Pentagon Requests Blowout Budget To Fight ‘Climate Crisis’ And ‘Extremism’ Among Troops

Funds will be reallocated to bolster “climate resiliency” and invest in clean energy. The request allocates $617 million for ensuring military installations can operate efficiently and recover from infrastructure disruption, R&D for new energy technologies and “climate-informed” wargaming, analysis and contingency planning.

Rooting out the supposed extremism within the military is another focus of the budget, with almost $31 million requested for strengthen tools to “identify and address extremism.”

Iranian Warship Thought to be Headed to Venezuela Left Port with 7 High-Speed Missile Boats Aboard

The seven missile craft aboard Makran are each approximately 57 feet (17.5 meters) long and match the Peykaap family of medium-sized fast attack craft operated by Iran. There are several variations of these craft in Iranian service, although all are generally similar. The latest Peykaap-II type (also known as the Bavar class) is 57 feet long and can carry two anti-ship missiles and two 12.75 inch torpedoes. The missiles could be of the Kowsar or Nasr types, which are derived from Chinese models with a quite modest range of around 18 nautical miles.

650 Ships and Counting: The Chinese Navy Is Becoming a Monster

The People’s Liberation Army Navy possesses between 313 and 342 warships, the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence estimated last year.

Mach 30 wind tunnel to ‘put China decades’ ahead in hypersonic race

Chinese Academy of Sciences researcher Han Guilai told an online lecture last week that the JF-22 wind tunnel, in Beijing’s Huairou district, was capable of simulating flights at up to 10km per second – 30 times the speed of sound. Together with an existing facility, also in Beijing, it would put China “about 20 to 30 years ahead” of the West.

Ted Cruz tears into the ‘woke, emasculated military’ that’s turning into ‘pansies’ with video showing VERY different American and Russian Army recruitment ads

The first half opens with footage of a Russian soldier – shaven headed, muscular – parachuting from a plane, before staring down the scope of his rifle in arctic conditions.

Then it cuts to the animated story of a ‘little girl, raised by two moms’ who describes how she defended freedom by attending LGBTQ marches and grew up to join the U.S. Army.

While the American military said its recruitment video was designed to highlight the diversity of the men and women in uniform, Sen. Ted Cruz saw it differently when he shared a TikTok clip that spliced it with the Russian footage.

US Navy’s Possible UFO Encounter Leaked, Crew Films Controlled Flight Before It Vanishes

A new video has been leaked showing United States Naval personnel having a close encounter with an unidentified flying object (UFO) which appeared to be spherical and making a controlled descent into the ocean. Reportedly, the object was filmed by a camera aboard the USS Omaha as it sailed off the coast of San Diego in July 2019. In the video, which has now been shared by investigative filmmaker Jeremy Corbell on Instagram, two unidentified crew members could be heard exclaiming, “Wow, it splashed.” This was after the ‘ball’ made a flight over the ocean and then eventually splashed into the sea and then disappeared underwater.

While China Plots War, Biden’s Military Goes Woke

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has called for a “new vision” for the military even if no one, including him, can explain what it is. Austin has been touting something he calls “Integrated Deterrence” a buzzword that seems to involve AI, the State Department, and some sort of new way of war. But mostly it means that war is a silly idea and that no one should fight wars.

Saideman: Canada’s Armed Forces are in limbo. It’s time to appoint a new chief of the defence staff

It’s déjà vu all over again at the highest levels of Canada’s military: A senior leader of the Canadian Armed Forces is being investigated, causing another officer to step up in an acting capacity for who knows how long, with a domino effect on the other positions at the highest levels. Did the government learn anything from how they handled the vice-admiral Mark Norman affair? I am not so sure. After Norman was suspended from his position, the upper echelons of the armed forces were put into an untenable position. The CAF ended up having seven vice chiefs of the defence staff in about five years, in part because the government did not move forward when it was clear that Norman would be unable to serve even if he was cleared of the charges.

Endless spin and circles of inaction mark Liberals’ response to sexual harassment in the military

Six years and 33 days after a former Supreme Court judge issued a report calling for an independent body to handle complaints of sexual harassment in the military, the Liberal government has appointed a former Supreme Court judge to report on creating an independent body to handle complaints of sexual harassment in the military.

If you read that sentence again and spin around three times, you might just get a sense of the progress the Liberal government has made on the issue.

French Generals Call for Military Rule if Macron Fails to Crack Down on Islamist Terrorism

Twenty mostly retired generals from the French Armed Forces have called for France to be put under the military’s rule if the government led by President Emmanual Macron cannot get control of the threat posed to the country by political Islamism.

The letter the group of generals signed, written by Captain Jean-Pierre Fabre-Bernadac, described the threat as France “disintegrating with the Islamists of the hordes of the banlieue [suburbs] who are detaching large parts of the nation and turning them into territory subject to dogmas contrary to our constitution.” The letter was published in the French right-wing magazine Valeurs Actuelles.
