Venezuela!

 U.S. Invasion coming Soon?

The training videos off the Puerto-Rico look impressive, but will they be able to land without loss. one thinks that there will be casualties and loss for what, more oil and a change of government under the guise of fighting drug crime!

Meanwhile the pardoning of the Honduran president makes the whole affair hypocritical, because peace will not be achieved in any of the Presidents ventures, just the bluster of his own aged dementia, like the guy before him!

It is at this time hard to know what new tech may be deployed and how good it will work or not, the marine landings look impressive when not under fire and we cannot be sure if other nations will not step in to help or China attack Japan, Taiwan and others with N-Korea, will Iran and the Houthis attack Israel and what will Russia do, may hit the U.K. and Europe?

Trump has already told his military to prepare for the third world-war and it looks like its coming sooner than we thought!

Rockets. Part-One.

Rockets and Missiles.

Here in the British Isles 'Halloween and Guy Fawkes nights are almost upon us and it is a traditional time for the buying and firing of Fireworks. Millions of pounds will be spent for that moment of joy and fun. The origins of the rocket as a firework goes back thousands of years to ancient China, were they were used for entertainment, but we now know that they were also used as a weapon.

Modern rocketry is associated today with Space launches and military missiles, rockets have become an engine driving a payload up and over.

There is much more to the rocket and the concept of the projectile, which today combines the weapons of the past. Such as the Spear, Javelin and Arrow. Next year (2014), I will cover this in more detail, with the relationship to Artillery and the weapons such as the Bazooka and Rocket Propelled Grenade.
