    Interesting perspective particularly on rocket force





    have to think the Ukrainian invasion has been instructive for China

    My Air Force buddy seems to think we are intensifying our preparations for something to happen.

    I feel like I’ve heard that from someone that knows someone in the military about every possible conflict

    The entire military has shifted their focus on China. Doesn’t mean something is about to happen, but preparation for it is happening. The marines have shifted how they do business and Air Force just pushed out huge changes recently to reorganize for better prep for a conflict with China.

    "strap up" meaning suspenders, right? because Shu was a fat motherfucker and they always seem to wear suspenders.

    (I'm 7 beers in and this feels like vital and hilarious commentary)

    He would take stands on it too. That's how he got banned because he thought it was imminent that Susan Rice would be arrested and then didn't pay when he was predictably wrong :laugh:

    What did the UN do recently?

    These drills aren’t exactly a new thing, and the timing isn’t a surprise at all.

    Without being called a "war fan" or whatnot that guy does well researched informative stuff. His stuff regarding the Syrian Civil War was very brief and not great but other than that it's good/

    Thanks. Doubt that has much to do with anything compared to the political transition (better put, non-transition), but sure doesn’t help.
