Trump Always Confuses Opponents; The TACO that helped him end Iran’s nuke program
On Saturday night, I contended the FAFO War ended with the USA doing the one thing Israel could not do, and that was bust the bunkers. I was right.
No Nukes for You, Iran
The destruction of Iran’s nuclear facilities means no nukes for Iran – for now. Nothing else is certain – for now. That’s because the enemy always has the option of the next move until they are utterly defeated and surrender.
Trump saves world, Democrats complain
Once again, President Trump has succeeded where his predecessors half-heartedly tried. Iran now is out of the nuclear bomb-making business.
Running Out Of Mathematics.
Often you have a critical task, but only bad options. So it has come to pass in Iran.
The Next 250 Years for the U.S. Army
The parade for the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday went well. It was a great showcase for the U.S. Army. It’s needed greatly because the Army is last among the Services in self-promotion and politics.
The Simple, New Technological Face of Warfare; by George Mcclellan
The Ukrainian drone attack that wiped out one third more or less, of Putin’s far flung strategic bomber force, and maybe a submarine or two at quayside, while thrilling in its audacity and satisfying in its results, is not really anything new.
China’s Problems Are Our Problems or Soon Could Be, by George Mcclellan

World War III Watch: It Could Still Happen if People Get Stupid.
It was only a couple of days ago that the democratic West was buoyed by Ukraine’s deep strikes into Russia. From The Washington Post: Ukraine’s drones disrupt Russia with airport closures, internet blackouts As Ukrainian drones strike deep into Russian territory, they are disrupting day-to-day life and reminding Russians that the war is not confined …
A Lack Of Rationality
Liberals are getting more unhinged as time progresses. Now they can’t allow America to commemorate the founding of our Army.
The Geometry of Chaos: Why Complexity in War is a Deadly Gamble
War has always been defined by paradox: it is at once simple and impossibly hard. The fundamentals—move, shoot, communicate, sustain—are straightforward on paper.
The Road to Kyiv: NATO, Kosovo, and the Long Shadow of a Broken Promise, Part 3
No one starts a war—or rather, no one in his senses ought to do so—without first being clear in his mind what he intends to achieve by that war and how he intends to conduct it.”

Trump – Want to Make America Great Again? Start by Killing the Patriot Act
If Donald Trump really wants to Make America Great Again, he should start by leading the charge to repeal the Patriot Act—one of the most un-American laws ever passed in the name of “security.”
Harvard Admits To Anti-Semitism on Campus
We noted, just three weeks ago, how Harvard University, the oldest and most prestigious institution of higher learning in our great nation, rather than at least negotiate with the Trump Administration over policies to end blatant anti-Semitism on campus, was choosing to double-down on discrimination instead. Harvard is, of course, a private school, so the …
Where There is Overt Resistance, There is Probably Covert Resistance as Well
It’s another day ending in a “Y”, so another military commander has been relieved of duty. Today’s example of TDS fueled corruption of military standards is provided by Colonel Sheyla Baez Ramirez, the Garrison Commander at Fort McCoy WI. She apparently thought it would be cute to disrespect her civilian leadership, by omitting their photographs on the chain of command board.
The Chain Of Command. It’s Not A Suggestion.
Officers cannot pick and choose the superiors they follow. Either execute to the best of your ability or get out.
