The Lookout (Twitter)
It's been a while since my last longer article.
Have a new one out today:
"Russian Naval Activity in the coming months - Possibilities"
Here I look at what we might get to see in the coming weeks and months.

@HartreeFock: It's mostly just the freedom caucus really. The first Supplementals passed by massive margins in the House and they still do in the Senate. The bipartisan consensus continues to be sledgehammered by Biden's refusal to commit to a victory strategy.

@Chair_borne: They aren't though. They like to pretend, but Biden is obviously fundamentally unserious about it, and most Democrats won't vote for more defense spending without more non-defense as well.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Zero chance this happens.
The US Army only has 7 THAAD batteries. 1 permanently in Guam & 1 in South Korea. Likely at least 1 will be down for maintenance at any given time, so that just leaves 3 left (possibly 2 as I think one might already be deployed in EUCOM). https://twitter.com/Faytuks/status/1847341129060274316#m

@Endeavor4ever23 @HartreeFock: Oh really? No way! Biden said some stuff? That's great. If only there was some sort of President with the power to actually do these things.

RT @RepMikeTurner: Why has the Biden-Harris Administration failed to actively brief Congress about the movement of North Korean troops into Russia?
Today, I sent a letter to President Biden demanding that his administration give @HouseIntel answers and that the use of North Korean troops against Ukraine must be a red line for the United States and NATO.

RT @FRHoffmann1: Imagine instead of a redundant ground-launched cruise missile that offers limited added value compared to our air-launched cruise missiles, these countries pooled their money to develop and procure European short and medium-range ballistic missiles.
We could have a great time 🙃 https://twitter.com/PlJonson/status/1847295372340654371#m

🇺🇸🇩🇪🇯🇵 The US State Department has approved a possible Foreign Military Sale to Japan of 212 RIM-116E Block 2B Rolling Airframe Missiles (RAM), plus associated equipment and services for an estimated cost of $360 million.
RAM is a point defense missile against anti-ship missiles.
The prime contractor would be Raytheon; Germany's Diehl Defense is a cooperative program member.

@nutella__TR: An 8th Battery is being produced now and will be delivered next year but a 9th is not funded. The Biden Admin has not requested funds for it either in their base budgets or any of the 5 Supplementals.

@Endeavor4ever23 @HartreeFock: Been blocking? The 5th supplemental passed in April. Congress has literally never been an impediment to the drawdown of weapons to Ukraine. You clearly don't understand how any of this works.

According to “mon1tor_ua” Telegram channel, one Russian kamikaze drone of the Shahed type is flying towards Homiel region (Belarus) from Chernihiv region (Ukraine).
It’s reported that several more Shahed drones are following the same course in the direction of Kamaryn.

RT @solonko1648: Епізод з боїв у Гродівці. Бої від хати до хати. москалі накопичуються в гаражі і готуються штурмувати будинок в сусідньому дворі, де були наші солдати.
Дія в два етапи. Спочатку наш дрон залітає в гараж і викурює звідти орків. Вони виходять на подвір'я і тут прилітає 155 мм стрільно із відомої іноземної гармати. Окремо зацінили точність пострілу.

@Schizointel: This is insane. 6 Patriots. US has delivered 1 Patriot to Ukraine in the past 2.5 years; one excuse was US doesn’t have enough. Israel wants nearly a 1/3rd of USA’s 7 THAADs to intercept trash missiles with our 900 interceptors. And 2 aircraft carrier strike groups, this is crazy

@WW3finalboss @Faytuks: US has 7 THAADs with 900 interceptors. There is no reason for those any interceptors or batteries to be used in Israel againstes that miss by 150 to 1.4km. That will drain the stockpile made over 16 years very quickly. Those THAAD were made to defend USA’s most valuable assets around the world especially around China and in Europe. THAAD are one of USA’s main defenses against certain types of nuclear weapons. THAAD was made to protect USA’s most important bases not to replace Israel’s Arrow-3s.
The huge contradiction here is US will send whatever Israel wants while the US ties Ukraine’s hands behind their back for +2.5 years. But Israel has a lot of influence in the US Congress and Government and they’ll get whatever they want, F-35s, F-16s, F-15s, Patriots, THAAD, Blackhawk and Apache Helicopter, Aircraft Carriers ready to defend them, B-2s bombing their enemies, countless numbers of naval ships intercepting...
