We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
đșđžđšđłđźđ± What will the surge of US forces to the Middle East cost the military?
The day the Middle East almost erupted into a full regional war this summer, Lloyd Austin was touring an Asian shipyard.
Just before the defense secretary visited Subic Bay, Philippines, the former site of a massive U.S. Navy base, Israel killed the political leader of Hamas, who was visiting Iran.
Austinâs July visit was meant to show his focus on Asia, the region America says is its top priority. Instead, he ended the trip distracted by the Middle East, spending hours containing the crisis on a flight back to Washington.
Since Oct. 7, when Hamasâ attack on Israel provoked all-out war in Gaza, the Pentagon has been on call. When the region has approached a wider war, the Defense Department surged forces there to calm it down. But after a year, some in Congress and the Pentagon are growing concerned about how to sustain that pace, and what it will cost the military in the long term.
Call it the U.S. Central Command squeeze. The Pentagon insists its surge has helped stop the Middle East from falling into chaos. But the longer the region borders on conflict, the more the U.S. tests its endurance for crises later on, most notably, a future conflict with China.
The pressure on the military increased even further this week. After their most intense attacks in almost 20 years, Israel and the Lebanese militia group Hezbollah are close to a larger war. On Monday, Austin yet again ordered more troops to the region, joining 40,000 other American personnel there, 6,000 more than normal. Another aircraft carrier may soon follow.
âWeâre caught in this kind of never-ending quagmire of having to divert resources, and weâre burning [out] on the back end,â a senior congressional aide said.
Their message was that Americaâs military wouldnât exhaust itself anytime soon, but that a year of unplanned deployments and spent missiles come with a cost. Even more, they said, the longer the crisis continues, the more the Pentagon will have to manage tradeoffs between the urgent needs of the Middle East and the rising challenges of the Indo-Pacific.
Pentagon leaders say they calculate the risk in pulling assets from one region to another, and that the choice to move forces away from Asia is a sign that they consider the region stable enough to do so.
âI have relayed messages that it is better to invest in deterrence where there is no overt conflict, rather than intervene in a conflict where there is one already,â the Philippines Secretary of National Defense Gilberto Teodoro said in an August interview. He wouldnât specify who in the U.S. those messages have reached.
That said, the cost of this posture is also becoming clearer.
The first, and perhaps the most important, part of that tally is the militaryâs ability to meet future needs, known as âreadinessâ in defense jargon. By sending more forces to the Middle East, the Pentagon is accepting what amounts to a mortgage: higher costs on its forces to avoid an even bigger bill.
Without specifying the impact of these extensions so far, multiple defense officials and congressional aides said the U.S. is already having to manage âtradeoffsâ between the needs of the Middle East today and other areas in the future.
This February, the Houthis shot a ballistic missile at the Navy destroyer Gravely in the Red Sea, one of many times the militia group targeted American ships in the waterway.
But this one came close. In fact, the ship used a short-range weapon â rather than the typical missile â to intercept the attack. The Houthis came within a nautical mile of success, according to Navy officials.
This is an example of the other two costs involved in the Pentagonâs response.
The Navy estimates that between Oct. 7 and mid-July, it fired $1.16 billion worth of munitions while on station in the Red Sea.
It's easy to mock this guy, laugh at him, say it's always Gingers etc.
However why are we not asking why, as a society, young men are making life choices like this?
Same as anyone who chooses to go against our natural order with how they live.
Something has gone badly wrong.
âOregon is using satellites to hunt small farms.â
Farmer Justin Rhodes says the state redefined âCAFOâ so even 3 cows and a milking stand count as a factory farm.
Cease-and-desist letters. $100K âupgrades.â Family farms shut down.

âThe fetal bovine serum is just disgusting, and itâs in almost every viral vaccine. They harvest it by inserting a needle into the beating heart of a baby cow to extract its blood. Where is PETA when you need them? The FDA even admits they use âcow partsâ because cows are large and have a lot to use.â

đș We Try to Interpret the Cover of the New âThe Economistâ, the Magazine of the Big Bosses! (Part 1)
On the evening of November 12, 2025, an epic event occurred in the world of media and conspiracy theories, which happens once every 365 days: The Economist magazine published yet another amazing cover, titled âThe World Ahead 2026,â hinting at what the world will be like next year.
As we can see, there is a lot of fiction painted on the picture there, and conspiracy theorists on YouTube will be trying to interpret it for several months. Of course, nothing will come of what is symbolized there, but by the time â The World Ahead 2027â comes out , everyone will have forgotten about it, and the conspiracy theorists will start trying to interpret it again.
However, some things in the picture are quite obvious and will definitely come true.
What are these things?
1) The cake with the number â250â which represents the inevitable 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of ...
EXCLUSIVE Report on the campaign against Drug Cartels.
Aquila has recently been speaking to a few officials involved in the fight against the drug cartels in the sphere of the southern command, and there seems to be a consensus among the military & political brass to carry out an extensive military op against senior drug cartel members
Primarily the military is suggesting kinetic strikes to cut off the head of multiple drug kingpins.
The US has already collected enough intelligence and is now preparing to present it to congress soon to garner congressional support for the general activation of the US military against these Drug establishments.
The US has now enough firepower in the Carribbean to carry out deep strikes against drug cartel members in various countries simultaneously.
The political brass is considering the threat from these Drug kingpins which are also designated FTO's as credible "direct threats" to the citizens of America which makes action against them important.

The phantom âcivil warâ will explain everything that happens next. Food shortages? âSupply chain disruptions due to unrest.â Rolling blackouts? âCyberattacks from domestic extremists.â Bank freezes and travel bans? âSecurity measures.â Every new control will come wrapped in the same message: this is for your protection. And after years of fear, most people will accept it without a fight. Theyâll even thank their rulers for keeping order.
This is the perfected PSYOP. Government doesnât need to act like a tyrantâit just needs to pose as your shield against your neighbor. COVID turned every cough into a potential crime; this next stage will turn every differing opinion into one. You wonât fear the Stateâyouâll fear other citizens. And when that happens, the population polices itself.
The objective isnât victory; itâs paralysis. Keep people scared, angry, and divided long enough, and theyâll beg for stability at any price. While theyâre busy fighting ...
