In response to a question of “which is a bigger threat, the climate or China?” Kirby said, “You’ve heard the secretary talk about the climate as a — a real and existential national security threat . . . And we considered China as the number one pacing challenge for the department. Both are equally important. Both are — are challenges that the secretary wants the senior leadership at the Pentagon to be focused on, as well as many others, too.”

Second U.S. Aircraft Carrier Missile Target Spotted in Chinese Desert

The site consists of a single aircraft carrier target, miles from the nearest town in the Xinjiang region, according to photos provided to USNI News by satellite imagery company Maxar. The carrier target is about 300 miles away from a larger suspected missile range in the Taklamakan Desert, first reported by USNI News on Sunday. The two sites share similar characteristics and are aligned on a map with the carriers facing the same direction – as if in a convoy. Like the first, this new target shares the same dimensions as a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier.

Jeffrey F. Collins: Without plan for new submarines Canada faces defence gap in the Arctic

A Department of National Defence briefing note identifies the urgent need to “kick off without delay” a replacement project for the Royal Canadian Navy’s (RCN) four Victoria-class submarines. The British built vessels, acquired second hand in 1998 by the Chrétien government in a nearly $900 million lease-to-buy contract, are due to be retired or “paid off” 15 years from now, between 2036 and 2042 . At that point the submarines will be 50 years old.

Hawley: ‘Stop Using the Military as a Giant Social Experiment’

Hawley’s remarks about the country’s military preparedness come as the U.K. Royal Marines made quick work of U.S. troops during a training exercise.

“Well, they are probably wondering why it is the people like General Milley and Secretary Austin spend so much time recommending books on white rage, on Critical Race Theory and are not more focused on warfighting,” he said. “Here’s my view, Laura. We’ve got the best soldiers, airmen, marines in the entire world. Our soldiers are amazing warfighters. Let them fight. Train the tight. Let them do what they do best and stop using the military as a giant social experiment, which is what the left seems to want.”

This Hypersonic Weapon Will Change the Future of Warfare

The SRM is part of the Army’s Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) program and the Navy’s Conventional Prompt Strike weapon, two high-speed, long-range and precision-guided projectiles capable of traveling at more than five times the speed of sound on route to destroy a target. The SRM was a live-fire test, the second in a series of assessments intended to prepare to introduce unprecedented tactical advantages when it comes to high-speed, long-range precision strikes.

Mutiny, A Dem Coup, and TREASON

The revelations surrounding the actions of Joint-Chiefs Chairman, General Mark Milley are highly disturbing and describe the circumstances around which control of the United States Military was usurped from the rightfully elected President, still in office to a Senior Military Officer under advice from that President’s vehement political opponents. One would expect this type of narrative from a failed, third-world state, but no, it happened right here, in the most powerful nation in the history of mankind, with a massive nuclear arsenal in play and the Chain of command compromised.
