↖️ 🇺🇸 🇨🇳 US Army Massively Revs Up Pacific War Preparations - Could the US Army Save Taiwan?
What about the US Army and Land Power in the Pacific?
🔶️ From a strategic and tactical perspective, there are many ways the Army could support, enable and sustain a networked, multi-domain combat force in the Pacific. There is clearly the possibility of force reinforcement, as US Army Black Hawk helicopters and even land artillery weapons have operated from US Navy ships in joint exercises. This kind of weapons application could greatly improve land-attack options in coastal and island areas and also extend deployment reach for reconnaissance, anti-submarine warfare and troop transport in potential “island hopping” warfare scenarios.
Land Army in Pacific to rescue Taiwan
🔶️ “Going all the way back to World War II, tanks have been an important part of the Combined Arms force out here (the Pacific)..... a number of nations in the region have tanks, they have armored divisions. The Philippine Army is a good example……Australia just purchased M-1 tanks. And we trained with the Australian Army in Talisman Sabre with their newly arrived M-1s,” Flynn said.
🔶️ Land-armies of course operate as a deterrent in the Pacific, and although the US and its allies are unlikely to attack mainland China, there certainly are some potentially serious warfare scenarios wherein armored ground units might need to attack or occupy large land areas.
🔶️ A perhaps lesser recognized advantage of having more Army assets, platforms and weapons in the Pacific would likely pertain to “air defense,” something which is now almost entirely “joint” when it comes to the Army’s contribution. The Army’s Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS), for example, has demonstrated an ability to construct an otherwise disparate set of integrated radar and missile defense “nodes” across vast distances. Perhaps of greatest significance, IBCS can network Patriot missiles with Sentinel Radar and other land-based missile defense assets with a common software backbone designed to enable data transmission, networking and collaborative or multi-domain target tracking.
🔶️ Flynn explained that forward, multi-national and multi-domain forces refining concepts of operation with US Navy, Air Force and Space units in the Pacific form the essence of strategic deterrence. Flynn described this as creating “operational endurance for the joint force so we can deter war … because the aim out here is no war.”
Police in Winona Minnesota are stunned after every single one of their Flock cameras were suddenly removed in a single night.
According to the police department, all 8 of the town's cameras were cut down and hauled away.

US diesel crack surpasses $100 a barrel for the first time on supply disruptions
... and the supply of refined fuels is already nearly exhausted. A hard landing is visible ahead, for farmers, for trucking, and ... well, for everything that requires food (people) and energy (the entire economy).
These are very likely the final days of relative normalcy during which to prepare. Get ready.
🌾 🌍 🚜 JPMorgan warns a massive global food supply crisis could begin next year as fertilizer shortages tighten agricultural supply.
JPMorgan is the latest institutional research desk to warn that the next global food crisis may already be taking shape, driven by what its analysts describe as the "Five Ws": War, Weather, Warehousing, Water, and Waste.
In a new report titled Food Security Is National Security: A Compounding Storm, a team led by London-based senior global economist Nora Szentivanyi warned that disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz and the emergence of a potentially historic El Niño could weaken crop yields, constrain agricultural production, and keep food inflation elevated through the first half of 2027.
"Successive shocks since COVID have compounded, eroding food production capacity and keeping food price pressures elevated into 2027," Szentivanyi said, warning that "this is not a short-lived shock; it has reduced the likelihood of near-term disinflation, and the food ...
