We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
⚡️🇺🇸🇵🇸 Deployments of the United States Military, over the past 5 days.
(I would like to note this is not information I gathered myself, but that associates and friends of mine provided)
USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group Eastern Mediterran region, consists of 8 Arleigh Burke-class Destroyers, 2 Ticonderoga-class Cruisers
USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group (Scheduled to arrive in Naples, Italy, soon; 8 Arleigh Burke-class Destroyers, 2 Ticonderoga-class Cruisers, already has left the Port of Norfolk.
6 Squadrons of F/A-18E (Single Seater) Super Hornets (144 Aircrafts total)
2 Squadrons of F/A-18F (Double Seater) Super Hornets (48 Aircrafts total)
16 B-1B Lancers to an RAF Airbase in the U.K
32 A-10A/B Warthogs to a US Airbase in the UAE (which the UAE officially denied)
Reallocation of 101st Airborne assets from the US and Europe, up to 10,000 personnel split between Syria and Jordan
High probability of U.S SOCOM Operatives on the ground in Israel already (reported by the media, if they are not in the ground, most likely attached to Naval assets)
His comment :
"This is what I've gathered thus far based off Open Sourced info and the carrier groups. Each one's carrying 4 Super Hornet squadrons (3 E-variant or single seater Super Hornets & 1 F-variant or double seater Super Hornet squadron per carrier). Assuming 24 aircrafts per squadron, that puts each carrier at 96 Super Hornets or 192 in total"
Assuming a good chunk of the inventory remains, these two carrier strike grounds have more missiles that what the entire Black Sea fleet launched during the course of last year in Ukraine.
Each Arleigh Burke DDG fields:
• 96-cells for Missiles (Flight IIAs)
• 90-cells for Missiles (Flight Is)
• 8-cells Dedicated Anti-Ship (AShM) Launchers (Flight Is)
Between the 2 USN Carrier Groups there are:
• 4 Ticonderoga-class CGs (122-cell VLS)
• 8 Arleigh Burke-class Flight I Destroyers (90-cell VLS + 8 AShMs)
• 8 Arleigh Burke-class Flight IIA Destroyers (96-cell VLS)
His comment, yet again :
Excluding the aircrafts' and their capability to launch ordinance, the 4 CGs & 16 DDGs have a combined capability of 1,976 Vertical Launch System cells (+96 Harpoon AShMs on 10 of the vessels) for missiles.
Realistically, a portion of these are devoted to Enhanced Sea-Sparrow Missiles (ESSM) for air defense along with the Standard Missile (SM) series that are multi-use missiles, realistically if we see these as a land-attack, we can see an easily 50% of these cells devoted to things such as the naval Tomahawk Cruise Missile which have a range of at minimum, 900nmi based on the Block-VB variation. In the event of all out war, the 2 American carrier groups will be able to quite literally reach as far as into Saudi Arabia and a little over a third into Syria from the Eastern Mediterranean as well as denying just about anything Egypt would try to throw over the air.

Yanis Varoufakis (former Greek Minister of Finance) describes AI as a new form of capital that produces not goods, but behavioral modification. This is achieved by engineering perceptions.
The answers provided by ChatGPT, or the images rendered by StableDiffusion — as these increasingly inform our perceptions, they in turn define the reality we experience.
This is what makes AI so powerful — he who controls the AI, defines the reality of tomorrow.
⚡️🇺🇸 Some more things coming out for the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Under the preliminary drafts of the bill, the USAF is requesting a release of $57,000,000 USD ($57.0 Million) to retire all remaining 162 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs in current service. Apart of the 2023 NDAA, there was a clause for a few million dollars to be released every so often to gradually retire the (then) 250 airframes by 2034; however due to the push by the Dept of Defense to ‘shed’ obsolete or obsolescent airframes that cannot be overhauled or upgraded further without a whole new airframe, it appears the USAF wants to retire all 162 remaining A-10s by the end of 2026.
The USAF plans to fully divest the 340-total remaining A-10s entirely, including those that currently serve in a handful of Air National Guard units in some states; which will be replaced by F-15EX Eagle IIs (like what is already happening with the Michigan State Air National Guard’s A-10s), or F-35A/Bs.

My older sister lives in the country in between Velma Oklahoma and Duncan Oklahoma near the Fuqua Lake area, this story was told by a rural mail delivery woman who delivers the mail in the country.
The incident happened while she was on her route, when she came upon to the mailbox a male Chinese nation came out brandishing a, AK-47 rifle being very hostile,
I don't know if he pointed it at her since it is against the law to do so but she was terrified and said she was never going back and that the location that had a guard tower. Was the sheriff department notified, I don't know, did she notify her supervisor, don't know. But word is from the country folk who live in the area they have seen the guard tower at the pot place;
I refuse to call it a farm because it is an insult to farmers.
And yes she was traumatized by that ordeal
