Shia militias in Iraq don't like the US government?  Who would have guessed.

There is a lot of administrative ground work that needs to be laid for the US/NATO to prepare to defend itself.

FIFY.

Having worked in NATO...NATO cannot and never will be able to defend NATO.

"attempted to board her"

That's gotta be slightly illegal, right?

Never thought I’d live to see the day where Americans would show support for Osama Bin Laden, but here we are.

When Trump is literally compared to Hitler by those who have held top government positions, anything is possible.

Bin Laden was pretty great but there’s this Austrian vegetarian artist that spoke up against Zionist oppression #standwithpalestine and stood for his people’s interests to spark a national socialist movement. I didn’t make it to the end of the tik tok to get his name because my Gen Z brain can’t focus on anything for more than 15 seconds, but this guy sounded pretty awesome. Cool moustache too.

The sudden surge of interest also led the Guardian, a British newspaper, to pull from its website a decades-old piece containing the full letter.

I found the Cliffs Notes version of Osama's heart warming letter to America.  

Here it is:

All while the SecDef is in the hospital with cancer and the CINC is senile and border line brain dead. Who is running the military?

A couple of Ivy League leftists with an agenda to ruin America.

We need someone to pull a Braveheart staff adjustment similar to the king that left his effeminate incompetent son in charge and the sons friends described himself as fully versed in warfare because he studied it. Then gets thrown out a window. That will never happen but it makes me smile just thinking about it.

When they call me back to AD for the big one (sts), I'm gonna demand they let me pick a squadron of aircraft from the boneyard (sts).  

I will demand it!

Edit: My wife just came to the man cave and told me to turn down the "Huey" Lewis as it was too loud.  At least I was playing it loud.  

A squadron of Huey gunships and Cobras.  Flown by retirees of all branches.  Skids are for kids!

5 years?  Methinks more like 2-3…

BO Generals and SESes… say you have 3 years to get ready for a coordinated series of aggressions in multiple theaters around the world.  
Some allies will respond and assist, some will be trying to grow their capes prior to the ballon going up, some will be neutral and allow passage thru territory but no landing or basing in their territory, a few will block access to their sovereign territory and try to placate aggressors… the majority of military, economic, informational, technological and industrial effort will be from the USA, say 80% to put a number value to it.
You get in the 3 pre-war years DoD budget increases year over year of 5% over inflation and the authority to reprogram, divest and acquire capes equalling about 15% of the budget.  Congress is getting out of the way to a degree.

The objective is to stop aggression and preserve the antebellum territorial borders, SLOCs and deter/prevent further expansion of aggression.  
What do you buy?  What do you grow?  What do you divest?  What kind of force can you shape or hone from its present state in 3 years?

"stop aggression" has become the new "save our democracy"

Understand your perspective but there is a storm brewing between eastern authoritarian systems vs the Liberal International Order. Despite its flaws and the disgusting hypocrisy greed and lying of half the people who lead it, it is preferable to an existence dominated by the other systems.

have you ever considered the liberal international order is its own version of authoritarian systems? it really hit me with how the system acted during covid. lockdowns, forced vax, openly lying about the vax effectiveness.

fauci himself praised the chinese level of dystopian lockdowns.
