    I think that the hypothetical Ukrainian strategy you suggested would be plausible except for the fact that the Ukrainians placed themselves in a “cauldron” situation.

    Kursk 1.0 was a salient too:

    The writing is on the wall:
    “The Aircraft Carrier Age Could End in Disaster for the U.S. Navy”

    Thus, Washington’s current war plans play right into China’s and Russia’s anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) strategies. If actual war erupts between the United States or any of its major rivals, these forces will do what they must to win the war—and that means going-for-broke and trying to sink US carriers before they can become a serious threat to their forces and interests.

    One way or another, thanks to the advent of hypersonic weapons and anti-ship missiles, such as China’s DF-21 series, American aircraft carriers will not be as effective against targets defended by these A2/AD systems.

    China, Russia, Iran, and probably North Korea all have developed such countermeasures to one degree or another. America is speeding toward a reckoning at sea the likes of which it hasn’t experienced since the Second World War.

    Nancy Grace reveals new evidence in Ellen Greenberg ‘suicide’ case that may have damaged Josh Shapiro VP chances https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13728925/Nancy-Grace-ellen-greenberg-kamala-harris-josh-shapiro-VP-new-evidence.html

    Nancy Grace has revealed a catalogue of evidence in the case of Pennsylvania teacher Ellen Greenberg whose death was controversially ruled a suicide after she suffered 20 stab wounds.

    The case was catapulted even further into the spotlight recently when Josh Shapiro emerged as a potential running mate for Kamala Harris.

    As the state’s Attorney General Shapiro had doubled down on the suicide ruling and blocked an attempt by Ellen’s family to have the case reinvestigated.

      “They were comfortable with Matthew Thomas Crooks being there”

    …………..me

    …about Matthew Thomas Crooks being around THEM at The Trump, Butler rally AND now at the rifle range. It seems. This comfort being around Matthew was dripping off them all.
    Family, co-religioners, lovers, best friends and fellow cultists drip of it, the stench, the smell, the odor, the fragrance of it. They liked him, a smart talented kid with an apparently high IQ. Half the country was down with Matt’s purported mission.
    Once again, however, what if THEY told Thomas Matthews his, their mission was to protect President Trump. After all, they’re telling us Thomas Matthew “practiced” with THEM.

    Dr D can’t see it and never will…..he doesn’t seem to possess a Gift of Discernment

    Um. Wow. That’s epic even for times as crazy as these. What’s Shapiro’s motive? Just sheer lols like it seems to be for Que Mala?

    Bluffing, to try to deceive someone as to one’s abilities or intentions.

    It takes time to line up all your ducks.
    USA is lining up its navel forces for a duck shoot.
    For many years, Iran has been developing, distributing, hiding, protecting its assets.

    The USA thinks that it is calling Iran’s bluff with impunity.

    Dr D Rich, you should check out Victor Hugo Art News over on Rumble. Naval Academy grad who spoke up about the rapes, perversion and traitors up high in the ranks. Lives across the world in the other Geogia now, cause they went after him , hard. Any White or Christian who does not understand what the fuckin jews who run this satanic shitshow has in store for them, needs a punch in the face, to wake the fuck up.

    @Dr. D: Look at the article. Somebody needed the murder to go away quickly, and Shapiro was not the only one who helped that happen.
    The 20 year old girl was “murdered” according to the Coroner, until he sat in a room with some cops and other helpers, so he could understand that she committed suicide, even though the last 3 stabs in the back of her head and neck were after her heart stopped pumping blood.

    My grandmother was 3 when Monet did that painting. Long time ago? Not at all; his era was within living memory, just, when gran was still alive. Through me you have access to a tiny bit of the late 1800s. I can easily understand how tribal, oral societies can have memories stretching back for millennia.

    On the subject of navies, recall this idiotic, ruinously expensive AUKUS nuclear submarine treaty. I learnt a couple of days ago that the US and UK can pull out of it at a year’s notice. Apparently not so for Australia. And the treaty is in force for FIFTY YEARS. Good grief, what on earth has my government dropped us into?

    It’s not rocket surgery to figure out that Ellen’s fiancé is the psychopathic killer who wanted that murder to go away, and he had the money and connections to do it easily (as a producer for NBC Sports Network and a continental icecap sized pile of money and influence all the way up to and including Blackrock!)

    Shapiro was just one more palm to grease (among many) but you can see how embarrassing it is for him to be caught up in the scandal, because EVERYONE KNEW that that the boyfriend did the crime and that it was good old fashioned pay-offs that made the crime go away. I think “lurid scandal” is the terminology used to describe cases like that, and the Ellen Greenberg murder is right up there with the biggest of them.

    Shapiro might still wind up in the political wood-chipper for his role in the cover up of a murder most foul.

    The insight lander
    The Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport (InSight) was a NASA Discovery Program mission that placed a single geophysical lander on Mars to study its deep interior. But InSight was more than a Mars mission. It addressed one of the most fundamental issues of planetary science: understanding the processes that shaped the rocky planets of the inner solar system (including Earth) more than four billion years ago. The mission ended in December 2022 after more than four years of collecting unique science on Mars.

    You know the Ukrainian war is coming closer to ending, when the elites are having trouble meeting their army’s payroll.
    The elites are grifting everything they can lay their greedy hands on, because it is their last chance to enrich themselves!
    Thus leaving no crumbs for the poor dying saps on the frontline.
    The elites like war because they can send all the people who might stop their graft, to a frontline far away from where the money is located.

    @celticbiker

    Thanks for the reference, VictorHugoArtNews on Rumble.

    I’m glad to hear The Host dismiss the ‘White Hat’ myth better known on this blog as Dr D’s hobby horse.
    My father too held faith his country kept, in his words, The Good Guys, The Heavy Hitting good guys in reserve. In sports many coaches and teams don’t put the starters or the best on the field at the start of a competition.
    The Real Deal.
    The White Hats aren’t coming.

    The Naval Academy got it almost right in soliciting applications from aspirants who possess a wide variety of skills, The Whole Man concept. Imagine the rude awakening when upon arrival Plebes discover immediately they possess very few skills and no attributes at the level of their best classmates. That realization works both ways as in how in the hell did 98% of midshipmen gain entry, Congressional appointments when the Plebe with the highest ever Whole Man score was seen by the Admissions Committee as an alternate, an afterthought.

    The accolades and opportunities arise not quite as often as threats to life, limb and career. Hiwever Imagine QB1, early admission to medical school, Rhodes scholar candidacy, Trident scholar and 4.0 in Chem all arrive at the same time on the same shoulders. And imagine that guy knows how to drive a ship better than the rest and knows how to fight where Mids are required, in P.E. judo, boxing, wrestling, hand to hand combat. Where the same guy is found to be the apt pupil of perhaps the best fighter Navy ever hired, Ed Peery 3-time NCAA wrestling champion at Pitt. The more skillful turn professors and military officials you never met against you. You’re shocked and dismayed grown men and women can be so easily manipulated by post-adolescents, overgrown children really. The latter is a life long talent, ruining reputations and the competition.

    I suppose the Academy’s mission was to create a process to sift through the talent in an effort to determine who can handle ‘Command- and an ‘Admiral’s office with grace, aplomb and responsibility
    In my estimation, the well-connected bastardized the process to favor ther idiot sons and inept daughters after they realized it’s too late to compete on merit. Their son and daughter spent too much time drunk
    Leave nothing to chance and spend your money on another fungible asset, An Appointment to the United States Naval Academy.

    West Point was turned a long, long time ago during the Wars against the American Indians and the Philippines Insurrection. How land and title along the western railways corrupted an entire service academy forever. That is a whole other story.

    Ed compared me favorably to John Reich…one of the most treasured compliments I ever received because there was nothing public about it. Just an honest, genuine observation from a man who knew.

    Some men can’t be moved off their spot deapite the conditioning no matter who gives the orders.

    They say leader but they mean follower, fellow traveler and suck-up.
    The insecurity of those chosen for power and unqualified for the position knows no bounds

    After all, “an officer is first and foremost, subordinate”.
