USAF Admits Air Supremacy Now Impossible

USAF Chief of Staff says that, Ukraine has shown, that it may be impossible to achieve Air Supremacy in a future near-peer or even regional conflict. But it may still be feasible to achieve Air Superiority sometimes somewhere for a limited time, by synchronizing cyber and EW effects. "Can't do Air Superiority for fun."

Almost 2 years later, USAF finally admits the truth. That Air Supremacy is but a dream now.

They still believe that Air Superiority is feasible. The Fighter Mafia still rules supreme.

On American Military and "Extremism"

Bruce Hoffman describes the extremists infiltrating the US military to obtain training, the insider threat sabotaging military, and the veterans who join extremist groups, insurgents, or commit suicides. However, Hoffman did not have any solutions other than "no Stand-downs".

Hoffman is stupid. Mostly, because he misunderstand the problem. As a note to all analysts, describing the problem is the first and most important step to any analysis.

There are 2 problems here, basically. In a People's Army, such as US military aspires to be, loyalty to the political system depends on the political system's loyalty to the People. Loyalty, after all, is a two-way street. Women and Gamma often do not understand this, believing that the abstracted political regime (or any institution, really) is and always will be. But no. If veterans, who did not start out radicalized, then radicalized during or after service, then that is a primary indicator of political failure, of regime corruption. A veteran, with his intimate experience of a government system, like the US military, understands, at a visceral level, how (at least a part of) the government is supposed to work. For him to then lose faith in the regime, means that he thinks the system is failing. At the very least, that the system is not returning his former loyalty.

The other problem, infiltration and sabotage, is self-limiting, or supposedly so. A major benefit of a People's Army, is that it would take care of the sabotage problem for you, naturally. The People, who staff the Army, loves the Institution. So they readily detect any deviation in loyalty, aka the Insider Threat. They will readily report and respond to insider threat without external pressures. The moment they stop dealing with Insider Threats, is when the People stop having faith in the political system. When there has to be a Commissar system, or to "educate" the soldiers about the political system, is when you know the regime is in trouble. (Or that it has ceased to be a People's Army.)

So, the fact that people want to talk about the supposed "extremist infiltration" problem, is an indicator that these people know they no longer has the loyalty of a large chunk of The People. Which is just another signpost to the Fall of Pax Americana.

(For the problem of monetary corruption, that soldiers take money to divert weapons etc to the black market or etc. That is likely more of a cultural / ethnic problem, that they think money is more important than loyalty.)

India, BJP, and Ayodhya Temple

BJP, and Modi, will inaugurate the incomplete Ayodhya Temple on Jan 22. And a brief history of the Ayodhya site and BJP Hindu nationalism.

India and BJP is a fascinating case study of how fascism and nationalism can flourish without any serious external triggers or pressures. It perfectly demonstrates that Enlightenment #Diversity policies, such as Affirmative Action, can on their own trigger nationalism. It somehow mirrors the rise of European Nation-States on the back of the Enlightenment.

This continues my projection of India becoming the first fascist communism state. It is funny that so many analysts continues to posit India as the future of the world. Why America is allying with the racist regime of India, just further illustrates the idiocy and bankruptcy of the American foreign policy "elite", and how desperate the strategic situation is for America.

And the Indian Muslims. It is high past time for you to to ethnically cleanse yourselves to Jammu-Kashmir or Pakistan / Bangladesh. Staying in India is manifestly stupid. Congress Party is not coming back, Gandhi-ian delusions notwithstanding. And Sikhs, you are next. BJP is already killing Sikhs abroad. (Pissing off BJP is about the only reason one should vote for Nikki Hayley.)

PS: And this is yet another nail in the coffin of the Parliamentary system. So many "Democracy experts" love the Parliamentary system, believing it to be oh so superior to the American Presidential system. But in the end, it is just another form of Democracy. Democracy will always be a reflection of the People. If the People are smart and rational, then Democracy can be smart and rational, too. But just because it worked for the Puritans, doesn't mean that Democracy can work for everyone. As Vox Day says, #MPAI most people are idiots, and most people are emotional.

2nd Myanmar Ceasefire Collapsed In One Day

Current Myanmar civil war status. A Chinese-negotiated ceasefire collapsed within a day. Analysts surprised at the ability of the insurgents to conduct large-scale operations.

American favorability trashed by Israel

Richard Stengel laments that Israel is ruining American favorability, which Biden had rescued from Trump ravage.

Stengel is stupid. Chasing favorability is a doomed exercise, always.
