They’ve done well to maximize their wealth and benefits while eliminating their accountability. The disasters of Ukraine, the Afghanistan pull out, Syria, the Houthis, the embarrassment in the Sahel - no one has been fired, demoted, apologized, taken responsibility, nothing.

Good discussion, Coming from the viewpoint of a retired paratrooper, I'd say - "whoa nellie". While we need "system level" integration, we also need paratroopers, marines, soldiers, etc to master analog warfare. Any common tech system just means new common vulnerabilities for all branches and all platforms. Survival skills. Hand fighting. Small unit tactics. Only anlaog radio systems. Improvised devices / traps. Use and repair of civilian vehicles. weaponry, etc. etc. These are what warfighters need. "Tablet" warfighting ain't gonna cut it. China already has robot AI dogs equipped with small arms. There's a technological way to defeat them, but you'd probably need to be close with a good RF signal. Similarly, the more we go down the path of relying on technology only, the more vulnerable we become.

Thank You, sirs. Remarks (imho, with all the respect): 1. The more one hides the tactical component, the harder it becomes to reassure neutral sides and civilians in your intentions, which can severely influence one's further operative capabilities. Thus perfectly unexpected attacks may apper as unwanted, as the totally expected one. 2. Indeed, the space race makes economies alive and thriving. However, there's no viable alternative to strategic diplomatic solutions assuring the Solar System's future, since nobody can deny external force risks and natural catastrophic tendencies. 3. To rephrase the old soldier's proverb: wars are something, and maneuvers are everything. 4. Platform and system level integration chains bring to end-users (commanders, in particular), along with the advantages mentioned, both the flexibility challenge, neural overload and rapid burnout dangers. 5. AI is not a panacea. It is a form of life. And for us, it's just the way to advance our potential, and transform the existential philosophy, including its military part. 6. Sure, everyone and everything is observable at some level and to some degree. The one denying this common sense may be instantly doomed. But then, the real struggle comes from the depth of soldiers' hearts and minds. How to camouflage the inner content of souls, and would that be worth the deal? Or should it bring another case of the Pyrrhic gains? Thank you for your attention.

Thanks for the time lying out those insights in the open c= they're very reassuring to say the least. Really happy to see people at the top level are pretty cognizant of the changing landscapes on tactical and strategic level, but also on other societal and socio-economic spectrums not commonly seen as being relevant to strategic readiness and even deterrence That bit near the end where one or more of the speakers talked about basically letting go of archaic understanding as well as practices in how services see and judge individuals, and their qualifications, and what matters to possible recruits as well as how to speak to them, was also very refreshing and again shows how people at the top are acutely aware of these matters, and not see them as irrelevant And subjects raised about employment of forces as well as how we see, and should see them in a strategic and tactical context in modern combat environments as well as the necessity to understand, plan and employ them as joint assets or forces in such environments are definitely insightful too and reflective on the professionalism as well as the seriousness of people who are in charge of these things, which personally kinda makes me wish popular media do better, more accurate portrayals of these people and their roles

[@davisluong2060]

The biggest issue is that research, development, and procurement has bloated significantly as a part of the military budget that it is affecting the operational side in terms of budget for training, personnel, unit organization and strength. In addition, retention and recruiting is a issue when you cannot man units at close to full strength and have to shut down some units. We have seen the brigade combat terms lose their engineer and cavalry scouts. We need more brigade combat teams and we need some of them stationed forward especially in Europe permanently. It was a mistake to remove them from Europe. It also has placed great strain on our ABCT with this op temp.

European here. This is what I believe is about to happen over a relatively short period of time in Europe. The Elephant in the room, as it were. 1. Russia is currently mobilising for an upcoming offensive towards Kharkiv, Ukraine's second city. 2. If this is seen to be going the way of being sucessful, it will catch all those who have been sitting on their hands, off guard. We will then see two profound knee-jerk reactions. Firstly, Ukrainian forces will launch a strike deep into Russian territory against targets that will be practically existential to the Russians. This will be done to both shock Putin and wake up the NATO forces. To Ukraine, Kharkiv must never fall, regardless of cost. 2. The Baltic States, led by Poland and the French Armed Forces will begin attacking Russian lines all across the over 1000km length. 3. The UK, already weak, and led by a very weak Prime Minister, with a poorly maintained tank force already stationed in Germany for wargames, will find themselves lost for leadership, with their generals wanting to join the fight, and the PM wanting to sit back and appease either the US or certain sections of the British population. 4. This will be make or break. NATO forces must, at this stage, quickly and completely destroy all Russian forces across Ukraine in matter of days, using conventional weapons. 6. Putin will, at some stage during this major change, detonate a nuclear wespon as a warning to the west in a demonstration of intent. But, if Nato has been sucessful in decimating the Russians, it will be much too late for Russia. I may be wrong, but I dont think that the US realises how determined Russia is, and how precarious the situation is in Ukraine. I certainly wouldn't want to be living near Kaliningrad. You may even see Russians firing on Kaliningrad, for reasons that I never see mentioned, but are extremely real.

They've (heads of the services) been using that language for a few years now/the last decade. I think there's a certain continuum that global competition follows. The ebb and flow of that continuum has become predictable enough that the three or four people (generous estimate) in the Pentagon who get paid to have a brain can look at the geopolitical climate and the state of everything else as well, and decide to put money into preparations. From my limited perspective, that's what I've skimmed from open source information over the years.

Only people like yourself are truly toxic, "woke" people are never violent, they live their life according to their own believes, if you don't wanna listen just ignore and let us alone, just like we let you live in peace.

The US began covert political ops in UKR in 2008. Follow this: Yesterday UKR consular offices suspended services to all expats of military age. This is done to pressure these men to return to the homeland and fill “ losses to the military incurred BEFORE and since the Russian invasion…” (emphasis mine). “BEFORE”.? “BEFORE”? This references losses incurred when the UKR government shelled and assaulted villages and civilians in the Donetsk. Just for fun: does any of that $60Billion include monies for democratic elections that Zelenskyj has cancelled???

@khersonskiyarbuzkhersonski2460 I'm not sure I understand. I am interested in understanding what you are trying to articulate. Give me some more details please. So keep the war going is the plan. Drain American resources and pressure the world until it breaks? Sounds like a great idea to entrench war and create a never-ending blood feud between Russians. They keep fighting, and we keep losing the things we worked for? The wealthiest Americans keep getting richer and more powerful while the middle class is suffering. The real talent in America is forced to serve the people who have not invested in themselves and the minorities? How the hell does that make any sense? It's like putting the horse behind the cart! This is a terrible idea! It just keeps getting worse.

35 minutes in & the Marine Corps has added super important nuance to the Army’s points that the Army is just missing. 1. Was about Observation & reducing signature across the EMS (so important that the Army KEEPS MISSING from a Force Protection perspective) 2. Common information environment for data sources to talk to eachother as a requirement to prevent the need to “brute-force marry up” incompatible data systems in the face of an enemy. Also so important! Former Marine gone Army here - Marine Corps was way more streamlined. Army systems are so bureaucratic! Has to change!

[@flashgordon6670]

The futility and insanity of war. HAVE WE LEARNED NOTHING? You gotta respect the Ruskies in their own front garden. At least Dr.Trump knows that much. No good being a sore loser, bc of Syria, by opening a front in Russia’s garden. That just says that you want to invade, or threaten to invade Russia. If you’re going to fight Russia, you should at least pick somewhere that’s more favourable for yourself. Saying, “But that just shows how powerful the USA is”, is complete nonsense. It just shows how powerfully in debt you are and getting more so. Russia isn’t Iraq or Afghanistan, it’s RUSSIA. They have ancient culture, are very intelligent and very very powerful in their own garden. They defeated Napoleon and Hitler’s land armies. They threatened the Japanese navy, sailing around the whole world to do so. Ok they lost that fight. But to even attempt it, shows their courage, determination and ingenuity. They put the first human in space and the first orbiting satellite. THIS IS RUSSIA! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? You’re jeopardising NATO and frittering lives away, for literally no benefit whatsoever, other than to get one up on Russia, bc of Syria. That’s not smart, it’s incredibly stupid and cold blooded, towards the innocent lives destroyed. I used to be against Ritter, Macgregor and co. But the more I think about it, after time going by. The more I’m coming to my senses and realising, they’ve got a dam good point. It might take longer than they say and they might not make their case, as well as could be, but their underlying message is the right one. War is pointless, futile, unnecessary and insane. It’s a fight that we don’t need to have, so why are we doing it? If a fight is on the cards, there’s much better ways, to go about it than this. Or try other methods, of containing any threats and challenges that are posed to the west. Russia and it’s allies leaders might even be acting like their worried, but really their laughing. Russia hasn’t sent its best military into Ukraine, this is its B team, or C team even. They wouldn’t be that foolish, in case a major war broke out directly with another major player. So this is all basically a great charade and a way of saving face, for Russia’s victory over the USA in Syria. I hope I’ve sufficiently laboured the point? Vote Trump = vote peace.

"If you want peace, prepare for war" -Vegetius This is a concept likely much older than even the sourced Roman quote and to try to besmirch the US for following this principle only shows you as a true enemy, wishing only to turn the established order upside down. Instead of hiding behind foolish statements, come out and say what you really mean coward.

[@alexashworth3119]

@@zombieninjapitbull3856 You might think you're talking to that guy and maybe you are, but really you're words would be relevant for many people in the world today. They speak about peace but all they actually want is murder. They say one thing and do another. You're correct, they are cowards. Cowards live on lies through lies and by lies. Good people are honest. Brave people speak the truth. In the end the truth always prevails, and anyone who truly follows after the truth shares the victory with it. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. If the world wants peace, they'll have to fight for it. If the world wants freedom they'll pay for it in blood just like America did. If you want everything the cost is everything. The cost of peace is blood and every war requires the sacrifice of life. Anyone who wants to make a treaty for peace will first have to give up peace. Promises have always been payed for in blood and great things always come out of things we don't see as great. A nation was born out of rebellion and changed the world. *🇺🇸* A horrible war fought against all odds resulted in the peace we enjoy today. This has happened multiple times. Each time the US experienced growth through the discipline. Good things came in spite of the bad. So if the world wants peace they'll first experience the very opposite. Everyone these days wants the intimacy of marriage without the pain of childbirth or the sleepless nights that follow afterward. If our ancestors suffered to get us here we will suffer too. In the very end it will be like a dream and it will end. But first the dream right? Our lives are no different. We live our lives and wake up and die. Still worth it in my opinion. Can't have safety without security. Can't have peace without a fight. If we want the heaven we will go through the hell getting there. If we want to hang with God we'll have to fight Satan first. What would be cooler than this? God planned it all out all ready. Well see it whether we want to or not. Bad things don't ask for permission to be here and neither does the good.

As far as cost effective weapons to counter dronex missiles, i would like to prolose we layer our air defenses with cheaper even propeller aircraft layer. These are order of magnitude cheaper, scalable and very effective against slower drones. These can be manned but evolving into ai. Drone tech is in its infancy, with all the old ecm countermeasures we employed on planes are going to be miniaturzed and mass produced. Drone/missile/torpedo based sub carriers for air and undersea can be very effective as they can hide and are more immune to long range missile attacks,
