I wondered what Tulsi was talking about...I wondered why Israeli Air Force hit Houthi air defense, now I know. Either Israel, the US or both are about to make a run at Iran nuke facilities...

Fuck me.

I've been looking at an uptick in activity in the middle east and one reader (THANKS DUKE!) gave me the above post and it all makes sense.

Either Israel, the US or both are about to make a run at Iranian nuke facilities.  Its a damn shame.  

From my chair, Netanyahu basically poison pilled the negotiations that Trump was having with Iran (just like France and the UK are doing with Ukraine) and we are where we are.

I thought we would be consumed with domestic issues this summer but it looks like war is back on the menu.

One other tidbit.

The Commandant Of The Marine Corps is talking big about the Corps being America's 911 force and the silly bastard is taking essays with recommendations.

Leadership always sees things too late.  They totally focused on China and now they're about to face the worst of both worlds.  

Iran is gonna drag us into ANOTHER ME quagmire (that will drain our airpower including our naval aviation) while China makes a run at Taiwan once we're fully committed (in order to protect Israel).

THIS SHIT IS INFURIATING!  Getting tired of other nations dictating our foreign policy!!!(assuming I'm right about Netanyahu....that fucking dude man!)

Is this speech allowed in uniform or should she be charged?

Note. Still can't get over the fact that our Army bros can wear their cammies ANYWHERE. Seems weird to me. Must be a Marine thing.

China's J-36 is a Large, Long Range Striker & Missile Truck?

 

via South China Morning Post
Peter Layton, a retired Australian air force officer and visiting fellow at Brisbane’s Griffith Asia Institute, said the latest image confirmed the J-36’s three weapons bays – one large and two smaller – and the dorsal intake for the third engine. He added that the third engine was “probably the same as the other two rather than some exotic engine such as ramjet”. That suggests it is there to provide the additional thrust needed for cruising at supersonic speeds – something two engines alone probably cannot achieve, according to Layton.

“I think it confirms the growing view that the J-36 is [a] large, long-range strike aircraft,” said Layton, who is also an associate fellow at Britain’s Royal United Services Institute. He added that the jet had an “innovative design with good stealth characteristics” and appeared more like a regional bomber.

Brendan Mulvaney, director of the US Air Force’s China Aerospace Studies Institute, agreed that it resembled an attack or bomber aircraft design. “But in the future, fighters might just turn out to be ‘missile trucks’ anyway, so perhaps it will fill the role of a stealth platform that can deliver both air-to-air and air-to-ground munitions,” he said. Other analysts believe the J-36 is designed for both.

Interesting.

I can't get a good read on the size of this beast but I'm thinking its sorta like the F-111 mixed with A-5 Vigilante.

Regardless I can't lie.  I like it.  To be honest it looks like the Chinese have developed a stealthy version of the B-1R concept.  A high speed missile truck that can swap out payloads to turn it from the anti-air mission back into the surface attack role (note I said surface attack meaning ground targets and naval shipping if they have the electronics right).

One other thing.

This beast has first strike capability written all over it.  Mix long range anti-surface weapons with high speed stealth and it can hit our planes while they're sitting on the ground.  In another scenario they can fly out past the first island chain to conduct first strikes against our carriers & amphibs.

I like this thing.  Having said that we need to start working on ways to KILL IT!

Russia's 90th Tank Division has broken through the western border of the Donetsk region...Ukrainian drone strikes was a diversion from what's happening on the ground

 Note.  If you were attentive then you noticed that I didn't mention the Ukrainian drone strikes.  Why?  Because I've been paying attention to the fighting on the ground and refused to buy into "made for hollywood" attention grabbing headlines.

via EADAILY

On June 8, Russian troops, during an offensive led by the 90th Tank Division as part of the Center group, broke through the western border of the Donetsk region and continued to advance to the west, writes the American expert magazine Military Watch Magazine.

This offensive followed significant breakthroughs by Russian units on the fronts in the northern part of Sumy region and in Donetsk. Entering the Dnipropetrovsk region, a strategically important region that borders the territories of Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporozhye, could be a turning point in the conflict. This area with a low population density remains an important center of resource extraction and logistics.

Here

What has me puzzled is that the Russian members of this blog family haven't said a thing about the advances...slow and steady at first, and now almost a recognizable armored/mech assault.

I have another theory.

Remember me posting a warning written by someone smarter than me that told the West to be alert to a possible Ukrainian collapse?

I think we're inching to that point.

Which leads me to my suspicions.

I think the UK and France are basically sabotaging Trump's attempt at a peace between Russia and Ukraine.

Why?

I'm not sure.  Could they possibly want a wider war that would involve NATO?  Would they commit troops if Ukraine did collapse?  I know that Poland would attempt to setup a buffer zone (in name only...they want lost territory).

We're living in the land of mirrors.  No info from the main stream media is to be trusted.

This bullshit in Los Angeles has all the hallmarks of George Soros doing his thing again...

Someone in the financial crimes division of the FBI or Secret Service needs to follow the money on these "protests". I don't think they're organic. I believed they're organized with some SERIOUS financial backing. TRACK IT DOWN!

Is the Israeli Army breaking down after the prolonged fighting in Gaza?

 via Middle East Monitor

The Israeli army is facing growing logistical and mechanical challenges amid the prolonged war in Gaza, with mounting technical failures affecting its tanks, armored vehicles, and weapons, according to Israeli media reports on Friday, Anadolu reports.


The daily Maariv quoted soldiers, company and battalion commanders, and senior officers as saying that military units operating in Gaza are increasingly hampered by worn-out equipment and a lack of spare parts.


“The 7th Armored Brigade reported Thursday serious difficulties in securing tank spare parts,” Maariv reported. “Key components like engines, tracks, and control systems are being depleted from the army’s stocks, while other parts are simply unavailable.”


A senior officer from the brigade, who was not named, told the daily: “We have been in a state of war for nearly two years in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria, and now again in Gaza. The vehicles are deteriorating rapidly, constantly moving from one mission to another.”


“No one was prepared for the possibility of such a long war. Every component has a lifespan, and we are reaching those limits,” he added.


The issue, Maariv noted, is not isolated to the 7th Brigade but affects all regular army units, including armored, artillery, and infantry divisions.

I was worried about this.

What has me spinning is that the issues facing Israel aren't being widely reported. I've been concerned about their economy and have been more than irked by the number of nations that are lining up to sanction them (well...kinda irked...sanctions have been so over used that they no longer make sense anymore), but to add to the that issue you now have material issues with the IDF?

The war hawks say to keep pushing so that Hamas doesn't rebuild.  I think that a pause is needed so the IDF can rebuild...along with their economy and to give their conscription force a break.

Peace, ie. a pause in fighting is not a bad thing.

SecDef prepared to send US Marines to Los Angeles if the National Guard falters...

Interesting.

I stated that the Guard should consider their move to assist ICE in large scale roundups of illegals as a combat mission.

The incident in LA proves that out.

I know many here have worked with local law enforcement while in uniform (I have) and trust and believe that when Marines show up, everyone hardens up.

The troublemakers better go to ground cause Marines aren't gonna half step...oh and they better get their communication right.  Cover me to a rifle squad might have rounds going down range when they don't intend that.
