Iran has now apparently shut down the internet.

Looks more like a leaving the harbor staying above the minefield sort of pic.

When you start your argument with just hollow assumptions, the rest is just garbage flowing from a sewer. Yes just America on that :rolleyes: Yes America failed there — so did the UK, and well Russia… Canada ate its eggs long before thinking about a basket.

Posse Comitatus Act is strictly a domestic restriction. FBI, ATF etc are commonly used with SOTF personnel when the target is a LE Interest - but the potential threat level or other NLI require SMU forces.

You tell me, and we will both know... During OIF ATF proceeded on a number of domestic firearms laws that occurred in Iraq... The main aspect of those however was a US firearm - and a US Person (Citizen or Legal Resident Alien) - which Maduro may meet #1 depending on firearm(s) in question...

Decent review. Not 100% correct - but close. The original gun was DI, which Colt got uppity about given the fact the patent was sold to them. So Stoner converted the gun to a piston. It’s interesting as the two guns that are used are at C Reed Knight Jr’s Institute of Military...

FIFY

Previously the Aussie system really wasn't setup for that. If you think the NCR here in MdDcVa is a mess (and it totally is) - the situation there is even more unique. From the AFP to the various layers of the NSWP districts - there really was nothing for the beach. A LEO with (optional)...

And how’d WWI work out for old Nicholas…

The difference is Russia can't do jack or shit for Venezuela. America could very easily give Ukraine enough to cripple Russia

Oh 110% - the Russians won't settle for anything other than fully absorbing Ukraine into the USSR 2.0, and that won't be enough either. Vlad wants to put the band back together, and anyone who disagrees is either oxygen deprived, or on a Russian payroll.

I don't even know what to say here.

Sad disappointed noises. I hope the CA does a decent job finding a LPVO and MRDS, as well looks at all the reasons why 12 O'clock MRDS where stopped using around 2001/2 time frame. I'm happy to give a free dissertation on the subject. ;)

One large difference is that a lot of bases down here are ecosystems unto themselves. You can (and need) to do a lot of things differently with a base that houses a larger force than the entire Canadian Army. The Joint Bases were an attempt at making the scale even more economical (and the...

Or make a UGV Ontos like system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M50_Ontos

And we the US sent troops, training and money to help fight them at the request of host nations. How well did that go in Afghanistan? If someone can make more money trampling coca leaves in a gasoline bath, than farming legitimately where they can’t feed their families, what do you think...

The issue isn’t the why. I don’t think many here would have objections to lethal actions taken against cartels. The issue is the who, where, and how IMHO. WHO: a few folks in boats that are allegedly running drugs. WHERE: International waters. HOW: UAS Lethal Strikes As I...

No disagreement there. I pointed out some of the differences before. But Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, and Libya where known conflict zones. Then use our resources and kill off a slew of the top leadership. Playing whack-a-mole with the bottom of the food chain is gratifying in the...

They lock down gun platforms in test to force the worst possible recoil energy transfers to the platform.

And French and Germans and… I’m also curious where the yellowcake came from. It went to Canada to be destroyed - but I missed China on the blame list for the origin. Well we also decide to let a lot of those weapons go to Syria, that turned out so well right? I mean if we caught some...
