⁣The war ended the moment Israel sent troops into Gaza.

Now they’re gone.

Hamas is still there.

Israel lost.

⁣“Russia is already at war with us.”

✅ We used the CIA to funnel money and weapons to Chechen rebels to help foment violence intended to break up Russia into component parts.

✅ We used the CIA to create a malignant political “opposition” designed to undermine the Russian government.

✅ We continued to push for the expansion of NATO to include Ukraine even though a sitting U.S. Ambassador warned it could lead to war.

✅ We facilitated a violent coup in Ukraine for the purpose of installing an anti-Russian ultra-nationalist government.

✅ We allowed the CIA to build 12 bases inside Ukraine for the purpose of carrying operations targeting Russia.

✅ We built a Ukrainian military designed for the sole purpose of fighting Russians.

✅ We facilitated the genocide of Russians in the Donbas by supporting Ukrainian/German/French non-compliance with the Minsk accords.

✅ We ignored all efforts by Russia to resolve the Ukrainian issue peacefully.

✅ We supplied tens of billions of dollars in military assistance to Ukraine in order to sustain a conflict we hoped would lead to the strategic defeat of Russia.

You have a warped understanding of the world, General.

Russia isn’t at war with us.

We’re at war with Russia.

⁣Ah, the Gulf War.

The first one.

The one we won.

The one you didn’t participate in.

The one where we threw a shit load of air power at a counter-SCUD problem that led to zero SCUD kills.

I remember it well.

I was there.

I also remember putting together a plan to forensically examine the battlefield after the fact to determine what killed what.

To take every pilot report, and the combat logs of ground combat units, and compare it to ground truth.

The Army loved the idea.

Buster Glosson and Chuck Horner did not.

In fact, it scared them so much that they had me removed from theater.

Why did it scare them so?

Because the preliminary proof of concept work showed Air Force claims to be wildly exaggerated.

Most equipment and personnel kills were done by ground forces.

Did they teach that at Command and Staff College or the National Defense University?

⁣I know, I know… as a zoomie the idea of military competence from anyone below the rank of 0-5 escapes you.

What I did in the Gulf War is well documented.

As is your ignorance of what I did in the Gulf War.

But thanks for the nice photo of the HABs in Habbaniyah.

If you ever want to know the back story to that photo, I’ll be glad to tell you. It has a lot to do with empty shelters…and the illusion of air power.

Care to show the photos of the fixed arm SCUD launchers at H-2 the vaunted F-15E Strike Eagles claimed they destroyed five times over?

It’s ok, Jeff, it’s beyond your capabilities. I’ll do it for you. By the way…this photo was taken on the ground, in Iraq, by me…you know, the “junior guy” who doesn’t know shit.

I led 14 Inspection teams in Iraq as Chief Inspector. I participated in more than 30 others as either the deputy chief inspector or operations officer.

I was the longest serving inspector on UNSCOM, which would make me “senior” to everyone else.

What you don’t know about weapons inspections in Iraq, and my role and impact in their execution, could fill volumes.

As for being a “mid-level guy”, well…you’re the fiction writer.

Let’s just say there was a reason the Senate invited me and the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense to testify at the same time back in September 1998.

And a reason why they refused to participate.

Pro hint: it wasn’t because of what I didn’t know, but rather what I knew based upon what I had done.

And it scared them.

Because I knew everything.

Because I was there.

Leading from the front.

Not some coffee drinking staff officer cooling his heals in Mons, Belgium.

⁣☄️ The struggle of our generation is to figure out how it is a close American ally came to be governed by an unelected Prime Minister, who then appointed a Foreign Minister who lacks a constituency.

⁣Now let’s talk deployability and sustainability.

Get all that NATO manpower and equipment out of the barracks and in the field.

Suddenly your numbers aren’t looking so good any more.

Germany struggles to deploy a brigade to Lithuania (4,800 troops.)

France is overstretched trying to get a brigade (2,000 troops) to Romania.

No NATO force is trained and equipped to fight and survive in high intensity ground combat.

It’s all smoke and mirrors.
