POLITICAL THREAD

What do you think the protocol would be for a marine combat engineer brigade if they are fired upon?

Do you trust the cartel's not to fire again?

Do you trust other world powers or militant groups to not try and incite or join the "Northern Command Theater" ( thats what we are now)



Does China, Russia, Iran, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, or other armed and angry types try to take advantage of this moment in time?

I think a lot depends on how quickly and "cleanly" the deportation effort unfolds


Watch for reports of roadblocks or highway checkpoints - that would be another canary in the cage indicator IMO

As it should be, return fire if fired upon. Rock and a hard place here. Deporting illegals and guarding the border to prevent more coming in imo would be too overwhelming for the current amount of border patrol agents. I know Trump was probably just joking when saying "send to 80k extra IRS agents to the border", but since the assets are already employed why not shift their focus and train them for the job. Until then or something else, the border patrol would be overtaxed and probably feeling vulnerable without the current military forces helping. Tough situation for all really.

And for the record.... Selena ghosted her friend after that friend donated a kidney to her do to lupus complications. What kind of person disses a friend after they give you a kidney?

Stable Genius at work here.

“And we don’t want to give them billions of dollars like this ridiculous program that Biden has given everybody billions of dollars. They already have billions of dollars,” Trump said. “They’ve got nothing but money Joe. They didn’t need money. They needed an incentive. And the incentive is gonna be they’re not gonna wanna pay a 25, 50 or even a 100 % tax.”

“They’re gonna build their factory with their own money. We don’t have to give them money,” Trump added, later claiming: “They’re giving the money, they don’t even know what they’re going to do with it.”

Nothing like passing tariffs on an ally that makes most of the world's chips. Biden literally passed the CHIPS Act and Conservatives were up in arms over it. Now they want to tariff the hell out of Taiwan to bring factories to the states, something that the CHIPS Act already wanted to do.

If my neighbor is mutilating dogs I'm going to go over and burn their house down. I care about humanity, unlike your satanic soul.

He wants you to stay out of "other people's business" so people like him can indoctrinate our children into their perverse cult, their morally corrupted worldview, their completely idiotic and degenerate gender ideology.

How we got here as a culture with so many people openly and proudly advocating for the sexualization of children is something I never would've seen coming if not for...

Such empathy, so pro-life.

"Interruptions in treatment for diseases mean that patients risk getting sick, as well as, in the case of HIV in particular, transmitting the virus to others. It also means drug-resistant strains may emerge, Gawande said"

"This is catastrophic," said Atul Gawande, former head of global health at USAID who left the agency this month. "Donated drug supplies keeping 20 million people living with HIV alive. That stops today."

China can just watch the US damage destroy its soft power and then swoop in to save the day.

 

[FirewithFire]

Ironically the ONE time we actually see US military deployed to protect our borders --

And we're amazingly vulnerable and entirely disunited and at cross purposes internally


The military forces joining them soon will include 10th Mtn Div - more 82AA I think- more
marines fm Pendleton etc


Will try to link more later

What is the ROE for the troops on the border? I don't think I have heard anyone address this.

The cartels are heavily armed with just about every kind of modern weapon one could imagine. They are also highly trained. If I'm not mistaken the Zetas were former special forces.

It is almost certain that at some point lead will be exchanged.

The Lord led them out of Egypt eventually, partner.

How does modern Israel handle integration with other race, creeds & cultures?

The dialogue you're going to encounter about "race" when you're overseas - especially in the ME would seem alarmingly offensive and more urgent than what the US typically sees

You have a lot of deluded to believe the US
Is somehow among the most intensely racist places ever --


Watch Europe to anticipate soft targets here

Maybe.

Scarcity

I include a simple bet that
History will tend to repeat itself

So the marxist approach almost ALWAYS includes food supply attacks - rationing and forced starvation

 

[warrior-cat]

Legitimate question -

Is it undathomable fhat the US will experience military defeat and economic subjugation?

We've been riding a post-ww2 configuration a WHILE

And sewing a LOT of ill will globally -

The US really needs to adopt a little humility right now - acknowledge some misguided and harmful foreign policy practices and actively draw down on certain foreign military priorities and assets

And the border mission for our military can fit into that realignment - but hopefully its not too late

I know that's not very actionable of a statement fm me -

There have seen a couple of "experts" who happen to align with what you are saying. I can't remember the name of one man who has been charting and following current lines of economic powers today while referencing superpowers of the past showing the parallels in the rise and fall of these superpowers and how he thinks we are on the verge of falling and on how China is poised to take the lead in the world in the not-so-distant future. Among other things that he says are contributing factors to the downfall of all of the past powers, liberalism and the lack of morality is one of the main contributing factors.

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Things are happening so fast with Trump that it’s about impossible to keep up while at work. Crazy.

Been busy (doing unimportant busy stuff) and got on here late afternoon...about 5. Thought I had checked it this morning...but turns out the last time I checked was last night around 7 or 8. There was like 10 pages! Stuff moves fast these days.

Well 'lack of morality' is Biblical. Liberalism is probably also...of course not mentioned specifically (what is ancient Hebrew or Greek for liberalism...lol), but it doesn't take much reading and studying to see that it's there...you just have to put the pieces together.

had an active duty asset join my defense contractor team as he was separating wounded fm Afghan campaign

Billions in US special forces gear and weapons abandoned - ordered to be left operational -- fkking Illegal orders obeyed

About 5-6 mths later you could find reports of the Taliban ( the medieval religious faction we lost to) brokering sales of US gear left behind

Mexican govt suddenly demands the US government to account for why cartels have mraps, night vision upgrades, rifles, choppers, surface to air missiles - ETC

Shit is clearly ours and as I recall the Homeland Security guy replies that the "us will look" into it


Heard SOME were coming into the US and immediately going to NA-Indian reservations out west --- brilliant if you think about it


So - US airspace should be considered at risk immediately if we engage - military and civilian

irrespective of how we got here them sitting US
CINC is faced with a decision about monitoring the region and be reactive - OR take initiative and identify / eliminate certain hostile forces jn that region

Cartels were officially listed as a terror organization right before the new year right?

As expected - the 10th Mountain Division apparently joined the US military forces at

Reactive should be the order of the day at this time to avoid the appearance at least of being too aggressive. However, once engaged the response should be immediate and powerful enough to hopefully deter any future attacks.

Oh yeah! He's already gone on the run.

Wearing the identifying hard hat talkin shit is not 4 D chess from that genius.

He really shouldn’t be that hard to find. If he’s employed by that company, they should have records on him… name, address, phone number, bank account? How’s he getting paid? Lots of ways to identify and track him.

I don't know, dems will lose a lot of electoral votes, Mexico would eventually take California back. Mexico needs our dollars so, they would continue to sell us all of the goods we get from California, win-win. We pick up Puerto Rico as the 50th and not have to change our stars.

[cole854]

The fires in LA were horrific, and something we will probably never see again in our lifetime. The rebuilding, imo, will be impossible due to the infrastructure damages.

In light of that, I am getting really tired of seeing Mr. or Mrs. Celebrity talk about their harrowing experiences. Look, you have multi millions....multi. You can relocate and build another mansion any damn where you please. Yes, this was terrible, but guess what.....so is every tragedy where people lose homes, family members, etc. You think you're better or more deserving than the people of western North Carolina? GTFO.

 

[sammysdad05]

Yeah. Completely ridiculous that they wouldn't just SAY that up front. It was either a created crisis for distraction or an op that's testing our readiness and attention.

Except they said all along it wasn’t anything. But you guys chose to ignore that

Most of those bean counters couldn’t handle that level of confrontation. They’d crap their drawers and go hide in the fetal position somewhere.
