@BDHerzinger @JackDetsch 3/ ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ญ Defence Minister addresses directly the several questiosn about Ream Naval Base.

"The base is built on ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ญ own needs... Nothing more than enhancement of Royal Cambodian Navy."

1/ This report from 1988 is a really interesting read, esp thru lens of the geopolitical situation in 2021, regarding China-US competition.

@cgberube @cdrsalamander @lawofsea @JerryHendrixII @graham_euan @ElbridgeColby @Rory_Medcalf @BDHerzinger @mercoglianos @man_integrated
2/ This report is also interesting after listening to @Ng_Eng_Hen speech at #AspenSecurity, with his sweeping historical view, and quotes from Singapore's LKY on the nature of US and China.

3/ Seems that 1998 and 2021 have a lot in common.

1/ Well, clearly, it's time for Oregon to restart its Naval Militia and for @OregonGuard to get it paired w Vietnam Maritime Mitilia under their State Partnership Program.

Any volunteers?

2/ US Naval Militias are one of my niche interests. For some reason, never mentioned in the State Partnership Program materials.

nationalguard.mil/leadership/joiโ€ฆ
3/ US Naval Militias are active in several states:
Alaska, California, New York, Ohio, South Carolina & Texas.

Authorized but inactive on many other states.

Why do we not build up & leverage them?
