Andrew Marshall, famously never had an effect on American defense policy, go ahead and close his shop down.

1) I'm past snark. Any who're thinking this is just incompetence miss the point. This is a deliberate undoing of the defenses of the US, just as it's a deliberate dismantling of the US government.

There's a point to this. It's not random. As to your skeet, if

2) you're busy sawing the country into teensy-tiny pieces, why....no. You don't "need an office for long term strategic analysis."

What would be the point?

Agree 100% There's more than buffoonery at work. This is active and deliberate treason.

1) That's not quite accurate. Project 2025 is notable for its well-thought out attention to detail, but its genesis was well before Reagan, the difference being that such ideas in the early '60's were dismissed as arrant nonsense, and were seen as a possible tool by Reagan.

2) If you research Goldwater's campaign in '64, you'll find this quote:

“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand

3) compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.”

Trump is unconstrained by either morals or principle, except self-enrichment. Reagan came from a different

You could convert all that office space at the Pentagon to a bitchin bar. We could name it Pete's and only serve Jaegermeister or Russia Vodka.

Who needs strategy when we got Hegseth doing push-ups with the 82nd?

For those not immediately clear on this (I guessed right but I did see this post first) https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/4119924/secretary-of-defense-directs-restructuring-of-the-office-of-net-assessment-to-a/

I visualize Hegseth dictating this rubbish to his "crusader" buds in a white supremacist bar while too drunk to stand - that's the DoD trump has built

Did you just get fired?

tobellz.bsky.social•71 days ago

Hegseth closed down the Pentagon's "Net Assessment" team. Probably some women and black people in there doing amazing work and showing him up.

HE WHAT

tobellz.bsky.social•71 days ago

Just the normal kind of you do when you're a television model suddenly put in charge of the Pentagon.

dxmnkd316.bsky.social•71 days ago

I remember when I interviewed with NAVAIR, they talked about the dept that studies and attempts to model aspects of naval & aerial warfare out a century. It was never right but it was important to game out because it did impact design decisions made with a 10-30 yr horizon

Terminally incompetent WH

dxmnkd316.bsky.social•71 days ago

I didn't get the job I interviewed for, but the modeling team called me like two months later and asked me to interview

I had already accepted an offer and was a month and a half into my other job.

What a different life I would have lived.

I hate that he wears the Rakkasan crest (my unit, a long time ago). Although, to be fair, he excuses Rakkasan E4 mafia vibes. I’m surprised he hasn’t spray painted the Rakkasan Tory on the side of the Pentagon.

landlockedtuna.bsky.social•71 days ago

Japan got spanked by the Soviets at Khalkhin Gol and instead of investing in mechanized units they scrapped the 1 they did have and went with warrior ethos as a strategy. I can’t remember how it turned out for em tho, didn’t finish the book

lmt7.bsky.social•65 days ago

To be fair to them

1. They didn't had enough fuel for tank armies

2. There weren't any tank armies besides USSR which just became quasi ally do to Molotow-Ribentrop pact

3. The tanks they did have did fabulously in rolling UK all the way to India...

Reaching 1944 Wehrmacht planning.

militantnerd.bsky.social•71 days ago

Considering it was an office of LONG TERM analysis, it's more like 1940 Wehrmacht planning.

matus3000.bsky.social•71 days ago

But then comparision wont work. 1940 had pretty good plans.

militantnerd.bsky.social•71 days ago

Yes, "ride into the Soviet Union and stop at A-A line" was a genius plan.

lmt7.bsky.social•65 days ago

To be fair to them, OKH had too few staff, and they were Natzis.

Plus they discarded 3 most important inputs

1. Info from logistics that there would be no way to provide logistics all the way to Moscov

2. Intel aout the size of Red Army reserves

3. Hitler directives to go for oild fields of Baku
