Yeah

 


ON A LIL BIT OF A RANT TODAY...


I just want somebody to come explain to me 

why is it 

IF, 

(Big emphasis on IF BTW)

 the Ukrainians shot down 

ONE, 

ONE,

Kinzhal missile


How exactly does that somehow make 

all of our adversaries 

Hypersonic's

an "OVERBLOWN" threat?


"On 4 May 2023 at about 2:40 AM over Kyiv,[46] one Kh-47M2 missile was claimed to be shot down by the Ukrainian air defense forces using a MIM-104 Patriot missile defence system.[47][48][49][50] According to CNN, the Patriot system's ability to stop an air-launched hypersonic missile was considered to be only theoretical before the claimed interception.[51] On 9 May 2023, Patrick S. Ryder, a Pentagon spokesman, confirmed that Ukraine downed the hypersonic missile.[52] On 10 May 2023, Vitali Klitschko showed fragments of the alleged downed Kinzhal missile for Bild journalists in Kyiv.[53] Russian media alleged that the fragments closely resembled the concrete-piercing BETAB-500ShP aerial bomb.[54][55]"

"On 16 May 2023, Ukraine claimed to have intercepted six Kinzhal missiles fired at Kyiv overnight; Russian defense minister Sergei Shoigu denied the Ukrainian claims, saying that not that many Kinzhal missiles had been fired at all.[56] The Russian Defense Ministry claimed to have destroyed a US-built Patriot surface-to-air missile defense system with a Kinzhal missile the same night.[57][58] US officials confirmed that the Patriot system was damaged, but stated that the damage was minimal and that the battery has been fully operational after minor repairs.[59][60] Neither the US nor Ukrainian officials confirmed whether the damage was due to falling debris or another cause."

"In an interview published by The Economist on 13 June 2023, the Ukrainian Patriot operators stated that the Kinzhal missiles travelled at approximately 1,240 m/s (Mach 3.6), which is about one-third of the maximum speed claimed by Russia.[2]"


Notice, 

Patrick S. Ryder, a Pentagon spokesman 

did not confirm that the six Kinzhal's 

were shot down on May 16 2023, 

just the one on May 4th.


(Discernment, 

knowing whats going on 

by what is not being said,

not what is.)


(You can go to the link and look up and read the articles yourself

It might give your arm and hands

 a break from playing call of duty for a second.)


And so why should I believe that, 

when the entire rest of the world 

minus the 40 country Ukrainian alliance 

knows:


"US officials also estimate that...

Russia’s military casualties, the officials said, are approaching 300,000. The number includes as many as 120,000 deaths and 170,000 to 180,000 injured troops. The Russian numbers dwarf the Ukrainian figures, which the officials put at close to 70,000 killed and 100,000 to 120,000 wounded."


that those fucking numbers are simply ridiculous.


And that we are loosing 

and loosing badly?

A war we  cant possibly hope to win?

How's that counter-offensive working out?

It's kinda hard without an army to fight it with I remember somebody sayin.

If the threat from our adversaries hypersonic technology that we dont have is so "Overblown"?

Why then are Russia and China acting in the manner they are without fear of reprisal?

Come lay it on me.

Ready to hear it.

Please...I got all day for you to make your case.



Here's the point I'm getting at:

If supposedly 

shooting down

 one "quasi-hypersonic" missile

renders our adversaries advantage moot?


Then what have these incidents 

done to our advantage(s)?


1999 F-117A shootdown


"On 27 March 1999, during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, a Yugoslav Army unit (the 3rd Battalion of the 250th Air Defense Missile Brigade, which was under the leadership of Colonel Zoltán Dani) shot down an F-117 Nighthawk stealth aircraft of the United States Air Force by firing a S-125 Neva/Pechora surface-to-air missile. The pilot ejected safely and was rescued by U.S. Air Force PJs conducting search and rescue.[1][2]

The F-117, which entered service with the U.S. Air Force in 1983, was cutting-edge equipment, and the first operational aircraft to be designed using stealth technology; by comparison, the Yugoslav air defenses were considered relatively obsolete.[3]"


(Oh I'm sorry that was 1999, you didn't even have call of duty till 2003.)


or this one:


Iran–U.S. RQ-170 incident


"On 5 December 2011, an American Lockheed Martin RQ-170 Sentinel unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was captured by Iranian forces near the city of Kashmar in northeastern Iran. The Iranian government announced that the UAV was brought down by its cyberwarfare unit which commandeered the aircraft and safely landed it, after initial reports from Western news sources disputedly claimed that it had been "shot down".[1] The United States government initially denied the claims but later President Obama acknowledged that the downed aircraft was a US drone.[2][3] Iran filed a complaint to the UN over the airspace violation. Obama asked Iran to return the drone. Iran is said to have produced drones based on the captured RQ-170 including the Shahed 171 Simorgh and Shahed Saegheh."


Every jack ass out there saying the threat we face from Hypersonics from our adversaries is "overblow" because of one "quasi-hypersonic" missile supposedly being shot down just absolutely flies in the face of our current reality. 


General Says Countering Hypersonic Weapons Is Imperative

May 10, 2023


'The Big One Is Coming,' 

Warns US Stratcom Chief, Calls Ukraine Crisis A 'Warm-up'



I WAS WRITING ABOUT STUFF  

4 AND A HALF YEARS AGO 

YOU DIDNT EVEN KNOW ABOUT 

UNTIL JUST NOW.


So

You cant possibly catch up.

(Cause by the time you do?

I'll be that much further on down the road.)


One of the things that separated Kobe from the rest was his mentality, which later was adopted by athletes and people worldwide.

“All the hard work in the summer wouldn’t be enough for them to catch up to you”: Kobe Bryant talking about consistency

As a player, Kobe Bryant wasn’t extraordinary or had any special gifts. What made him so great was his ability to put in the work, and to keep doing so consistently. Kobe loved his craft, and always was looking to get better at it.

(Same.

Not that big of a fan of his BTW, 

But this dedication? 

This type of mentality? 

This kinda work ethic? 

Kinda hard not to be a big fan of.)

One of the things he did differently from everyone else was his insane training schedule

(My training has been of the spiritual kinda 

and for a purpose, 

to tell you where we are at 

and what is going on, 

ignore at your own peril.)

In an interview, Kobe once discussed how his training schedule gave him the edge over others.

“You get up at 10 in the morning, go to the gym by 12, workout from 12-2. You eat, recover, and get out there at 6. Train from 6-8, you go home, eat, shower, and sleep. That’s 2 workouts a day. Now imagine if you got up at 3. Train from 4-6, come home, breakfast, relax, now you’re back at it again from 9-11. Go back, relax, now you’re back at it from 2-4, and then again from 7-9. Look at how much more training I’ve done by simply starting at 4 am. As the years go on, the separation you have between competitors and peers grows larger and larger. By year 5 or 6, doesn’t matter what kind of work they put in during the summer, they’re never going to catch up.”


So politely go shut the fuck up.

Sit down.

Listen/read etc.

And learn.


YOUR WAY OF LIFE IS OVER.

NOT IF.

WHEN.


Revelation 11:5

If anyone tries to harm them,

fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. 

This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die.


You still think this a joke?

You dont see all the biblical prophecies being played out right in front of you?

Not the watchmans fault!


So if one supposedly shot down quasi-hypersonic means our adversaries advantage is "Overblown" what do those two incidents listed above say about our supposed advantages?

I got all day.

Come lay it on me.

I'll even take a break from my training regimen 

and give you all the time you need to explain it to me.



People are just not understanding 

how this works, so I'm gonna remind you:


Remember when the Colorado river was running dry 

(before last years storms), 

some people purposed an aqueduct 

from the Mississippi to help replenish it?


Pipe dream or possible? Experts weigh in on idea of sending Mississippi River water to West



Now the Mississippi is near it's lowest level(s) ever recorded..

Mississippi River water levels near record lows; Here's why


It's the droughts yo.





"Well lets just dredge it deeper" then, right?

They Dredged the Mississippi River for Trade. Now a Water Crisis Looms


"Dredging exacerbates saltwater intrusions 

like the one threatening New Orleans' drinking water, according to a Bloomberg News review of US Army Corps studies."


And it's not just New Orleans.

It's more widespread than you thought.


So here is what is going on,

and it's really quite simple.


Amos 5:18-20

The Day of the Lord


18 Woe to you who long

    for the day of the Lord!

Why do you long for the day of the Lord?

    That day will be darkness, not light.

19 It will be as though 

a man fled from a lion

    only to meet a bear,

as though he entered his house

    and rested his hand 

on the wall

    only to have 

a snake bite him.

20 Will not the day of the Lord 

be darkness, not light—

    pitch-dark, 

without a ray of brightness?


Put another way:




People are gonna go try and hide in caves 

from the power that created the universe?


Revelation 6:15-17

Everyone hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. This included the kings of the earth, the princes and the generals. It included rich people and powerful people. It also included everyone else, both slaves and people who were free. They called out to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us! Hide us from the face of the one who sits on the throne! Hide us from the anger of the Lamb! The great day of their anger has come. Who can live through it?”


Good luck with that BTW.


And they say 

"I'm weird" 

Lucy?


Better wake up and understand it's all true.

Quick like in a hurry and understand how much your God loves you 

that he would sacrifice his own son for you.


A logical argument just isn't going to convince anyone, epically if your hearts have been hardened...I wish I could just wave my hand over the earth and the spirit come on everyone...unfortunately its just not how it works...


Reminds me of a song :-)

Go figure :-).

Not RNM this time:


"Then I crushed fifteen million with a wave of my hand"



Dear God:

I wish I could crush 

all their spirits

and give them all 

the contrite hearts you desire...


Psalm 51:17


My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;

    a broken and contrite heart

    you, God, will not despise.


(So having a contrite heart means 

recognizing our sinfulness and brokenness. 

It means being humble and teachable. 

The word translated “contrite” in Psalm 51 means “to be broken, crushed” 

(Gesenius' Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon). 

The related word in Psalm 34 means 

“(1) very much crushed, broken very small).
