I think the USA from miltiary / strategical standpoint seriously f*d
The houtis sink Israely ships on daily basis, in practice the Red sea closed.

Means the USA can't deploy forces to the area.

My pet theory, considering the extreemly low level of patriot and similar missiles, is next:
- Russian shahed production climbed to 500/day recently. they moped up the bext part of USA SAM/AA missile stock, appart from the minimum required strategical stock level.

-then came the Israel bet on an Iranian regime change, that went south in 12 hours time. But to keep up the pressure the USA/Israel continued it for 12 days. During this period the Iranian spamed Israel with Shaheds/ballistic missiles, that soaked up the 75 % of strategical SAM/AA missiles stock.
-Now Israel and USA find themselves in a stiutaion, when to protect again a quite angry Iran and Russia regional bases and Israel they need to husband the leftover missile stock. The USA /Israel can't afford to waste any missile even to defend commercial shipping on red sea.
So, no USA warship in Red sea. No aircraft. There is nothing that can be used to protect them .

Well played, good game.I am sure the Iranians and Russians enjoyed the game.
Next time, dear USA , please scale up the daily low weight defence missile production to 2000/day prior start a war against industrial powers.
2000/year is like using tropical fruits against guns. Doesn't make a diference. The heavy weight fighters droping cheap ammunitions is like the drednaughts agaisnt aircraft carriers 90 years ago. Outdated.
I have to ask why dont the various EU navies go help out in the redsea, you dont need large numbers there and it does greatly impact you so go on various European naval powers.

Why no P320 handgun for ICE officers?

View attachment 156106

Sig Sauer P320 pistols are notorious for accidental discharges that have resulted in multiple lawsuits. Even

does a decent job documenting how "dogshit" they're.

Cheaper and wiser for law enforcement agencies like ICE to get rid of them, given the legal and financial liability they create, than to keep them in service.

Got it guys. When P320 was first introduced to US Army to replace the M9 Beretta, I was kind of surprise since M9 had been used for many years and it performed well. Maybe due to the cost of P320, using a lot of plastic parts, was cheaper than M9. Personally, I like M9 more than the P320.

The US Marines’ NEW Strategy to Delete China's Navy

Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
The Marine Corps scraps its land-based Tomahawk missile launcher program in favor of the new NMESIS system

The two news are the US giving up mainly on HIMARS for anti-ship purposes against China and switched to NSM and also canceling the ground-launched Tomahawk remaining only with NMESIS, citing logistical complications in both situations.
