Japan's unmanned amphibious vehicle

2026-11-11T10:43:06.566-06:00

Notice that the Japanese are going with tracks and not wheels. The same issue that the USMC faced in WW2. Fringing reef (I believe that's the terminology used) around many of the islands in the Pacific. It was determined that wheels wouldn't handle it. Perhaps the tech has changed but I wonder.

From the Colonel.

At the time of writing, what is known is this (this may change as the situation develops):

1. Six people have been killed and 15 wounded (including two police officers, one of whom is in critical condition).
2. The gunman was a 24-year-old Polish citizen of Polish nationality.
3. Initial evidence suggests that he was a lone wolf with extreme right-wing views.
4. The gunman was NOT a soldier.
5. It was initially indicated that he held a gun licence, but it is not clear whether it covered this particular gun. Given how restrictive Polish gun laws are, it is very unusual for someone to have an AR-type weapon. Not impossible, but this remains to be determined. One theory suggests that his father had this weapon registered as a collector's item.
6. The gunman was wounded and is in custody.

That's a big body count. Whoever is associated with this guy better be getting their shit together in a heartbeat. That's assuming it ain't too late already.

I said before and I'll say again.

The Poles are gonna be FERAL in their dealings with this.

Feral and Medieval in their punishment! Do I hear wings flapping? Winged hussars.

Somewhere you have a Navy planner punching walls, kicking his beloved dog and developing a serious drinking problem because the Marine Corps can't make up its mind!

2026-11-07T13:14:54.487-06:00

via TMZ (story here)

Navy and Marine Corps leaders have recently come to the agreement that the Corps needs 40 amphibious ships to meet its goal of keeping three Marine Expeditionary Units (MEU) deployed at the same time. However, at the moment, the Navy has only 31 of these vessels, a minimum mandated by Congress, and now an effort is underway to convince lawmakers to increase the fleet.
MEUs, made up of about 2,200 Marines, are typically embarked on Amphibious Ready Groups (ARGs), which usually consist of an assault ship, two transport docks or dock landing ships. Support vessels, surface combatants and in some cases a nuclear fast attack submarine can make up the larger Expeditionary Strike Group.

Gents if you want to know why the Marine Corps is FUCKED UP then look no further.

We had one Commandant (Berger) that said we only need 31 amphibs but we needed 18 Landing Ship Mediums. He looked the Congress in the eye and declared that with ten toes down. No doubt. No equivocation. Almost a religious belief.

The next Commandant (Smith) sung from the same hymnal. Ten toes down. "A righteous journey". No doubt. No equivocation. Taking the "almost" religious belief and dialed that shit up to ten.

This is what the Navy is dealing with (and I'm sorry to say that they do).

In the span of less than 8 years the USMC has gone from saying we only need 31 amphibs to now 40.

Think about what that does to the shipbuilding budget! They're having to plan for their carriers, subs, destroyers and frigates...not to mention their support ships of all classes.

While trying to get their shit together to deal with that (which is a mess all its own) they have the Marine Corps chirping in their ear about big amphibs AND Landing Ship Mediums for what I believe is a flawed concept!

Somewhere you have a Navy planner punching walls, kicking his beloved dog and developing a serious drinking problem!

The FMF is good to go. Its HQMC that is fucked beyond recognition and needs to get its shit together.

If I were to do it all over again, I'd still go Marines BUT the 101st wouldn't be a bad choice either. I've been watching the Army hard lately and of all their outfits the 101st seems to be the most innovative and MY GOD do they give their soldiers every opportunity to go to high speed courses (well fuck man, they have most of them on their base in Ft Campbell). They're testing drones, about to get the new tiltrotor (will be the first in the Army) and like I said earlier...they send their soldiers to high speed courses. Don't know if its propaganda or real but if its real then the 101st is hot shit.

President Trump and the Republican party suffered a tremendous setback yesterday.

It all boils down to one thing.

The war against Iran.

If he had done what he said. GO IN, BOMB IRAN TO DESTROY THE NUKES AND GET OUT THEN HE WOULD HAVE BEEN CHEERED ON!

But he didn't do that. He didn't follow his instincts and followed flawed advice. Netanyahu got the US to do what he has done. Begin a war with no clear end game.

Don't blame the SecDef. Don't blame his excellent Vice President Vance. Trump needs to look in the mirror and blame himself.

He has two years to get his act together. This is a loss he has to accept and needs to dust himself off and get the rest of his term on solid footing.

This needs confirmation. Israel is claiming that Iran is planning on using chemical weapons in a wider war...

2026-11-03T18:32:42.256-06:00

BIG | 🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱‼️‼️ IRAN WARNS THE UNITED STATES OF A NEW BATTLEFIELD AS ISRAEL RAISES ALARMS OVER POSSIBLE CHEMICAL WEAPONS! Tehran is threatening further escalation while American officials remain divided over intelligence supplied by Israel. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf declared that Tehran had delivered a firm response to Washington and that the next move was now up to the Americans. He warned that another strategic mistake by the United States would open a new battlefield and make finding a way out even more difficult. Meanwhile, The New York Times reports that Israel has shared intelligence suggesting Iran is considering the possible use of chemical weapons if hostilities resume. Some US officials reportedly regard the allegations as deeply concerning, while others have raised serious doubts about their credibility. The combination of Iranian military threats and disputed intelligence increases the complexity of Washington’s next decision. A renewed confrontation could expand beyond existing areas of conflict, while acting on unverified chemical weapons allegations carries its own serious risks. The credibility of the intelligence and the intentions behind Tehran’s warnings remain critical uncertainties. See the latest updates with us: @visionergeo

I don't know if I trust Israeli intel on this one. Iran launches a chemical attack on ANY middle eastern country and they're unleashing the nuclear genie. They launch a chemical attack on Israel and they're gonna be glassed. One thing we do know. Netanyahu wants a wider war. I don't think there is much he wouldn't do to drag us deeper into the current quagmire. Anyone have the current count of how many times Trump has said the war will be over quickly?
