📝 🇷🇺 ✈️ On the topic of relocating Westerners to Russia | CIG #commentary

🔷️ We believe that most folks in the west have either decided upon achieving total victory or die at their post.

🔷️ Politics are temporary, it is readily becoming more likely to expect European-descended Peoples to solve their problems. Especially for those who left Europe centuries ago to become conquerors, pirates, pioneers, mercenaries, explorers, adventurers, and so forth. Settling in new lands that many call home now. With no intention of returning to European countries. Not when there are endless spoils and opportunities in the world across the seas.

🔷️ There is a great abundance of usable land in North America, Africa, South America and even terraforming Australia should be a goal. Each of these continents holds historic European-descended populations. To pack up, leave and contribute to the over-crowding of increasingly densely populated European countries would just kill birthrates and strain resources among an increasingly energy demanding world.

🔷️ To quote the literary figure Oswald Spengler, "We are born into this time and must bravely follow the path to the destined end. There is no other way. Our duty is to hold on to the lost position, without hope, without rescue, like that Roman soldier whose bones were found in front of a door in Pompeii, who, during the eruption of Vesuvius, died at his post because they forgot to relieve him. That is greatness. That is what it means to be a thoroughbred. The honorable end is the one thing that can not be taken from a man."

📝 🇵🇱 🇷🇺 On the topic of Poland preparing for war with Russia | CIG #commentary

🔶️ They're seeking to purchase a $100 billion military for a comparatively minuscule amount of equipment that will take roughly a decade to arrive. While it would only take months of Russian production to match.

🔶️ Where will they receive the funding? Their economy is comparable to Russia, on paper. However, it lacks the tangible industrial base to produce the way Russia can.

🔶️ They sent their tank fleet to Ukraine expecting to replace them afterwards. And then failed to secure a loan to buy new ones from Korea.

🔶️ Poland lacks the means for long-term maintenance of a robust military, let alone training with it.

🇺🇸 🇷🇺 Death & Rebirth of the Cold War | CIG #commentary

In 1989, George Bush Sr. proposed a troop cap of 275,000 personnel stationed in Europe by the US and Soviet Union. Adopted in 1990 by NATO and the Warsaw Pact, the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) furthered a major military drawdown running parallel to the collapse of the Iron Curtain. Coming into effect after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, it seemed as if the need for a long & winding conventional land war was over. NATO no longer had a purpose or reason to exist. The organization of the US military evolved from Divisional & Corps structures to Brigades in far off guerilla wars in the desert.

The times have changed. Pre-2002 military structures are being resurrected and reshaped. The 90s-driven drawdown is over. Wars in the desert are embers policed by National Guard units and by mercenaries from other states. There is a land war in Europe and defense industries throughout the world are spinning up in anticipation of more wars in Europe and abroad. Pax America has ended with migrant auxiliaries holding the Limes (wide open). The "Cold" War has returned as a hot Great Power Competition in a strange, new and alien world for those living in it.

The greatest casualty of a multipolar world will be Isolationism | CIG #commentary

Many third-worldists envision an America that stays put in a box of the northwestern quadrant so that they don't lose their emerging golden gooses in mineral markets. This will simply not be the case. A post unipolar world means a land grab just to keep the lights on.

One could trace British imperialism to charcoal and coal being unable to maintain Britain's resource needs. France's sabre rattling over Ukraine is related to Uranium for their nuclear plants falling under Russian influence.

The modern world around us has strenuous energy & mineral needs that a post global world would struggle with to make ends meet. Imperialism in a nutshell pertains to securing trade routes between vassals for required resources to survive. We are essentially witnessing powers regress to the mean of history.

This is not unique to the US, Europe or even China. Nearly every regional power in the Global South covets the riches of their neighbors. Internationally recognized borders are mere suggestions beneath the boots of warlords. Mass migration to White countries is also impossible without secure Sea lanes of which there will be none.

If you want a relatively safer alternative, we must establish lunar supremacy. We must compete for deep sea mining. Because the northern hemisphere does not hold the required resources for modern civilization directly by land. But we can rebuild our industrial base in order to manufacture with these materials at home, this is what a post-semitic world will look like.

📖 🇵🇸 🇮🇱 Israeli discourse on the Oct 7th War compares Prime Minister Netanyahu to the Biblical King Saul of Israel.

📝 #Commentary: The criticism of Netanyahu laid out in here is at least vocal in Israel, if not the most common. To the surprise of some, it holds a modicum of truth as well. He did hesitate and play for time. Seeking to fight a political war, not a strategic one. The charges against King Saul are one and the same that Israelis pin against Bibi. Often that he should have destroyed Hamas years ago, blaming him for enabling their continued existence. Israelis wanted a quick and brutal war with zero restrictions. Asserting that this negligence is the downfall of his rule. Indeed, the intensity of the violence in Gaza were but half-measures to prolong his rule. For the sake of violence, instead of victory. We saw this with the clear & withdraw raids by the IDF, there was no definitive gain from carrying these out. Netanyahu stared at the portents of war and he blinked.

Monroe Doctrine & Polk Doctrine have returned in response to waning US hegemony across the globe. ZOG is seeking to insulate a continental Fortess America of sorts. The vast mineral wealth and usable land for farming is to make up for global sealanes becoming unreliable and the modern economy being immensely impacted as a result. #commentary

- During the recent Senate Armed Services Committee testimony, Commander Laura Richardson discussed how to put full pressure on China in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility.

- They want to standardize the region in NATO/US gear, training, coordination, US-educated military leadership, and interoperability. They have the US Army Corps of Engineers & US Navy Seabees out there working on tons of military infrastructure projects, NATO standardization logistics, construction projects, etc. It is directly similar to the 1930s US military prepping for war with Japan.

- SOUTHCOM's assessment is that the cartels are better armed than many militaries there, so they want to change this. Especially since these cartels are backed by Cuba, Venezuela & co, etc.

- SOUTHCOM wants to heavily invest in the region's economy to counter China's influence on local freshwater, fisheries, farms, oil, strategic minerals, space infrastructure locations, Antarctica infrastructure locations, etc.

- Oh, and disaster relief logistics, wildland firefighting, humanitarian relief projects, immense naval coordination, immense coastal patrol coordination.

🇺🇸 🇲🇽 📝 In all seriousness, an "Iron Dome" is the future of the US. Regardless of what your politics are, it would simply be a product of the time we live in. | CIG #commentary

🔶️ Current wars, terrorism and crime are showing off new weapon capabilities. It is only a matter of time until a hostile entity decides to make spectacle out of harassing the continental United States either with symbolic or saturation drone attacks. No worse case scenario with China/Russia necessary, it doesn't require state actors. And if it did escalate to that point, a missile shield wouldn't block massed hypersonic ICBMs entering from outer space, especially not an Iron-Dome like shield which is designed for "short-range" projectiles launched approximately 43 miles out. A US Iron Dome would be specifically for asymmetrical drone threats.

🔶️ The cartels in Mexico already commit mass murders and assassinations with drones. They've already used drones passively against the US border patrol for a decade. How long until they progress towards fixed wing FPV projectiles? In fact, moving hardware or at least blueprints for such designs would provoke unilateral US actions without warning. The precedent of this would be the 1914 US invasion of Mexico's Vera Cruz port awaiting alledged German arms shipments for possible use against the US during WWI.

🔶️ Rival powers opposed to the US have months, even years of experience with the US systems that would be used for interceptions. Simply by virtue of wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. The lesson they learned is that even if all drones are intercepted, they're still able to deny key chokepoints. Possibly sealanes in proximity to the US, perhaps the Panama Canal, the Gulf of Mexico route to the Mississippi, St. Lawrence River/Gulf with submerged drones, cargo ships with discreetly containerized launch systems? Again, they may seek a symbolic strike even in uninhabited areas to play into fears of the general public rather than successfully carrying out a mass atrocity against civilians.

🔶️ Aside from rival powers, keep in mind there's an entire Global South of militant factions with axes to grind against the US that may be supplied and guided by hostile powers. This is a very real emerging threat that should be taken into account in the coming years. The proof is in the combat medals awarded to sailors in the Red Sea. This is not strictly just for the US, all developed and developing nations may find themselves in a global arms race to protect themselves from new militantism.

🔶️ So, for a million-dollar, perhaps billion-dollar idea, it's not a bad one. The big R&D game right now is finding ways to counter drone swarms. The main concern should be, will it work? Nobody can say for sure.

🏹 🛡 📝 The possible low energy future we face puts an army of metal into question. Regardless of technological innovation, drone warfare still carries immense resource strains. | CIG #commentary

🔶️ There are material & energy bottlenecks to drones. AI control centers would put a massive strain that maybe only China could somewhat manage. The material for drones comes from Turkey and Africa. And then batteries are from all over the third world. Powering up said batteries and said drones is also key. Going to need to solve that as well. For those who claim we can replace the military with drones, we'd have to precede this with immense mining operations for the material itself. We would have to find energy solutions as well.

🔶️ Dedicated drone units are absolutely required. Every squad needs a drone for an optics triad for surveillance, thermal, night vision. But I think they are greatly misunderstood as a wonder weapon. They're great for close proximity to vehicles. But controllers will be hit by radiation seeking missiles. Control centers and AI centers can be strategically bombed. They're also not these great strategic force multipliers until you defer them the main role as guided munitions. Rather than quadcopters you'll see more jets and rockets. Artillery in the form of drones etc. Inherent weakness is that the signal can be cut because they're indirectly controlled. Speed is a factor, aside from racing drones in close proximity and such, most can be intercepted with WWII tier AA. Rain is still still a factor, fog/clouds etc, drones are also hot in the sky. Ground drones are especially vulnerable with connection concerns. Sea drones may lose connection after collisions at sea. Saturation fire to flatten grid coordinates after reconnaissance is also a must.

🔶️ Drones are essentially guided munitions and optics. They're not infantry for now, not the same as an armored brigade or even an air wing. The machine gun and the tank themselves supplemented rather than replaced everything. Counter measures constantly evolve and reshape warfare. Just look at how GWOT-styled warfare retroactively morphed into massed industrial wars. Artillery was seen as antiquated and now it has returned as the king of battle for now, inflicting the most casualties by far. IFVs/AFVs have grown in prominence as a required tool to move troops around the battlefield. Defense in depth and conventional infantry have also returned. Tanks have returned to the role of WWII as infantry support field guns rather than maneuver warfare duels. Although there is still a niche for an occasional maneuver battle with MBTs during breakthroughs.

🔶️ One may draw Ukraine as teaching the wrong conclusions, however many of these are replicated in concurrent wars and the planning for future wars. The general fundamentals remain the same, the context simply changes. GWOT-styled wars were an exceptional time. Warfare itself has regressed to mean, so to speak.

🇨🇳 🇦🇺 🇺🇸 The Chinese funded Melanesian Spearhead Group (green), in which the Chinese aim is securing a lease for a military base. New Caledonia (blue) sits between these islands, Australia and New Zealand

📝 China might be able to turn a profit if they choose to disregard living standards, but their goal is not an economic interest in taking this expensive, tiny, two-hour-drive island. A new infrastructure program would cost them more than paying directly for the nickel and fishing licences. The main interest is to have a strategic ally close to Australia and New Zealand and to contest a great martime crossroads linking them to the U.S.. That's why they are ready to pay for an island that would secure an additional U.N. vote for China. New Caledonia is the last Pacific island chain China needs to control to ensure their hegemonic monopoly over the island community of Melanesia. This strategic location offers a means to encircle Australia, gain access to Antarctica, and a fishing route to Latin America.

🌏 📝 If you know a country's geography, you can understand and predict its foreign policy — Napoleon Bonaparte.

🔶️ It is of no surprise that China has filled the footsteps of securing the old Imperial Japanese objectives. In WWII, Japan's Naval General Staff wanted to cut the sea links between Australia and the United States by capturing New Caledonia, Fiji, and Samoa. Meanwhile, the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission report from 2018 found that a Chinese military base in the South Pacific could prevent US military access to the region and affect key US allies New Zealand and Australia.

🔶️ Ultimately, Imperial Japan's Operation FS was postponed following the Japanese setback at the Battle of the Coral Sea, then cancelled after the Japanese defeat at the Battle of Midway, following the losses of four Japanese fleet carriers. The land forces originally dedicated for Operation FS, namely the 17th Army, were instead reassigned to a subsequently unsuccessful reattempt to take Port Moresby, part of the original goal for Operation MO, and to defend the Solomon Islands from Allied offensives.
