“We extending the time for the infidels in America, so when time is come we will destroy them completely with no mercy” This isn’t in Iran, this isn’t in Lebanon, this isn’t in Gaza and it’s not even in Turkey.. This is in California.

Christopher Hitchens: “Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It’s a lie to say so. It’s a masochistic lie. And it excuses those who are the real criminals, and it blames us for the attacks made upon us.” This is why you have to study history.

Seems like they are building an alliance within an alliance, which is a waste of time. Why not strengthen the existing alliance by putting in new ROEs and making NATO more efficient and effective. Seems easier than creating a new alliance apart from NATO.

We are rapidly approaching the high-tech era of disposable unmanned weapons, on the land, sea, and in the air. Drones and missiles will be the future, and an astronomically expensive Trump battleship may not be needed when a large missile arsenal ship based on a commercial tanker or containership hull can throw off just as much firepower at the enemy. The arsenal ship concept involves transforming commercial merchant hulls—such as double-hull tankers, oilers, or container ships—into floating missile-armed platforms to address modern naval "missile deficits" and saturation threats. Proposals and operational shifts utilize inexpensive commercial merchant or oiler hulls (costing roughly $25–$50 million per hull) rather than building expensive, dedicated new-construction combatants. Systems like the Mark 70 Payload Delivery System—housed inside standard 40-foot ISO shipping containers—allow container ships or auxiliary tankers to carry SM-6, Tomahawk, or ballistic missile interceptors. Instead of relying on a vulnerable, standalone super-warship with its own massive sensor suite, these converted ships act as remote "missile trucks". They receive targeting data from offboard network sensors (such as F-35s, Aegis cruisers, or E-2 Hawkeyes) and can be fired upon remote command. The U.S. Navy has explored using auxiliary platforms—such as adapting tanker/cargo hulls like the USNS Montford Point or commercial container frames—for heavy missile carriage and at-sea reloading concepts. In 1996, the Navy partnered with DARPA to conceptualize a massive, dedicated floating magazine. Early design studies, including the Total Ship Systems Engineering project, explicitly used a modified T-AO 201 (Henry J. Kaiser-class) replenishment oiler double-hull. It measured roughly 785 feet long to maximize interior room. It was engineered to carry 512 Mark 41 Vertical Launch System (VLS) cells packed with Tomahawk cruise missiles and SM-2 interceptors midship. Following a "sensors on one platform, shooters on another" philosophy, the ship lacked complex radar or combat centers. Instead, it relied entirely on Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) data links to fire on command from an accompanying Aegis cruiser. Capped at a sailaway price of $450–$550 million and automated for a crew of fewer than 50 personnel, Congress canceled its funding in 1997 due to political friction over shifting the role of traditional surface combatants. Think about that. We could have had an arsenal ship for less money than what a final LCS cost the US Navy. But the future is in these ships. relatively cheap, small crews, and with more firepower than a battleship.

Abdul El-Sayed: You don't have to go back that far in history to remember when President Obama, who's actually a great president, had addressed the risk of a nuclear threat via diplomacy without war. And then this idiot president became president. This man takes office, doesn't like anything Obama did because he sees it a s a personal affront to himself because he didn't do it, tears up that agreement, and then in the next term goes on and makes war. To what? To teach the Iranian regime that they have a chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, which is why we're all paying more for gas and groceries.

Und ja die Russen Lachen jetzt schon drüber . Das ist ja toll! 🙈🤣 Eine Gedenkparade zum Tag der Kriegsveteranen in London.
