M1 & Bradley?

HIMARS for shaping in the adversary SA?

Armor and scheduled-for-de-milling US Army Long Range Fires aren’t anywhere close to primary US combat power elements.

If we’re not talking about USAF, USN, and USMC tactical air assets, then we’re not having a conversation about the primary US force structure.

Anything in US Army inventory is so many layers removed from a US FSCO force posture as to be an after-thought, where the Army Chief of Staff is jumping around behind all the real players trying to get a piece of the pie.

This is why US Army’s new budget involved so many longer-ranged missiles, while getting rid of that stupid Booker tank idea.

The difference is we occupied Berlin 1 year and 7 months later, after sweeping Germany out of North Africa.

Our North African campaign lasted from Nov 8, 1942, to May 13, 1943. Pretty swift, brutal, and decisive.

Russia hasn’t demonstrated anything like that over the past 3 years. It has been an embarrassing stalemate just looking at the map.

But you take the writings and false doctrine ideas of Constantine (who was not a Christian) to tell you who Jesus is?

Click to expand...

This statement leads me to believe that you do not understand church history or historical theology. Nowhere do I or what you might call nicene fathers embrace the writings or ideas of Constantine. Constantine was the emperor and called the bishops from across the Christian faith to come together and codify into writing at Nicea what had long been held and taught. The trinity didn’t somehow come out of his writings and again that statement shows you have a misunderstanding of history

Is there any “conspiracy theory” that has not turned out to be correct?

Then what about Genesis 1 where God says “let us make man in our image, after our likeness.”?

Click to expand...

(Sigh)
This is entirely self evident.
GOD created man in his image.
Body
Soul
Spirit
He created us in three parts.
Yes i understand that man has interpreted soul and spirit to be the same thing...despite the reality that YHWH is referred to as Father, Son, and Spirit.
Yeshua/Jesus has always been from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22. He is the Alpha and Omega.
He himself said He is the I Am. He said no man hath seen the Father. He said I and my Father are one. He said you have seen me, you have seen the Father. Despite their knowledge that Moses could not look upon the Father, they demanded that Jesus, show them the Father. This is what we are doing in this thread...right now. The only way any man can look upon the Father, is to look on Yeshua who IS the Body, the incarnation, of which scripture exhaustively bears witness to.
YHWH appeared to Abraham, sat down, broke bread, and ate with him. That was NOT the Father.

We don't understand these things because we don't know we don't even have a spirit, or if we do, it is dead. We are spiritually DEAD! The ONLY way we understand this, is to be spiritually "reborn" through the indwelling of the Holy Ghost, and "except the Spirit draw a man, he cannot be saved". I am not talking about baptism and speaking in tongues, not even going there. That is a whole nother discussion of "Jesus plus" heresy.
The Word is also exhaustive on the subject of our SPIRITUAL DEATH.
How could a three part being, understand they are three parts, if they were born 1/3rd part dead? You can't.
The ONLY way you even have a spirit, is by rebirth through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
Don't fret though....there is enough of him to go around, though few give Him full access.

The Word is sufficient for all these questions and answers. No new revelation is required NOR IS/WAS ONE GIVEN....TO ANYONE BEYOND John the revelator.

Understanding a 3 part single being is simple math.
Oh and one other thing. Just because you are a three part being doesn't mean one day you will be a god, or be like God, or attain divinity. Nor will you ever be an angel or anything other than you were created. Glorified, yes.
When we see Him, we will be like Him. That doesn't mean you will be a little god.

I really don't care that the man "suffered"

It wouldn't bother me to see every death sentence owner suffer as much and as long as the way they earned their death sentence.

Neither side wants to tick off the US, but we also have to be aware of Chinese and Russian interference.

Remember Yuri Bezmenov? He was stationed in India by the KGB as part of their ideological warfare efforts there. Indian media has been infiltrated and shaped by Russian IO for generations, because India is Russia’s largest FMS customer.



China didn’t like Trump supplanting legacy US-China trade deals with India, so the Pakis may very well be right in saying they didn’t execute the terrorist attack. That could have been a Chinese false flag operation giving attribution to Pakistan, so that India would retaliate and the predictable subsequent events happened to destabilize India and foreign investors for a bit.

We went from, “Yay, let’s move factories to India from China!” to,

“Woah, look at that fireball!"

It’s very Sun Tzu and requires almost no effort from China, with massive results in their favor.

Wall Street guys are painfully-ignorant about modern aerospace systems, but some invest in being briefed from a financial standpoint on where to buy and sell stocks. They have no way of vetting the information themselves because they aren’t technically-savvy, and have no real reps in studying the history of technical progression in that space.

Either way, the lessons learned the hard way by countries who only have access to 4th Gen will be continually-painful, and since hardly any of the legacy major FMS export countries invested in 5th gen tech, it places the US as a sole-source provider in the aerospace defense market for the technology.

The Euros window-dressed their 1970s designs for the past 40 years, and didn’t even go into IOC with them until the 2000s, same as F-22A. Instead of recognizing the massive disparity, they continued to lie to themselves about the relevance of 4.5 Gen with upgrades, downplay the 5th Gen advancements as “Lockheed marketing terms”, while deluding their air forces and customers into thinking they had something special. They even priced themselves at 2x of F-35A, which is insane.

This was 2019 (Russia has reduced its air forces inventory to 1200):



So now you have:

I. US manufacturing 5th Gen in high rates (1170 F-35s so far, 195 F-22s), 4.5 Gen finishing up or being upgraded to higher standards, going into 6th Gen fighter production and down-select for USAF and USN (F-47 and F/A-XX USN) and open stealth bomber production (B-21A)

II. China manufacturing J-20 5th Gen, 4.5 Gen Sino-Flankers, prototyping more 5th Gen (J-35) and their attempts at 6th Gen

III. France manufacturing 4.5 Gen at very low rate production (~300 made so far since 1986)

IV. UK/Germany/Italy/Spain manufacturing 4.5 Gen in low rate (609 since 1986)

V. Russia manufacturing imitation 5th Gen and 4.5 Gen at extremely low rates (Su-57 only ~38 airframes maybe, 151+ Su-35s)

The global military aerospace & defense sector has undergone dramatic shifts in reduction of mass production from the legacy countries who dominated that space, aside from the US.

China is actively focused on their own military strategy, so 5th Gen are prioritized to the PLAAF right now, not FMS. France got moved to 2nd-largest FMS exporter over Russia, only because Russia dropped its production numbers so significantly.

Remember Russia used to crank out MiGs by the thousands, and France cranked out Mirages by the thousands for FMS from the 1950s-1980s.

I’ll take the impact 4000

Oh no. The new primer slides are a much better mousetrap. That bronze bushing is so much better than the old roll pin and vacuum line tube.

The screw that retains the bushing just needed a little love.

Whenever you are ready to put aside the misinformation and hate propaganda you have been taught and are interested in knowing about the Truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, then you'll find some kind and caring members of our Church ready to meet with you and teach you and discuss and explain things with you.

Who knows, perhaps in time you'll find the Truth of the Restored Gospel and we'll be happy to welcome you into our congregation to join with us in the work of Gathering Israel and serving Jesus Christ.

Don’t worry I don’t need a Mormon elder to “explain” anything to me (the actual brainwashing). I have a Masters of Divinity and Doctoral work. I have studied these topics, read much literature (to include Mormon literature), and written pages and pages about it. There is no such thing as the “restored” gospel, just the gospel which Jesus gave and was taught through the apostles. I don’t need the writings of a 19th false prophet to know the truth
