National Defense Strategy Includes Lessons Learned From Past 6 Months
MARCH 4, 2022 | BY JIM GARAMONE, DOD NEWS

The Defense Department is learning from the experiences of the past six months as Russia built up troops around Ukraine and then invaded the country, Press Secretary John F. Kirby said at a Pentagon press conference today.

Those observations are being incorporated into the National Defense Strategy, he said. 

The National Defense Strategy is still being crafted, along with the National Security Strategy. Both documents are based on President Joe Biden's interim national security guidance. 

Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III said in Poland on Feb. 18, that many aspects of the strategy are already in play in regards to efforts with Russia. "The secretary was clear that it will reinforce his notion of an integrated deterrence and it will certainly recognize that China remains the pacing challenge for the department," Kirby said.

What "lessons" do they mean?  Like CRT?  Preferred pronoun usage?  Maybe eating etiquette in a fox hole? :whistle:

Kirby said they have tested the line. "When we tested it, they did pick up the other end and acknowledge that they got the call," he said.  

So now milley can call moscow direct and warn them and not wait for international policy directions from the congress or the president.. he must be wetting his pants he is so happy.
So in 6 months our Department of Defense managed to hook up 2 phones... great job, meanwhile,
We abandoned Afghanistan to hell on earth and $85 billiion in sophisticated equipment,
Our DOD woke indoctrination has consumed 6 million man hours,
Our navy fleet is in port 'cause it does not float,
Our air force is less than 60% operational,
And rumor has it the army has selected a new pink camo uniform....  /s

Kirby also discussed the deconfliction line that has been set up between U.S. European Command and Russia's Ministry of Defense. "It is basically … a phone connection to the Russian Ministry of Defense," Kirby said. "As I understand it's basically staffed by staff level officers at European Command … and it's being administered as a bilateral U.S. to Russia deconfliction channel." 

Just WTF is a "deconfliction line"?  And how does that differ from normal diplomatic channels?
