Long-running mechanical, faulty metallic alloys in the Prop-Rotor Gear Box and lack of synergy between the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps have compounded the V-22 Osprey’s troubles. Faulty parts, inconsistent communication of safety and hazard risks from the Joint Program Office, and poor coordination between the U.S. Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force, […]

— Open Source Intel (@Osint613) December 12, 2025 Does anyone know what kicked off the fighting here? I thought it was just border clashes but it looks like the Thai Army is going full tilt boogie now.
Between this, the RSF and Burko whatever in Africa running wild, to even ISIS attacking our guys in Syria and of course Ukraine/Russia plus China continuing to push things against Taiwan that we could easily be in a multi-front war in the next few years.
Have to wonder how that'll workout.
I know the US will, or at least want to , prioritize Taiwan.  The Europeans have made noise (well actually just the UK and sometimes France) about supporting us there but I seriously doubt it.
Ukraine doesn't seem to want an end to the fighting so that will rage and no one seems to give a damn about the persecution of Christians in Africa by the Muslim horde and everyone (with sense) wants to wash their hands of the Syria mess.
I think it'll break down like the latest security assessment called for.  Until they cross the line Ukraine will prioritized at the expense of all else.  SOCOM will have a playground in Africa and Syria (but they will need MASSIVE conventional support).  The Navy will continue to play the flex role of supporting SOCOM more and more in Africa and Syria, along with the USAF.  The 82nd and 101st will probably be tasked with helping SOCOM too.
Drawdown of Army forces in Europe will be delayed (cause everyone in power was once a Russia expert and that's the fight they WANT) with the USAF getting stretched to support a mission there.
China will see their chance and make a move on Taiwan before the next presidential election and that will change the world.  WE MIGHT hold onto it by our fingernails but we'll see the destruction of many ships, a few MLRs and a multitude of aircraft.
I think things are lining up for shit to get nasty in the next few years.  Oh and notice that while the Thailand/Cambodia thing rages it wasn't even listed?  That leaves out another flair up between Pakistan/India, China/India, Pakistan/Iran and of course Israel and damn near the entire Middle East.

 

Huge SHOCK to LONDON: RUSSIA Captured Fighters of the UK’s Elite Special Air Service (SAS) in SUMY

It’s worth noting the unique operation of the Russian spetsnaz behind enemy lines in the Sumy region. In particular, near the village of ‘Sadki’, Russian spetsnaz wiped out a group… pic.twitter.com/JLiJGszwIy

— SlavicFreeSpirit (@SlavFreeSpirit) December 13, 2025 I watch the war in Ukraine and you know who would be perfect there and are the only Special Ops Outfit that does the work? US Army Special Forces. They're force multipliers capable of organizing and leading (wink wink) allied or factional forces against outside threats or internal threats to nations friendly to us.
Having said all that I'm glad (hoping) they're not there.
What has me spinning is why would the UK waste their force in the type of warfare happening right now.  I always viewed the SAS as a type of raid force, operating like a downsized US Army Ranger type outfit.
Conventional warfare is NOT where they shine.  So why put them in this type of fight?
