US Elections (& Politics) :)

Isolationism got us WWII ..

Right now the West ( USA, EU, Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Canada .. et al ) is way behind aspects of modern warfare

Just posted a good video from Anders Puck Nielsen in the Russo - Ukraine war thread .. plenty of excellent points.

Defense now has the advantage for those who have mastered the new "Drone age"
( USA has one strong leg, the space based one .. needs a strong "Drone" leg .. )

One comment really stood out :

USA actually needs Ukrainian knowledge from this war .. disengagement will reduce that knowledge transfer, in my book not a good idea.

USA can continue to help on a more cost effective basis and help achieve a no-win for Russia.
I would be shocked if we didn't have our own black-ops boots-on-the-ground there as "advisors" gaining a LOT of that kind of intel. I think the strategic power of drones in modern warfare has been proven, and I would bet the Pentagon is scrambling in freak-out fashion to come up with a line of inexpensive ($2k to $10k) and easily deployed drones that can carry different ordnance. This is a weird thing-- IMHO-- they will likely OVER-ENGINEER them, make them too complicated and difficult to deploy quickly.
 
Because only crazy people understand other crazy people ergo they make great "therapist".

Judge Boasberg Admits He Can’t Stop Tren de Aragua Planes to CECOT

This is the part that gets me:
"The three-judge D.C. Circuit panel split 2-1. The two Trump appointees, Judges Gregory Katsas and Neomi Rao, ruled for the administration. Judge Cornelia Pillard, an appointee of former President Obama, dissented."

I was told in school that the judiciary interpreted the laws and constitution in a non-partisan way.
As one current federal website says: "An independent judiciary makes decisions based on law, not outside influences. Constitutional safeguards help to ensure that the decisions judges render are not influenced by Congress, the President, or public opinion."

This is all a bunch of bunk. The government is broken. I realize most of you already knew that.

We have the CIA and other advisors already there. Our government has already admitted we have "advisors" teaching Ukraine soldiers how to use our equipment, training, etc..

We also already have cheap drones they can support almost any ordinance we have in our arsenal. Our government just doesn't advertise it. CIA, etc.. there are a lot of 3 letter alphabet agencies out there doing all kind of black op crap.

Many of you have probably seen this quote, I had not, thought it was pretty good:

“It isn’t that they can’t see the solution. It is that they can’t see the problem.”

~ G.K. Chesterton
 
Its time for other countries to stop taking the US for granted and engage in "fair" and "sustainable" trade deals. Everyone knows this is a temporary phase despite creating trouble for everyone's pockets. A good time to just relax, sit back, and let everything unfold - freeze unnecessary spending. McDonald's can come another day; at least everyone's health will be better now. Who want's to pay for a $10 Happy Meal. I'm sure China understands. ;)
