Part One of Three
We are, unbeknownst to most Americans, in an undeclared war with Russia. A war that doesn’t make sense to any of its participants. A war that we the people did not vote for and never wanted. Yet the war goes on regardless. At the time of this article’s publication, Joe Biden approved the firing of long-range missiles that are killing Russians in Russia. As a result, we are closer to nuclear war than at any time in history, far closer than we were during the Cuban Missile Crisis.”
Always listen to the guys on the ground.

Praxeology and War
Commentaries on war stretching back more than two millennia to the Peloponnesian Wars have enshrouded the fundamental causes of war in an almost impenetrable fog of myths, fallacies, and outright lies.
106 years ago, American troops were in a pitched battle for control of villages in northern Russia, fighting on a mission tied to a war that had ended a month prior. It was Dec. 30, 1918, and American soldiers from the Midwest were outside the village of Kadish, preparing to launch an offensive that would move from town to town, regaining territory ceded to Bolsheviks a month prior. It was part of one of the biggest fights between Americans and Russian communists, but it was years before the outbreak of the Cold War.
World War I ended on Nov. 11, 1918 with the armistice.
The Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency may soon launch a new program to develop more robust quantum sensors that can be integrated onto U.S. military platforms, according to a special notice.
Pentagon officials see quantum sensors as promising capabilities for alternative positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR).
However, there are challenges involved in deploying the technology that DARPA aims to tackle with a new program that it’s looking to kick off, dubbed Robust Quantum Sensors (RoQS).
