Pretty certain Xi Jinping thinks the ACC sucks and that Brandon cannot pronounce his name correctly.
Earthquake today off coast of Taiwan. Wondering if he is asking if it was an 'Earthquake'.
I knew something was up - my last two Amazon orders have been late. I ordered balloons for my granddaughter's birthday party.
When has China not been posturing for a few years or more? They are feeling around for cracks and weak points. Trying to make everything look like routine... until it isn't.
When was the last time the US fought an enemy that wasn't rebels or a small country?

Nothing has radically changed for people paying attention. It’ll probably be a shock to some who were concerned profiteering vs National Defense. We’re at war with China. It’s a thing. It has been a thing. We’re just not shooting each other. Every signal within the DoD is to realign the capabilities towards a near peer threat in Indo-PACOM and we have about 5 years to fully position for it. Every DoD doctrine is being reframed from a COIN environment to a counter chess game in the Indo-PACOM.
This is all unclass, so I’m not telling anyone anything they can’t read open-source in Defense Weekly etc.
The best “fictional book” I’ve read recently on the region was an open sourced editing thing called the USS Kidd Incident. It’s a pretty quick read and the author is finished with it now.

I know it will not happen, but the first thing Brandon should do is recall Buttigieg back into the military and have him suck the wind of some of those Chinese leaders.
I’m sure that if Pete thought he could get a hold of some Chinese mule. His would move
Taiwan is the trigger. Haven’t heard anything specific. I’m hunting balloons \giantest of eyerolls
Something's gonna happen, soon.
It's going to start getting really interesting. You'll start to see butts puckering by the millions.
For some, it will be too late. Repent.

1950. And the main enemy was ... China. Funny thing about that though - Kim wouldn't invade the South without Joe Stalin signing off and Mao pledging support.
You mentioned Defense Weekly. Any other publications you might suggest in order to keep up on things?
What, they weren't secret Chinese hypersonic, anti-gravity vehicles that can surpass mach 5?
Color me not shocked.
National Defense Magazine
Janes is good from a released tech standpoint
The Drive sometimes has some good stuff.
Just following Sam.Gov will tell you all kinds of stuff from an acquisition plan. RFIs tied to specific Program Offices can tell you quite a bit from a roadmap and desire perspective. If you get really nerdy, you can just read the DOD budget.
Our company produces a daily that links to all of the happenings for products across the defense industry, at least in the markets we’re in.
