We no longer need to be in Afghanistan...and if we had not screwed over the Kurds so much, would not need to be in Iraq or Syria any longer either!

As for Moldova, Moldova sucks...let Euro's play with that...,y same attitude re: Ukraine...fricken Euro problem...leave us the eff out!

If CIA idiots get caught in the crossfire...

Transdniestria

IMO different ethnic groups live on a patch of dirt. sometimes they move around over time.
Then govts come and go and draw lines on a map around them.
Sometimes outside forces like the US decide it would be cool to cause trouble by pitting one ethnic group against another. If it leaves the region a smoking cinder who cares?

US marines trained Georgian troops who then attacked Russians in South Ossetia. Russians counter attacked and left Georgia worse off then before but the president got a good think tank job in US DC.

Bald and Bankrupt has a playlist for Moldova. Another corrupt sh*t hole that was better off under USSR.

I recently learned that there were some good aspects to USSR. They had this propaganda or ideology about the brotherhood of man. It was not acceptable to publicly trash ethnic groups. Yes I know all the bad stuff. I always did. To this day, if you desecrate a Koran in public you go to prison.  I saw this in social media. Russians call Ukr brother slavs. Ukr call the Russians subhumans and a different race. IMO they each inherited the commie ideology and the NAZI ideology, respectively.

So USSR kept a lid on things and kept ethnic groups from killing each other. Dagestan has 13 different official ethnic groups and 13 official languages. Which 12 groups are the squatters?

Soviet Tajikistan and the Tajik Civil War

I recall a different doc that said that the soviets build giant hydroelectric dams and some factorizes that were destroyed in the civil war.  Many Russian tech types fled post USSR.

The Kenyan's puppet looks weak as Hell...

The Kenyan cannot sanction an attack on the scumbag terrorists, it may trigger his pals in the Mahdi Death Cult...cannot have them upset...

Which is why they are trying this coalition BS instead of stomping them out...

So laughably weak and pathetic...

I would eradicate them all...

So do something about this Yemen mess. If US carriers are afraid to get too close to land then ?????

I saw a US govt announcement. Just as I feared. The recent Yemen Houthi attacks were said to be from Iran as they used Iranian missiles. When Israel or Ukr use American weapons the US says we are not at war. Now maybe the US govt wants to get into a war with Iran. 

What if a US carrier goes to the bottom of the Persian Gulf?

BCE muses about this...

https://bigcountryexpat.com/index.php/2023/12/20/expenditures-logistics-and-lack-of-reloads-or-running-out-of-ammo-is-a-bad-thing/

Low ammo means cut and run...or stay and if suffer a fatal hit...see escalation to more serious ordnance take effect.

This is what happens when you are not strategic with your assets....should have eliminated the source at the get-go...

Didn't do that...and here we are...

Also, poster to BCE makes a good point here -

@WRSA @BigCountryExpat you may recall that I am a retired navy chief. I used to load those cells. Here's the deal, there may be 360 available cells between 4 DDGs but that isn't the end of the story. They are not all SM2s. They also hold the tomahawks which take up more room than an SM2 and ASROCs, rocket propelled torpedos. By now they should be carrying SM6s as well which serve a different purpose. That said, they'll go Winchester faster than you think.
No tender can reload the VLS because the crane height needed to get those bubbas in is too prohibitive. They have to be pierside. I doubt they've figured a method to load at sea since I hung up my combo cover.

I reckon they would have to run to one of a few naval bases in the region, most likely Jebel Ali, UAE to reload.  Assuming they've been restocked from stateside.

ETA - Vinson has been working it's way West...if it moves past Malaysia it may be headed for Gulf...

Yeah I wondered about that "coalition" thing. Isn't the USN enough?

Long ago I posted my fears of US ships being overwhelmed and using up anti missile ammo. I recall Douglas Macgregor talking down the NATO abilities that varied by country. NATO  They had enough air to air missiles to last one week of a war. He said many militaries "could not make it out of the barracks."  I think that phrase is  a term of art.

He said that NATO had skimped on buying fuel to save money and there was not enough fuel stock piled to support  war in EU. Ursula von der Leyen was defense minister of Germany and ran that army into the ground I heard.

USN should be enough...but puppetmaster (The Kenyan) is fearful of incurring Mahdi Death Cult wrath...hence hiding behind a coalition skirt...
