lots of dereliction of duty going on around at the White House, Congress and the five sided puzzle palace. If we can’t secure our soldiers with ground based laser systems like iron beam or the ones used on Navy ships, then someone in the Chain of command needs to be cashiered and drummed out of the military.
2nd question. I understand that US military aircraft all have a type of ID for friendly and foe. I would assume our drone has this as well. Authorities are claiming they mistook the Iranian proxy drone for our own. This smells to high heaven. What say you?
It seems clear that lots of folks in DC need to show a large loss of personnel, to get the US citizens excited enough to fund a Middle Eastern war. Or the big shots are really past any form of competence whatsoever.
My bet is the folks in charge really are wanting to start a new major war in the Middle East, and a few sacrifices of our personnel aren't important to them.
It came about because too many Americans don't want to remember in the right way that the A in USA doesn't stand for Asia. The Russians, Chinese, Iranians, and others, however, are not nearly so confused about the situation. It's safe to assume, I think, that they envision a year during which they can publish an eviction notice AND enforce it, too.
Every alert observer understands why the USA is embedded in Asia, esp. the ME. It's not just for oil. So if the aforementioned three powers are thinking of their own legitimate interests, they will become aligned with the goal of the disintegration of the "Zionist entity", as many Muslims are fond of calling it. They will therefore be motivated to exacerbate the inherent contradictions of said "entity" until it goes to pieces. After it does so, the motivation of forgetful Americans to rmaintain a military presence in the ME will be greatly diminished. An eviction notice, at least for the ME, if it hasn't already been rendered irrelevant by other developments, can be served and enforced.
My guess is that are too many bases spreaded everywhere. Going after Iran is as usesless as going after Lucas Skywalker, the issue here is the lack of adaptation to the modern warfare environment and most probably a lack of strategic thinking and forecasting. Instead of putting american lives at risk one should consider a consolidation of actual bases, redefining priorities and adapting actions to possibilities. actual US air defense is not economically and industrially feasible.
This article is ill-informed. C-RAM or the Counter-Rocket Artillery and Mortar System is Post 2010 advanced automated base protection system specifically designed to protect against drones and other small close-in aerial threats. NASAMS were developed in the 90s and only improved recently. Are similar but unit cost are more expensive and no more effective than a C-RAM at base protection. Nor are we giving NASAMS to Ukraine instead of the US Army. This is an outright lie. The US has plenty of NASAM and other systems. Also important to point out the system is developed in a joint agreement between Kongsberg Defense and Aerospace (KDA) and Raytheon. We have small outposts of soldiers in foreign locations with limited supply routes as a legacy of the counter-ISIS campaign. We can either escalate and put in more troops and weapon systems (More soldiers are likely to suffer casualties.) or we can evaluate our strategic priorities in the region. But making it an Ukraine vs US Army troops is a lie, and a blatant one at that. It is about regional priorities, manpower and a complex regional geopolitical environment.
The basis on which the United States supposes entitlement to the privilege of nesting its military in bases around the Near East is rotting away. What decayed right does it continue to take for granted that it can intrude and impose the coerciveness of its presence on other countries' soil? The concept of the US military is no source of pride and superiority in the eyes of many nationals. These military bases invoke an ever-growing sense of shame.
We may use some of our toys and they may have an effect, but anyone who believes we are going to outlast the locals probably believes the Vietnamese are going to give up any year now.
Come home America and pursue a neutralist foreign policy and ethos.
The reality is if it comes to our National Security we Democrats and GOP are in complete denial as far as our National Security is concerned. The Freedom Caucus capping the Defense budget. Ronald Reagan is turning in his grave.
Even our big bases are unprotected. Forget about Guam in a conflict.
China has tens of thousands of offensive ballistic missiles. Iran has thousands. Where are our thousands of Pershing 3 or offensive SM-3 missiles?
We need to scale up missile defense including space based missile defense to protect the homeland.
We need to add 2000 tactical nuclear missiles to break Russias grip on dominance escalation.
Presently our defense industries despite 100 million dollar CEO salaries are unable to deliver.
We will have to create a National rocket motor and munition production entity to scale up production.
Lastly cluster munitions are highly effective. NATO needs to stop listening to Biden and resume production of these munitions.
Plus our allies need to pursue their own nuclear deterrence as our nuclear umbrella has undergone senile shrinkage
Count me in with the fourth recommendation.
Support our troops. Bring them home.

Impeach Biden. Court martial Austin and all the joint chiefs

Thanks for the good article 👍
‘Why did the Army prevent and block the use of Israel's Iron Dome system?’
Could it be because someone in the Army has read ‘The Samson Option’ by Seymour M. Hersh?
"How did this come about?"

So it was another soft mutiny against Trump?
I thought that Trump ordered us out of our illegal occupation of Syria while he was still President?

Actually, by now we all know the missile barage was aimed at Yankeestan's illegal military base in al-Tanf, Syria.
Enough, Yankee go home!
