Can you handle the truth? A fantastic must-read from the great @SpencerGuard:

Underground warfare remains one of the most understudied aspects of military operations (urban warfare a close second). Check out this 1969 U.S. Army training video for Vietnam. youtube.com/watch?v=R1wsbwdi… Despite the U.S. military experience with over a thousand miles of NVA/VC tunnels in Vietnam. The Army school was closed, no expertise was maintained. Did you know one of the main reasons the U.S. military can't use tear gas as a form of warfare today is based on how it was used to deal with tunnels in Vietnam (watch the video, pumped into them) which drove a debate in the Senate and us eventually signing the Riot Control Act treaty. We have ceded the underground to enemies like China, North Korea, Iran...non-state actors like Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis. In Gaza the IDF saw what no army has ever seen. In Southern Lebanon. The story of the frontline in Ukraine is as much about both Ukraine and Russia digging tunnels, underground highways/hospitals/drone factories as it is drones. Yes, the @IDF have developed some of the world's leading capabilities and expertise, to include counter-tunneling cooperation with the U.S., but it is still limited. What little doctrine/capability that exists today in the U.S. military is about how to enter and clear a tunnels. But with the lethality of the modern battlefield the future is not just our adversaries going underground, but the necessity for us to dominate that domain from every aspect of force protection, maneuver, offense, defense. @PalmerLuckey @yadinsoffer @wolfejosh @traysartech @sgblank

John Spencer, a great patriot, explains what the media, the Democrats/Marxists/Islamists and the Woke Reich isolationists do not want you to know.  Well worth reading and sharing. spencerguard.substack.com/p/…

Back to the Hezbollah “ceasefire” tracker - what did the last 48 hours look like? 💥 Over 50 rockets and killer drones fired at IDF troops. 💥 2 more barrages into Israeli territory, sending Israeli citizens to bomb shelters. 💥 Multiple encounters with Hezbollah terrorists moving back to the South Lebanon sector. This is not what ceasing fire looks like. As long as Hezbollah keeps attacking Israel, like any other country, we will defend ourselves.

1/7 Short🧵with photos & case studies attached. Current events have thrown into sharp focus the need to understand urban warfare & its historical lessons learned. May I suggest the following case studies from the @WarInstitute written by @SpencerGuard, @LiamSCollins & myself.

🚨BREAKING: A potential U.S.-Iran peace deal may be on the horizon, with negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program expected to begin soon. But a new report suggests Iran was also preparing for a possible ground operation involving its enriched uranium. @MaxGordenTV details the latest.

"American companies partner with Israeli firms because they recognize the value of that innovation cycle. American military organizations gain access to technologies, expertise, and operational insights that would be expensive and often impossible to reproduce on their own"

“War will never be a hard science, it is too multidisciplinary … Soldiers, historians & strategists built foundational theories & principles drawn from battlefield historical analysis, experimentation, and experience over centuries”

General Keane spot on as always. “This is who they are…Hezbollah must move north of the litani river or we don’t have a deal…must have compliance…this is about changing the regimes behavior”

Maybe the most surprising thing about the subterra warfare domain is how it’s always been right there. Not new. It’s a status quo we learned to live with. An accepted asymmetric weakness. That’s why simply saying “not anymore” is already a leap forward.

“At my direction, the United States Southern Command delivered a swift and lethal kinetic strike to successfully execute Niño Guerrero, the infamous leader of Tren De Aragua, one of the most bloodthirsty Terrorist Organizations on Planet Earth.” - President DONALD J. TRUMP 🇺🇸

Iran launched multiple one-way attack drones in an attempt to strike commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. forces have downed all of them in recent hours as traffic flow through the strait continues unimpeded. The international trade corridor remains open for transit.

Many forget how dire Britain’s decline was in the 1970s—economic stagnation, union paralysis, and national malaise. It took Margaret Thatcher to break the grip of the socialist state, revive the economy, rebuild British strength, and stand alongside Ronald Reagan in defeating the Soviet Union. Britain needs another Thatcher.

“The underground tunnel village where Vietnamese people lived for years to hide from war” @CNN 1 mile of tunnels, Cu Chi had about 155 miles, Saigon-Gia Dinh region 300 miles, compare that to over 500-600 miles in Gaza. cnn.com/2026/06/12/travel/vi… @yadinsoffer @traysartech The tunnels span over a mile and and every tiny part of the complex was made for survival. It’s estimated that around 400 people called the tunnels home from 1965 to 1972, and today’s tours show visitors their everyday life. “Daily routines were structured around survival,” says Văn Ngọc Vũ. “People remained underground during the day and emerged at night to farm, fish, and gather supplies.” “Tunnel exits were essential to the system’s functionality,” says Văn Ngọc Vũ.. “They provided ventilation, emergency escape routes, and access to external resources.” Thirteen of them linked the complex to farmland and the sea. “Coastal exits enabled discreet supply operations to Cồn Cỏ Island, facilitating the logistics,” he adds. Wells were dug to provide fresh water, and exits on opposite sides provided cross-ventilation. The complex is laid out in three levels, from 50 feet below ground to 75 feet, with narrow and low tunnels widening out into larger communal rooms. Niches in the walls acted as sleeping spaces for individual families.

“Military Science and the Intellectual Foundations of War,” my latest @smallwars Military science is not guesswork. It is the accumulated study of war built by soldiers, historians, statesmen, & theorists over centuries of conflict. Ones we all should read smallwarsjournal.com/2026/06…

This is a crucial essay by @SpencerGuard on the US-Israel strategic relationship. Israel without a doubt benefits immensely from this relationship, but so does the US
