Brilliant video. Wonder how much it cost to have The Witcher do the voice over? Worth every penny (or is it pence)?

Today marks the 360th anniversary of the #RoyalMarines.

Established in 1664, the Royal Marines have remained steadfast over their 360-year history thanks to the Commando mindset and commitment to their values and standards.

Per Mare, Per Terram.

@metoyou99919097 @CovertShores This is the strangest, most incoherent 'bot reply I have ever had on Twitter/X. Bravo!

@project4_4 That'd be amazing! When can we start working on it?

[Darin MacDonald @dmacdonald77]

Thank you @graham_euan for this great articulation of the value of #AUKUS. The incoherence of the surrendered sovereignty arguments are baffling.

@project4_4 @JunoBeachCentre also did a podcast interview with me that I thought turned out really well. https://t.co/Urhtz7kCIK

@project4_4 Look forward to it. Feel free to check out the Web pages I created as an act of remembrance for my great-uncle who fought through the Scheldt with 4th Cdn Armd Div, 10th Inf Bgde, Algonquin Regiment. https://t.co/PxqCgKr2le

@project4_4 In the end, due to the priority for assets afforded to M-G, Simonds and the Canadian Corps struggled on in thier quest to clear the Scheldt. The first ship into Antwerp did not arrive until November as a result of these delays caused by the M-G Siren Song.

[Darin MacDonald @dmacdonald77]

@project4_4 foreseen the requirement for secure lines of communications to sustain thier operations into Germany, and ought to have understood the necessity of having thier seaward flank securely held. M-G was a case of self-delusion and strategic distraction due to hubris.

@DoggyDog1208 @DarrenWoodward @Dr_M_Davis @australian Your argument falls into a category repeatedly espoused by those less familiar with the means of combat that contends new tech will make conventional human in the loop platforms obsolete within __ years. Those processes always take much longer than the tech profits hypothesise.

[Darin MacDonald @dmacdonald77]

@DoggyDog1208 @DarrenWoodward @Dr_M_Davis @australian I once read a book by a guy who said something similar. I think he suggested aircraft dropping bombs on cities and factories that sustain a war effort would so undermine a state's ability to wage war that armies and navies would no longer be required. Italian lad. Douhet.
