The Hird - USA’s Post

-- Sergei Karaganov (honorary chairman, Council on Foreign and Defence Policy) "[...] the systemic crisis of modern global capitalism, which has lost its moral foundations and is now based on the endless growth of consumption and the destruction of the planet, is leading the world to a big war. This threat surfaced clearly in 2008. [...] This will only get worse in the foreseeable future. Each new call by Western leaders is more stupid, more reckless and more ideological than the previous one -- and this makes it more dangerous for the world as a whole. I don’t see yet a way to [prevent this] without awakening in the West and in the world elites in general a sense of self-preservation -- except through an increase in the nuclear threat. Hopefully, without implementing it to the end. But the enemy must know about the unconditional readiness of our leadership and society to take this step in case of emergency. [...] Humanity is faced with an existential task -- to prevent the catastrophe that is inexorably approaching on the horizon of the next decade, a 3rd world war, forcing the West, primarily the United States, to retreat and adapt to the new reality. And for this the West must force its "deep states" to update the leadership elites, whose low quality does not meet the challenges that humanity faces." By far one of the most lucid, honest and straightforward pieces of geopolitical analysis to come out in a while. Must read.

What is the strength of the West in war? Since World War II, at least a part of the strength was in the advantages provided by technology: better trucks, tanks, aircraft, submarines, aircraft carriers, nuclear weapons, etc. That better technology (along with better discipline, training, leadership, etc.) gave Western forces an off-set against the numerical superiority in manpower possessed by opponents. This article/interview challenges the notion of such an advantage. Obviously, the person being interviewed has a vested interest in expressing Russian corporate capabilities as he is the general director of Rostec (think Lockheed-Martin as a sort of equivalent (my apologies to Lockheed-Martin for the comparison)). Regardless, he makes some good points. 1. Russia is working hard to produce the material for war including massive increases in output. 2. The Russian and American systems are different and therefore what is an appropriate piece of equipment for the system will be different as well. 3. "It is impossible to defeat Russia." This is historically untrue, however, it is something that is believed in Russia and that is important. The more the fighting in Ukraine is attritional the more important Rostec's comparative output advantage is to this war. While I preach narrative war all the time and to everyone that doesn't mean that stuff isn't important. Narrative war includes words-deeds-images. The words of impossible to defeat Russia combined with the deeds of a x50 increase in Russian artillery shell production along with the images of smoking Western equipment all work together to create a story that can win a war. https://lnkd.in/ggnBvi9i The translation tool is needed, and it works well enough.

For decades, the US government has classified hundreds of UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) sightings. However, with the passage of the UAP Disclosure Act, a new era in UAP investigation is about to begin. What implications will the new law have for our understanding of UAPs and their origins?

United States Special Operations Command’s (USSOCOM, SOF AT&L Acquisition Executive) Directorate of Science and Technology (S&T) Futures and UK Strategic Command (UKStratCom) seek to develop concepts under the theme, Smart Cities: Future Challenges for Special Operations Forces (SOF). The event seeks to explore the challenges of physical and remote SOF operations in a range of future complex smart cities scenarios. In support of those efforts, a Rapid Capability Assessment (RCA) will be conducted on the 16th – 20th of September 2024 in the UK and will require full-time participation (~0830-1700 UTC each day) from successful applicants. RCA15 aims to support and inform the next step in the USSOCOM S&T Futures and UKStratCom process. During this event, selected concepts from early stages, will be developed further into concept capabilities. A group of experts from industry, academia, and defense will develop potential capability solutions that include market research of possible technology partners, a subsystem-level architectural breakdown, and a technology development roadmap. The teams will also generate initial Work Breakdown Structures and potential contract language to support follow-on capability definition. https://lnkd.in/eagyrZTP

The slow adoption of new technology by the Department of Defense and other government agencies, as well as the significant investment in new space programs amid ongoing operational challenges, can be attributed to various factors. These include bureaucratic processes, stringent regulations, security concerns, budget constraints, and the need to thoroughly test and validate new technologies before widespread deployment to ensure effectiveness and security. Additionally, prioritizing funding for space programs over immediate operational needs may be a strategic decision based on long-term national defense priorities and interests. Serastar Technologies' solutions aim to address these challenges by offering modernized tactical and global networks that can revolutionize command and control capabilities for the DOD, First Responders, and civilian sectors. By providing a comprehensive network infrastructure that seamlessly connects boots on the ground to higher command levels and operates globally, Serastar Technologies presents a unique and essential service in the market. The company's bold assertion of being the only one capable of delivering such comprehensive solutions underscores their confidence in their innovative technologies and strategic vision for enhancing operational efficiency and effectiveness. Acknowledging NATO's invitation to showcase Serastar's capabilities, Serastar Technologies expresses gratitude for the opportunity to demonstrate how their advanced network solutions can benefit military and civilian operations alike, offering a glimpse into a future where communication and connectivity play a pivotal role in ensuring mission success and overall security. #Technology #Defense #Innovation #CommandAndControl #DOD #NATO #wejustmakethemwork United States Department of Defense NATO DIANA Fernando Monarrez Catherine Twilley

The US is stepping up to address China's Military-Civil Fusion (MCF) strategy, which blurs the lines between civilian and military technology development. This means companies involved in China's tech boom could be flagged for potential military applications. New US regulations aim to track and potentially restrict these companies. But what does this mean for businesses and trade? Will it slow down innovation or create a more secure tech landscape? WireScreen's Larry Sussman explains this evolving situation and how it might impact the global tech scene! #MCF #techsecurity #USChinarelations #China

A good reminder that #insiderthreats can occur anytime, anywhere: “From 2014 through 2022, Gong submitted multiple applications for so-called "talent programs run by the Chinese government while being employed by several major U.S. technology companies and one of the world's largest defense contractors.” #us #china #espionage #threatvulnerabilitymanagement #threatlandscape #tech #secrets #insiderrisk #insiderthreat RedVector Networks https://lnkd.in/ey5pUuHC

Joseph Kesser, Siemens Operation team and Manfried Schloze notify them and invoke a true examination of what It is going on behind encrypted reality. He will invoke Jamadiats to bring back information from universes: بلد صحف اعمال Tell Siemens and local companies their services transcends the boundaries of providing industrial solutions. Contact global authorities to understand how a landlord system works. I mean how things are madoned so you can be an effective owner of the entities for every. Siemens international team was leading the whole commercials and industrial activities globally even on the territorial scale. Siemens Saudi Arabia controls the Saudi economy fully and probably it is the law globally. Now their team operated global politics and universal realities. They planned the Arab spring and everything since 2010. It is not a human work what they provide since their creations as an entity and their companies alike globally. They even built the military equipment for most powerful armies in the way things are constructed including here Space X. There is a dialogue involves a lot of anger and blaming between an operation manager from Germany and Orlando team. They need to legalize eveything to understand how copies of their models emerged in the world and why. Not because you pay they did it but because they were not there living. https://lnkd.in/d7thMUc9 Netflix like persuasion and diplomat was something they contributed to. Siemens which I know runs the universes because Allah allowed them to do so. Now they use one fact Allah made me do so. I am always the same person but this time I speak not muted. They will never provide such excellency and expertise to build their models and industrial detbitives globally. These things are not for sale. If somone claim that Siemens was paid so they built for you the whole industrial world with their international partners like GE and other companies then you are liable by the law to explain you are deattached from reality. America is full of people who do not walk really there and they never approved such exhanage of excellency for you proclaimed justification and false belief that it is doable as a human ability, That exceeds the achievements record of past people in abilities. America and its derivatives are miracles of Allah Note: Mohamed Turkey Siemens Saudis Arabia might have commented on his behalf an automated network Impossible somone built Arabia for money and thus Iraq is not able to copy us. Ask global team to assess the industrial completed and operated indistral projects. They are blind
