AQ, ISIS And American "Victories" ...

 ... all over. 

Being off guard is a Pentagon's pastime. 

I Have News ...

 ... for Joe Kent. 

Prayers are not going to help. De-AIPACization and 25th Amendment may. But don't count on it. Moreover, the guy still thinks that it was the US which ... defeated ISIS. Sure ... delusion and delirium are becoming America's main diagnosis. 

This Is Why The US Loses Wars.

With "military historians" like these who are not acquainted with basic math (forget about modelling and operations) and what reliability of data is, you get these numbers: 1 to 7. 

He is a down right idiot--a "moron with Ph.D"--who spews amateurish crap about WW II, but that's what you get when you are a credentialed humanities brainwashed ideologue. He cannot even grasp the depth of his "military history" idiocy because his "math" is not even from grammar school. Guess what, he teaches and lectures ...

Oh, I Know Why.

 We all do. 

WASHINGTON, April 2 (Reuters) - U.S. Army Chief of Staff Randy George has been asked to step down by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and take immediate retirement, two U.S. defense officials and a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Thursday. Hegseth, a former Fox News host, has moved quickly to reshape the department, firing top generals and admirals as he seeks to implement Trump's national security agenda. The sources did not indicate why Hegseth asked George to leave his post. The move was first reported by CBS News. George, an infantry officer who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, was confirmed to the top Army post in 2023. Terms in that role usually run for four years. Prior to holding the top job, George was the vice chief of the Army and, before that, the senior military adviser to then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.

As was correctly pointed out, Pittie is a former FOX News host with degree in death cult Scofiled Bible and with the mentality of an NCO or, at best, Platoon Commander. Pittie doesn't know what REAL operations are, and his "experience" in Afghanistan counts for nothing. Randy George, however, commanded 4th Infantry Division (remember--division is the first OPERATIONAL level formation), then he commanded I Corps before moving to high level staff positions. He graduated from USMA at West Point and Naval War College. So, Randy, probably told Hegseth that military science and operational planning in this war lead the US Army into the slaughterhouse. But Pittie is pittie and he thinks himself a great strategist because this is what is written in Scofield Bible and American boys and girls must die for Israel. So, anyone who disagrees is ... anti-Semite. OK. There are many Christian Zionist fanatics in Pentagon, so he will find the substitute in no time. 

Meanwhile Russia Continues To Build ...

 ... nuclear ice-breakers. 

While much is being said about Arctic Sea Route and its economic viability, what many bean counters (totally expected from people with MBA) from all kinds of "economic think-tanks" forget is that Arctic Sea Route is critical for Russia herself, international economic significance of this route notwithstanding. But same as with warfare, it is difficult to explain to average "economist" who grew up and was indoctrinated with all kinds of pseudo-economic BS such as "capitalization", stock market and futures, what national security is for such a nation as Russia, which cannot be measured in Rubles only. Mind you, Russians seldom mention costs of anything. In the West--the ONLY thing they emphasize is price. E.g. $13.5 billion aircraft carrier, $2.1 billion bomber etc. as if costs and price make it anymore combat capable. 

Well, those $1 billion Patriots discredited themselves so much, that Switzerland now considers alternative systems. 

PARIS — Switzerland will consider acquiring a second long-range air-defense system, preferably produced in Europe, as delivery of previously ordered Patriot systems by the United States will be delayed by four to five years, the government said on Friday. The country will also buy fewer Lockheed Martin F-35 jets than initially planned after unit costs of the fighter increased, with the government unwilling to provide the additional budget to maintain to the original number of 36 ordered aircraft, Martin Pfister, the federal councillor for defense, said in a press conference. 

Well, it is not only about delays, it is because of a humiliating "performance" by the US-made AD (and other hardware). Not that European-made Aster-family missiles and their platforms, such as SAMP-T are any better, both are failures in real war--they are the same dung as American systems, but Swiss do not have options. There is a lot to unpack in terms of military production in the West, but as we all know--most of it is about PR. But that are Swiss' problems, aren't they?
