they can do is attack the messenger not what the message is

Austin and Milley are two first class stooges. They are are a disgrace and an embarrassment. I can’t believe there are still former military out there who supports those clowns.

Well, we sure as heck are not depleted on HIMARS. So far we’ve delivered under 5% of our HIMARS inventory (counted prior to any being sent to Ukraine, so far as I can tell), less than half of receipts from Lockheed-Martin in 2022, and MAYBE* a quarter of LM’s 2022 production (being ramped up to ~double US receipts in 2023.)

The ONLY explanation at this point to Ukraine not having 60+ operating HIMARS systems is squishy US leadership. “Fail!” by the reporters for not pressing on that one...

*Figures in the press tend to ignore deliveries to other customers, only quoting production for the US. An exact number for actual total production seems near impossible to come up with.

I will agree that Austin in particular just dances around and euphemizes instead of answering what were actually some other good questions by reporters. Such as what to do about a rumored (impending) large scale Russian aircraft attack (likely following attacks to severely degrade Ukraine’s AD system in a focused area.)

“failed to defeat a bunch of goat herders”

You can’t really “defeat” an insurgency that has the general support of the local population, as the Russians themselves found out in Afghanistan and as they will find out again if they do get their wish and manage to defeat Ukraine.

Self awareness is evaporating in this country. Just look at the freaks with tattoos and piercings.

It only took us 20 years of war to take afghanistan from being ruled by the taliban....

to being ruled by the taliban.

We spend a lot of money and build a lot of bases but we don’t win wars.

Most of the world is choosing Russia/China over us and there are reasons for that happening.

Hope all the warmongers that are actually Americans are good with our troops going in.

This is a good one, right on the money. Thanks for posting.

Can Russia lose this war? Douglas McGregor: “No. Unfortunately, I believe that active preparations are now underway to send the US military to Ukraine. I believe that this is a very dangerous and ill-considered decision, but everything is moving towards this,” he said in an interview YouTube channel “Judging Freedom”.
McGregor believes that the American leader can make such a decision without the approval of Congress, since there are legal grounds for this in the US legislative system. https://youtu.be/oUG74zh5H4Y

The “Spring Offensive” is a political imperative ordered by the white hut. Desperate for a win as political will evaporates.

Turkey told Sweden no deal on entering NATO.

Not really a big problem -- Erdogan has basically decoupled Finland joining and Sweden joining, with no block of Finland, and NATO has agreed. By far the more key membership is Finland. Sweden will support Finland to the hilt in a conflict with Russia anyway, and there's little chance of Russia creating some sort of Article 5 invokement starting with Sweden 1st. -- NATO already cooperates considerably with Sweden and there's also nothing Turkey can do to prevent existing ties between individual NATO countries and Sweden from being fortified.

Erdogan gets to huff and puff at home about blocking Sweden, and that's about all it amounts to.
