Both Biden and Trump have been expanding and empowering a special operations force who's territory includes the US. This is at least as scary as Trump continually mobilizing national guard troops to patrol US cities.
Thanks again for dispersing some of the dry ice and mirrors. It is hard to keep in mind with all the swooping Clancyesque Mission Impossible stuff that the constant is a massive glacial creeping bureaucracy. Somewhere there must be an elite unit still hunting for the NVA/VC's Central Office for South Vietnam!
There is one mission that should be at the top of the priority list for the US, China, Russia, Mexico and every other country on earth: GET OFF OF FOSSIL FUEL.
Instead, Trump is promoting the use of fossil fuel, declares global warming a hoax and with all the military monkey business he loves you can be sure lots and lots of fossil fuel is being burned simply deploying troops and equipment here there and everywhere.
Meanwhile in "the private sector" we have a completely pointless use of fossil fuel - SPACE TOURISM! That's not enough, let's get man on Mars despite robots already being there with no need of assistance by fragile bags of meat.
And Joe and Mary Citizen just can't wait to fly, fly, fly to every point on the planet just for fun and to say they have been there. Every flight, with so many more projected, powered by fossil fuel. And retirees looking forward to fly, fly, fly simply for sightseeing. Let's go see and touch a Roman viaduct!
And how about a big new pickup or SUV? It will be a hybrid? What pioneers (of consumption) we are.
Is there any intelligent life on planet earth? Remind me again that man is the rational animal.
The biggest problem in my mind is that there is no overarching sense of mission and ROEs. The priorities bounce around depending on who whispered what most recently to the highest link in the chain.
I previously had much greater hope that the Mil would remain as a bulwark against the Trumpers worst desires. My confidence in that backstop has been eroded daily.
Great work though. I spent many years on one of those black gizmos that break through the ice sheet.
from what I read about what JSOC does, they assassinate anyone they can, whether involved or not; the US is a killing machine and has no empathy for anyone, and trump is especially cruel.

yes, important to understand how longstanding this all is

glad you found it helpful!
Ken, thank you again for the extensive research. You rock.
Who owns CACI?

Outstanding analysis.

It was a simpler time…🥹
All the best.
