Hi All, just released my weekend update (free as always). It starts with an overall ups due on the past, present and indeed future of the war as given by SACEUR, General Cavoli. He ranged widely in testimony to the US Senate. https://open.substack.com/pub/phillipspobrien/p/weekend-update-127-cavoli-testifies?r=1tgexa&utm_medium=ios

Libya exhibited the big gaps in Europe's military capability and those are being slowly addressed.

No one in the world now wants to be reliant on US tech and we are going to see a massive resurgence in National and regional miltech development and production at US expense.
1. More Chinatech in YOUR friendly skies as nature abhors a vacuum on markets and production capacity .
2. Proactive work to counter and neutralise US 5th gen advantages.
3. US defence industry wobble but probs not collapse as its external markets dry up.
I came away with tremendous respect for Cavoli. (& Langley)
Intelligence is needed. Mostly for long ranged precision attacks.
But, missile defence is totally dependent on USA deliveries.
(Rest of POB substack, as almost usual, spot on. Ty Sir)
So long - and thanks for all the fish
that war economy will self perpetuate until the wheels burn off in bits of pot metal alloy and
maybe destroying world trade will have unintended consequences...
#RussiaIsATerroristState committing a full-scale genocide in plain sight.
It is our duty towards Humanity to help 🇺🇦 win the war.
Whatever victory takes, right now 🔥
