If your VPN still shows your current location on X you can use a proxy. You just use the proxy address and place it in your browser. I use proxies, I don't use VPN. You can purchase proxies just like you can a VPN.

ETA: Yes, VPN's use proxies, just not in the same way.

Can you retards not read “Account based in Germany”



My man doesn’t know how to interpret the new location based feature on X

(hint: the part that’s circled in red on the picture means more than the part that has an exclamation point to the right of it that shows a VPN is being used to show that person in Germany)

There are rumors floating about that the crashed F4 might be the result a friendly fire accident. If true, holy shite that's bad. That is like the second or 3rd time that would have happened in recent years.

They are going to send our carriers to bottom of the ocean according to their propaganda, but they cant keep from knocking their own warbirds out of the sky.

So here's the problem...

The U.S. cannot conduct the initial stealth strikes on Iran during a full moon. This weekend the moon is a sliver just like June 22, 2025.

Trump initiated the 1st strike four days after the 2nd carrier arrived. The USS Ford doesn't arrive until Feb 28, which is a full moon.

He either strikes this weekend with 1 carrier + the fighters on shore, or he waits until Mar 18 with 2 carriers and no moon.

If they're going to conduct ground operations after 2 weeks of heavy bombing they can't do that without the 2nd carrier and they won't do that during a full moon.

Do they go now with no ground invasion, or do they wait until March 18?

I’m not even trying to predict how this will go down as the key to success is doing the unexpected.

But we are 100% not backing down at this point.

Tankers are the tell.

You do not surge aerial refueling assets forward unless you are preparing for sustained air operations at range. Fighters can deploy quietly. Bombers can posture symbolically. Tankers are logistics commitment. They mean planning depth.

Six KC 135s parked in Bulgaria are strategically important. Bulgaria gives reach into the eastern Mediterranean, the Black Sea corridor, and direct arcs toward Iran without relying entirely on Gulf basing.

This expands optionality.

Optionality is the key word.

When you pre position tankers in multiple European nodes, you are building a distributed refueling lattice. That reduces dependence on a single base such as Diego Garcia or Gulf states that may hesitate politically.

This signals three things.

One. Strike plans are mature enough to require real logistics rehearsal.

Two. Command wants redundancy in basing and routing.

Three. Escalation control is being engineered before any kinetic event.

quote:

It's part of the logistics bridge. When I deployed to Iraqi our C-17 refueled over the Black Sea. Those tankers are perfectly positioned for C-17s coming out of Ramstein.

If the north was an option we'd be putting assets in Turkey. Incirlik would be perfect, but the Turks want nothing to do with this one.

Georgia and Armenia are too close to Russia.

I mean they really do not understand how this works. Phase and depo are considered maintenance. Paperwork and computer work is also figured into that. Its not like they fly one time and are down for maintenance for several days.

VPNs have been common for a while. Especially overseas where a lot of web content has been more strictly monitored / censored than in the states. People also use it to access the different libraries of streaming services like Netflix

At my work we are required to use a VPN when working out of office

The ongoing internal civil war in Syria had them at risk of being released. That is why they were moved into secured holding in Iraq. They absolutely did not want them back out causing problems for us and anyone else in the region.

U.S. fighter jets intercepted Russian warplanes on Thursday after they were detected near Alaska.

The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) detected, tracked and intercepted two Russian Tu-95s bomber planes, two Su-35s fighter planes and one A-50 spy plane until they departed the Alaskan ADIZ, officials said in a statement released late Thursday. The defense agency launched two F-16s, two F-35s and four KC-135s to complete the mission.
