IMAGES: B-52 Stratofortress lands in South Korea for the first time
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 10/17/2023 - 08:35am Military
The U.S. Air Force is celebrating the 70º anniversary of the U.S.-South Korea alliance with a huge demonstration of air power at the 2023 Seoul International Aerospace and Defense Exhibition (ADEX) this week, and a B-52H Stratofortress made a full landing on the Korean Peninsula for the first time today, according to all known reports.
Tumblr media
Also during the exhibition, scheduled from October 17 to 22 at Seoul Air Base, USAF will exhibit eight other types of aircraft through static displays and aerial demonstrations, according to the Pacific Air Forces, including: F-22 Raptor, F-16 Fighting Falcon, A-10 Thunderbolt II, C-17 Globemaster III, C-5 Galaxy, KC-135 Stratotanker, U-2 Dragon Lady and E-3 Sentry. Other U.S. military aircraft include CH-47F Chinook, AH-64 Apache, F-35B Lightning II and E/A-18 Growler.

The famous nuclear-capable B-52 bomber carried out two overflights at the event before landing at Cheongju Airport, 140 km south of Seoul.
“These overflights, air demonstrations and static displays, including the landing of the B-52 on the peninsula, are part of our ongoing commitment to promote peace, stability and prosperity on the Korean peninsula,” Major Rachel Buitrago, director of Public Affairs of the 7ª Air Force, said in a statement.
Tumblr media
The B-52 Stratofortress, known as BUFF, is the main cruise missile carrier of the U.S. Air Force. The H model is now the last variant of the Stratofortress, which has been in service since the 1950s.
Although the B-52 has never landed in Korea, it has carried out several recent exercises near or over the Korean Peninsula. On June 30, several B-52s from Barksdale Air Base, along with South Korean F-16, F-15E and F-35As and KF-16, conducted a joint overflight of the country.
Tumblr media
Then, on July 13, the long-range bomber was accompanied by F-16 and three F-15K aircraft of the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) for a combined air training session over the peninsula. This exercise followed North Korea's allegations that it launched a solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile on July 12, capable of reaching the continental territory of the United States.
North Korea continued to carry out numerous missile launches this year, including the most recent test in September, when it fired two short-range ballistic missiles into the sea off the eastern coast.
Tumblr media
“We still face ongoing challenges from North Korea, including its dangerous and destabilizing missile testing program, and others that would undermine the rules-based international order,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in April when he welcomed South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol who was visiting the Pentagon.
Austin and President Joe Biden pledged to intensify joint military exercises between the U.S. and South Korea, including those with nuclear-capable resources, such as strategic bombers or submarines with ballistic missiles. Last week, the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan made a stopover in Busan, South Korea.
Tumblr media
“2023 marks 70 years of alliance between the United States and the Republic of Korea - an alliance that has proved to be solid in the face of challenges over many decades. It is among the most interoperable, capable and dynamic bilateral alliances in the world," Lieutenant General Scott Pleus, commander of the Seventh Air Force and deputy commander of the U.S. Forces in Korea, said in a statement.
Tumblr media
“We are honored to demonstrate our commitment to this partnership through our U.S. participation in Seoul's ADEX 23 as part of our ongoing commitment to promoting peace, stability and prosperity on the Korean peninsula,” Pleus added.
This biennial exhibition, the largest of its kind in Northeast Asia, presents aircraft, ground equipment, air demonstrations and attracts aviation and aerospace experts and defense personnel from all over the world.

I've had to leave roleplaying communities, notably the FFXV RPC, for calling out racists. I was kicked out of a server run by people who I thought were my friends when I said "making a ch*nky-eyed caricature of a North Korean soldier/saying that the US should just nuke North Korea is racist". Not only was I kicked from the server, but the admin basically gave me a non-apology by saying "well, I'm sorry you thought it was offensive and don't grasp political humor".
What I did on my blog was reblog a "how properly apologize for racism" explanation and I was mass blocked for 'causing drama'. I didn't even name anyone because I was scared that I'd get even more negative backlash, despite having screenshots and my friend from Germany's screenshoits of everyone in the server talking mad shit about how "oversensitive" I am.
And you know what, I'm tired of being scared and cowed into silence just because white people have a conniption fit if you so much as bring up the word 'racism' in their soft cozy little 'for fun' space.
Tumblr media
Interesting choice of words. So, racism isn't dangerous to anyone in any way? Calling what happened to Bunny 'bullying' is already a stretch, but calling it a LYNCHING when their safety isn't even close to being threatened to a group of people who actually have to fear shit like that is so amazingly tone deaf, I'm almost impressed.
Tumblr media
Yes, it is justified. The backlash that's been happening is honestly LIGHT compared to the kind of harm people like that are spreading by being racist and influencing people into shaming roleplayers of color for speaking out against an issue that obviously concerns us.
This isn't a matter of "being unlikeable", it's a matter of common decency. I hate it when people seem to think that like, we need to be straight up fucking killed by racists for it to 'count' as racism. It doesn't even matter if you are intentionally or unintentionally being racist- You're still racist. Your attitude, beliefs, and actions are racist.
You know what takes guts? Existing in a world that hates, devalues, and dehumanizes you every day and still managing to walk out the door and willingly subject yourself to the possibility of being killed or harassed because you can't carve out a life for yourself otherwise. It takes guts to stand up to people like you, knowing that you hold all the power and can get away with this kind of behavior without even trying.
True kindness considers and centers the recipient- Is your perception of kindness even rooted in truth, will your brand of 'kindness' make a tangible change in that person's life or the idea of the human condition? Kindness that is rooted in justice always understands that the act of holding others accountable is that of love and promoting understanding between people. The impact of an act of kindness should always be the focus, not the intent for the giver.
Anyway, TL;DR @wvrlock

Okay for any readers in Japan, South Korea, Israel, the UK, or any other country outside the US who don’t know who Ron DeSantis is, this guy passed anti-immigrant laws, anti-LGBTQIA+ laws, and other agregious laws go against human rights in Florida. Even if you don’t care about what’s going in US politics, this guy is planning to run for President and he’s not gonna care if anything bad happens to you overseas. You think Trump is bad? Ron DeSantis is worse.

Thoughts at 7pm...
I tag my books in Calibre with people and places and things I think will come up again and again across books. 
This can be a slow and agonizing process, but I find that I keep coming back to it over and over again, because I’ll read a book years later that mentions a battle on Hill 488 and think... fuck, what book was it that I read about that from someone else’s perspective?!!?!? 
Tags help with that. 
I don’t tag everything, or everyone... just stuff I have a feeling will come up over and over, and yet for a single book I’ll end up with this:

Retcons and such
In preparation for the upcoming (much-delayed) chapter release, the entire existing set of chapters on ffnet and AO3 has been updated. See below for notes (note the occasional reference to Chapter 64, that will make sense in retrospect):
## Major: ## Ch. 37 - Revamped scene where Mami learns telepathy from Akari to better match Ch. 64 Ch. 30 - Added discussion of Ryouko's teleport from Orpheus to *HSS Zhukov* to the dream interrogation scene, to better hint at how it foreshadows Vol. III developments Ch. 18/19/26/29 - Added some references to limited Ceph use of biological components in large equipment, in order: "communications jammer", tanks, "heavy armored vehicles", "drive cores". ## Minor: ## Ch. 62 - Change description of clothing for dead Blink interdictor squid from "robes" to "tunics", to better match description of squid seen by Yuma in asteroid video Ch. 61 - Add a mention of "metal adornments" to the squid seen by Yuma in the asteroid video, to match the dead Blink interdictor squid found by Ryouko in Ch. 62 Ch. 61 - Changed the *HSS Shelton Mayson* to be the cruiser Jovan Pritchard now commands, rather than the one he served on early in his career (which is now the *HSS Xiao He*) Ch. 60 - Clarified that the simulations of the pulsar mission played with various guesses at how gravity modulators actually operated (to better explain why their effects differ from the real ones later encountered) Ch. 55 - Vlad no longer suspects the aliens are mining space-time at the pulsar before Asami discovers that fact in Ch. 56 Ch. 50 - No longer claimed that Mami was one of the first to develop a power outside her original skillset (telepathy) Ch. 50 - Slightly adjusted opening Akari snippet, Akari-Mami scene, and Mami-Homura scene to match Ch. 64 (Akari is older than originally planned, Mami is younger, "Diplomacy" changed to "Recruitment and Diplomacy", Mami uses mind-reading instead of trace magic to track down the plane bombers, Akari calls Mami "Mami" instead of "Mami-san") Ch. 48 - Yuma no longer misleadingly implies V2 TacComps aren't yet on a new branch of the TCF Ch. 36 - Kyouko no longer says she's never gotten a vision more elaborate than just the Goddess's voice (this contradicted an earlier statement) Ch. 36 - Ryouko now understands why her arbalest's bolt string snapped in her first demon hunt in Ch. 2 (a limit to her ability to manipulate the mouth of the wormholes she uses to teleport - it can't encompass or drag in something too distant) Ch. 30 - Ryouko no longer says she pushed the alien ships through the Orpheus wormhole, but rather that she reformed the wormhole around them Ch. 18 - Remove reference to personal "forcefield emitters" used in the original failed wormhole mission (these are beyond human tech at the moment) Ch. 12 - Clarification on the nature of the North Korea intervention that accompanied the founding of the Black Heart Ch. 7 - Establish Kishida Maki's age as 21 (has always been around there) Ch. 6 - Update first description of blink drives for clarity, particularly around charging time, which is only "hours" for long-distance blinks Ch. 3 - Homura now implies a total magical girl population of ~3 million pre-war, rather than ~1.5 million (the relevant population details were revised in 2012 but never fixed here) ## Very minor: ## Ch. 62 - Corrected date for Arminius snippet, 2161 to 2461 Ch. 61 - Corrected drop-off factor for pulsar's magnetic field from r^2 to r^3 Ch. 53 - Yuma no longer incorrectly describes Shizuki Sayaka's safehouse as having no surveillance Ch. 51 - Vlad no longer reverting back to his full name of Volokhov Ch. 51 - Mami no longer remembers training Akari to be self-sacrificing, to match Ch. 64 Ch. 50 - Mami no longer says she's never seen Kyubey off-Earth, instead just saying that it's rare Ch. 48 - Nadya no longer incorrectly asks about things she already knows Ch. 45 - Change description of forming of Miki Sayaka Middle School, to be instead a combined secondary school, formed in the 2060s instead of the 2070s, in order to match Ch. 17 Ch. 43 - More rigorously define a metric space Ch. 42 - Ryouko no longer remembers considering confronting her mother over her genetic editing, there's too much risk due to the implanted psychic defense Ch. 42 - Mami no longer uses Ryouko's nickname for grief cube packbots, "CubeBot" (Asami has picked up the nickname from Ryouko, however) Ch. 38 - Made implied sexual activity less explicit and more implied (So can set archive warnings on AO3, sorry) Ch. 31 - The planet Bismarck has now suffered multiple planetoid collisions during its formation, rather than just one Ch. 30 - "Eastern Pacific Defense Organization" renamed to "Asiatic and Pacific Defense Organization" Ch. 23 - No longer incorrectly suggested that Erywnmark will be with Feodorovich's fleet instead of with Mami's fleet Ch. 23 - No longer mentions stealth cruisers, which have otherwise never come up, and which could also have been read to incorrectly state that all cruisers are female Ch. 22 - Mami no longer refers to Akari as "too inexperienced", to match Ch. 64 Ch. 21 - Update terminology of alien post-blink period from "blackout" to "malaise" Ch. 17 - Rename "Miki Sayaka High School" to "Miki Sayaka Secondary School", as it encompasses both junior high and senior high school instruction at this point Ch. 15 - Removed reference to Internal Security at Level 2 classification Ch. 13 - In Human Fleet appendix, changed "Frigate" to "Standard Frigate" Ch. 12 - Reduced described size of CubeBot from having a diameter of "third of a meter" to "fifteen centimeters", to match later description Various - Incubators now consistently use full names when referring to people (except certain cases) Various - General Staff leadership position standardized to "Chair of the General Staff" ("Chief of the General Staff" had sometimes been used before) ## General style and proofreading: ##  - Standardized spelling and capitalization for various words and phrases  - Standardized to metric system except in turns of phrase

Description: “NCIS History-Special Agent Vietnam is a comprehensive account of naval counterintelligence and criminal investigations in Vietnam. Doug Hubbard's first-hand experience provides unique insights into this little explored topic of the war, and the addition of a broad spectrum of his photos complements the narrative with a real life appeal. In an era when the term "terrorism" was not yet in vogue, NIS' investigations of insurgent attacks against US troops is a grim reminder of current threats our military faces in Afghanistan and around the globe on a daily basis.” Michael Sulick, Former Director, CIA National Clandestine Service “Although the Viet Nam War gives up its secrets grudgingly, former special agent Douglass Hubbard unveils an intriguing account of U.S. Naval Intelligence operations in the Republic of Vietnam. Drawing on his three years’ service in Vietnam and his subsequent research and interviews, Hubbard weaves a masterful story with 'NCIS History Special Agent Vietnam' that is equally inspiring and frustrating-just as the war itself proved to be.” Colonel Joseph H. Alexander, USMC. (Ret.) author of the Battle History of the U.S. Marines “Doug Hubbard Jr. explores the seamy underside of the Vietnam War from his ‘catbird seat’ as a special agent of the Naval Investigative Service. At the most there were never more than twenty-one of these Naval Intelligence officers serving in-country, and they had to deal with an overload of such unsavory matters as counter espionage, sabotage, black marketing, currency manipulation, simple theft, drug trafficking, subversion, rape, and murder. Sometimes these investigations came to a brilliant resolution that Sherlock Holmes would have applauded. More often they foundered because of command apathy or indifference.” Brigadier General Edwin H. Simmons, USMC, Chief of Staff of the First Marine Division in 1970, former head of the Marine Corps History Branch, and author of Frozen Chosin: US Marines at the Changjin Reservoir “Doug Hubbard’s exposition with NCIS History Special Agent Vietnam defines a period of counterintelligence development in the Vietnam conflict and records its events for the first time. Compiled personal recollections of wartime special agents make this historical narrative a defining work in the legacy left by the group of Naval Intelligence professionals who devised rules for counterintelligence and force protection in the challenging and dangerous arena of Vietnam in the 1960s. Theirs was a monumental contribution to the U.S. government’s efforts to achieve stability in the Republic of Vietnam, particularly in the early days of the mission when much was accomplished by a select few.” Maynard C. Anderson, former Assistant Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Security Policy
Review - It was a decent book with a lot of historical information on the Vietnam War and NIS's members. The main problem with the book was how light it was on actual cases vs pages and pages of commentary of who was assigned when and where. Another major issue were the multiple misspellings (Viet Congo is a common one) and repeated paragraphs. It's not unreadable, but it had issues. But for the historical information, and a few insights into deserters, fraggings, and a few interesting cases, it's worth a read.

one thing I always found sooo fun (/s) about the CH fandom was how willing some people were to humanize and sillyfy the fucking axis powers but absolutely demonized countries like cuba, china and north korea to the infth degree. sure it’s not everyone but you can see what the problem is here right? I just think it’s worrying the lengths people went to make a fucking nazi the poorest saddest most innocent little baby in the world while making fucking north korea be the genocidal maniac. honestly.

South Korea close to acquiring 20 more F-35A fighters
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 06/29/2022 - 08:00 AM in Military
The subcommittee of the South Korean Defense Project Promotion Committee endorsed a basic proposal to buy about 20 F-35A Lightning II fighter jets.
The defense purchasing subpanel gave its nod of approval to a 3.9 trillion won project to introduce new F-35A poachers on June 9, Yonhap news agency reported citing authorities.
These aircraft will be manufactured by the American defense company Lockheed Martin from 2023 to the mid-2020s.

The approval came at a time when the conservative government Yoon Suk-yeol is striving to strengthen defense capabilities to combat North Korea's nuclear and missile threats, the report said.
The Southern armed forces completed the deployment of 40 F-35As in January under their first project to acquire fifth-generation warplanes. He plans to add more to the current F-35A fleet under the second planned project.
The proposal will probably be presented at a full session of the committee scheduled for July 13, according to the authorities. If approved, the Administration of the State Defense Acquisition Program (DAPA) plans to conduct a feasibility study and other follow-up procedures.
