Big Country Expat

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes!
Nothing sez “overworked” than a stress fracture on my hoof Aye? Pressure/stress fracture on the leg foot from alllll the cooking/cleaning that I’ve been up to over the past? two months? including Thanksgiving?

Yeah, been a busy couple of weeks to say the least. We did Christmas Day at Gretchen’s Parents place, and it went great.
The foot hurts like a motherfucker, but hey? Foot pain is part and parcel of being a grunt… We had a lot of fun… well Gran#1 did, me and Gretchen? Notsomucho… not that we didn’t… it was more to the fact of having to make sure -everything-… gifts, food, parents and Gran were all doing the right thing, at the right time.

Gretch spent most of her time being ‘Johnny-on-the-Spot’ for her ‘rents, as well as ‘herding the cat’ known as the Redheaded Atomic Firestorm, AKA Gran#1.

Me? I was on the Cooks Detail per usual.

Missing from the pic is the mashed taters, as I went “Full Philistine” and made the Bob Evans Nukular Mashed Taters…

There’s only so much one dood can do in a compressed day…. I mean I think I did well… 3 pound boneless Turkey Breast (perfectly done), a three pound spiral cut baby Ham, my super-seekrit Dressing (which I’ll poast the recibe on in a minute at the bottom of the page as I’ve gotten a LOT of requests for it) and Garlic Green Beans…

Needless to say, I pulled it allllll off and everything came out of the oven/off the stove precisely on time so’s everything was fresh and piping hot.

The only major fuckup was I forgot to grab the bag of frozen-to-be-baked sourdough rolls when we left the Haus… dammit… Leaving the casa we were bringing so much bullshit I overlooked the rolls… pisses me off, but no one was overly upset… One of those “woulda been nice if” sort of things…

The gift opening went well. Gran#1 helped Pop-Pop (Gretchen’s Da) open my plaque I made for him:

…and that was the gift of the night… Dad was really happy about it… like majorly. For those who missed it:

Dad tripped the fuck out over it, as he’d lost/thrown away most of his shit from being ‘in’… he loved that I got the rockers made and it was the gift of the night.

Then Gran#1 got some ‘stuff’ as well… a couple of games, one being the classic ‘Operation’ and then no shit, SIMON if you can believe it:

Maaaaaaaaaaan… lot of memories from Simon. MomUnit and DeadDad had it back in the late 70s. They and their frens used to get stoned and -try- to play it… they had that version above, whish is the 1978 1st Edition. The new one is significantly smaller, but works the same… do far my best is 15 light/number combinations. The thing is cool, but frustrating AF…

The ‘RAF’ as we’ll call her for brevity (see above) got a pair of matching pink Sketchers that her GiGi (Gretchen) has… now all she needs is a pair of matching black leggings and top, and we’ll have a “Mini-Me” situation unfolding. And BTW, if you look in the background of this pic, you can see Dad wearing his Sailor Whites right behind the RAF’s head… I’m really glad I got to do up his service plaque… he’s called 2x times already today and mentioned how thrilled he is to have it… Makes me happy AF to have been able to do it for him TBH.

Moving on:

As far as international ‘stuff’ happening/current stoopid: It seems the Krainians managed to take out a BIG landing craft, specifically the Novocherkassk, a 320 Foot Amphibious Assault Ship.

It can carry up to 10 tanks and 340+/- personnel. The ship’s regular crew is 87 people. It got hit by what folks are saying are the Storm Shadow missiles, which were supplied by the Brits and the French.

Blew the ever-living FUCK out of it from the vidyas I’ve seen. It was docked and from the size of the explosion, it reminded me of the Arizona going full retard when the Japs hit the magazine on the Big A… got me a hunch something similar happened to the Novy, as it too went full retard and blow’d da fuq up HUGELY!

Credit where credit is due, Good Op. Not that it’ll mean anything except hurt the Russian Morale and Pocketbook, as I imagine that a boat like that costs a metric shit-ton of Rubles. On the other hand, word is that the two planes that launched the attack? A pair of SU-24 Fencers:

These being a knock-off Soviet version of the US FB-111. According to reports, they were shot down during the second attack run. They literally went and launched successfully, blew up the boat, RTB (returned to base) refueled and rearmed, and went back the same exact route for a second strike

Say fucking what!?!

NO IDEA what genius came up with that particular plan?

Tell you whut, NOW the Krainians are down MOAR two planes… Utterly Irreplaceable planes for that matter… I highly fucking doubt that they’ll ever see F-16 #1 anytime in the next year, if ever… That’s just my call… fucking morons I swear.

I mean it’s been a looooong minute since they had any significant amount of Aircraft at their disposal, and it seems they didn’t heed Han Solo’s admonition of “Don’t get cocky!” and decided to try and run another attack, the same day, using the same route.

Even at the lowest level (Infantry), we had beaten into our heads never use the same ingress/egress on an Op. Basic Operational Security 101. Something the Krainians apparently failed… again. If they know HOW/WHERE you got in? They’ll cover it after the fact.

That route you used to ESCAPE/EGRESS? Same dealio. Might as well catch someone else lacking in the brains department who decides to do the same thing again, which leads in most cases to a bad case of the “deads” which brings us to the aforementioned Fencers, which are probably toast/scrap at this point.

In fact, shit like this makes me question the basic IQ of the Krainians. Like when right before the BIG counter-offensive, where they had all these front line looking motherfuckers holding one finger up to their lips like “Sssssh!”

As if Ivan didn’t know this shit was coming

Makes me truly wonder if these guys are in Somalia-Levels of IQ Dumbassery? It’d make sense as I don’t think anyone with an IQ over 70 would be doing what these fucking retards are

Jes’ Sayin’

Either way, I do applaud them for getting it done. However, it’s tempered by the notes that followed (via 3rd Party Sources) that they fucked up and got two irreplaceable aircraft ‘Aced-Out’ so to speak… never mind if the crews lived or not either… I mean wow… great publicity, as I can’t find any Western Media who isn’t putting this ‘on blast’ (as if it mattered at this point) but man, talk about prolonging the end?

Then, in the Med, after ALL our ‘allies’ essentially told us to ‘pound sand’ regarding the non-stop unending Israeli Defense bullshit, well, like I wrote about a couple of days ago, this lil bit popped up:

What!?!
Waitaminute
Wait One……………
FIRST Missiles?
This has to be bullshit

Mainly because going back just a few weeks ago the DotMil was trumpeting how they were shooting down Houthi ‘stuff’ on the regular… I got me a hunch that now, since folks like me and CDR Salamander (linked substack) have been talking about potential ammunition shortages, the impossibility of reloads, and the general fucked-uppedness of the current US DotMil Navy sit-rep there in the Med, that now they say that they just NOW started throwing ABMs at the incoming Houthi ‘stuff’

So which is it?

Did you or did you not stop a bunch of Hostile Houthi Hardware Hightailing it at Hebrew Hosts via shooting them down with all them hi-speed/lo-drag SM-2 missiles? Or was it all bullshit?

Inquiring minds want to know, because as I read the FauxNews story, and it’s sort of ‘murky’ if you will. My own opinion is that since it went ‘public’ on just how much ammo these tin cans have, (or lack that thereof/reloading capacity) and how quickly that shit can get spent, nevermind the fact that at-sea reloads? Nope… shit ain’t happening…

In fact, I’m sure some Navy PIO (pubic information orifice, no misspellings fyi) puke decided they needed to reassure us, the fucking taxpayers who’re footing this retard-bill per usual, that No, they haven’t been using and expending the sooper expensive missiles that require the boat to go home to be reloaded in the defense of the Yids!

Nope, not those missiles…

We’ve been using these missiles…

Nothing to see here, these aren’t the droids you’ve been looking for, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, the check is in the mail and that broad was dead when I got here I promise…

I’d swear they’re gaslighting us, but since gas stoves and dryers under our current occupational dick-tater-shit wants to outlaw gas ‘anything’ I must me sorely mistaken amiright?

You tell me…
All I can do is sit here, be thankful my wife, best bro, and Gran are safe and cool, and that I have enough food and ammo to keep it that way. Let me know if you think I’m wrong or insane in the comments

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes!
Merry Christmas Eve to one and all. A celebration of the birth of The One. Hopefully, you and yours enjoy a Magnificent Evening of Peace, Love and Good Fellowship as it was intended.

We here at The Casa had a wonderful day and then evening. Prepping for our visit with Gran#1, as well as the trip up to see Gretchen’s Parents. We’re bringing an entire Christmas Day Dinner with all the fixin’s, Turkey, Mini-Ham, Dressing (my sausage based specialty one) Green Beans and Mashed Taters.

I also got Dads Christmas Gift done today finally.

I made him a service plaque. I had the patches made up with his name and his specialty, Machinist Mate 2nd Class and his boats that he served on. He served during Korea, but was in the Med the majority of his time in. The two boats he was on were as seen, the Zellars, DD-777 a Sumner Class Destroyer known as the “Zippin Z”

and the Bailey, DD-713 a Gearing Class Destroyer

Both boats were sold to Iran in 1970, and 1971 respectively. Last notice on either of them was that they got eventually scrapped in the late 70s.

Needless to say, they don’t make the rockers for them anymore BUT I did find a company in Newport News that did custom work… go figure… Navy Central there… and it -didn’t- cost me an arm and a leg… The plaque I painted up myself, with Gretchen helping ‘cos the carpal tunnel gives me some mighty bad shakes, so she did the fine-line work for the gold paint.

I’m sure he’ll love it.
Reason it took so long to get done and at the last minute was the plaque took forever to get here via the Zon, and the rank patch?

OMFG.

I started this project at the beginning of November just in case of retardation like that… Everything started to come together… hell, the custom patches? Like less than 10 days after ordering… the rank patch?

It got so bad I ended up sending some very nasty emails threatening grievous harm/financial impact if they didn’t get the fucking thing in the mail to me tout-le-fucking-suite. This was after multiple phone calls where I was assured that it was going out ‘any day now’… Told ’em I’m slag them to all my DotMil folks, to include the Navy Times, and see how that affects the biz?

Fucking thing got here like 4 days after that. Which was on the 20th. When I ordered it on November 7th!!!!! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!?! Gah! THIS is what we speak of when we talk about eventual cascading systemic failure(s) amiright? And yep, the phone calls? All handled by Muh Diversity! females who probably promptly forgot all about me and my order the second the phone was hung up.

Fuck ’em. I got it done, that’s what matters.

Now, for dinner, we went a bit overboard. We had a gift box of Omaha Steaks that we broke out the bacon-wrapped Filet Mignons from, and Sapper and I got the surf to go with the turf, namely half a pound of scallops, and three Maine (theoretically) Lobster Tails… $10 for the scallops, and the tails were $6 a throw… small, but considering the “Royal Level” of the eats?

I mean Hell, it’s once a year.

(quick aside: This may be the last year we get a chance to do this, so, I’d say it’s time to Carpe That Fuckin’ Diem Aye?)

A minor splurge for premium grub either way can’t be beat.
The blackened filet BTW isn’t burned, that’s the spice crust that’s seared on… the steak itself was magnifico… the side was Mac n Cheese and a slice of cheesy Texas Toast that I added a splash of garlic salt to before I hit it in the air fryer.

As far as gifties?

I got Sapper the appropriate t-shirt as you can see…

Gretchen got me a really cool bowling shirt with “Big Country” embroidered on it, as well as some new under-mah-pants, and Sapper and I teamed up to get her a purse she wanted (my gift), as well as a matching clutch/mini-purse (Sapper’s gift) which made her exceptionally happy-happy.

All in all, a mellow, thoroughly enjoyable Christmas was had by all… I hope and Pray y’all have a similar experience, and I’ll be back probably the day after tomorrow, as the aforementioned day is rather jam-packed.

Merry Christmas From Myself, Gretchen and Sapper

Busy-Busy up ’round here yonder… Gift Wrapping and cleaning, and setting up Gran#1 New Bed over the past two days. She’s outgrown the toddler bed… actually has been for a while. Budgetary concerns also was part of the equation until Gretchen had a multi-chick gig that paid out $550 for the Bride, Maid of Honor and Mother of the Bride.

And unlike some past clients she’s had, they were great, left a great review as well as a $100 tip on top. That was about $200 an hour +/- for about 3 hours work. Great if you can get it. She’s now also booked solid for the New Year… before, during and after. So post-gig, she sprung for a new Queen sized bed:

Again, the bane of Modern Man:
“Some Assembly Required”

We already had a mattress for it, a Caspar no less from when we (Gretch and Me) upgraded from a Queen to a Cali-King as we’re both needing the space I’m BIG and she’s an Amazon… As far as assembly? All 10,000 pieces-parts? Sapper and I got it done, and then Gretchen busted out the other ‘things’ that she got (the comforter as you can see) and matching sheets, shams, pillows, all the girly-girl stuff you can imagine. You can’t really tell, but the walls have a ton of silver glitter mixed into the paint as well, so the place ‘shimmers’ when the fairy-lights on the back wall start running through the program…

Hey man, I just live here amiright?

Other things: Concerned American put it up as a favor as I was talking to my Man G, who runs Dissident Rags, who’s got a spot over on the sidebar.

I don’t make any commission, in fact HE just gifted me a coffee mug one time as a “Thank You” for the writing and laughs. He did it custom as seen here:

My name and the Regimental (Rakkasan) Motto “Ne Desit Vitus” or “Let Valor Not Fail”. It was really decent of him to do this, and so I threw him up on the sidebar. Unfortunately, he let me know thibngs have been tough (as they are everywhere) lately and he might have to shut down.

So give him a hit and see if you like any of his gear. He’s got some great designs IMO. Hopefully we can help one of /ourguys over a hump right? Besides, I don’t have anyone to fill that spot if he closes down…

Other biddness: Lots of ‘Muh Diversity’ fun and games going on out there. Art Sido has been innudated with so many Monkeyshines, I swear he’s going to need another writer just to keep up. His house is “Dissident Thoughts” where he’s got some good writing going on as of late.

I also got ‘in’ on a deal to test out some new Ammunition. Sapper found a request for Bloggers and Social Media folks to test out some new PMC Defense Ammunition. The company that asked is Bulk Munitions and he sent me a link that had me put in my pertinent info. Wasn’t sure if this was a scam, but what the hell?

I got an “Approval” email and instructions on how to get my BeeBees. Less than 5 days later:

100 Rounds of the new PMC SFX 124gn Hollow points.

It’s selling on Bulk Munitions for $34.00 a box. It’s a Jacketed Hollow point, supposed to be waterproof, and meets FBI/Law Enforcement standards for duty requirements. After Christmas, I plan on doing some Range Therapy, and I’ll do a review then.

I’ll probably only use one box tho, as 124gn JHP “cop rounds” are expensive and keeping the additional 50 available for spicy times is recommended. Either way, we’ll see. I don’t have access to any ballistic gel or the like (I wish!) but I have seen some recibes on YewToob so maybe?

Have to see what the ingredients are.

It would be stellar if I could home-brew it. Got me some stuff I’d like to test personally. I mean the majority of munitions out there, if there’s a bullet, I’m sure somewhere someone did a vidya of it being used into some BG.

As far as the rest of the world? Meh.
Let. It. All. Burn.
Selfish I know, but if’n it’s not affecting me and mine directly?

Leave me alone, just to enjoy the Season. We did a ‘mini-tree’ today, as opposed to the usual large one, as we don’t know how Beans AKA Penis the Cat would be. Last thing I want is a tree with allllll sorts of heirloom and nice decorations to get put up, and at 0300, hear the crash and smash, followed by Gretchen crying b/c her Great Grandma’s heirloom crystal decoration bit the big ‘un. AT which point I have to make mittens out of the kittah. So we went teeny-tiny, but still pretty.

So Merry Christmas if’n I slow down on Ye Olde Poastage. I’m probably still going to keep throwing ‘stuff’ up and keep following the usual suspects. Otherwise it’s time for Netflix and Chill with Gretch, and some Nog with Rum.

Ok… so the past two-three days was a stone cold nasty. NO IDEA what it was (although I’ve heard thru the grapevine there’s a nasty stomach bug oot and aboot) but after publishing the poast on Tuesday? Night? I ended up in the latrine every. single. hour. on. the. hour.

Like “set your watch to it” sort of thing…

Needless to say, didn’t get a whole lot of rest that night. Wednesday I pretty much got up, and did the barest minimum to qualify the day as a “work day” as truthfully, I was a mess. The nice thing about The People’s Glorious Tractor Factory #206 is that IF you are so fortunate as to be ahead in production, one can slack a bit on days like this, just as long as when the end of the work-call you’ve done enough for ‘spec’ so to speak… “They Pretend to Pay Us, While We Pretend to Work” I think is the applicable phrase… Anyways…

Managed to stave off dehydration via the BritMRE Hydration packets… I have a boatload of them, and they’re really good, never mind actually tasty… the Raspberry being exceptionally good… two or three of those kept me from needing a trip to the ER for dehydration as I was in a bit of a state of bother as the Brits would have said.

So, ‘came to’ today, relatively operational, but still…

Been working too hard and all that rot. Have to get a bit of a better balance. The great news is that my membership to the YMCA via the VA Move Program came through. That’s the fatbody program where they have you go through alllll sorts of fiery hoops in order to get a 3 month membership paid for via Uncle Sugar at the “Y”. It’s renewable after the initial 3 months… which I intend on making sure as joining the “Y”?

OMFG expensive
To join as a ‘single’ at 30+, is a $29 joining fee, and $56 a month. Not for nothing, but that’s pricey for a DotGov subsidized program. I belonged to the “Y” under the “Lance ‘One-Nut’ Armstrong” Foundation when I had Cancer that time, however, it was luike for 2 months only which to me? Seemed a bit paltry considering the amount of bux that One Nut had been gathering for his foundation.

The Grift™ is apparently Universal, and Everywhere.

So, a BIG reason I’m so pumped tho is the one in question that I joined? It has a pool… Lap pool no less, plus exercise plans for the pool. All Low Impact which is what I need at my stage of the game. Lets face it… I’m no longer 30… hell 40? Shiiiiiit… 50 is now in the fucking rear view as well, so I need to realize and adjust. I start tomorrow as that’s also the beginning of the days off we’ve been given.

Now, other things besides the obvious ‘stuff’ we got going on… Colorado? Don’t know, don’t care. They’re retarded in that by tipping their hand this early it’s going to make it uglier than they can even imagine… Art Sido did a GREAT Writeup HERE

Whatevz…
This shit’s going to happen ALLLLL over the place
Up til motherfuckers start getting shot.

Leviathan, for ALL it’s power, has no idea the level of shit they’re playing with. Personally, I’m content to let it all burn, as Myself? OrangeManBad didn’t do shit to stop anything because of the (((influence))) of his worthless Son-In-Law… let him and theirs rot.

However, there’s a LOT of folks who aren’t as forgiving as me…

I’d say they’re the ones to watch out for
Jes’ Sayin’ as I’m wont to do.

Otherwise, It’s Christmas!
Gretchen and I did a couple of Gifties for Gran#1, Big K as I’ll call her as OtherGrans don’t want me putting too much info out there, which I can respect. She’s got a MAJOR mermaid thing going on… so one of the ‘we made this gifties’ we did was Gretchen found a set of “Whale Tail” clothes hangers on Amazon:

Now, those are very very “Cape Cod-ish” if you… I will grew up with that sort of ‘decoration’ in the relatives house(s), especially on and or ‘down on the Cape’…

Gretchen and I however, changed things up a bit:

According to OtherGrans, Gran#1 (5yrs old going on 6) has a bad habit of coming home from school and dropping her gear -wherever- as opposed to hanging it up/putting it away. Big K –might– be encouraged to hang up her shytte IF she’s got a “Mermaid Tail Hanger” to do it on, which is how we’re looking at it.

I did the color selection and initial design, Gretch did the scales and detail work as my pseudo-Parkinson’s has me shaking too much to do anything better…

Hopefully she likes them/it… OtherGrans think this might be the trick to getting her to hang up her shit when she gets home from school… we’ll have to see.

Otherwise, all our Gifts Via The Zon arrived to Adriana’s current residence, and of course we’ve gotten ZERO acknowledgement, despite having dropped more than we could realistically afford. I’m not sure how to approach this non-violently.

It’s killing me literally

So I’ll leave it at that, as I got enough ‘rocks in my ruck’ right now, and don’t need to double down on ‘teh stoopid’ of the Baby Daddy and the Crypt Keeper. I’m soooooooooo over it especially knowing there’s NO LEGAL RECOURSE as the entirety of the system there is corrupt as FUCK. Hell… we got a mocking message from Dumbcunt LAUGHING at us, as the woman who go appointed to the Juvenile Judge Position after OUR “Judge” got nailed for corruption?

HER fucking Public Lawyer assigned to her by the courts as she was indigent and broke as a joke. Apparently, said “New Judge” (according to DumbCunt) told her that she’d be getting Addy back shortly as now that she’s the Judge, she can do whatever she wants to insure Addy “…gets back to her Mama where she belongs…”

I’m not even going to go that deep into it except to call “Bullshit”… DumbCunt at best is a bit of a fantasist, and I think this’s part of it. Hell, recently, it’s come to light that DumbCunt is an actual prostitute as well as a cam-whore. She’s soooo far gone it’s insane… her BF (10 years younger than her!) of the current timeframe is also a Big-Time Weed Dealer in Western Virginia, and tied into some bad people from what I’m getting, so I have a hunch her ‘shelf life’ is in the double digits month-wise…

Right now I’m banking on the Crypt Keeper to cash in as no one else in that Family (Baby Daddy Side) is capable, either physically, legally or financially of taking care of Addy long term. We’ll have to see.

I gotta cut this off… Getting angry AF here.

Lots of ‘things’ going out there in the world… too much happening. To the point that there’s so much spin out there that even -I’m- getting Dizzy AF. A ‘Proper Analysis’ is just going by the wayside in favor of the usual Propaganda from “the Usual Suspects” i.e. The Ministries of Lies and (of course) Propaganda to the point the no one seems to know what’s REALLY going on at any given point.

I mean we know know for certain that there’s always been a ‘certain amount of bullshit’ out there. The JFK shewtin’, The MLK shewtin’, UFOs, MK-Ultra and a shitload from the column marked ‘other’ have always been the subject of Obfuscation by the Powers That Be or whatever the ‘name/flavor of the week’ that “they” keep being referred to. “Knowledge is Power” and by keeping the truth away from folks, that in particular keeps the “POWER” in the hands of a certain select few, namely the aforementioned Powers That Be.

Truth of the matter is, ‘They’ like it that way, and the majority of ‘normies’ out there like it that way too, as in many instances “Ignorance is Bliss”. Hell, even me, myself, and I enjoy a certain amount of ignorance on some subjects… in particular lately having seen Twinkie-the-Kid getting assblasted in the Hearing Room? File that under ‘things I wish I’d really not looked at’…

Now, having said that, there are some subjects that’ve become come up as of late. Some of which that are Incontrovertible Facts that while unpleasant, well, truthfully a fact doesn’t care… it just is.

One of them is that the MAJORITY of the West, the West being defined as NATO and the US/GAE, is almost completely out of ammunition due to the gross expenditures in the Krain over the past two years of ‘teh stoopid.’ And owing to the greed, lack of foresight, and general malaise that Leviathan allowed to happen, there’s damned near no way in hell to replace nor produce the amount of ammunition that’s needed now for what has become a two-front war, meaning the Krain and the ¡Genociding! of the Palestinians by the Israelis.

It’s so bad that 20,000 shells earmarked for Krainfeld and his Koterie of Kocaine Snorting Klowns were re-routed to the IDF to assist in the wonton slaughter of lil kids and women. Can’t have them running out of ammo before they finish the job donchaknow?

Now… a BIG part of the reason for the lack of manufacturing capacity is besides the downsizing, offshoring and selling off the mechanisms and means of production (the tooling, presses and whatnot) there’s a relatively unmentioned issue about the ability to expand the production at the preexisting facilities. That being that the arsenals themselves?

Well according to a paper done by 1st LT (of the Turkish DotMil no less!) “Optimizing the Capacity and Operation of US Army Ammunition Production Facilities” written back in 2002, (link HERE) there are currently 16 Arsenals in the US that provide ALL of the primary manufacturing for the DotMil Kaboomie-Boom.

The names and production are in figure 2:

Now, the acronyms above for ‘Management’ of the Plants:
GOCO: Government Owned Contractor Operated
GOGO: Government Owned Government Operated

then, under ‘Mission’
LAP: Load Assemble and Pack (meaning where all the ‘stuff’ gets put together for shipment to the various locations, like the Krain and/or storage stateside.

Per an extract from the paper: “In summary, of the 16 facilities under review (See Table 2), two are GOGO “hard iron” arsenals that manufacture ordnance items, three are GOGO AAPs, and 11 are GOCO AAPs.” (AAP = Army Ammunition Plant(s)

The paper is TBH fascinating. A great breakdown of how even back in 2002, a Turk LT was pointing out how fucked up the situation was then vis-à-vis ammunition and production for the GAE. Lots of good info in there, but I’ll leave it for you to go over it if you want…

Sorry, tangent… anyways, back to the point:

One point NOT mentioned but I’ve seen in a few places is the age of a LOT, in fact almost ALL of our Arsenals.

Just as an Example? Our Oldest? That’s Watervliet Arsenal where we have like the only arsenal that makes High-Caliber Cannon barrels? It started in 1813. That’s 210 years ago. And for that reason, there’s a problem. A HUGE number of the buildings and whatnot on the facility itself are on the National Historic Register which means they’re (theoretically) INVIOLATE.

Yeah yeah, I know, ‘true emergency’ and all that, but if there’s one thing we know is that once something like that happens, it takes an Act of God to reverse it… which means the majority of our Arsenals, while yes, they can keep doing what they’re doing, at the same rate that they’ve always been doing it (too slow for todays lesson) but it means that they’re never going to be able to ramp up for all the Wars that Leviathan seems to be salivating over/provoking.

And building entirely new facilities?

Who’s going to ‘front’ the ducats for that? I mean the majority of companies out there are hesitant AF to build for-sure profitable ‘stuff’ however, the “amount invested versus time to become profitable” means most companies won’t risk the $$$. Add on also, that depending on the opponent and type of war initiated, whomever builds this sort of business has to know that eventually, it’ll be a target. Be it of terrorism or flat-out bombing/nuke/NBC or what have you… the “Bad Guys” sure as hell don’t want their opponents to be able to make the means to blow them up.

Just like Rheinmetall talking about building a Tank Manufacturing plant in the Krain… Yeeeeeeeah… best of luck there Herman… Ivan’ll blow that fucking place to pieces-parts no matter -who- it theoretically built it/owns it… We blew the ever-loving shit out of Germany, the Ruhr River Valley in particular to cripple the German War Manufacturing capacity.

So, the Logistics and Expense make it Prohibitive for us to realistically build new Kaboomie-Boom Manufacturing Plants. No one seems to want to invest in it, which is a huge thing, nevr mind that IF they were to actually build a new plant?

Who are they going to get to work there?

Skilled machinists and guys who work at places like that for the most part have aged the fuck out. Wirecutter used to work at one of the plants back in the day… guys like Phil are also in the “Fuck you, going fishing” part of their careers… in fact the majority of High Schools no longer even offer a shop class which is where a lot of the mechanically inclined kids got their introduction to that sort of work… Hell, even me, I’m now 54. Ain’t no fucking way no fucking how am I willing to start working in some Arsenal, despite having some ability to run a lathe… badly mind you, but I -do- know how, which the majority of kids now have zero fucking clue as to what a Lathe IS never mind how to run one.

The logisitics to do -any- of these plans at this point? Not seeing it coming to fruition anytime soon. Which then brings me to another thing I saw the other day. Now, this’s a bit long, but RTWT:

Now, as you scroll down, he point out something:

And right there, that’s the crux of the matter

The Navy, since October has been shooting down, almost on the daily Houthi cruise missiles, drones and what have you. Simplicius put a few fantastic charts of what seems to have been ‘shakin’ in the Area of Operations as of late, one being the ships in the Area, as well as the state of affairs regarding actions taken on the defense.

This pic here shows about three weeks worth of incidents, from November 27th, to December 15th:

The next one shows the current (approximate) number of boats (to include Chinese) operating in the area since December 17th:

According to this, there’s only 4 DDG Arleigh Burke class ships in the area. One the aforementioned Carney, the other three being the Mason, Gravely and Stethem. That means that in total, there’s 360 Vertically Launched SM-2 missiles available…

Leastways there was 360 available.

Now?
Tough call.
And even tougher? According to Sal (the Twitter Dood who’s poast I have above) He states “…the ability to reload VLS cells, the nature of the tubes require the ships to be in calm water at anchor or pierside and it is time consuming. As of yet, no method has been developed to reload VLS at sea.” as there’s no other way to do it available.

Used to be that they had a ship called a destroyer tender that could do the job, but as Sal also states in the thread:

Is there anything that our DotGov and DotMil haven’t fucked up in the past 30+ years!?! I suppose “Not having gotten us nuked by someone who’s pissed off at us” –might– count on the plus side, but judging from past actions, both in the WAAAAY past and even current past, I’d chalk that up to “Dumb Fucking Luck” at this point.

Now, I know I’ve been going a while here, and yeah, I made the point that we appear to be well on our way to “one serious incident away” from a major war due to our own inability to have prepared due to our “Lords and Masters” avarice and shortsightedness. Thing of it is the ‘how’ and ‘when’ of it.

My own theory is that there is a plan.

Lots of folks have been plainly wondering just why the other Arab nations haven’t joined in the ‘fun and games’ in defending the Palestinians. The ¡Genociding Games! have been rolling full speed for a while now, and yet even Hezbollah, the Lunatic Lebanese Based Fringe of the Fuzzy-Wuzzy Cult of Kaboom hasn’t really started any shit yet. My thought are that there is one, and we’re actively seeing it unfold now.

The trick is the same play that Putin has been doing in the Krain. He set his guys up via tactical retreats to Hard Points and Defensive Belts that had the Krainians literally smashing themselves up on for the past 8-10 months, without any sort of real gains. The Krainaians despite ALL the Ministry of Propaganda and Lies best attempts to tell the Opposite a’la BizzarroWorld, have been smashing themselves retarded in minefields, firebags and generally losing a lot more than they’re taking. Even the Washington Post has been questioning the intelligence of them beating their metaphoric heads against the wall bloody without any meaningful gains.

In the case here?
OK… lets say the plan is to have the Houthis, as disorganized and well, pathetically small ‘Militia’ as they are, they’ve been supplied very well by the Iranians for their ongoing fight with the Saudis. The very fact that the Saudis, even with alllll the whizz-bang neet-o US supplied Tanks, Gadgets and Wunderwaffen haven’t been able to crush them (the Houthi) in a conflict that dates back to 2015.

So these jokers start by launching allll sorts of shit towards Israel. This in turn has /ourguys, specifically the Navy, start shooting down all that gear. They keep doing it until

Oops.
No more ‘bullets’

Now, taken to an extreme, can you imagine what happens when the Navy is now incapable of stopping any cruise missiles or drones no matter who fires them or where they’re fired from?

Lets say for fantasy league here that Iran, now knowing that the Navy ain’t got shit to use, decides that it can start by lighting up one of the Carriers that’s floating around in the Gulf… say the Eisenhower… while at the same time, Hezbollah goes ‘heavy’ in from the North, and the Egyptians say “Fuck It!” and roll in from the South…

It’ll go from “Dumb” to “Stupid” in a few seconds.

Considering how feckless and dumb our current group running the show with the Puppet known as The Pretender to the Glorious and Harmonious P&PBUH (Plus 10%) Orifice of The (p)Resident, The Dementor-in-Chief, Emperor Poopypants the First, Chief Executive of the Kidsmeller Pursuivant, Good Ole Slo Xi-Den, I’d say the odds would be 50-50 that we’d cut and run, rather than get fully engaged, as we don’t have anything to engage them with at this point.

Hell, the icing on the cake and the reason I think there might be a slim possibility that this’ll happen is that the ‘signaling’ coming from ole Poopypants has been less-than-supportive of the current ¡Genocidal Jews! killing anything and anyone that moves in Gaza. Them brazenly shooting the Catholic mother and daughter seeking shelter at that Monastery was a corpse too far for a lot of people…

We’ll have to see.

Tired man… didn’t sleep last night for some reason or another. Just sort of -laid there-. Not a lot of fun, and then went straight into working at The People’s Glorious Tractor Factory #206, which in itself this week is a complete shitshow in that the rest of the proletariat in our department took a bourgeoise vay-kay, leaving me and the Commissar of the Department to carry the load until Thursday.

So, not much more but Doc sent me an interesting article written by Andrew Anglin, the guy who did the “Daily Stormer”:

The link to the article is HERE

I find it utterly hilarious personally… Anglin went from being the “Ultimate Boogeyman” representing “Sooooper-Anti-Semitism” to being a “Meh” sort of guy. The ADL itself (another group of fucking nutjobs) supposedly labeled him as “the most prominent American anti-Semite.” (according to him of course). He’s crazier than a shithouse rat IMO… extremists of all types generally are.

The problem is when the nutbars start sounding rational?
That’s when you start to see that “We got real problems!”

The TL;DR of the article above is essentially:

1. The official definition of “antisemitism” before October 7, 2023 was “hating Jews for no reason.”
2. The post-7/10 definition of “antisemitism” is “saying Jews should stop killing babies.”
   
   Dunno about you, but that does sort of sound insane-ish doesn’t it? Just like the Star Wars meme of Alderaan being blown the fuck away for a rumor that there was a Hamas Operative on the planet, so Ergo, they were within their rights to exterminate billions of people, and to say otherwise makes you an eeeeevil Anti-Semite:

Crazy AF right?

Personally I’m in the camp of “Stop Killing Children You Godless Fucks!” I’ve seen some footage that’s being hidden by the Ministries of Lies and Propaganda that’s made me physically ill… one stands out, a wounded lil Girl, in terror, crying, with shrapnel wounds, who is or maybe even -was- at this point… who the fuck knows, the same age as Adriana. When I see a lil Girl, same age as my Gran, hurt, terrified, confused, and alone?

“Killing Frenzy” comes leaping to mind…

I do NOT care whatever reason you use to excuse it…

KILLING -INNOCENT-CHILDREN IS INHERENTLY EVIL AND -ANYONE- WHO CONDONS SUCH AN ACT IS EVIL AS WELL
PERIOD. FUCKING. DOT.

They want to kill Hamas?
Have the fuck at it.
Let ’em slaughter each other.
They and theirs deserve every. single. thing. they got coming.

Killing Kids?

Zero Fucking Excuses EVER.
Both Fucking Sides.

The fucking IDF is as bad, if not worse than ALL of the SS/SD who performed the same. exact. type. of exterminations in World War Two. In fact, At least the Krauts had the balls to do it face-to-face, unlike the fucking cowards in the IDF who’re content to just blast them with bombs from afar.

What Inverse Fucking Insane Asylum are We living in when We have Ukrainian NAZIs fighting Russians, while being led by a Jew, and Israeli Forces ACTING like actual fucking NAZIs and performing genocide on the Palestinians!?!

Stop the motherfucking World.
I want off man…
SO, in light of THAT particular shit, lets have some bunnies Gretchen sent me to cheer me up:

As I said, she sent this to me to cheer me up, but also to ask:

“Can we get one???”

Oh Hells No!
Between the two cats, and the dog, lil itty-bitty Bunny would be Hassenpfeffer inside of an hour, tops. Go figure amiright?

And of course in the words of The Critical Drinker:

OK…
Who had Gay Anal Sex in the Senate Chambers for December?

Annnnnnnnd a quick minute after the usual (((suspects))) came jumping to the defense of this fucking twink:

That would be from the LGTBQRSTUVWXY and Z online mag the “Washington Blade” as in The Gay Blade… seems the culprit is (currently is that is, as I expect this guy to be a ‘was’ shortly and self-delete) a now-former Senate Staffer and/or AID(s) Aidan Maese-Czeropski.

OF COURSE his immediate action was to post on Every. Single. Social Media site he’s part of (to include LinkedIn) a denial, with counter accusations, and a threat of ‘legal action’:

Which was, quite surprisingly, NOT taken very well by the Gay Community. On LinkedIn, the comments are fucking brutal and utterly dripping with contempt and scorn, (hence my belief he’ll self-delete). The two I’m throwing up here are just two quick examples:

There are a LOT more, but the general consensus is that this Twink is now a marked man by the Gay Community. The Fag Mafia ain’t no joke either… this clown really fucked up by A) doing it, and then B) doubling down on ‘teh stoopid’ thinking he’s Bill (or maybe even Hilliroid) in the standard DemoncRat move of “Deny Everything, Make Counter Accusations”, and adding the latest move “Threaten Legal Action”.

Plus… Putting this all up on fucking LinkedIn????

Yeah
This fucker is toast
Good Luck there getting a job like anywhere ever again…

And the follow up on it is apparently the guy “dooking him in the glutes” is a German National named Georg Gauger. He’s the guy who poasted this up on whatever fag-porn site it was discovered on, said-Kraut poasted the vidya (disgusting AF BTW, do not look for it if you want to keep dinner down) But as I was saying, his comment on the fagsite was bragging FFS:

“In this very room: Sonia Sotomayor had her confirmation hearing. James Comey testified on Russian interference in the 2016 elections. Aiden got some thick German sausage and a jager sauce finish.”

EUUUWWWW!!!EUUUWWWW!!!EUUUWWWW!!!

Gross me the fuck out… as Moon Unit Zappa said in the 1982 classic movie “Valley Girl”: “Gag me with a spoon fer sure!”
<BLAAARRRG!!!>

Now, couple of oddities:
Seems the ‘bottom’ here, ole Aidan, was working for DemoncRatic Maryland Senator Ben Cardin. Cardin is known for having spoken at length regarding the sanctity and violation of said-sanctity by the J6 Political Prisoners. Wonder if he’ll call for the same level of punishment for the two faggots?

Of course not silly
They’re faggots AND one at least is a DemoncRat, which means they’ll get a bye on this one. Now mind you, he may get away with it, if only so that the Deep State Leviathan can again rub our faces in the two-teir Just-Us System, however

Methinks that this kid is done as the gay community are really pissed off and as I said, the Gay Mafia doesn’t play by the normal rules that us straights play with. THAT is why I think this kid is on the self-delete track… may not be now, may not even be soon, but I’d say he’s a dead man walking. There’s also another reason I think this’s the case, and I’ll hit that as we go along….

The other oddity of which I spoke is that Aidan is registered as a foreign agent under the FARA act. According to Laura Loomer, he was registered as

“The purpose of his registration pertains to the US-Dominican Republic Bilateral Relationship.”

Now, lots of folks have to register as part and parcel of the job. HOWEVER what –I– find interesting is that Twinkie-the-Kid worked on Immigration Issues for Senator Dianne Feinstein as an Intern before going to work for Cardin.

You do know that the next-door-neighbor to the D.R. is Haiti right? Raise your hand if you remember the tie-in to Haiti, hell the whole area in general regarding child trafficking back in 2010? That was when Laura Silsby, whith very strong ties to the Clinton Foundation was ARRESTED by Haitian Authorities for kidnapping children after that massive earthquake back then, and moving them into the child trafficking network via THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

DAMN!

To be honest, I think I’m the first to make the connection. Back then, fucking NPR (National Pubic Radio” did an article and in it, stated

“Silsby has said publicly that she had permission and paperwork from the Dominican Republic to bring the Haitian children into that country from Haiti.”

Which the Dominican Republic’s Consul General in Port Au Prince said “Bullshit!” and things sort of kind of faded as most things involving the Clinton Criminal Cabal are wont to do…

Jes’ Sayin’

Personally, one thing I’m pretty sure of is that this particular ‘ratline’ feeding young innocents into the Maw of Ba’al is still ongoing. Child Rapists gonna Rape, until the MorBark gets involved, so I’m pretty sure that Twinkie-the-Kid’s role as a Immigration assistant or whatever… any bets that if you did a FOIA request as to what paperwork this kid pushed might have something to do with moving young ‘orphans’ to the states?

I don’t take sucker bets…
I will say however, the standard MorBark, well, as much as I love it, (and the name) the reality is as it’s been exposed… well….

Which brings me to introduce to y’all
The Magnum Force CBI 8400 Industrial Chipper:

Now that is a thing of beauty.
700 cubic meters per hour of Pedos?
Dayum Son!
Now that’s a chipper baby.

I mean realistically, I know my tie-in points are thin… like really thin… but then again, Riggs and Murtaugh’s links with Dixie were pretty fucking thin too.

And these days, one’s tinfoil can never be too tight, nor enough in the depravity department we have out there now.

Who knows?
Now IF he turns up with a bad case of the “deads” vis “suicide by being shot in the back, 14 times while self-decapitating with a chainsaw” well then, guess you can make of it what you will. I -do know- however, as I stated, or rather the tweet that Mike Collins said at the top… well this kid done really fucked up… I mean

Yeeeeeeah
About that…

So, that’s all I got on this particular shytteshow. Spent the majority of the day doing the kitchen floor… like serious in depth cleaning. Like a 15% or 20% Acid Based Grout cleaner, and then scrubbing the fuck out of it with a brush… the floor hasn’t been this clean in like forever… didn’t get done until like 8pm… whew…

And last night I didn’t get a chance to do Ye Olde Blegg as I got a $50 gift card from my Direct Commissar as a Christmas gift, so Gretchen and I did the Carrabbas thing. Had me the Shrimp and Scallops in a Vodka sauce… OMFG good A -mite- light on the scallops (4 of them in the whole plate) but understandable as currently fresh?

Like $38 a pound, which is a bloody shame as I love me some of those buggers. I could eat two pounds on my own… have in fact back in the day when I used to go a harvest my own up in New England during summers on the Cape… my Favorite is to do the Baked/Stuffed mode… a dollop of dressing on top, butter, lemon juice and braise them in the oven at high heat…

God, I’m drooling as I type this…

Anyways… what do you think of my theory on this? Plausible or not? Let me know in the comments

Yannow, you give an inch and some assholes take a mile. Fudge-Packer keeps coming around here, and normally I delete his shytte. My question is what sort of mentally ill retard thinks I’m going to engage any further with an asshole like that? Anyway…

Last night Sapper and I while discussing the ‘lack of early life credentials’ for L.T. Gen’Rul Aguta, he pointed something out that I may have overlooked.

He’s ultimately disposable.

Looking at it from that POV, it makes sense.
A LT Gen’rul comes with a whole slew of staff, from the Piss Boy to the Coffee Colonel. Figure at least 20-25 doodz. At which point, “General Expendable” AND his staff get utterly atomized in a missile strike or whatnot. I mean in Bakhmut the Russians actually allowed the Krainians to evacc the NATO staff that were on hand, directing the battle from the Steel Plant there… they paused just enough to let the 1 Star and a few ‘other ranks’ from various countries get out so as to not to completely embarrass the participants and their countries.

Got me a hunch that since then? Vlad is done. No more “Mister Nice Guy” so to speak. The very fact that we’re openly talking about ‘running the show’ is bad enough… this’s going to become “Vietnam Part 2: We Didn’t Learn Jack Shit The First Time!” DotMil Advisors? Oh yeah… Blind leading the Suicidal Blind is what I reckon.

Add on that his command of 7th ATC? Means he has a lot of time doing “Wargames” as Hohenfels is the NTC of EUCOM. That is, the National Training Center of the European Command. NTC is a unforgiving hellhole located in the Mohave Desert that’s located at Fort Irwin Califruitopia. Hohenfels is where the US Army OPFOR (Opposing Force) trains EUCOM units and other foreign DotMils like the Germans, the Dutch, the Brits and like anyone who wants to pay to get schooled by the OPFOR in maneuver warfare.

Back when -I- was there, we wore black BDUs with Black Berets and drove VISMOD vehicles (Visually Modified). Which essentially meant a bunch of strapped on bullshit fiberglass hulls to make our HMMWVs look like BRDMs (they didn’t) and the M113s look like BMPs (again, NOT!) The interesting thing about 1/4 Infantry was that we, as far as I know, were the last unit running M-60A3 tanks as T-62s. ALL the M-60s had been looooooong retired except for ours…

They were pretty much (like all our vehicles) the bottom of the barrel two yards from the scrap heap junkers… After the collapse of the Soviet Union, there was a time when they thought about actually using real former ComBlock tanks and shytte. They ended up not doing it due to potential maintenance issues (spare parts) and size issues as the inside of a T-62?

OMFG tiny!!!!
Made for itty-bitty Mongolian/Siberian troops, 6 foot tall ‘Muricans do NOT fit nor need apply… The ONE BRDM that they had at NTC?

That’s it, with a TOW system on top…

Well… they found out that
A) They don’t run too well, and
B) that there’s a ’emergency fuel dump’ lever in the driver’s hole. Seems that IF the BRDM gets hit, the driver is supposed to dump the fuel, rather than let it spray around inside and potentially cook the crew. The guy who discovered it caused, no shit, a full on EPA crisis as dumping 150 gallons of diesel in pristine desert is a BIG no-no.

Germany was even worse re: environmental issues.

ANY fuel spill? OMFG. You were utterly fucked if the Krauts found out. Every. Single. Drop. of contaminated fuel/oil/hydro fluid on the ground? You dig up a one-foot-by-one-foot-by-one-foot-deep hole AROUND that one fucking droplet and take ALL that now-contaminated soil to a Hazardous Waste site.

Needless to say, we never reported any sort of spills.

Even when CSC-20, our Platoon Leader’s HMMWV hit a BFR and it speared the oil pan… a BFR being a Big Fucking Rock. Dumped about 7-8 quarts of dirty oil on the ground, and we pretty much covered it with dirt, hid it, and towed the truck back to the motor hole before Herman The German found out.

“Oil spill? What oil spill Mein Herr? We know nuzzing of any oil spill!”

That was our story and we were sticking to it.

Back to the original notion about “Aguta the Aimless”.
Thing about him, IF he gets wasted, no great loss. It does however mean that it might give the fucktard in charge the casus belli to start really ramping up “Teh Stoopid”. Now HOW they’re going to do that, what with the current BIG Army lack of, well, people and you know, actual warfighters is beyond me.

That being said tho, the people inside of the District of Criminality Beltway aren’t zigzactly known for brains, nor having a foot set in reality. To them, (mostly boomers mind you) is that we still have the MOAST POWERFUL AND GREATEST DOTMIL EVVAR!!! That it’ll crush the Orcish Commie Hordes, and welcome in a new Judeo-GloboHomo-Corporate Empire!!!!

Sheesh… the drugs these lunatics are on must be the good stuff

Wish I could get some
Jes’ Sayin’

But then, other things…
Not much more to talk about in the Krain, although I -did- hear rumors that the airbase that the first 5 F-16s got plastered with some Khinzals yesterday. This from a Krainian source no less. Seems these were the Finnish F-16s and word is that they may not have survived the attack. According to the report I got, the Russians head faked a couple of Khinzal launches from the Mig-31s. Apparently only the Mig-31 can currently launch them, and every. single. time. a Mig-31 takes wing, the ISR Kids on the NATO AWACs alerts Kiev, and they go to high alert with what remaining ADA they have.

They started at like 10pm, and lofted quite a few sorties of Mig-31s… even fired off some decoys… by 0230, the Krainians figured Ivan was just fucking with them and stood down…

Bad move to get Complacent there Krainians…

That’s when Ivan launched the actual attack and blew the fuck out of a Patriot Battery, as well as the airbase that the F-16s were ‘roosting’. So much for THAT Wunderwaffen Aye?

Makes you really wonder as to the intelligence of these guys is? I mean right now, I’m less than impressed with the brains of the average Krainian never mind the dimwits in charge. I mean I won’t slur them on their bravery… I mean they’re ballsey AF to keep charging into the teeth of the machineguns/landmines/drones and what have you…

However, they’re either complete retards or functionally insane to keep doing the same thing, over, and over, and over, and over again and thinking shit is going to change.

Much like the people who keep voating here in the GAE/ZOG

Voating?
Meh.
The Republic is dead. Long Live the Regime of The Pretender to the Glorious and Harmonious P&PBUH (Plus 10%) Orifice of The (p)Resident, The Dementor-in-Chief, Emperor Poopypants the First, Chief Executive of the Kidsmeller Pursuivant, Good Ole Slo Xi-Den.

Soap Box? DEAD
Ballot Box? DEAD
Only thing left is the Cartridge Box, and NO ONE wants to open THAT particular shitshow as of yet. As stated before, we’re all a little too comfortable with our personal Bread and Circuses.… I know for damned sure I am. I’m also old, held together with Scar Tissue, Cheap Beer, Caffeine and Hate, but who isn’t at my age by this time?

Everyone wants to do and prep for “Patriot Shit”
Until it’s actually time to do “Patriot Shit”

God knows I’m personally guilty of this. Most of you all are too. I mean why would you? ‘Cos for fuck all sure, there’s no better choice/option than to sit back, and enjoy the fall at this point It’s patently clear that OrangeManBad isn’t going to ‘ride to the rescue’ despite the remaining “Q” Tards on Gab and in ‘other spaces’ (probably the insane asylums at this point IMO) OrangeManBad is -as old- as DeadManBiden at this point… sure his acuity is a wee might better, but the fucker never did what he needed to, won’t ever get the chance to do what needs to be done, and is beholden to the Jews who seem to have taken over all sense of sanity in the ZOG at this point via his son in law the worthless Jagoff Kushner.

And those who want to say I’m an anti-Semite? My sister in law is Jewish… what apparently makes an anti-Semite these days is noticing that the Jews have taken complete control of our government for their own purposes. I mean in the words of Poopypants, when HE comes out and states “I’m a Zionist through and through!!!” I’ll take his word on it. Truthfully, I used to laugh at the folks who called it “ZOG”… it sounded so unlikely and retarded…. And then the Commander in Chief openly admits to being controlled by the Zionists…

You can’t make this shit up.
Leastways I thought

These days?
Notsomucho.

Take of it and make of it what you will.

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes!
So, as we have been saying, things in the Krain ain’t looking too good. A lot of the talk has been all about the money, in that Krainfeld just left out of here and crawled back into whatever hole he hides in from his own people, and if I had to hazard a guess, a CIA hit team that’ll make it look like the Russians did the deed.

The only shekels he was able to worm away from the (p)Resident was the remaining 200 million that was -already- accounted for and was due to be handed over eventually. Word from some sources, to include Moon Of Alabama said that the real reason for the ‘summons’ of the Piano-Penis-Playing Pundit to D.C. was to give him some new marching orders, more than likely to cut the bullshit, try for some peace talks and let the Junta-in-Charge get the corpse better known as the Pretender to the Glorious and Harmonious P&PBUH (Plus 10%) Orifice of The (p)Resident, The Dementor-in-Chief, Emperor Poopypants the First, Chief Executive of the Kidsmeller Pursuivant, Good Ole Slo Xi-Den re-(s)elected.

Anything less is going to play piss poorly in Peroria, especially since now they’re starting to do “things” like deploying a 3 Star Retard namely Lt. Gen. Antonio A. Aguto. Now, looking up this guy, he’s apparently the first Filipino General Officer. His bio is thus:

“Antonio Alzona Aguto Jr. (born November 18, 1966) is a United States Army lieutenant general who served as the 40th commanding general of the First United States Army from July 8, 2021, to December 2, 2022. He previously served as the Commanding General of the 3rd Infantry Division and prior to that served as the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations, Plans, and Training of the United States Army Forces Command. In November 2022, Aguto was nominated to be the first commanding general of Security Assistance Group–Ukraine. (en) “

Which, to be honest doesn’t say shit about his background. No early life, no wife, no mention of kids… Wiki only had this to say about his early part of his career:

“Aguto is a 1988 graduate of the United States Military Academy with a Bachelor of Science degree in aerospace engineering. He served as the commanding officer of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment from 2010 to 2012 and the 7th Army Training Command from July 2016 to May 2018”

Again, that doesn’t tell us shit about him. No branch except to say his degree from West Point in 1988 is in Aerospace Engineering. Problem there… West Point only has a minor in Aeronautical Engineering

Odd that Aye?

Link HERE if you want to see for yourself.

Add on there is ZERO info that I can find about his background after Hudson High. Usually there’s a progression as we all know, 2nd LT and so on and so forth. What his first command was, platoon/company/battalion… the usual stuff… but in his case?

This guy seems to have come into the DotMil in 2012 as a General Occifer fully formed with ZERO mention of first command(s) or any other -normal- DotMil progression. Now, maybe back in 1988 they had a Aerospace Engineering degree, however…

I called my old LT and asked him as a former Graduate of West Point. He retired as an ‘up or out’ Light Bird in 2011 after 21+/-. He got his 20, and a few months +/- but he told me Aero has always been a minor, and usually the guys who had it were headed to the Engineers for their branch, as opposed to Infantry, Chemo and the like…

Aguto’s branch BEFORE he was ‘born’ as a fully formed General is noticeably absent that I can find. If any of you sleuths find anything more, put it in the comments. My personal guess?

Seeings that he commanded “Combat Units” like the 11th ACR and 3rd Infantry, there’s a BIG fucking difference in being an actual Combat Commander as opposed to the fucking Big Dick General who never set foot outside the wire. Any bets he’s a Artillery or Engineering Occifer made good and is being ‘sold’ to the Krainians as some whizz-bang Gen’rul? I mean he was the HMIC (Head Motherfucker In Charge) of 7th Army Training Command which means Hohenfels… MY old fucking unit.

This guy will be great at the planned wargames that they’re supposed to run to try and teach the Krainians how to fight the war, as that’s all 7th ATC is good for as running the OPFOR is the 7th’s primary mission.

That being said however, there are some folks who believe that the idea is that Aguto’s job is to actually learn what real war is all about, as ZERO of the current DotMil Command Structure have ANY experience fighting a peer-on-peer fight.

Everyone we’ve gone up against have been Goat Herding Mountain Men who, BTW have purely kicked our asses over the past twenty years. We’ve never gone against a peer enemy, and that includes Gulf One when the Iraqis who’d been bombed nonstop for weeks/months, starved, and generally demoralized much like the Krainians are being now, so much so that they were done before we even started.

As to any hope of ‘ramping up’ our production to maybe help the Krainians?

Nope.

Ain’t happening in this lifetime. As Oleksii Arestovich, the Anti-Krainfeld said the other day quite succinctly:

“The problem is not that they can’t give us money.
The problem is that they can’t give us shells.
A much-touted microchip factory in Phoenix, Arizona, has been pumped in $40 billion, like a transfer from Taiwan.
The plant is idle, there are no workers.
They tried to recruit Taiwanese, but they didn’t send either.
Under the existing system, the Americans cannot launch the military-industrial complex, neither with the Moroccans, nor with the Mexicans, nor with dancing, nor with tambourines.
The fundamental motivation of the market is financial speculation.
Arms offices show an increase in capitalization, but never show an increase in production (because there is practically none).
If production is growing at all, it is extremely slow so as not to break the capitalization schemes.
Their task is to increase the value of shares, not to make new equipment.
Tens of billions are being invested, but there is no growth in production.”

Yep. In fact to show how correct he is, the cost of producing a single 155mm HE Artillery Shell went from approximately $2000 a round to $7000 a round.

Sounds like a bit of War Profiteering Aye?
For damned sure it does.
Gotta pad that ‘bottom line’ for the Investors, never mind the board members like the SECDEF Lloyd “Gungrabber” Austin who serve(s/d) on the Board of Raytheon with $500k in current Stock Options and a yearly Salary of $2.7 million.

No shytte there Aye?
So, what’s you thoughts?

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes!
Looking like things down Venezuela Way are starting to get a bit heated. The Essequibo region which s a major piece of Guyana sits right next to Venezuela, and a LOT of oil has been found in the area off its coast. Essequibo mind you makes up about three-quarters of Guyana’s territory, so NOT an insignificant piece of land.

Piece Of Shit President For Life (until someone finally shoots his cab driving ass) Maduro-the-Moron:

claimed a National Referendum Vote tallied that 99.9999% of the population (including the unborn/in utero) backed military operations to seize this area away from the cunning and dastardly Guyanans (Guyanese?).

Now mind you, the border was delineated back in Paris back in 1899. The main reason for the sudden interest is the utterly massive offshore oil reserves found in 2015.

Now, Venezuela has always had a hankering for this piece of dirt, as in 1962, they said the 1899 agreement was no longer recognized. Thing of it is, the Area is jungle-jungle Like “Heart of Darkness” deep deep jungle. Pretty much untamed, and unsettled. It’s not zigzactly a place you’d want to do an actually military invasion of…

That and the Venezuelan DotMil is sort of a joke.

That being said however, the Guyanese DotMil?

4000+/- Active Duty, 3000 +/- Reservists. All trained by the Brits (or in the British model) with a real hodge-podge of WW2 equipment. Small arms for the Infantry is alllll over the place, with US M-16s along side Russian AK-47s… They have no real heavy armor except leftover WW2 Era 6 Wheel Recon Armor Car the Brazilian made EE-9 Cascavel which was a 1970’s update to the 1940s M-8 Greyhound, a US made true WW2 Recon Scout Car.

No real Aviation Assets, no real Naval Assets. The only Artillery they have are 6 Soviet made M-46 130mm towed cannons, and even then, there’s questions if they’d even work. The other ‘arty’ they have are also WW2 holdover mortars made by the Soviets as well, and some new-ish Brit made 81mm ones.

All in all, they’re pretty much defenseless IF Mad-Dog The Moron Maduro wants to get busy with them. His DotMil isn’t really designed at this point to be a DotMil, but more of a “Regime Guardian” for him, that and assisting in trafficking the Narcotics all over the world. They may be more of a ‘gang’ than a true DotMil, but they do have numbers.

The hoity-toity sounding “National Bolivarian Armed Forces of Venezuela”? They have 109,000 Active, 220,000 “Paramilitaries” (meaning thugs with guns) and about 8000 Reservists. Lots of quantity over quality if you will…

Now depending on IF the Guyanese ‘get smart’ and contract a Private Company, then they -might- stand a chance. Hire a bunch of Mercs. And let them off the leash properly. Hell, just whatever they do, they need to not do another “Operation Gideon”.

That was the shitshow mission to “free” Venezuela from Moron. Two former Green Berets (supposedly) and about 30-40 doodz who got hemmed the fuck up in 2020 in what was called “The Bay of Piglets” as it was such a joke. Ain’t no way Moron is getting ousted unless it’s by his own, which is possible in light of the fact that there’s some new opposition Hardliner who’s looking at taking over from him

He needs, due to an approval rating lower than our current (p)Resident Poopy (14%) he needs a war to stay incumbent. Just like how Poopy and his minders have been having stories planted about Putler possibly nuking the Krain ‘cos “he’s losing so badly.”

Tell you what, when they start that shit again, they’re telegraphing. ALL the stories for Boomer-consumption, meaning “…how the ‘stunning and brave Krainians are driving back the Orcs” and how “…the winter will allow them to refit and rebuild so as to sweep away the invader!!!”

My question who’re drinking the Kool Aid: Since when have you ever believed anything our Mass Enemedia or DotGov have told us? If you believe anything they tell you, well, I got nothing for your retarded ass.

Let me tell you
Ain’t happening, not in the most fever-pitched dreams of the retards out there. In fact, they’re out of PAC-3 Patriots right now, not that they were any good to begin with. And I got that infobit from my former Room-dawg (who also is a distant cousin) from Rakkasanland… when I got drafted into Armor when the 11 Hotel MOS, he got put into the ADA side of things as a Patriot Puke. He retired as a CW3 running the Patriot Batteries, and now makes BIG money going around the various countries except the Krain, assisting with countries like South Korea, Saudi and the like with updating software, and doing ‘contractor shit’ on the various Patriot Systems out there.

His connections said that A) The Krainians have no idea how to run a Patriot Battery, and B) That the Patriot isn’t designed to take out hypersonics like the Russians prefer to throw these days. In fact, he said the Russians pretty much annihilated all the Batteries they -did- have by way of launching slow-movers, that the Krainians were baited into shooting their entire load at, and then following on with a Khinzal or three to take out the launch platforms and phased array radar, as well as the Command and Control complex.

So, no more hi-speed ADA (Air Defense Artillery), and they have, even by British reports, like 12-18 aircraft left, of which 5 of them may or may not be being used to keep the dozen or so planes left flying due to a lack of parts.

And don’t even get me started on Armor.

The Russians captured another Bradley damned near fully intact the other day. Treads got blown off due to a FPV drone according to reports, and the Krainian Klown Krew bailed and left it operational, so the Russians being the assholes they are, captured it, and put it on TV for all to see. And the Leo Ones they fielded have been getting smoked like cheap cigars as well…

Which then brings me to another thing.

Almost ALL the vidya I’ve been seeing, be it from Krainian Go-Pros or Russian Go-Pros, the one thing I’ve noticed is the STACKS of Krainian KIAs as opposed to Russian. The Russian Go-Pro footage is usually after the battle, showing them moving into trenches with a plethora of Dead 404s in them. The Kraina Go-Pro footage on the other hand is of them, usually under IMMENSE indirect fire, and panicking under said fire, usually up until the footage cuts out, meaning the guy videoing it either got aced out, or the battery died. Either way?

Not looking good for the Krainians right now, despite some people crowing about 600+ days of combat and the Krainians ‘holding the line’. I say yeah, they’re holding.

For the moment

The Russians currently don’t want to keep moving nor try to advance. Why would they? Not when the morons in charge of the ‘meat assaults’ keep throwing untrained and ill-equipped cannon fodder into their guns and minefields? Easier for them to impale themselves Aye?

And the ill-equipped? Try this and see if you notice what I do…

Per the UKRAINIAN Telegram Channel, these are guys from a unit, the 119th Brigade that got abandoned AND LEFT BEHIND THE LINES… the gist of it is they’re telling their higher-higher “Fuck you, we quit, you fuckers suck!” What did you notice class?

Me?
Well, one, no plates in them carriers. Not a one.
Next, the two dudes with helmets? Those are first generation K-POTs… NOT the high speed low drag nugget covers we usually see.
Then, Not everyone has Mags or Mag pouches
And lastly, no cold weather gear. They look cold and absolutely miserable. To me? This tells me they’re literally at the bottom of the logistics barrel for supplies. I mean hell, they’re out of artillery shells for the most part, why would ‘other consumables’ like helmets and plates be getting used the fuck up as well?

If it were me? I’d quit too and tell my officers to fuck themselves as well.

This’s “Volkssturm” levels of ‘lack of equipment’

Which means it’s almost over.

Have to keep an eye on it, as well, it’s obvious Leviathan is hoping to keep the money and the War flowing, if only to continue to enrich the Military Industrial Complex. Problem is, it’ll work, until it don’t. The very fact that it was announced that a three-star from the US DotMil is enroute to ostensibly ‘take over’ operational planning and implementation of ALL Krainian DotMil endeavors from here on out???

That kinda-sorta takes us from “material support” to “actively participating” and I’ll be curious IF the Russians decide it’s time to actually dust a few Krainian Headquarters that in the past they’ve not gone after.

I know I sure as fuck would. I’d find out where said General and his staff was, and turn it and the entirety of the Area around it, civvies or not, into a vast smoking ash-filled crater if only to send the message that ‘we ain’t playing any more’. Fuck it… if the Israelis can do it in Gaza, why can’t the Russians?

Because of the inherent weakness of OUR DotMil and the brain dead Ivy League Fucktards in charge that’s being projected though, THAT’s where I get a might nervous. Too many other folks with NO brains, like Moron-Maduro, who suddenly feel empowered and that they can flex without repercussion. Same goes with that new asshole Argentinian, Milei-the-Microdick who, at first seemed like a pretty good choice, but within days revealed himself to be ‘in thrall’ to the Zionists, as well as stating that he’s going to take “The Malvinas” aka the Falklands back…

So yeah, things are getting hairier and squirrelly-er day on day. Best to keep your eyes open, and head on a swivel.
