Re: “It may be worth remembering that US marines, in origin and purpose, ride ships to foreign littorals, go ashore, and kill people. There was and is nothing defensive in their tradition and purpose.”

Ah! You raised such memories….

One of my favorite genres as a very young lad, not yet in puberty, was the british sea novel, of their dashing age looting the Spanish galleons and jousting with Frenchie Bony’s fleets and the pitiless southern suns (before the discovered the health benefits of limes).

One startling point I vividly recall was the serious hatred for their marines by the common limey sailor (himself often dragooned off the limey streets like UkroNazis today on the other nazi streets, to man ships for Napoleonic Wars).

These were seen as rank enemies on board. Traitors. Perhaps I can now say they were hated so, not merely for being outside of the proper chain of command and used by the elites to keep “the other rabble” on ship under control, but equally madmen liable to get them all killed on shore given their usual exploits?? iirc, the marines controlled both the rum and firearms. “Possession is nine-tenths of the law.”

So even at the height of the British Empire, the laborers, navy and workers reviled those marines, of their class yet used explicitly against them. And it takes a special kind of mindset and man to assume this role, hated universally, including by the very elites that breed and train them so.

So yeah, given the new mission of the US Air Force after Guernica, it made sense to isolate them from the Army, as Marines were from the usual Navy lads. This was as much for protection of the two madmen from the majority stormtroopers, who do not like those painting big fat retaliatory targets on the foreheads of the entire sorry lot

⭕ 🇷🇺🇺🇸 A “window of opportunity” opened in relations with the US, Russian ambassador says

While the US-Russia relations were “teetering on the brink of a rupture” under the previous administration, the work to restore them is already underway, new Russian Ambassador to the US Alexander Darchiev told media, including Sputnik, upon his arrival in the US.

Key issues on the way to the restoration of diplomatic relations between the two countries outlined by Darchiev:

• Normalization of the work of the Russian and US embassies;
• Elimination of the “toxic legacy” of the sanctions campaign against Russia;
• Returning confiscated Russian property;
• Resumption of direct air traffic between the two countries;
• Facilitation of visa procedures for ordinary Russians and Russian diplomats in the US;
• Simplification of the procedures for Russian citizens to travel within the US.

it is hopeless vanity, this eternal lust of the human and djinn devil elites “to be gods.”

They cannot live for ever – and who would want to on this harsh, vicious and protean dimension? They cannot control others forever – after every subservient generation, content with slavery for whatever reasons, eventually changes hearts and rises and overthrows the unworthy ruler.

So if not them, they leave the bitter cup of woe to their own offspring. And even now, they must ever live with the fear of revolt and a violent end, for violence flows like a spring back onto the violent.

I recall the words of Moshe Dayan, the one-eyed criminal-general of the zionazis from prior era – that they would make life for the Palestinian like a cockroach, scurrying from rock to rubble.

But this is exactly the life they, and all nazi elite grasping for eternal life and rule, brought upon themselves.

Who is the one running to the bunker hole daily now? And even in CONUS spending much time in mineshafts and underground cities, deathly fearful of Russian hypersonics and other gadgets of doom, deservedly enroute for their sea of crimes of aggression??

The most precious thing in life, after health and belief inside the hearts, is the contentedness that flows therefrom – bringing daily happiness, satisfaction with life, acceptance of what little, you’re given. Words from Father – of one of the Onassis women back in the day who tried to commit suicide and was asked why this wealthiest woman on earth tried this? “I am unhappy.”

The littlest ones in Gaza (and some 60-70% in Gaza are children) teach the fruits of lives lived with such humility and simplicity, which all the ancients, mystics, Sufis, and lovers of God exhorted to follow, and how it confers supernatural calm and endurance, even under the most bestial circumstance and satanic assaults witnessed in human history.

The Gazans grow stronger by the month, even as being annihilated en masse, whilst their tormentors in Zion and the combined West sink deeper into despair and unbearable loss.

It is literally the enemies’ “anti-civilization” that becomes more and more delegitimised and hated, even within by its own, whilst the Orthodox-Islamic renaissance shines forth brighter and brighter by the hour!

Truly the most free in our world live in Gaza or the Donbass today. Such is the paradox of the human experience on this dimension.

⭕ 🇨🇳🛰🇺🇸 China now has a “kill mesh” in orbit, according to the vice chief of the Space Force.

The United States is approaching a turning point in space security and must step up its efforts before Russia and China close the capability gap, a senior U.S. Space Force general said.

Vice Chief of Space Operations Gen. Michael Guetlein spoke at the 16th annual McAleese Defense Programs Conference, held Tuesday, March 18, in Arlington, Virginia, and warned that the Space Force needs to rethink how it defends the nation’s satellites.

This shift comes as China and Russia have stepped up demonstrations of their orbital warfare capabilities in recent years. Some of these incidents have been more high-profile than others, such as Russia’s 2022 anti-satellite test, which created a cloud of supersonic debris in low-Earth orbit. That same year, a Chinese satellite “seized” one of the country’s defunct satellites and towed it into a “graveyard orbit.”

China, in particular, is advancing its intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) technologies. “China’s ISR capabilities are becoming very capable. They have moved from what we used to call a ‘deadly chain’ to a ‘deadly mesh,’” he said, describing an integrated network that interweaves ISR satellites with weapons systems.
⭕ China remains the main global threat to the United States, but its closer cooperation with Russia, Iran, and North Korea is of growing concern, according to an annual U.S. intelligence report released Tuesday.

The West intentionally escalates global instability in regions like Africa, Ukraine, and beyond to benefit its own agenda, political philosopher and pan-Africanist Yamb Ntimba told Sputnik Africa.

“It’s like every 100 years, they [West] need a big war. They need a very, very important war to reset their countries and their people and their states. The problem is the world; the other people in the world don’t need this kind of mass killings,” he argued.

Despite the West’s aggressive tactics, Ntimba sees Russia’s response as one rooted in defense and ethical resistance. He praised Russia’s willingness to engage in negotiations while also strengthening its geopolitical position.

“Russia has been always open to negotiations, always been open to discussions, always been open to dialogue so that a serious solution should be found so that the world should remain in peace,” the political philosopher said.

He criticized the West’s strategy of using access to the Black Sea as a geopolitical tool against Russia, contending that such actions ultimately disadvantage developing nations.

“The Black Sea from an African viewpoint should be an open sea. The fact is [that] the Western world is taking advantage of everything to punish Russia. We understand that we don’t share that point of view; we don’t support that way of doing things,” the speaker said.

• He is known to be an outspoken Israel supporter;
• His early work with the National Conservative Political Action Committee involved supporting the election of conservative politicians in the 1980s;
• Bozell is the founder of the Media Research Center. The organization focuses on “exposing and countering the leftist bias of the national news media”;
• Bozell was previously nominated to head the US Agency for Global Media, but his nomination was eventually withdrawn;
• His son, Leo Brent Bozell IV, was one of the people who stormed the US Capitol in 2021 and was convicted and sentenced to four years in prison last year.

🔻 WS: Let’s ask Grok:

How many combat divisions are there, combined, in the US Army and US Marines? And what is the approximate head count in each division?

Answer:

Here’s the breakdown for the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps combat divisions as of March 25, 2025, based on their current organizational structures.

U.S. Army Combat Divisions
The U.S. Army has 10 active combat divisions. These are:

1st Armored Division
1st Cavalry Division (functions as an armored division)
1st Infantry Division
2nd Infantry Division
3rd Infantry Division
4th Infantry Division
7th Infantry Division
10th Mountain Division (light infantry)
82nd Airborne Division
101st Airborne Division (air assault)

The Army National Guard has additional divisions, but they’re not active-duty unless mobilized, so we’ll stick to the 10 active ones.

Approximate Head Count:

Army divisions vary by type:
Infantry (e.g., 10th Mountain): ~10,000–12,000
Armored (e.g., 1st Armored): ~14,000–15,000
Airborne/Air Assault (e.g., 82nd, 101st): ~12,000–14,000

Average is roughly 12,500 per division.

U.S. Marine Corps Combat Divisions

The Marine Corps has 3 active combat divisions:
1st Marine Division
2nd Marine Division
3rd Marine Division
The 4th Marine Division is a reserve unit, so it’s excluded from the active count here.

Approximate Head Count:

Marine divisions are typically larger and more flexible, averaging 15,000–18,000 personnel, depending on attachments and mission. Modern adjustments (e.g., Force Design 2030) lean toward a rough average of 16,500 per division.

Combined Total
Army: 10 divisions
Marines: 3 divisions
Total: 13 active combat divisions

Head Count Summary
Army Division: ~12,500 (10,000–15,000)
Marine Division: ~16,500 (15,000–18,000)

Rough Total Personnel
Army: 10 × 12,500 = ~125,000
Marines: 3 × 16,500 = ~49,500
Total: ~174,500 personnel across all 13 divisions.

These are ballpark figures—exact numbers shift with deployments and policy changes—but this reflects their current state.

‼️ Lucky Shot

As Armchair Warlord @ArmchairW noted a few days ago, a US destroyer’s “last line of defense” — its 20mm Gatling cannon — was called upon to defeat an incoming Yemeni anti-ship ballistic missile that the destroyer’s air defense missiles had failed to intercept.

They’re damn lucky they hit it.

Most of all, they’re damn lucky there weren’t three or four incoming instead of just one.

And bear in mind, we’re talking about whatever antiquated ASBMs the Yemeni have managed to beg, borrow, or steal over the years.

These are a far cry from front-line Iranian anti-ship missiles, and Chinese and Russian ASBMs are on another level altogether.

The Phalanx “CIWS” (Close-In Weapon System) can reportedly fire 4500 rounds per minute. But its magazine only contains 1550 rounds!

So a little over 20 seconds worth of firing time before its ammo is exhausted.

The longer “Operation Whack-A-Mole” against Yemen continues, the more likely a US warship is to get hit — which, if/when it happens, will finally open many eyes around the world that have hitherto been blind.

Tick tock …
🔻 Quandalf: If his son is on that destroyer heading for the Red Sea OFC he thinks they are invinsible.

🔻 WS: I don’t believe the thought ever even occurred to him prior to this afternoon.
🔻 Loose Cannon News: It’s normal for those who serve on such ships to harbor such beliefs when they have never had cause to doubt them.

But as you say saturation attacks can potentially overwhelm and exhaust air defenses if sustained for long enough.

Then, of course, there are hypersonics.
🔻 Cesare Borgia: The best case scenario is we get to exchange multiple 3 million dollar missiles to shoot down 30,000 drones.

That’s a difficult equation to maintain even if you can print money like we can.
⭕ ‼️ Sony Thang administering strong medicine to Scott Ritter, who continues to believe the mighty American military can disarm Iran via massive air strikes (including nuclear weapons).

As I have argued for a long time now, a US air campaign against Iran will expose American weakness, not reinforce the widespread mythology of untouchable American strength.
🔻 Scott Ritter:
Replying to @s_m_marandi
Witkoff admitted if a Russian tactical nuclear weapon was used in Ukraine the markets would crash.

Because of the fear of a larger US-Russian nuclear conflict.

It’s a different scenario with Iran.

No general life-ending nuclear war.

Just the end of Iran and our traditional understanding of speculation-based oil markets.

But the markets would adapt.
[so Scotty boy was threatening Prof Marandi now! Unbelievable. Cheap hustlers. Some academics aren’t as soft as they appear though. And our Thang intruded and helped clear the noxious air roiled up by the desperados, and Antagonists of All👇🏽]
🔻 Sony Thang: Scott, I see you’re still mistaking escalation for strategy and delusion for analysis.

You think the markets will “adapt” to a nuclear strike on Iran?

You think empire can simply “belt tighten” its way through Armageddon?

That’s not realism.

That’s imperial hubris dressed as game theory.

You speak like someone who’s never felt history close its jaws.

Let me tell you plainly:

If the U.S. uses nuclear weapons against Iran—even “tactical” ones—the spell breaks.

Forever.

The myth of Western restraint dies in the open.

The lie of rules-based order evaporates in radioactive dust.

What follows won’t be “market adaptation.”

It’ll be irreversible fragmentation.

China won’t wait to be next.

Russia will tighten its alliance with Tehran.

The Global South will turn its back for good.

And every nation not under Washington’s boot will know the truth: if you don’t arm yourself, you will be annihilated.

That’s not proliferation.

That’s inevitability.

You say, “Only one nation walks away.”

No, Scott.

No one walks away from nuclear war.

Not cleanly.

Not economically.

Not morally.

But let’s entertain your scenario.

Iran is wiped out. Oil hits $500 a barrel. The Strait of Hormuz is a graveyard.

The global economy implodes—not just Europe and Asia, but the dollar itself, because trust dies when empire burns its last moral pretense.

And here’s the part your Pentagon fantasies never compute:

It’s not just bombs that bring nations to their knees.

It’s legitimacy.

Once lost, never regained.

And the U.S.? Already staggering from endless wars—it won’t rise from the ashes of another charred country.

It’ll sink into them.

You claim you “assess the world as it is”?

Then look again.

The American empire is not ascending.

It’s cornered.

It’s flailing.

It’s threatening annihilation not out of strength, but fear.

Fear that the world it dominated is slipping away.

Fear that Iran refuses to kneel.

And fear that history, which you once claimed would hold America accountable, is no longer on your side.

So keep listing your bombers, your submarines, your low-yield fantasies.

Because beneath all that steel and strategy lies a single truth:

You’ve already lost the moral war.

And when that goes?

Everything else follows.

🔻 Liu Wei Ming: Scott the markets will take a decade to adapt and by then we will be in a deep recession. Inflation until the point of stagflation. Gas could reach $8/gallon. And if you believe Israel will go nuclear you should know the US will become a pariah cut off from the rest of the world
🔻 Scott Ritter: Lots of speculation here.

But assuming what you say is true, Iran still ceases to exist.

I’m trying to prevent that outcome.

🔻 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙂𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙋𝙤𝙙𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙩: How has this legendary air-power worked against mountainous Yemen (whcih just so happens to be the geographical center of gravity for the Houthis)?

Yemen: approx 40,000 sq miles of mountainous terrain (approx 20%).

Iran: approx 400,000 sq miles of mountains (almost 50%).

These are terrain swags favoring a low number, I suspect a proper cartographer of Iran would call it north of 65%.

Ukraine: Mountainous areas, primarily the Carpathian and Crimean Mountains, account for roughly 5% of Ukraine’s land area.

Invasions, even in the 21st century, find mountainous terrain a tremendous operational challenge.

If America uses nukes again, all bets are off for tactical employment by other countries that are armed in the same way.
🔻 Shukuru+: I attempted to talk wisdom into Scott… unfortunately he is a Marine and a Westpoint graduate and it is not easy to admit the weakness. Sony did a fabulous job, I couldn’t stop reading their debate.

Scott claims his position was from the analysis and assessment however it became more difficult for him to be impartial.

📜 A Former US Marine Corps Officer’s Analysis of the Ukraine War

☝️ i was rechecking on this older video. A year ago it was freely viewable. Now it requires you to sign in to view.. is it the same for you?

The only chance imperialists, always an abject minority, have against their sea of enemies is division. They cannot exterminate them all. So it is a stacked function, relying chiefly on deception and skullduggery. Consider after all the pressures ALREADY brought upon poor little Gaza, of holocaust, starvation, siege, AI targetting, dissemination of disease, destroying every livable structure, denying ability to fish and plant food, preventing their cowardly arab neighbors from coming to their aid, etc etc – they still require these gimmicks! That is why in all Scriptures, and in the worldly contempt of all the honorable, the worst and lowest station in hellfire is reserved for the Hypocrite. The traitor within who serves the external existential enemy. And the amazing prophesy coming to fruition in front of our eyes: the Islamic Prophet said with all mankind gathered against them, a small group of his nation would hold out regardless of odds, and that these would live around Al Quds (Jerusalem).

💠@ejmalrai:
⭕ Netanyahu’s triumph:

Benjamin Netanyahu, with an ICC arrest warrant for his war crimes, has solidified his grip on power until at least 2026 with the passage of Israel’s largest-ever budget, totaling $169 billion.

Under Israel’s Basic Law on the Budget, missing the deadline would have automatically triggered the dissolution of the Knesset and forced early elections. With the budget now passed, that legal threat has been removed. The only remaining mechanism that could topple Netanyahu’s government before October 2026 is a no-confidence vote from within his coalition. This scenario appears unlikely, as his bloc currently commands the support of 68 Knesset members.
⭕ At this point, nearly every speech or meeting by the current US admin includes a criticism of “Biden’s administration”—so routinely and predictably that it’s becoming repetitive and tiresome. The constant invocation feels less like political positioning and more like a worn-out reflex.
⭕ This morning, Israel bombed Jabaliya, Khan Younis and Rafah in Gaza, killing at least 14 people of which 7 children.
⭕ To all European leaders:
Europe should be the first to take a firm stand against Israel’s ongoing violations of international law and the collapse of the ceasefire in Gaza—not just on moral and legal grounds, but out of self-interest. While the United States pushes to “secure” the Red Sea to ensure the passage of Israeli merchandise, it is European taxpayers and economies that are ultimately expected to shoulder the cost of that military campaign and its fallout.

Instead of backing costly operations to force open shipping lanes, Europe should be asking a far more rational question: why not pressure Israel to end its siege, halt its military campaign, and stop ethnic cleansing and acts of genocide in Gaza? That would not only de-escalate the broader regional conflict but would come at a far lower cost—economically, politically, and morally.

Europe cannot continue funding the consequences of Israeli policy and US blind support to it while remaining silent on its root causes. If it truly values stability, law, and human rights, the most effective step is not military enforcement in the Red Sea—it’s confronting the source of the crisis and demanding accountability from Israel.

At 2 p.m., Waltz responded: “Typing too fast. The first target – their top missile guy – we had positive ID of him walking into his girlfriend’s building and it’s now collapsed.”
⭕ It looks like the US was planning to kill Yemeni Sayyed Abdel Malak al-Houthi but failed to do so.

I would say wearing down, and likely knocking a few holes in four aircraft carriers, is “a serious effort.”

“The American taxpayer needs to know: the billions of dollars that are being given to USAID – a fraction is making it to the people,” former African Union ambassador to the US Arikana Chihombori-Quao told Al Jazeera in a recent interview that went viral on X.

According to her, USAID was “using that open access sounding humanitarian to constantly destabilize governments.”

She stressed that the majority of African leaders and leaders in the developing world “are celebrating the exit of USAID.”

“If you think about it, their sole purpose, for example, is filling in the gaps in healthcare and education. Where is the change? Show me one country that USAID was in and education improved. Show me what country where USAID was in and healthcare improved?” Chihombori-Quao wondered. |media|
⭕ 🌍⛓️ Western neocolonial practices are still harming humanity, Russia’s foreign intelligence chief says

Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service Sergey Naryshkin recalled the Black Sea grain initiative, terminated in 2023, which was supposed to provide African nations with grain shipments from Ukraine, yet the continent received only 3% of that.

🇫🇷🇳🇪 Another example is France, which purchased uranium from Niger for 60 years at an unfairly low price of 80 cents per kilogram, the Russian official pointed out at a roundtable on the history of the struggle against colonialism.

“But once the French military contingent was withdrawn from that country last year, the price of uranium rose to a market price more than 200 times higher by the new government,” he emphasized.

💰 It would be fair to seek compensation for the damage done to all of humanity by the Western European colonial empires, Naryshkin said, adding that it is “necessary to create strong legal barriers to any new attempts to revive the system of colonialism.”

⭕ 🇷🇺💬🇺🇸Before the meeting in Riyadh it felt like the US wanted to put Russia and Ukraine in different rooms for shuttle diplomacy and issuing a single text – Lavrov.

⭕ ❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇾🇪 BREAKING: Last night, 3 B-2 ‘Spirit’ Stealth Bombers landed at Diego Garcia Airbase in the Indian Ocean, with 4 more B-2s expected to land today, marking an unprecedented number of 7 B-2s ready for missions in the Middle East

The B-2 ‘Spirit’ is an American long range heavy strategic bomber, featuring low observable stealth technology that enables it to penentrate areas with a high density of air defenses and radars without being detected easily. It is the only US aircraft in service that can carry large air-to-surface standoff weapons in stealth configuration.

Notably, the B-2 was used in the US bombing campaigns on Yugoslavia, Libya, Iraq, and Afghanistan, with its most recent operational use in October 2024, when the Biden administration bombed underground facilities belonging to the Houthis in Yemen. Never before have this many B-2s been gathered in one single forward operating base.

⭕ 🇵🇸 BEWARE: There are several protests happening against Hamas in the Gaza Strip currently, which is understandable due to the dire condition of the Palestinian people, and the unprecedented humanitarian situation.

However, the size and importance of these protests is being massively exaggerated, mostly by pro-Israeli media outlets, and it is being mindlessly copied, even by some neutral or pro-Resistance outlets.

Beware of unintentionally spreading the enemy narrative, and covering these protests only serves the interests of Israel and the United States, who seek to delegitimize the authorities in the Gaza Strip to annex it.
