Hello and welcome to this week’s edition of West Coast Milblogger. I’m your host Cyrus Emerson.
From A to Z has approved the audio for The Applegate Trail of 1846 read by Adam J. Smith for distribution. It could be another week or so. Plus, Red Roses 2nd edition is almost ready with new cover art as seen at the end of this podcast on formats where available. The company is also looking forward to sharing the new online store filled with merchandise.
Now our AI correspondents with reports on Explosions, Global Tension Update, and New New Testament.
Explosions.
Explosions rocked the world this week registering on the Richter scale explain their impact on headlines as conflicts continue.
First in Lebanon, personal pagers exploded on the bodies of Hezbollah fighters some of the most well equipped and inexperienced soldiers on the planet. Then a massive ammunition depot failing to maintain ordnance as expected burst into flames after a drone strike got shot down in Russia.
One can see how this new attack against Hezbollah psychologically changes the momentum in this theater of war. More than 12 dead and 2,800 injured. This followed by explosive radios killing more and wounding less while destroying command and control within the ranks.
Finally, as the supreme leader of Hezbollah spoke on television, Israeli jets flew overhead as airstrikes later killed most of the paramilitary groups highest ranking officers.
Most recently, Ukraine has launched another drone strike that potentially detonated a nuclear warhead. The massive mushroom cloud igniting the night sky with plasma similar to that found on our sun.
Global Tension Update.
To follow up, how do recent explosions play in areas experiencing heavy fighting or on the verge of warfare.
On the Israel and Lebanon border Hezbollah becomes pacified with a hit on command and control within the ranks of soldiers accustomed to days on the beach representing the man. This soften-up of their forces can pave the way for a future Israeli invasion of the area to clear Hezbollah defenses.
Gaza remains in shock, now paranoid of electronic devices that have been a source of comfort before recent actions. Houthi rebels don’t care. Yet Iran finds it difficult to make a clear stand after the helicopter deaths of their President and Foreign Minister months ago. The Ayatollah more concerned with grooming an heir. Seekers of power thrust into power without knowing what to do with it.
The Russian military is now winning ground from Ukraine both in Kursk and in Pokrovsk where West Coast Milblogger has been reporting recently. This week’s ammunition supply depot explosions could have a major impact on violence along the border.
Russia relies on a slash and burn tactic using low grade ammunition to destroy cities before troops advance. From the size of these ammunition depots one can assume it could lead to at least rationing shells having an impact on the Army’s ability to burn a village to the ground. This includes their occupied territories in Kursk where this doctrine has once again been given a shoutout on mainstream Kremlin media outlets.
President Zelenskyy’s plan for victory includes long-range missiles capable of eliminating Siberian resupply routes. These recent Ukrainian drone strikes have demolished some of the ammunition supplied to Russia from North Korea. This coincides with China’s commitment to North Korean as a friendly nation.
New New Testament.
Explain current global affairs from the context of a Bible and History scholar from a top college.
At the end of World War Two the Protestants residing in the US and UK were in a power share with Russia for global domination. Catholic Europe in shambles. Homeless Jews recovering from genocide.
Protestants thought to embody the example of Christ by giving away their power to rebuild Catholic Europe. More subtlety, Albert Einstein became the new Messiah of the Jewish people.
As time progressed, Protestants gave up colonies because of civil rights issues in pursuit of a higher ideal. Catholics had lost their colonies long ago because of a need to have centralized control. Jews were finally given a home in the Holyland.
Because of a common Roman historical tie, Protestants, Catholics, and Jews became mixed together as a population leading to idealist Protestant influence dissolving, to appease the more aggressive Catholics and cunning Jewish tribes of Christendom.
Meanwhile, Russian Orthodox Church having never felt the pressure from Pope decrees kept to the vast wilderness. Using social media influencers, the Kremlin tried to manipulate Western powerbrokers attempting to consolidate political will.
In 2024, people were witnessing the end of the global order into a new hierarchy, while at the same time being molded by archaic institutions along with technological breakthroughs. This led to World War Three where all parties agreed not to use nuclear weapons.
However, outside Western history because of the worldwide web, the Global South, Palestine, and China became involved in the design of a new world order.
Craigslist Buys.
Now to this week’s Craigslist Buy, this decorative silver colored fish tin. Hang it on a wall for Jesus or bake devil’s food cake to form. Either way, for $2 it’s a win-win situation.
