The critical X factor in American military logistics is 720,000 or 4,500,000

 720,000 or 4,500,000 are the X factors in American military logistics. How are these numbers derived at?

The mightiest American war machine is the Carrier Strike Group. According to Wikipedia, A U.S. Navy Carrier Strike Group (CSG) is an operational formation of roughly 7,500 personnel. It typically includes one nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, a carrier air wing of 65 to 70 aircraft, one guided-missile cruiser, a destroyer squadron of two to four guided-missile destroyers, and one or two attack submarines. If you add in the supply and logistic ships and crew, the total personnel could be rounded up to 8,000 men. Multiply 8,000 men with 90 days, or 3 months, a normal tour of duty, 720,000. 

Why is this the X factor in American military logistic? When the Americans deploy a carrier strike group, whether for exercise or war, or just a show of force, all the supplies needed to keep 8,000 fed and be comfortable will have to be multiplied by this number. Assuming that the supplies for the whole 8,000 will to last 3 months before replenishment, everything will have to be multiplied by 720,000.

 Just to quote a few essential items to illustrate the importance of this X factor.

If each seaman consumes 6 eggs per day, a 3 month supply will be 6 x 720,000 = 4,320,000 eggs

If each seaman consumes 6 tomatoes per day, it will be 6 x 720,000 = 4,320,000 tomatoes

If each seaman consumes 6 satchels of tea/coffee/sugar, it will be 4,320,000 satchels of each.

The X factor can be applied to all consumables, fruits eg orange, apple, banana, vegetables. toilet rolls, flour for bread, toiletries, bacon, steak, chicken, sausages, potatoes, hamburgers etc etc. If a seaman eats half a chicken or a fish a day, they will need to order for 360,000 chicken or 720,000 fish. Similar numbers apply to bacon, steak, sausages, hamburgers etc etc. And if each seaman needs a pail of water for bathing, not counting the water for drinking. they will need 720,000 pails of water.

The logistic problems the American Navy is facing for deploying two carrier strike groups in the Middle East are humongous. The X factor will be 2 x 720,00. Where are they going to find the suppliers to provide for such volumes of food and essential items in short notice? And this does not include the needs of another 50,000 American soldiers supposedly deployed in the region. For the 50,000 soldiers the X factor will be 4,500,000 in addition to the 2 x 720,000. If you combine the two forces, ie to support and supply 68,000 men, the X factor is 6,120,000!

The Operation to kill Iranians is in its six months and the logistic nightmare must be keeping the Americans very busy with sleepless nights. Now you can understand why the seamen are rioting for lack of food and daily essentials in their warships. Now you can understand why drunkard Hegseth had to hide the fact that the troops and sailors were not supplied with their daily essentials and food. It is a horrendous task to support 68,000 fighting men for 6 months!

The Americans are not just bleeding in weaponry but also in food and daily essentials just by being there!

The only weapon left for the Americans is lies

The USA running out of ammo is obvious. Every move Trump made regarding Iran cemented the weapons and ammo shortage position even more convincingly. You cannot lie and expect reality to uphold such lies.

The Nation of Liars has no more cards to play and lying is the only avenue left. Only problem is whether the Iranians can be fooled. Maybe the Rednecks and Hillbillies can be easily fooled, but not others.

Surely the Iranians are not blind to the aircraft carrier problems and the moral collapse of the crews. The longer the war drags on, the more difficult it will be for the USA to keep lying about its invincibility. Most analysts of repute have already said that the USA has technically lost the war. It is just hanging there in the Strait of Hormuz, still flogging a dying horse to fool the unwary that it is still threatening Iran.

When will the South Koreans be free from American occupation and control?

A peace treaty between North and South Korea means the war officially ends, right? What then is the purpose of stationing USA troops in South Korea? A peace deal will mean North Korea is no more going to attack the South and USA troops are no longer needed for protection.

South Korea does not regard China as a threat like the North and relations are stable and not that bad, although anti-China bots are trying to stir shit by fabricating the mantra that South Korea is China's biggest unknown threat more than Japan, because of China's involvement in the Korean War. Moreover, I believe the South Koreans have slowly woken up and knows what is more important to them. The persistent issue with North Korea is not good for them and Lee probably realized that North Korea is no pushover today. It is a nuclear state, already capable of helping Russia in Ukraine and has been firing missiles into the sea as a warning against any provocative moves.

Trump is obviously taking issue with South Korea for not being involved in the war against Iran and is cutting back on the military exercise with South Korea. South Korea has much to lose if it enters the war against Iran, although logistically it is involved.

I do not think President Lee's idea will be music to the ears of the USA. He will slowly be removed or even assassinated. Assassination of South Korean Presidents have precedents and cannot be ignored. Maybe they will not do it directly but create a false flag and accuse North Korea of doing it. How much does it cost to get a North Korean to do it is relatively easy. Money talks and bullshit walks.

American terrorists' Pax Silica for silly countries

WASHINGTON: The US is preparing to tell dozens of countries they must pick sides in the artificial intelligence (AI) race with China, warning they will be excluded from a US-led AI coalition if they also sign up for Beijing's competing framework, according to a US official and an internal draft reviewed by Reuters.

Washington last year launched the Pax Silica initiative aimed at securing supply chains for AI models, semiconductors and critical minerals, amid a fierce technology rivalry with Beijing.

About two dozen countries have joined, including Kazakhstan, a key potential source of critical minerals that has also joined China's coalition, as well as close US allies such as Japan, Australia and South Korea.

The draft letter, prepared by the State Department, is addressed to the 35 signatories of a US "AI Opportunity Statement" signed in June, which includes members of the non-binding Pax Silica framework and other countries that have expressed a desire to align cooperation on AI with Washington.

By pressing countries to choose sides, the US hopes to starve China of resources in a race to make the most sophisticated AI, which could be used for military or economic dominance. CNA

Everyday without fail, this silly aggressive and warmongering American terrorist state will cook up something to attack some countries. China, Russia, Iran, North Korea are their favourite targets to incite fear based on fabricated narratives, misinformation and lies. At one stage, even their silly crony states were falsely accusing China of forcing them to take sides. You know who they are. The truth is now out. It is the American terrorists that is forcing them to take sides against China and friends.

The constant barrage of attacks against fictitious and imaginery enemies is running out of steam. Fewer and fewer countries are believing in American lies. The American terrorists are the troublemakers, the threat to the rest of the world. This silly Pax Sillica is an obvious scam. They invited many countries to join their wolf pack but only a few silly countries signed up. 

Everyone knows that the American terrorists are going to monopolise and control AI to rape the world. Their AI centres cost billions that very few countries can afford. It is their way of pricing out AI from the rest of the world and expecting the rest of the world to pay an arm or a leg to use American AI. Joining the silly Pax Silica is a self admission that these leaders are silly to the core. Any silly Asean cuntry joining the silly Pax?

China is providing the alternative, open source, affordable AI for the world. Everyone and country can participate in AI virtually free and unrestricted, free from the American control and oppression and free to participate without having to tie their hands and legs.

The acronym chosen by the Americans is most appropriate, a Freudian Slip in a way, to call it Pax Silica instead of anything else. All the silly leaders and countries are welcome to be silly to join the silly Pax Silica, to be controlled, cheated, robbed and raped and to be called silly.

Watch out for the silly leaders and countries that volunteered to be silly members of this silly Pax.

Trump is a triple agent for Russia and China

It is not a joke that some people are saying Trump is a Russian asset. Trump has never been known to be personal against Putin, and some are saying that Putin has all the cards against Trump in his pocket. Trump is also never a China asset. However, Trump is doing everything to make China even greater without realizing it.

China would not have prioritize huge investments in chip innovation and AI. China would not have migrated its agricultural requirements to Brazil and Russia, decimating USA farmers in the process. Soctt Bessent is livid and castigating China for causing all the harm to its farmers. Why cry over spilt milk when the USA is the one pushing the milk cart over.

What Trump did with trade wars and tariff wars has made China less dependent on the USA on most things, including chips, soya beans, corn and livestock. It was a blessing in disguise that would not have happened without Trump in office. Now, who is happier? The perpetrator of trade wars, or the victim of those trade wars? All the doom and gloom that was to beset China did not materialized. Even the energy issue did not dent China's manufacturing base so far. China's trade surplus is even more during the USA war on Iran and affecting China's energy imports.
