Sometimes I think about how the entire history of the advancement of human weapons can be boiled down to: “we found more elaborate ways to hit things with rocks…”

Spears? Sharpened rocks.

Slingshot? Ranged rocks.

Arrows? Sharpened rocks with range.

Hammers/Clubs? Refined rocks.

Swords/axes? Sharpened refined rocks.

Guns? Sharpened, refined rocks, propelled by explosives…

We discovered how to make explosives, and we fine tuned that technology to better propel refined and sharpened rocks at insane distances… we are still hitting things with rocks… we just became experts in the science of hitting things with rocks… The human race is basically just a “dump everything into geology” build…

There is no doubt that Ukraine will win the war with Russia. I am concerned about the price this country will pay for the victory. How to reduce it - it is enough for France, Germany and the rest of Europe to provide more modern weapons

Scorpion – Dual Handed Golok with Sheath

No need to carry a machete & an axe. It will do both jobs! Historically, the Golok was developed in Southeast Asia, where they remain very popular today. Specifically noted for being the pattern the British Army used for its British Special Forces. Great for cutting thick vegetation without getting stuck in the chopping material, the thick and tough blade is crafted from 1095 high carbon steel which is sharpened and tempered to 57 HRc. This large machete is crafted as tough as possible with a full tang construction with two grip scales of micarta composite. With a long enough handle for leverage and the ability to be used with one or two hands, this Golok is tough and ready for the toughest of outdoor survivalist action.

An exclusive offering created by collaboration by Scorpion and Kult of Athena! The Tactical Messer which is purpose built for the cutting, cleaving and hacking asunder the toughest of targets with callous ease. The blade is crafted from 1095 high carbon steel which has been expertly tempered to a 57 HRc hardness. The darkened and blued blade is wide and quite adept and chopping into and splitting apart a target with its wide blade and thick spine which gives it plenty of mass to power it through the strike with grievous force. The Tactical Messer is made as robustly as is possible with its blade and tang being made from a single solid piece and is finished with composite grip scales which are solidly riveted directly to the tough blade tang.

Included is a leather sheath with a belt loop for wear.

Speed, sensors, and all that shared signal ten modern weapons systems, but not the way you expect. Low observable jets, digital tanks, watch all drones… and defenses built to talk back. What changes when firepower isn’t the whole story? Take a second look at the platforms shaping today’s battlefield.

Battle of the Statues

Battle of the Statues

The battle of the statues is now global. Its most recent episode began in Bristol, United Kingdom, where the statue of slave trader Edward Colston was brought down in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter uprising sparked by the police killing of George Floyd in the US. It then quickly spread to the US and the rest of Europe.

In the US, the battle…
