🇷🇺 🇸🇩 🏴‍☠️ Russia pledges military support to Sudan's national army against their fight with RSF. Russia has begun setting up a naval base in Port Sudan in return. | Amhara News Service

🔶️ On a visit to Port Sudan in late April, Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Mikhail Bogdanov, pledged Russia’s support and recognition for Sudan’s military-led government.

🔶️ Flanked by the Minister of Mineral Resources, Bogdanov, speaking in Arabic, affirmed Russia’s recognition of "the Sudanese Sovereign Council as the official body representing the leadership of Sudan and Sudanese people".

🔶️ Russia has maintained neutrality throughout most of Sudan’s nearly 14-month conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

🔶️ However, a shift became evident in March of this year when Russia’s Deputy Permanent UN Representative, Anna Evstigneeva, acknowledged during Security Council discussions on the war that the Sudanese government was willing to work towards compromise and urged the "other party involved", implying the RSF, to put national interests over "personal aspirations".

🇺🇸 🇲🇽 ACLU to sue over Biden’s border executive order

🔶️ The American Civil Liberties Union announced plans to sue the White House over President Biden's new executive order that would close off access to asylum when border numbers surge.

🔶️ "We intend to sue. A ban on asylum is illegal just as it was when Trump unsuccessfully tried it," Lee Gelernt, who successfully argued a similar challenge under former President Trump, told Axios.

In the 1960s Nevada was a 92.3% White state with a rapidly growing population and a booming economy.

Ranching, mining, gambling, science, and tourism were making Nevada, and Nevadans, rich at record pace.

Today, Nevada is just 45.9% White and the state has entered a period of stagnation.

Nevada has the second highest unemployment rate of any state (behind only California), and a real median household income which has been stagnant since 2000.

Diversity has derailed Nevada.

"The Great Replacement in Nevada"

Before the passage of the 1965 immigration act the White population of Nevada was growing, increasingly wealthy, and on the path to building a strong ranching, mining, and tourism society from once barren desert.

Between the turn of the 20th century and 1960, the White population of Nevada increased in both number and share. By the 1960s Whites were 92.3% of the state population.

The White population continued to grow until the Reagan Amnesty, the 1965 immigration act, and mass illegal immigration served to inundate the state with both legal and illegal immigrants.

Today Nevada's immigrants comprise 20% of the state population, while non-Whites comprise the majority.

Whites have fallen to just 45.9% of Nevada's population.

Non-White violence dominates Nevada's schools, and economic stagnation defines the state's cities and towns.

Still, all is not lost.

A policy of actively non-citizens, fraudsters, and their children, could restore the White population of Nevada to a 57.1% share of the state's demographic pie.

🇺🇸 🇲🇽 New Base Protection Training Emphasizes Asymmetric Threats, ‘Homeland is Not a Sanctuary’

🔶️ U.S. military forces training and deploying from their bases and stations for a future conflict or crisis will likely face a growing variety of threats close to home. Base intruders, drone swarms, civilian protests, cyber hackers, disinformation campaigns, natural disasters or power outages all can disrupt or thwart unit training and unit deployments.

🔶️ Scripted, tabletop command-post exercises have long been the norm for annual base drills focused on anti-terrorism and force protection. But Marine Corps Installations-West officials in the Southwest have been shifting to the offensive, so to speak, to defend the home front.

🇨🇳 “We’re not dismissing that threat,” Laing said, “but what we’ve done is we’ve opened the aperture now. What is our ability to defend against a state actor through multiple domains that’s also tied to asymmetrical threats?”

⚡️ “The homeland is not a sanctuary,” Col. Philip Laing, MCI-West’s chief of staff at Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base, said in a recent interview.

🔶️ Last month Marine Corps Reserve personnel for the first time played the role of “enemy” or opposition forces through five days of unscripted free play during MCI-West region’s annual Semper Durus exercise. Adding operational forces to operational scenarios of I Marine Expeditionary Force and joint forces deploying and projecting power overseas marked “a significant change in the exercise design … and exercise objectives,” Laing said, noting “it forces you to think and fight a living, breathing adversary.”

🇷🇺 “So how do we support that effort … and how do we protect that?” he added. “How do we enable and protect power projection against a multi-faceted, multi-domain threat of a state adversary that’s also tied to an asymmetrical threat of opportunistic formations or parties that will take advantage? So that’s what is different this year.”

🔶️ They brainstormed and crafted scenarios, delving into their own military and civilian experiences to develop scenarios of “things that realistically could happen, with or without bad actors,” he added. Cutting electrical power to a camp, for example, “causes them their second and third order of effects” that base commanders then must immediately grapple with amid other missions. One scenario earlier that morning had a vehicle carrying hazardous materials crash by a base water treatment facility, raising questions about impacts to water safety and health.

🇺🇸 🇲🇽 📝 In all seriousness, an "Iron Dome" is the future of the US. Regardless of what your politics are, it would simply be a product of the time we live in. | CIG #commentary

🔶️ Current wars, terrorism and crime are showing off new weapon capabilities. It is only a matter of time until a hostile entity decides to make spectacle out of harassing the continental United States either with symbolic or saturation drone attacks. No worse case scenario with China/Russia necessary, it doesn't require state actors. And if it did escalate to that point, a missile shield wouldn't block massed hypersonic ICBMs entering from outer space, especially not an Iron-Dome like shield which is designed for "short-range" projectiles launched approximately 43 miles out. A US Iron Dome would be specifically for asymmetrical drone threats.

🔶️ The cartels in Mexico already commit mass murders and assassinations with drones. They've already used drones passively against the US border patrol for a decade. How long until they progress towards fixed wing FPV projectiles? In fact, moving hardware or at least blueprints for such designs would provoke unilateral US actions without warning. The precedent of this would be the 1914 US invasion of Mexico's Vera Cruz port awaiting alledged German arms shipments for possible use against the US during WWI.

🔶️ Rival powers opposed to the US have months, even years of experience with the US systems that would be used for interceptions. Simply by virtue of wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. The lesson they learned is that even if all drones are intercepted, they're still able to deny key chokepoints. Possibly sealanes in proximity to the US, perhaps the Panama Canal, the Gulf of Mexico route to the Mississippi, St. Lawrence River/Gulf with submerged drones, cargo ships with discreetly containerized launch systems? Again, they may seek a symbolic strike even in uninhabited areas to play into fears of the general public rather than successfully carrying out a mass atrocity against civilians.

🔶️ Aside from rival powers, keep in mind there's an entire Global South of militant factions with axes to grind against the US that may be supplied and guided by hostile powers. This is a very real emerging threat that should be taken into account in the coming years. The proof is in the combat medals awarded to sailors in the Red Sea. This is not strictly just for the US, all developed and developing nations may find themselves in a global arms race to protect themselves from new militantism.

🔶️ So, for a million-dollar, perhaps billion-dollar idea, it's not a bad one. The big R&D game right now is finding ways to counter drone swarms. The main concern should be, will it work? Nobody can say for sure.

🇺🇸 🇲🇽 Biden Announces New Actions to Secure the Border

📖 President Biden believes we must secure our border. That is why today, he announced executive actions to bar migrants who cross our Southern border unlawfully from receiving asylum. These actions will be in effect when high levels of encounters at the Southern Border exceed our ability to deliver timely consequences, as is the case today. They will make it easier for immigration officers to remove those without a lawful basis to remain and reduce the burden on our Border Patrol agents.

📢 The Biden-Harris Administration’s executive actions will:

🔶️ Bar Migrants Who Cross the Southern Border Unlawfully From Receiving Asylum

🔶️ Recent Actions to secure our border and address our broken immigration system:

🔶️ Strengthening the Asylum Screening Process

🔶️ Revoked visas of CEOs and government officials who profit from migrants coming to the U.S. unlawfully

🔶️ Expanded Efforts to Dismantle Human Smuggling and Support Immigration Prosecutions

🔶️ Seizing Fentanyl at our Border
