I posted a photo on FB of me with @ScottPresler, announcing the clean up done in a Detroit neighborhood.

Immediately, one of my liberal friends had something to say about my having done it with Scott.

This brings something up...

1/
It should not matter ONE BIT who did the cleanup.

Not one bit.

It was an act of love done with a local church to prove that #BlackLivesMatter, rather than incessant virtue signaling on Social Media.

2/
The most vocal white liberal people speaking that #BlackLivesMatter and all that, would NEVER venture into any neighborhood off Outer Drive in Detroit.

NEVER.

But they're ready to condemn what we did, just because someone who vocally supports the President was there.

3/
Did Scott's presence make the works less valuable?

Nope, we had a great time talking to the local neighbors, who thanked us all for helping clean up the abandoned houses and vacant lots.

The Pastor of the corner church was thrilled to have Scott's help, despite politics.

4/
When you value someone's opinions more than their DEEDS AND HEART, you're doing it wrong.

When I wrote a reply to her, she answered with "Jesus, Joe".

I said "Yes. EXACTLY.... JESUS."

Here's the interesting point:

We already have evacuation plans at every Embassy. What this means is that the USG has gotten some indicator or intelligence that something might happen soon, so they are updating the plan.

THAT is the key piece here.
For example, the "on file" plan for Eastern Exit (first Mogadishu evac) was from the port.

When they went into final planning, it was realized that the MEU was too far out, so they decided to drop some guys from the 82nd right on the compound.
Then, they decided they didn't want to spend 3 days looking for the poor dudes who landed individually outside the walls in Mogadishu, which was literally a hellscape.

The final plan was an extremely long range helicopter insertion of Marines, which is what happened.

The Russo-Ukrainian War in general & the current offensive specifically has proven that H John Poole was right.

Small unit infiltration is the key to winning. Don't smash into his lines and hope to take them with massive losses.

Slip through and assault from his rear.

1/
This will open a channel through which you can move a larger mechanized force.

The Belgorod operation bears this out too.

We've become so reliant on technology that everyone is debating tanks vs drones.

Neither is capable of defending against 8-13 dudes with field skills.

2/
If you have good fieldcraft you can EASILY defeat drones and infiltrate enemy fortifcations.

As Poole points out, you can make a squad infantry assault look like a mortar barrage that was just harassment by assaulting with grenades and bayonets.

To truly understand the moment we are in and the urgency of it, you need to truly understand the difference between the two parties and their goals.

1/
The Democrats are true ideologues. They FULLY INTEND to implement every policy they advocate and are willing to fight to do it. Literally.

When in power they weild it like Thor's Hammer.

You don't have to like it, but it's true.

2/
On the contrary, Republicans have no intention to implement the talking points they spew, preferring rather to profit on fundraising as the "controlled opposition", and when you look at votes, they tend to support the Democrat policies.

When in power, they "show restraint".

Several have asked for a thread to follow for our analysis, so here we go.

First, I would like to invite the rest of the Council on Future Conflict to join: @MScottMcCulloug @mnsibley @TheVirginiaGen1 @OGA_Ron @DempMcgee @wayofftheres @BionicBeauty

Second, this is NOT a "War Porn" dump site. We're not going to be sharing videos and such, we're sharing analysis.

There is plenty of War-Porn on the OSINT sites elsewhere.

Let's begin with what we KNOW.

2/
We KNOW that Putin essentially declared war on the UKRAINE, and not NATO. He did, however make a very serious threat towards any nation that interfered with his operation.

We must take that seriously.

We know that Estonia requested a NATO meeting under Article 4.

A short thread on being a Warrior, from the Ultimate Tactical Handbook:

In Jeremiah 21 and 22, the same set of instructions for the men of Judah are given, and they eventually find their way into the oaths of most Orders of Knights in the Crusade.

Let's look at them.

1/
Do what is right and just - Pretty self-explanatory.

Rescue the Oppressed - We must rescue those being oppressed. Warriors, we are failing and that's why I wanted to put this out tonight.

I feel convicted because I'm not doing enough to fight oppression.

2/
Protect the weak - The weak (the fatherless and widows in the bible) cannot defend themselves effectively, so we must.

Shed no innocent blood - This is significant because it doesn't say "shed no blood" as some would have you believe.

God is a Warrior and He need Warriors.

Since some people got upset about something I said, let me try to present my case.

Yes, Patriot Front has been around a while. They have ties to Charlottesville, and I have serious logic issues with the entire event there, but that's not the point.

1/
Rousseau led his malcontents into his own group, Patriot Front.

I'm not saying Patriot Front is ENTIRELY MADE UP OF AGENTS.

The climate has changed, and federal agencies try EVEN HARDER than ever before to infiltrate these groups.

2/
The Proud Boys is a real organization. Tarrio joined them and they grew. Under his leadership, the group was co-opted & sent in a different direction than when first founded.

This led to involvement in Jan 6th, as well as several arrests & the exposure of Tarrio.
