AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA Pacific Pathways is a strategic path-finding and proof-of-concept operation exploring ahead for multi-partner, multi-domain comms freedom across the Indo-Pacific engagement space.

The old standards are still the standards.Fundamentals have not changed, only incidentals. We go here and there looking for God.Truth is, we are ever only looking right at Him. Between civilian command resolving upon war and military command executing on that resolve, there should be an intermediate step: military command counterparts meeting in person to…
The One Is Indivisible The Truth Is The Whole Background: I wrote here that The CCP is throwing a snit fit over having been forced by POTUS Trump, through trade agreement, to abandon fleecing Americans. Dynamics we see today follow upon that snit fit but also precede it, as discussed in the following. Caveat: Most…
The One Is Indivisible The Truth Is The Whole They should be arrested for disturbing the peace. And hauled up on charges of sedition. Observed at scale, several geo-strategic phenomena arrest one’s attention by way of their systemic import. One is the failure of the Trump administration, in the company of numerous and distinguished nation-states, so…
The One Is Indivisible The Truth Is The Whole TEACHERS URGE GOVERNMENT TO REOPEN SCHOOLS BEFORE STUDENTS LEARN TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES If the WWW is thought of as an ocean, one can observe that CCP aim to own it the way His Majesty’s Royal Navy owned the seas, at least awhile. Ditto space. DJT…
The United States of America is a force-westward nation. We move with the sun, always bathing in purity and warmth. Against the day they might be convenient as accessible from one post, I link here on The Indo-Pacific Region, here on INDOPACOM, here on Pacific Pathways, here on COCOMS, and here on Sovereignty and Strategics to what I…
The One Is Indivisible The Truth Is The Whole Click Here For A PDF Of This Post Nature abhors an hegemon and has powers far more than sufficient to drive the same loco. And always does, always will. This fact is an occasion for faith. For sanity to be maintained, faith in this fact is…
The One Is Indivisible The Truth Is The Whole What If America Isn’t Able to Stop a Surprise Attack by China? David Axe Toward the end of his middling-decent analysis/essay, Axe reports of some brainiac who flashed on one of the ideas I put forth at this time last year: — stationing US forces on…
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA Viewing INDOPACOM as a whole, these total/joint — Diplomacy, Finance, War-Fighting — force posture necessities should be noted: 1- INDOPACOM is an Army show because the Army is the lead component of the total/joint force — which includes also State and Treasury Departments– facing the region’s chief hegemon, China. Every COCOM is…
x AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA SCMP used to be anti-Communist, now it is ChiCom Lite at least. Today is 2019. It is not 1953. Land war in China and against China is now a rational problem set, not an irrational renunciation of sanity. China is in the grip of aggressive, hegemonic imperialists of the Socialist cast.…
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA My entries below, dated 31JAN19 and 29JAN19, are thinking, not proposing, much less advocating. Importantly, both entries assume that Three Brothers Alliance is operational.

As Is The Feeling,So Is The Result. In the grasp and design of US Foreign Responsibility and Policy, I have focused on the importance of the Combatant Commands, aka COCOMs. I have been dissatisfied with both the demarcation and the composition of the present system of COCOMs. I remain so. While I believe the COCOMs…
RAMANAM In the Name of The Father, and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, Amen. The military mission is to gain and hold ground. Actual ground, land. The Marine mission is to gain and hold ground short term, including for punitive purposes, which definitionally are short term actions. The Army mission is to gain and hold ground long…
RAMANAM In the Name of The Father, and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, Amen. Countrymen, Mirengoff is usually muddle-headed, but on this one I think he is significantly, insightfully correct. If you concur, keep this insight of Paul’s in mind and this will help you anticipate what is coming next from this imperial-intending occupier of the White…
