Weaponized miniature drone used in Syria. Here’s the footage

I’m going to show you footage of a weaponized miniature unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone in Syria. It’s clearly armed with a machine gun. The UAV is a small helicopter designed for nearly silent running. Below is a video from 2010. That’s a full-size helicopter. Forgive the adult-film soundtrack. Now imagine a small aircraft…

Toad? Okay, I’m a toad. Consider becoming one yourself

I’m a toad. Like the poet Stephen Crane. Social media is the playpen of mental patients. Today someone who followed me on Twitter sent me this. You can tell a lot about people by what they find attractive. Sinister, mannered, bitter, hostile, grim, pompous old men don’t do it for me. Denise A. Rubin and…

Cavemen don’t win wars. They make threats and then die

I’m not able to tell you when or how Israel will take action against her enemies. The Arab League completely flummoxed me with its military brilliance; therefore I gave up trying to figure out what was going to happen next. I think Israel was waiting for everyone arrayed against her to become cavemen. That moment…

Illusion, reality, and symbolism blend in a virtuoso performance

I was asked today if the fact that a Turkish fighter jet flew into Syria meant that the Saudi invasion had begun. Well, I believe that the Saudi invasion began in October of 2014 at the latest, when fifty Arab fighters helped 2000 Kurds at Kobane repel 10,000 Islamic State terrorists armed with main battle…

Strategic special forces are about to go to war

In the summer of 2015, there were massive nocturnal military exercises held all over the American Southwest. However, these were not American troops. The Saudis have revealed who they were: Arab and Asian (and Israeli but shhhhhh) strategic special forces. These extremely lethal units are ready for combat. Their training is complete. Yesterday the Saudis…

Trench warfare in Syria? Time for flamethrowers

Syria has gone back a hundred years, returning to trench warfare. For the sake of the people on our side, flamethrowers must be introduced. Here’s what Colonel Steve Warren—spokesman for Combined Task Force Operation Inherent Resolve—recently said. I’ll tell you, that’s a tough fight right now. From what I’ve seen, the imagery I’ve looked at,…

Turkey confirms that Arab League special forces are in Syria

I don’t blame people for being wrong about what’s happening in Syria. What does anger me is fearmongering and the notion that only westerners are capable of solving the problems in the region. American politicians say that the US has to lead the fight. Actually, our attempts to do so have made everything worse. The…

Clandestine military operations are smart military operations

My new obsession is clandestine military operations. For the life of me, I can’t understand telegraphing your intent this way. Crack SAS troops are in Libya preparing for the arrival of around 1,000 British infantrymen to be sent against ISIS there in early 2016. Special Forces including military close observation experts from the Special Reconnaissance…

Western powers can’t bring peace to the Middle East

I’ll admit it: I was wrong. The US and Europe were never destined to bring about peace in the Middle East. Western powers should only provide advanced weaponry and other military support to nations in the region. Middle Easterners understand how to do things in their part of the world. We’re completely clueless. Looking back…

Judging others and finding them wanting is how you survive

Two great films are The Omega Man and its remake I Am Legend. The second version has an alternate ending that they ultimately rejected. However, the fact that they filmed it shows how corroded our morality has become. For some reason judging is now considered so wrong that you’re supposed to view even homicidal lunacy…
