There is no justice in the world unless we make it. You might luck out and the system works in your favor

But if you have to snatch and grab and do an extraordinary rendition of the pedo that killed your daughter on your own, then you do it

The story of Kalinka Bamberski In 1982, a healthy and athletic 14 year old French girl named Kalinka Bamberski died suddenly in Lindau, Bavaria while vacationing with her mother and step-father.

Her father Andre fought for over three decades, and against three governments to bring her killer to justice.

The tactics of Generals can win battles and maneuver the enemy to defeat. But if the enemy refuses to be defeated, refuses to succumb to the norms, and stands their ground against the storm then no tactics can defeat them. Like the charge of the Imperial Guard at Waterloo. 1. By 1815 the Napoleonic Wars was on its last legs. Napoleon had won fame and glory with a simple formula: Spread the enemy out, gather your strength and overpower a small part of the enemy line. Time and time again, it worked. Break one part of the enemy line and they all run

All kidding aside this Antifa thing has a chance to get spicy. It has before

Not to dox myself but I worked for this company that had a huge footprint in Germany, and one day their head of Executive Protection (good dude, former Legionnaire, shot together) asked me for some help He took me down to the armored garage and the “arms room” where there were no shit racks of full auto MP5s, Uzis, and crates of grenades.

He said back in the 70s and 80s this was standard issue to all EP groups because of the Red Army Factions killing CEOs and hijacking planes.

Let’s do some analysis. Grab a whiskey and a seat.

There are four options

1. They are real
2. They are faked by the police
3. They are faked by a third party
4. They are faked by the suspect

Or, depending on how much MDMA you do: it’s all fake

1. They’re real

Probability: High

These people are idiots. They talk in these grandiose self important sentences that don’t mean anything. Also, they have no understanding of how LE works.

Remember; Occam says blame the mentally ill. And they are

We are about to see some things happen.

The thing about political assassinations is they almost always backfire.

Killing Caesar got you the Triumvirate 2

Lincoln got you reconstruction

Ghandis ended Hindu nationalism

MLK JFK etc

Leaders on the left know this. And fear us They know regular conservatives aren’t lone wolf killer types. We aren’t laying on rooftops to kill a political celebrity. We have too much to lose yes, but that is not how we flex our power

What they fear is our turning our backs on them. Our indifference to their causes.

Let’s talk for a minute about what “air supremacy” means, what really happened in Vietnam and how the Russians use their Air Forces

Full disclosure I have had a whiskey, and my only credentials are I have read Flight of the Intruder and seen Top Gun… lots

https://twitter.com/classiccodnjoyr/status/1962540727511953743

“Air supremacy” is a broad term. But a general definition is you can hit whatever you want from the air, and the enemy can not. Sure, people still will get shot down. But the mission is a success.

Apparently we are giving CDLs to third worlders now, but ask any Iraq veteran and they will tell you why this is a terrible idea.

These people not only can not operate vehicles like this even in the best of conditions, but their disregard for human life is mind boggling We always talk about logistics. Logistics win wars. Got it.

But to keep the FOBs going, the US drove in hundreds of trucks every night up the MSRs (main supply routes) from Kuwait. They carried food and fuel, ice cream and Burger King.

What if I told you the lesson from GWOT wasnt if V Shaped Hulls are useful against China, rather is it the ability to create an Operational Needs Statement process for units in the field to know if V Shaped Hulls are needed or not?

What if I told you it wasn’t if the MRAP was good, the lesson was how to do a Commercial Off the Shelf buy program unprecedented in DoD history.

What if I told you the Rapid Fielding Initiatives were the lessons.

Or the ability to stand up a Joint Program Office from scratch.

We talk about battles, glory gained against the enemy and great stories of overcoming dreadful odds, but more often than not it is the thankless, tedious mental work done before two armies meet on the field that decides who wins and who loses

Like on the march to Fredericksburg 1/ By the winter of 1862, the Union Army of the Potomac had known little but defeat. They had been beaten like a drum four times at the hands of the Army of Northern Virginia, and had escaped with a draw in September of 1862, despite knowing the entire Southern battle plan.

This is one of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite war movies, and it is exactly why all those alpha, sigma, raw egg weirdos know nothing about women, war, or what makes a man a man The men start the clip hardened. It is 1917, three years into the slaughterhouses of the trenches. The French Army is at its breaking point, they just had some of their own men executed for mutiny

They start jeering the German girl, she is an object and they are at their basest

Grab a beer, we are going to talk markets and people who put their finger on the scale of them. (And no, this isn’t a thread about the small hat people, so just stop)

Almost all of Salt Lake City’s housing woes can be told in the story of this one house. Why does this house cost over $300,000? It is by all objective measures a shitbox in a not great neighborhood Well, we have this wonderful tool called Zillow to help us. zillow.com/homedetails/63…

Here is your guide to the “they march like bums” and the “we don’t need to march” debate.

The truth is somewhere in the middle, but neither side it wrong.

(Caveat: the side posting the North Koreans as an example are wrong. Clowns)

Caveat, I have had a drink or two. 1 For millennia, the ability of individual soldiers to march, turn, and act as one with their comrades is why the West became what it was. That is how wars were won. From Phalanxes to the triple line, tercios, hollow squares, and line volleys, the disciplen of the West dominated

One of my favorite D Day stories is the HMS Rodney, who, while providing direct fire support at Gold Beach, slammed a 16 inch shell directly into a Panzer IV

Rodney had been damaged by am LCT, and had a 9 foot hole in her side, but refused to be left out of the fight She knew the Germans had their big guns waiting for the Allies coming ashore. Despite water rushing into his ship, Rodney's Captain would be damned if Britain's sons went ashore without their big guns behind them

Why is what Thomas Ricks wrote either buffoonishly dumb, or a straight up lie?

He fails to understand both history and how wars are won. He mischaracterizes both the US experience building auxiliary forces, and how World War 2 was won. It is comically bad.

https://twitter.com/tomricks1/status/1927458522863632630

Let us start with the role of auxiliaries in general. Large powers throughout history have used foreign troops to bolster their imperial forces abroad. From the Greeks to the Americans. Balearic slingers fought with the Romans, and Montagnards fought with the Americans.

Sometimes we try something, and it fails. The dumb pout, the smart learn. One never knows where that lesson will lead. Years or decades later it might come back into play, and might serve you and your people again. Like the Soviet Space Program and the Battle of Katya Roof. 1/ As the great "Space Race" began in 1957, the autocratic and highly centralized Soviet Union was in a perfect position to get out to an early lead. Their willingness to slap stuff together and catapult things into space outpaced the methodical approach of the Americans.

Why was Shedeur Sanders drafted after 143 other players, and 5 other QBs?

The answer is simple. It isn't talking heads being dumb, (they are), or his lack of skill, or racism..

He simply did not understand football's intrinsic relationship to the Western Way of War. Football isn't war. I find the people who take the analogy too seriously to be cringe.

But war and football are linked. On purpose. We have "in the trenches", the "air raid", the "pocket"...

The man on man struggle as part of a larger, chaotic team fight screams battle.

This is by far the best scene in Last of the Mohicans.

Major Heyward leads a company of Highlanders (in reality the 35th Foot [Royal Sussex]) out of the trenches around Fort William Henry to act as a diversion for a messenger to run to Fort Edward and reinforcements. It is a great moment of redemption for Major Heyward and the British Army.

On the trip north, Heyward had his command destroyed in the woods by the Huron. Unaccustomed to fighting in the close confines of the North American woodlands, Heyward and his men are made fools of

Want to know what globalists think of you?

This from the West Wing (a liberal wet dream) but offers an insightful look into how we got to this point.

Spoiler Alert: they neither understand the world or believe there is a difference between American workers and global workers. They have negotiated a free trade deal. They know it will cost Americans jobs.

The world is full of information: some bad, some good, some deceitful. Making up one's own mind is the only true freedom we have. Sometimes it is wise to go along with the group, sometimes it is best to blaze your own path to glory.

Like at the Battle of Tannhäuser Gate 1. Like many ancient battles, the truth of Tannhäuser Gate has been lost to time. The story has been changed by both 13th Century bards and Wagner alike.

But the legend remains and the story, despite the wear of intervening centuries, refuses to be lost like tears in the rain

What wins wars? Certainly sometimes superior logistics, weapons, or generals, but when no side has those advantages? What leads one side to crush their enemy mercilessly? Discipline, faith, and leadership. Like how white mercenaries ruled the 1960's battlefields of the Congo. 1/It is no surprise that trained, equipped, and well-led European armies slaughtered African tribal armies wherever they went. A tiny nation, Belgium was able to conquer a giant one like the Congo with nothing more than a professional army. Even Italy managed a colony: barely

Alright youse. Grab a chair and make sure you don’t mix up your guns while we clean, and wash your hands before you eat that powder is filthy.

Let’s talk German politics.

German had an election. Nobody won. But this always happens in Germany. So you have to form a coalition It helps not to think of German parties as opposites of one another like in a 2 party US system: for example, the new CDU (led by Friedrich Merz, no relation) is no leaning more anti immigrant like AfD, but they differ on Germany’s place in the EU and foreign policy.
