I spent some time in the UK (including Scotland) in the 70s, Calli. It was great then. I have no intention of visiting the UK again.
We were based in London for three years in the mid-1980s. Interesting, a lot of fun, but we were glad to come home.
BTW it was 32 degrees here in the NSW Central Tablelands, and it was a beautiful day. Grandson & girlfriend have been here for a couple of days and have been for a dip in the creek which is still flowing beautifully. It has a rock bottom, so the water is very clear. Harvest moon put on a beautiful show over the mountains for them – very romantic.
Even our Scottish origin cows, still with winter coats, were out grazing & only sought shelter under the big Box gums at the middle of the day. Yet, tonight the coastal TV press is warning of the “heat wave”.
It is beyond stupid.
My next visit is 3 hours in Heathrow. 😀
Must admit when I first lobbed up in London in 1988 my first thought was ‘I can see why my forbears emigrated’ but it grew on me after a while but that was the height of the Thatcher era. Last visit was at the start of the bLIAR era and I thought it was just dirty. Haven’t been back.
How Europe’s font of civilisation descended into a hotbed of fascism and authoritarianism is a subject for academics to explore — once the West regains a truly curious academia that isn’t just a front for fascism.
I think that may take 20-30 years as fascism and censorship have become popular with the overgrown children who run the professional protest industry.

The coup de main in Nagorno-Karabakh may have unfrozen a few frozen conflicts. The big boys are busy, so the smaller critters can play. Serbia has long wanted to incorporate the northern ethnic Serbian bit of Kosovo back into the home country.
Be interesting to see if this occurs. If successful the Republic of Srpska in Bosnia would be next.
I love visiting the UK. Just about every minute of it. But it has changed for the worse, and I don’t see it recovering any time soon, if ever. Incould say the same about most places.
Perhaps I’m just getting old…but I don’t think it’s just age. There have been real cultural changes. The last of which knocked me for six – an attempt by a cabbie to cheat us out of £20. And a general sense of misery…all the optimism seemed to have evaporated. It contrasted starkly with the determined and abundant baskets of flowers festooned outside the pubs.
Turn on the idiot box and it’s wall to wall catastrophe and gaslighting – Orwell would recognise it immediately. So would Lewis. The Men Without Chests (or perhaps the not-men with too much chest) have prevailed.
He goes back to Moscow and he notices about 80% of the women in the Romanov family are wearing red ribbons in solidarity with the Bolsheviks who wound up murdering them. How is it that this country is being devoured by a violent revolution and the people are refusing even to acknowledge that it’s happening and the ruling class against whom it is aimed are sympathizing with it? If this doesn’t remind you of BLM, I don’t know what does.
The left are retards where ever they are and they fuk everything they touch. But the conservatives are worse because every fuking time they assume the left will play by the rules and have a point.

As do I, I love London, I love towns like Bath. But yes, the downward spiral has become radical, particularly over the last decade. Actually, it’s a decay. The rot really began under Blair, and was made worse by successive spineless cowardly Conservative governments that, since 2010, have done nothing to rein in/to curb or to rescind Blair’s policy blunders.
In some ways, as Theodore Dalrymple observes, the French are more fortunate, they’re not in nearly as bad a situation as the UK. For all Macron’s faults, he stood firm in the summer of 2020 when various French far-left scum tried to import the statue vandalism, the smashings and topplings that were happening in the US and in the UK. Whilst Boris Johnson stood, sucked his thumb and said nothing, Macron stood up and stood firm, saying NON to statue topplings. As he said, this is our history!

Years ago I read a biography about Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovich, Nicholas II’s youngest sister. Olga, along with her elder sister, Xenia, escaped Russia after the revolution. They were lucky not to be captured by the Bolsheviks, and if they had been caught, they would certainly have been killed. Grand Duchess Olga, her family and other Romanovs, including Xenia and their mother, Empress Marie (the sister of Queen Alexandra of Great Britain), fled to the Crimea where, in 1918, a British frigate rescued them, on the orders of King George V. Anyway, in this book, which was written whilst Olga was still alive (she died in 1960, in Canada), she talked about the betrayal of various family members, and she also talked about the active betrayal by various members of the then Russian elite, the aristocracy and the upper classes, with the Bolsheviks and other revolutionaries. As Olga said in this biography, the wealthy classes make the revolution, then the return home and think everyone will proceed as normal, only to find out that…aham…..everything changes, and not for the better.
There is another good book on the Romanovs who survived the revolution, it was called “The Flight of the Romanovs”. I still have it, it makes for interesting reading. Many of Nicholas uncles cousins, whilst not Bolsheviks, toyed with the radicals revolutionaries, only to end up as corpses in cellars in Moscow and St Petersburg. Of course, the end result of these aristocratic dalliances with revolutionaries was that Nicholas, his wife and their children were butchered in a cellar, and ordinary Russians were subject to over seventy years of savagery, murder and totalitarianism. Over 18 Romanovs were murdered by the Bolsheviks, five of them children.
Here’s an interesting titbit of Romanov history (I love history). In 2015, in Katherine in the Northern Territory, an elderly man by the name of Leonard Kulikovsky was found dead under a tree after having suffered a heart attack whilst walking his dog. He’d lived in the Northern Territory since the 1970s, was known to be a misfit, vagabond, and local eccentric. This man was the grandson of the Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovich, and the grand-nephew of the last Tsar, Nicholas II.

Outgoing Rogue General Mark Milley Fires Back at President Donald Trump: “We Don’t Take an Oath to a Wannabe Dictator”

We visited our pommy daughter twice yearly and gradually shortened the length of our stays, not because we dislike the UK, we actually thoroughly enjoy the place. But ‘our UK’ is becoming harder to find. The stunning scenery and lovely people are still there outside of greater London, but that landscape and those folks are receeding.
Last trip we took the grandkids down the river to Greenwich, one of my favourite metropolitan sites. Both banks, well beyond Greenwich, were wall to wall dogbox apartments. Not as apalling as Alexanderia (the poms still have some standards), but still depressing.
We have told the Pommy kids that it is time for them to holiday here.

You have a point there.
The septic view. How apt. Again with the “Orcs” comments ( then the bs crawl back.) But typical of the Amrrrcan view of any opposition they seek out interfering around the globe. Who gives AF about the tens of thousands of young men being minced up as long as they aren’t Yanks. Right?
As I said before, classifying a whole people as grossly sub-human was the first step Hitler took in justifying the wiping our of 6 million Jews. It’s a contemptible and vile .pov. Wtf is it doing here then , dover?
Sedition probably if at all.
Sitting here, I can’t see “winning” in the whole vocabulary of Ukraine v Russia.
Loss, Loss, Win (for Emperor Xi).
I believe it’s the other way around. It’s impossible to see how a hire pans out through an interview, or even many interviews. The real secret to success is to try and be careful when hiring people, but be quick to pull the plug if you realise it won’t work out. That was Trump’s great strength. He admitted he was wrong when he fired someone. I fired traders a few weeks after hiring, much to the chagrin of HR because stability in retention numbers is somehow suggesting success. Bulllshit, as it’s also an indication of accumulating deadwood.
Other presidents have been loathe to do that, which is why they end up with lots of deadwood. The crummy world we live in is where a president or leader is looked down on by the media if he fires a secretary, when in fact they ought to be applauding someone for recognizing they made a mistake.

Yeah, that was hilarious. People talk about Trump being old but he has a savage and nimble gift for humour that does not arise from ossified minds.
The whole of late night TV, with the likes of Colbert, Trevor Noah, That Oliver Tit etc could not match it – they have armies of people whose one and only job is producing jokes – they don’t have to get anything else right – to do that for them.

You know, I really don’t get it, but I started watching the Gladiator today as I said.
He’s so funny.
It’s actually a very NY sense of humor. In fact it’s a hybrid NYC Jewish humor. Watch Seinfeld and compare it to Trump as it’s very similar.
I’ve never seen Trump lose it. He measures his words and lets them go to work. I think it’s really admirable given the scum he must encounter every day, though come to think of it, I do remember him looking to the press at the back of the hall and telling the audience ‘These people are scum’.
His voice stays level unlike Biden’s who can sound like an over revved model airplane when he gets all righteous.
Mind you, Trump does some peculiar stuff like brandishing the Bible as he walked outside the WH that time. He flourished it but kept silent.
Was that over the vandalism of the Presidents’ church?
He’s lost recently on the website he uses but it’s in perfect keeping with the vile abuse he’s been handed out.

One of the problems with the pre-1990s ADF super scheme was that it encouraged some (generally those with limited hope of further promotion) to “Retire in Place” (RIP).
The old APS scheme also had problems, but it has been changed twice since then.
Damn. I can so see it now.
Yes, calli, you might be right. I just remember that image, made more striking perhaps by his staying mute while fending off the rioters with a Bible. Or that’s one view.

Firing someone is a very hard thing to do, but you have to do it otherwise it accumulates problems. It’s a huge problem in big firms, at least it was 20 years ago and it hasn’t changed a bit.
The problem in non-owner firms is that people will hide their mistakes by shunting deadwood aside or trying to shove the problem to another department.

A bureaucracy is the ultimate “non-owner firm”, and everything run, or subsidised by, the government, ends up as a bureaucracy. Look at the way schools, churches and charities subsisised by government eventually end up wrapped in red tape.
dearest JC,
your enthusiasm to engage in specious argument simply has to be admired
many other commenters here seem restrained by comparison.
despite their apparent depth of knowledge in specific fields,
they do for the most part hold back with the whole ‘rush to certainty’ that you possess on matters like international diplomacy, world finance and political detentes.
perhaps they doubt themselves or they’re a little temperate with their assertions because they await more data
anyway, you seem completely unrestrained by a lack of knowledge, or depth of argument
how is it that you power on like you do?

It’s a phenomenon that started two years ago. It’s disgraceful. I’m going to maybe – and I’m looking at it very seriously -we’re doing some other things that you probably noticed like some of the very important things that we’re doing now. But we’re looking at it very seriously, because you can’t do that. … It’s inappropriate. Now, we have to take the people and do something. We have to do something.”

His recent verbal gaffes don’t surprise me. He doesn’t exercise, he’s fat, he loves McDonalds, and he’s nearly 80. For example, in a recent speech he stated 3 times how he beat Obama in the election. On the fourth he got it right. He then went onto say that Biden will start WW2.

The first, it’s a little inarticulate, but listen to a vid with Gavin Newson when he looks like he was in very late 30s and figure out what he said. Also, the spoken word can often sound more articulate than when seeing it in writing.
He is old, but he’s in incredibly much better shape than the cadaver currently in the Oval Office.
Politicians often make the mistake of naming the wrong person . No biggie.
One firm I worked for limited low-quality hires by making your review grade (and then bonus) dependent on the worst grade of the hires you made in the last 12 months. Quite effective but not universally followed. And some managers would give good grades to their staff before pushing them off to other divisions.

Biden clearly has lost it. Trump is starting to lose it. The first is a word salad, not just a little inarticulate but I’ll give you credit for rationalization on a grand scale. I listen to his speeches, he’s not that articulate. I expect people to make excuses for his gaffes. In 2016 I warned people Biden was already on the way out and they didn’t believe me so I don’t expect Trump acolytes to see the obvious. Elkhonen Goldberg, a Russian neuroscientist resident in NY, upon hearing Reagan at the Contra hearings, stated he then knew Reagan was on the way out. Most people didn’t see that.
Yeah. The hand pass is the worst.

Katherine in the Northern Territory
Quite a few White Russians landed in Katherine where they mainly tried peanut farming. Not much left now, except the street names Ivanoff, Kriloff and Helena, in the suburb or area of Cossack. Just the names, and their seeds, scattered on the wind. I have heard the story of a family friend who escaped, a perilous journey where an aunt or mother as a young child with blond hair and blue eyes was taken in to a hareem and had to be rescued by her mother or grandmother, who must have been a bit like Calli, full of fire. 🙂

I don’t post often these days, just a fevered glance from time to time, but I can assure you that the live export of cattle has for all intents and purposes, shut down.

Rationalization is strong in this one.
With Trump naming Obama, as in having beaten him in the election, it is widely speculated that Obama is pulling the stings with Biden the puppet president.
Trump was likely using irony in referring.

If you listen to him talking in vids from say 20 years ago , and he was always on news shows (ignoring his TV show), it’s obvious he’s not as articulate and to the point now as he was then.
But here’s the issue. They went after him since the first week of his presidency with all sorts of hoaxes and lies. If he wins, this is a revenge election. Hopefully, he’ll resign after a year or two once he clears the important stuff from his desk. He’ll manage at least another three years.
It’s a pity Trump isn’t married to someone who has the ability to suss out and steer him away from untrustworthy people like Nancy Reagan was apparently able to do
Have you seen the speech? If not, why even speculate on his motives? There was no humour there, he was deadly serious. This is another example of what amazes with political junkies. They will go to extraordinary lengths to support their heroes.
JC,
Heard about all the jazz he was going to do the first term and that didn’t happen. But continue in the faith, continue to believe that he will perform the necessary miracles and raise the USA from the quagmire it is in.

They had the guy knee deep in the wussiagate hoax in the first two years and all the rest. They tried to hound him to an early grave. He had to fight through the courts for almost all his policy ideas. And, he got through a lot. He was a great prez, possibly the best since Lincoln. This is no exaggeration. They tried to break him but couldn’t.

If he is not assassinated, he will be Pres again. I am relishing the cancelling of various global warmening boondoggles, cancelling of WHO, UN, etc. Bring back gas, oil, pipeline, fill up the fuel tanks again when he drives the price of oil through the floor again.
It will be famous! All the renting of clothes, the spinning of heads the wailing!
Have you seen the relevant campaign speech where he made those statements? Why are people so desperate to find reasons for his behavior when they haven’t even witnessed it?
Him assassinated? Do you read the new? He recently stated Milley should be executed. Entertain me with the endless series of rationalisations to justify a potential president deciding who should be executed without trial.

Fair comment by Trump on Milley, and not as alleged by someone above
I love a little comic relief with my morning caffe, doesn’t happen often
You don’t think what Miley did with Pelosi was seditious? She’s a senile old drunk so her talk about capacity is ridiculous and hypocritical.
…and no, I shouldn’t have to state the obvious, actually calling for someone’s execution is not fair play, but did he really do that?
Trump’s take on Milley is correct.
Look at that sentence. No way is it the product of an addled mind. It’s a measured and precise summary of treachery and it conveys the gravity of the country’s situation. How you remain cool in the face of such heinous disloyalty is beyond me. Admirable.

An interesting relationship relevant to AC power is:

The proles will accept all sorts of stuff meekly, but the car policy changes have really stirred them up. That Sunak, who is green as grass, should have backflipped in the same week on the banning of ICEs in 2030 and also to overturn the crazy 30 kph speed zones suggests a very serious grass-roots revolt is smoldering just under the surface.

Looking forward to visiting Gulgong-Hill End-Mudgee next month Vicky. Something rather mysterious and magical about that part of the state.
Milton – we are in the Capertee Valley
Vicki,
Cousin by Marriage had a property in Wolgan Valley entry opposite to Emirates and we used to camp there – the only building was a tin shed drop dunny with no door and a great view of the Setting Sun on the walls behind Emirates, as you sat in contemplation – PS Lots of Wombats
Father in Law was one of 14 born in Lithgow and left school at end of primary – worked in Wolgan Valley Shale Oil processing then hewed railway sleepers
Spent a lot of time in Wolgan & Carpertee Valleys – best time was staying at mates place Riverlee outside Tarana on the old road to Bathurst where we created a Vineyard over a number of years – railway above, Fish River and trout fishing below – platypus in the river
Still have some bottles of wine we created – definitely not medal winners but quaffable

Dear Helen,
Good to see you and get the low down on cattle sales in the top end. The stupid, industry killing regulations come as no surprise.
Also, I think you meant Cassie, not me. 😀

Are you worried about your country’s population suddenly dying off & the declining birthrates?
Stop worrying. We’ll fool you by replacing them with illegal immigrants and you’ll never see the difference.

They’re running Wallis Sparkles up the flagpole to see who salutes. When you look at the Washington sideshow alley exhibits, nothing surprises.
Pretty tame driving there now compared to the old days

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
Networks from all over the world should be lining up to interview this woman….but of course it will never happen.
Spread the word with those you love about SIDS being a result of childhood jabs.

Unless I grossly misunderstood what is going on.
It’s fringe stuff but unless they faked it etc

I’m more interested in the derivation of phi and what that means.

Fence being put up to protect the site
The Northumberland National Park Authority says a fence will be put up to protect the Sycamore Gap site. Their latest statement is below:
“We are deeply touched by all the messages of support and ideas we continue to receive. Today with the agreement of the landowners, the National Trust, Northumberland National Park Authority is putting a fence up to protect the site.
“The celebration room at The Sill: National Landscape Discovery Centre continues to provide a place for people to leave their thoughts, tributes and memories.”
“We would like to remind everyone that the site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and UNESCO World Heritage Site. We know both the tree and the site are important to so many people, we ask everyone to please allow the National Park and our partners the time and space to progress with the next steps.”
FMD Cats and Kittehs. Made the mistake of leaving the television on the morning programme. Joe Hildebrand extolling the virtues of Tits Shorten. Apparently Prime Minister material.
Here’s a practical idea for the Sycamore Gap.
Grind the stump and plant a new tree in place of the vandalised one. Then put a wall around it.
The original tree would have enough material on it to be able to retrieve a scion or a thousand. Or at least material for tissue culture.
Send it off to the labs and produce marketable plants, all proceeds going to protection of heritage sites, particularly the living ones. Do what they did with the Wollemi Pine and the Gallipoli rosemary. Make it pay.
This is good.
This is very good.
I hear the sound of steel on whetstone.

Only in Australia could this happen. Will Blabbersak referee?
This Congressman used to be a school principal. His school conducted 12 fire drills a year but it only ever achieved a 27% literacy rate:
Done before during 2020 elections. Worked then, why not now?
I don’t mind Musk, he does what he does, but why change the name of twitter to X?
Not a member and not likely be in the future.
Disrupt the proceedings on Congress? Sounds like an — insurrection!

Snap, sorta.
Ah. Mr Dollard. Thanks Dot.
England expects that every man will keep constantly educating and researching about trans matters.

Official Biochemical and Statistical Evidence proves beyond a reasonable doubt Moderna created the COVID-19 “Virus”
Followed by lots of sciencey calculations proving beyond reasonable doubt that:
Obviously.
The only remaining questions are:
So many questions.
Luckily the writer is able to tie it all together:
The reason that the writer is so confident that Moderna or their agents made and leaked Covid-19 and the reason I called it as such at the start of the pandemic to almost as much ridicule as Prof Montagnier received (God bless him) is that the scriptures say in Matthew27, Mark15 and John19 that.
Slam dunk. I don’t think we can argue with the Patent Office and the New Testament.
(Technical Note: I suspect the new Disinformation Czar will have difficulty working out whether this is humour, or that the Cat should be shut down.)
I know Dollard can be controversial because he is openly fringe but what they demonstrated is very interesting nevertheless.
The fact that they used (avoided) phi in their construction of the amplifier & rack for it and there is a precise analytical function to calculate phi based off a transcendental and the unit circle is intriguing given how AC phases are analysed.
Tell me more. My efforts at monetisation wouldn’t even get me a cup of coffee.
Indeed. Blind Freddy could have seen this coming.
After trying to trick the Australian public into approving a racist amendment to the Constitution, the not-very-bright Uncle Luigi will become a lame duck prime minister on October 15.
The question is: how long will the Liars carry their lame duck leader?
With a federal election due by 2025, I think the Faceless Men will replace Uncle Luigi next year with a female to take the fall for the party’s stupidity.
How about a tastefully decorative wind turbine.
Imagine claiming a reference to what used to happen was a call for that thing to happen now.
It is indeed amazing what some people will believe to protect their narrative.
I’m sure someone here said something similar recently, will have to scroll up.
yes, given the rise of ‘SADS’ after the COVID injections, I pondered a year or so back whether ‘SIDS’ had a similar association – and why yes, yes it does!
My money is on Tanya Plibersek.
My initial thoughts were 3 months for Albo. That might be optimistic. They still haven’t got Gallagher yet though.
I don’t mind Musk
Nor do I, and he’s one of the few people on the planet who is not just willing to speak up for free speech, he has stuck his neck out for free speech.
Different sides of course.
Nearer to 14th October would be good to have a referendum thread. Plus people putting up their rankings of states in relation to voting No. The tie breaker being total percentage of population voting No.
So far seems Qld in competition with WA for highest No vote with TAS the lowest.
I spoke to a friend yesterday and he is hard No. However said his wife and 3 adult children were going to vote Yes. He said they would not accept his logical reasons to vote No. Had argued with wife about it just before we met. I told him should simply not try to discuss it further if affecting his family relationships. He is very successful in his field and at one point had three kids in one of the top Brisbane schools. Expensive education does not always lead to common sense.
Another acquaintance said he was voting Yes just because Abbot and Dutton were voting no.
One thing that has surprised me is
how few have heard of Thomas Mayo.
Last few days Noel Pearson getting a lot of Twitter notice in relation to the $550m his Cape York entities have received since 2005. This was due to a Bolt article and segment he did with MP Warren Entch on Sky earlier last week.
Interesting times. Credit must go to the PM for dividing the country so well.
Taking Mr Plibersek on the de rigueur world tour might cause some difficulties.
Visa-wise.
On Senator Markle:
Obviously not too weird for California or the US Senate – but will nobody think of the constitutional crisis it would cause for King Chaz?
Moderna. It’s CEO was in the French company that built the Wuhan lab.
He then somehow was able to make a prediction, in Davos/WEF, that a pandemic was coming and company was going to sell a lot of vaccines.
Also note that it is Moderna that is building, with Government funding, production facilities in UK, Canada and Australia.
Looks like GetUp! drones are having a jabbalicious morning.
Go to it numpties, but be careful with your nose picking finger. Keep it safe.
haven’t really mathed in about 20 years but something like …
e^((pi.i)/5) + e^-((pi.i)/5)
= 2cos(pi/5)

This fuking letitia james BS: she valued Mar-a-Lago at $18 million which the judge accepted: Mar-a-Lago is 18 acres of water front land with arguably the most iconic house in the US with other improvements. A couple of blocks down the waterfront from Mar-a-Lago is a vacant 2 acre block: market value $150-200 million.
Trump’s banks did their own due diligence and there was no default on any of the valuation based loans. James, another fat, black bitch and the judge, a demorat slime bag should be, as Trump suggests about Milley, executed because they are literally destroying the US legal system.
Does phi = 2cos(?/5) actually have any use that is well known or a novel application in electrical engineering?
My money is on Tanya Plibersek.
Pliber’s hubbie is a convicted heroin dealer. Very appropriate.
also equals ( sqrt(5) + 1 ) / 2
and
cos(?/5) = cos(36°)=?cos(144°)
and
pentagrams !!
…spooky
dammit … cos(pi/5) = cos(36°)= (-)cos(144°)
I do not know
but if it does
it’s probably the pentagrams
Haven’t we seen again and again with each generation kids leaving high school, entering uni and almost at once see them change – filling up with fanciful abstractions and theories, which they proclaim constantly with supreme condescension, dismissing all objections to lack of vision, ignorance, stupidity, and a selfish desire to maintain status in the status quo.
Then they graduate, gain experience and knowledge, have families, and the whole fatuous cycle starts again.
Whoops.
Wrong thread.

phi in elec eng is usually for representing Phase Angle
Cohenite,
Tim Pool did a great podcast on this topic. The club on the Mar-A-Lago site does US$25 million of business a year alone. And as if the banks would just accept Trump’s word on the value. I have yet to take out or refinance a mortgage without the bank sending somebody around to value the property.
Karma is a right b**ch and the people who are so intent on destroying Trump will receive theirs.
To paraphrase: “Live by the (legally dubious) sword, die by the (legally dubious) sword.” There are the piled up corpses of many useful idiots as testament to that truth.
Perhaps Meghan Markle hopes to be adopted, like a stray, as VP by President Oprah.
Think of all the podcasts she could do!
Damned lizard people.
Flying Duck 9.57. Re SIDS.
Infant deaths were recorded in the 1800,s and parents blamed alcoholics who rolled on the baby during the night.
I wonder if it is actually oxygen deprivation that causes SIDS .When babies are enclosed in cribs with material coverings causing a capsule that prevents air flow in and allows the accumulation on C02 over the baby.
And to which no-one would listen
Win, that fabric covering suggestion is pretty unlikely given the COLOSSAL research and feedback on SIDS research over the last 40 years or more.
We heard a lot of tummy sleeping/back sleeping correlations changing over time; as we raised four babies and all our friends raised theirs but I never saw in use or advertised a fabric covered cot. Only instance would be mossie nets in malarial areas.
The researchers would have been on it like a flash.
I wonder where the neocons are planning their next war?;
The US Military Is Laying the Groundwork to Reinstitute the Draft
“The most recent edition of the US Army War College’s academic journal includes a highly disturbing essay on what lessons the US military should take away from the continuing war in Ukraine. By far the most concerning and most relevant section for the average American citizen is a subsection entitled “Casualties, Replacements, and Reconstitutions” which, to cut right to the chase, directly states, “Large-scale combat operations troop requirements may well require a reconceptualization of the 1970s and 1980s volunteer force and a move toward partial conscription.”
An Industrial War of Attrition Would Require Vast Numbers of Troops
The context for this supposed need to reinstate conscription is the estimate that were the US to enter into a large-scale conflict, every day it would likely suffer thirty-six hundred casualties and require eight hundred replacements, again per day. The report notes that over the course of twenty years in Iraq and Afghanistan, the US suffered fifty thousand casualties, a number which would likely be reached in merely two weeks of large-scale intensive combat.
The military is already facing an enormous recruiting shortfall. Last year the army alone fell short of its goal by fifteen thousand soldiers and is on track to be short an additional twenty thousand this year. On top of that, the report notes that the Individual Ready Reserve, which is composed of former service personnel who do not actively train and drill but may be called back into active service in the event they are needed, has dropped from seven hundred thousand in 1973 to seventy-six thousand now.”

For the history buffs (and my apologies if I have missed somebody already pointing this out):
October 14 is the anniversary of the Battle of Hastings. And we all know how pivotal that was.
Also Senior Baby Bird’s birthday.
