Just remember....as bad as things are right now ...you can plan on it getting lots worse soon.

Unprecedented poo is happening all around the world...

Point taken Marty. Its going to get much worse and in short order IMO.

Yes, no point arguing about things on here...if someone is not aware by now they are beyond hope. I bet we could get a list going...

Ha! Do we start in alphabetical order with the letter B?!

We'll see how the "space war" goes, although probably won't even know about it. From a comment on an international blog I follow.....

"Ukraine now has the worlds third largest military budget after the US and China. India comes fourth. At $85 billion (or 86, but what is one measly billion between friends), the greed of the various defense industries is at fever point.

Although, because the profitability of defense industries was normally based on selling cash cows to gullible citizens, it is now based on the ones that work.

We have seen a rapid and vast change in the tactics and means used on the battlefield. Notably the use of enhanced accuracy of artillery and MLRS/HIMARs, stand-off weapons (drones and missiles). Plus the introduction of a vast range of armoured vehicles. Plus the hiding of Ammunition/fuel dumps, and logistical supply lines.

One observation is that the US has a better oversight of the ground and has been able to call on things like Musk's starlink. Being distanced from the front line might have enabled the US "overstaff" the relative calm of retiring for the night to their respective cosy quarters with the gender of their choice.
The Russians claimed 70 military satellites and 250plus civilian ones are being used by the US. I reckon that something must be done about these if any form of operational surprise is to be had.

I just wonder if we will see the beginning of near space manoeuvres (Planes plus missiles) or lasers/E-vehicles in action?"
