A "Broken China" ping.


If you want on or off the ping list send me a FReepMail.

OK, as promised, more bad news for the PRC in general and the CCP and People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) in particular, all brought to you by UKRAINE.

Over the past several weeks Ukraine has been staging long range attacks into Russia targeting logistics hubs and IL-76 transport planes. This is why the west has been hesitant to give Ukraine certain bits of high tech kit. Only Ukraine hasn't been using western military equipment. They have been using home-brew weapons made primarily of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) CHINESE drone technology they purchased on the open market.

Ukraine has had some spectacular success with drones, both air and surface, against the Russian Navy. Specifically using an aerial drone to distract the Slava so that it didn't intercept the Harpoonski missiles that killed it. They have used naval surface drones against the Kerch strait bridge, Sevastopol harbor, and military & military-contracted ships at sea.

I can hear you all now, "OK, LP, I can see how this is bad news for Russia but how is it bad news for China?" Glad you asked.

It is bad news for China because the US Navy has been watching this and figured a relatively cheap way to gut the PLAN like a fish should they ever decide to have a go at Taiwan. Deputy Secretary of Defense, Kathleen Kicks, has announced the "Replicator Initiative." This is a US Navy project that will over the next 18-24 months build several thousand relatively cheap drones capable of neutering the PLAN whether in-port or at sea. The kicker is that they announced that they will be using almost exclusively COTS Chinese drone technology.

This puts the CCP in a bit of a bind. Do they stop the rather lucrative export of drone technology, further hurting an already ailing economy or do they just ensure that the US Navy, that they already can't beat, can destroy them with their own technology and do it on the cheap?

As Stalin famously commented, "Quantity has a quality all its own."

I came across that video a few weeks back. If the date on it is true, I had a great gift on an otherwise crappy year.

Toss in a personal reference to the number 17 as icing on the cake, and it was truly a gift from God.

I’d love to explain, but you’ll have to wait for the movie...

Is that Hillary in the morgue or coming out of an adrenochrome infusion?

Rosanne just did an interview where she said a photographer asked her to do the ok sign over the eye thing and she did it. She didn’t know at the time what it meant. She said it happens a lot, but most of them do go over to the dark side anyway.

Been watching this happen: So the chicoms, who give double dealing dirtbags a bad name, are selling actual working drones to the Ukes, who in turn, are using the drones to smack the chicom’s best buds, Ivan and friends, right in the krapital?

It has to produce at least a bit of a grin to realize the chicoms are such a greedy bunch of scumbagz that they would undercut their own birdsoffeather commies in exchange for a few counterfeit yuans. Or maybe they really need the grain? But what’s honor to a commie?

I suspect the 9/11/15 collapse, and toss into a waiting van, was due to withdrawal from adrenochrome.

Re Cabal photographs of celebs:

I’m sure that’s true. Maybe they pay photographers to get that shot?
