Palmer is right. I’d expect Philippines to be first. Easier target and then gives them a better staging setup to take Japan.
All pretty likely.
War
Corrid
Russia is slowly but steadily losing.
Strikedown
And this is why Russia is now losing.
Pushback
Concur. Russia is now losing. Not yet decisively, but a breakthrough could occur at any time. Not necessarily in Ukraine regaining territory immediately, but Russia attempting to offer some sort of peace deal.
Look Away
No one wants to see any of this. They wish to just pretend it’s not happening.
Eviction Notice
In a sane world, we would’ve evicted Russia from Ukraine long ago.
Auto Drone
I noticed that before it was every publicly released from watching combat footage videos. From what I can tell, Ukraine started using autonomous drones in some engagements at the the end of 2024 or so.
Tears Falling
Agreed. Russia is pretty clearly losing now, with no real way to turn that back around short of nuclear weapons.
And the Ian Welshians are shedding big fuckin’ tears about it.
Flamingo
What was that hit with, an FP-5? At 1500km from the front line, that’s about the only thing that could reach that the Ukrainians have in service.
Putin It Out There
Agreed. Russia is losing now. Not badly, but it is getting worse and Ukraine is undertaking more and more successful deep strikes on valuable Russian infrastructure far behind the front lines.
This will only go on so long until Putin is forced to…something. Uncertain what but probably won’t be great.
Serial Service
Why don’t serial killers just join the army?
Some do!
A guy I met at MEPS when I was joining the army told me the only reason he signed up was, “So I could kill people legally.”
Not really people the army actually wants, but not much I could do about it. Glad I never saw him again.
Less Stale
I already knew this. Russia is slowly losing now. Was a stalemate for a long while, but Ukraine is pushing them back meter by meter.
Strikeout
I’ve watched probably 5,000 drone strike videos. What does that make me?
Drones are not the only future of warfare, but they are a large part of its future.
Rolling Over
For the last few years of the Russia-Ukraine War, Ukraine was merely not losing.
Now, it seems to be actually winning. This puts the Baltics under greater threat, not less — Putin feeling cornered and trapped means he is likely to lash out elsewhere. And it’d take a lot less to roll over Latvia, say, than it would’ve Ukraine.
A very dangerous time now.
It’s Hammer Time
Hammer don’t hurt ’em.
Oops, too late.
