Bullet Points:
** President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s administration announced in February his approval of an expanded U.S. military presence in the country by allowing American forces to station in the four additional Philippine military bases under the 2014 Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement between the longtime treaty allies. The Chinese are not amused and are sending lots of spies to the P. I. based on sources that I have in the area. The CCP thought that they owned the Philippines, but apparently, that deal wasn’t signed, sealed, and delivered.
On Monday the PI Govt identified four new local military camps, including some across a sea border from Taiwan, where rotational batches of American forces with their weapons would be allowed to stay indefinitely despite strong objections from China.
** On Monday, USGOV conducted an airstrike in Syria that killed Khalid ‘Aydd Ahmad al-Jabouri. He was a significant planner in terrorist attacks against the EU.
** Stringshot reported this from Gateway Pundit: Mexico has expressed its interest in joining the BRICS group of emerging economies, which currently consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The Mexican Foreign Minister, Marcelo Ebrard, said that Mexico shares the vision and values of the BRICS and hopes to deepen its cooperation with them in various fields, especially in medicine and trade.
Incompetence and perceived impotence in the Biden regime create these ripples. The US needs to focus on making America great again, but I don’t see any moves in that direction.
Identify the SMG:
Sterling
A bonus question: (no input from MikeW allowed. I think that he’s in the air to Australia but in case.
Can a Sterling be suppressed? Can a Sten?
Yes to both.
Yes, both were integral/built into the weapons themselves. Naturally, subsonic ammo helped.
Identify the Tank:
French AMR 33
Yes.
Too slow but yes to both SMC’s.
We had a suppressed Sten in unit museum in Brisbane, Australia in the 1970’s.
Government sold the site in 1999 and I had transferred years before so no idea what happened to all the stuff. Had all sorts of firearms from WW1 onwards.
I have fired a suppressed STEN at a machine gun shoot that belonged to a private collector. I don’t know what kind of ammo it ran, but I remember it was really quiet.
If it was really quiet the ammo was probably subsonic 9mm FMJ.
Been around an HK MP5 suppressed firing subsonic ammo and it was more the noise of the action than the bullet sound. Crazy quiet.
The action and the tinkle of the brass hitting the deck.
America in decline- Trump’s remarks after an exhausting day of insane indictment mode traveling up and down the Eastern seaboard were incredibly energized, inspiring, and refreshing as he outlined the utter and complete epic failure of the Biden administration that is purposely destroying America. This is serious business that has gotten out of hand, truly the good versus evil, and Trump has a grasp and understanding of what must be done, coupled to the will to do it. Every other so-called 2024 “Republican” candidate looks milquetoast by comparison.
Is it possible for us – the 75/80 million – to wrest the tiller from the hand of tyranny so as to right the heeled-over ship before it capsizes?
There were those 81 million votes for Pedo Joe – the most popular president – ever. 18 million voters (some dead) can be a force for the Swamp…
It’s the new norm, dead men may not be able to tell tales but they sure can vote Democrat, especially considering the R’s are next to useless with their man-bun skinny jeans soy-boy wimpy-a$$ approach.
Wisconsin had their election yesterday, seems some places had “problems” with the machines. Results were predictable. Thieves and criminals. The voting prescription you and many have outlined, with counting ending at 10pm local, IS THE ONLY way to combat the rampant election fraud.
Now that “Ferdinand Marcos Jr.” is running the PI, we should stipulated that all the once-and-future US military bases be renamed according to the same scheme, i.e. “Subic Bay Jr.” “Clark Field Jr.” etc.

The pendulum swings.
I recall reading that during WW2 the Germans were developing a suppressed SMG based on their MP40?
The project was not yielding satisfactory results and the people working on the project requested that they be allowed to use captured Stens as the foundation of their suppressor program. Denied!
They fired a suppressed Sten behind a group of officers during a testing demo of their designs.
The officers did not hear the Sten.
I do not remember how the project went from there.
