And what Patraeus means is that Combined Arms as we know it . As drones become more specialized, especially in the sea, air and land department there is going to be combined arms, just not like we’ve seen.


Air dominance still matters a LOT. Iran was able to break a lot but not actually hit precisely enough. There is no such thing as the ability to build up troop concentration with the advent of Satellite surveillance. So, nothing new there. Small movements at the front are now more transparent. Ukraine is the poor man's war with both Russia and Ukraine trying to do everything on the cheap because neither can afford to do what large economic powers can
Russia sure didn't seem to get how to use combined arms in 2022. Ukraine never had the airpower to attempt it

So yes you are correct. Petraeus stated the obvious and may have well stated that he was talking through his mouth.

Is Mitch even considered a Democrat in 2026? He is probably way to moderate to even have a chance for those crazies


He was the first politician to declare himself woke. He wanted to lead the crazies but didn't get any traction at all. Walt Isaacson was and likely still is his advisor.
The first sorta white politician to publicly state he was woke.
You must have been shrooming out.

He was the only candidate in the 2012 who understood the significance that hydraulic fracturing was going to make especially in chemicals manufacturing. Bachman was all about building new refineries and permitting the scam refinery which never applied for anything in ND. Newtron wouldn't have run without the 100% backing of Big Ethanol.

Iran is a little to busy at the moment to keep doing those things. Bombing the shite out of Iran is actually hurting Russian drone manufacturing at the same time.



Despite the claims of that ONE poster that Trump threw Moscow an economic lifeline, ZERO impact on helping the Russian economy. Many are not paying their bills.

How could Jeb! be a Neocon, he was never anything but a governor.

Go look at most farmhouses that are still being lived in today.


Yes, because the farmer added rooms as the family grew. Most started out as one bedroom one bath and that would have been on a rice farm with government subsidizing via buying most of the rice to give away overseas.

Interesting is a friend who was born into a timber baron family. They did have a summer home on a lake due no central AC. The home was 2 BR 1 bath then 3 BR 1 bath, then 4 BR, 3 bath over several decades to become 4000 sq ft. No one wanted the land when they first obtained it due no highways or even country roads to get to it.

I thought the people down the street with the 1700 square foot home, as opposed to the 1165 sf home that we lived in, were rich, but I never thought of us as poor. Even so, my parents sent us to college and sacrificed for it.


The home I live in was built for the plant manager at Exxon Baton Rouge. Three Bedroom, 1 bath, Central heat but originally window AC, in 1958. Plant managers got huge bonuses back then large enough to fund a car or boat dealership.
But for a major error by our forefathers he should have been born in Africa

My current stupid idea is a crude pipeline crossing the northern end of the UAE peninsula just north of Dubai.


There used to be one. It's long been abandoned. You do understand that it would take tankers to shuttle oil from Qatar, Kuwait and Iraq with a giant terminal and MULTIPLE pipelines to pump that much oil. All of that costs real money and adds to cost of oil at least $20 per barrel if not more.

The US Navy controls every piece of ocean in the world. Therefore, it controls world trade. Ever heard of the petrodollar? It is the price that is paid for safe passage thereof.



Item #1 is correct but not eveywhere in the world.
#2 is a misnomer that numbnuts perpetuate. There is more US currency available in the world, no ohter nation can be the "world currency" On trade imbalance other nations are forced to buy Treasury Bonds. It doesn't matter whether oil or cow manure,
Item #3 is null and void due the first two
the US controls a large chunk but not even close to half of oil.

And yet, we still import...


That statement was a half truth in a few ways.

There is a lot of tight shale oil in California but it is in high silica content shale and require hydrofluoric acid to fracture. The owner of Venoco, a major Obama/Jerry Brown bundler secured the leases for several major then went belly up when it didn't work, They were able to get all off the permits they needed.

1 trillion barrels of actual shale oil exists in the Rockies mostly in Colorado. The rock has to be mined like coal then pulverized before placed in a retort to extract it to refine it. I personally put my hands on the only refinery that used it. Subsidies by the government makes that commercially viable. BTW, that refinery was laying in Houston in 2011 after being dismantled in Colorado. Occidental built it decades ago. 20,000 BPD is all. Oh, it takes a lot of water and the Colorado River would all but run dry leaving Vegas along with much of CA and AZ without water.

A lot of this new tight shale oil can only be called crude because of congressional action to ban its export in the 1970's Technically it is condensate though now legally called oil. It takes more energy and larger crude units to refine it. Any refinery switching to only this source would be bankrupt in a year due lost production of around 30%.

One more thing, there is a lot of tight shale would should be able to be produced in Nevada, but it is 30,000 or see feet deep If you want $10 per gallon gasoline it is commercially viable.

So yes there are even more "recoverable" barrels that this clueless post but it comes a big $ cost.

The Iranian parliament has no power. All power is now in the IRGC.
There is a struggle for power within the IRGC. The US blockade has not stopped. Let that infection fester and rot them from within.

I vote on election day at around 10 AM EVERY election. You are dead arse wrong on both counts. Now are you smart enough to figure that out?

Did you vote for Col Madness in 2014 who didn't win a single precinct in his own backyard chock full of military retirees? That dude is a bigger liar than Cassidy ever was.
