Adapt. Cope. This week on the Carry On Podcast, we break down how the Sudan Civil War is becoming a preview of future warfare — where cheap drones, irregular forces, and decentralized combat redefine the battlefield. Brad covers: • How drones are transforming internal conflicts like Sudan • Why low-cost UAVs are reshaping asymmetric warfare • The rise of irregular warfare tactics • U.S. firearms headlines and the political violence debate • What happens when technology outpaces policy and law The addition of drones to civil wars isn’t a temporary trend — it’s the new normal. From Khartoum to Washington, the rules of conflict are shifting. Technology is democratizing power. Institutions are struggling to keep up.

I Think We’re Closer to a U.S.– China War Than We Admit - SITREP - Carry On Podcast

This week’s SITREP is a deep strategic dive into Taiwan — not just the headlines, but the history, the fault lines, and the real-world military pathways that could pull the United States and China into open conflict. We break down: • The Trump–Xi summit and the red line around Taiwan • Why a blockade is more likely than a D-Day invasion • How gray-zone warfare is already shaping the battlefield • Japan and the Philippines’ unavoidable role • Semiconductor leverage and global economic shock • What a U.S.–China war would actually look like in phases This isn’t cable news analysis. This is strategic reality. Taiwan is not just an island. It’s the pressure point between American deterrence and Chinese reunification. The real question isn’t whether China wants Taiwan. The real question is whether the United States is prepared to pay the cost to stop it. Stay informed. Stay grounded.

China’s Military Purge: Strength… or Hidden Rot? - SITREP - Carry On Podcast

Support the mission and get exclusive content at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/bradicemancolbert [https://www.patreon.com/c/bradicemancolbert] Improvise. Adapt. Go. Two former Chinese defense ministers were sentenced to death with reprieve. Not colonels. Not bureaucrats. Defense ministers. This week’s Carry On Podcast SITREP breaks down what this purge really means for China’s military modernization, the Rocket Force, and Xi Jinping’s control of the PLA. Is this proof of weakness — or preparation? We examine: • Corruption inside China’s missile and procurement systems • Whether the PLA is modern… but brittle • The 2027 Taiwan benchmark and what’s at stake • How authoritarian purges reshape military readiness • Why fear can both discipline and paralyze an officer corps Then we pivot to: • The strategic reactivation of Tinian and the Northern Mariana Islands • Why distributed Pacific basing matters in a Taiwan scenario • Iran’s ethnic fault lines and regime survival architecture • What a theoretical U.S. ground invasion of Iran would actually look like Mountains. Missiles. Militias. Modernization. This isn’t headline analysis. It’s structural. Stay informed. Stay grounded.

The War Powers Act Is Failing — And Here’s Why! - SITREP - Carry On Podcast

Support the mission and get exclusive content at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/bradicemancolbert [https://www.patreon.com/c/bradicemancolbert] Improvise. Adapt. Go. This week on the Carry On Podcast, Brad breaks down a hard truth: The War Powers Resolution of 1973 was designed to prevent another Vietnam. Instead, it became a manual for executive maneuvering. From Lebanon to Kosovo… From Iraq to Libya… From ISIS to Iran… Presidents of both parties have learned how to: • Avoid the word “hostilities” • Stretch old authorizations • Convert funding into consent • Use coalition cover • Pause conflicts to stop the clock • Classify the threat and move anyway This episode walks through 50 years of precedent and explains how constitutional war-making quietly drifted into permanent discretionary force. We also examine: • Russia’s co-orbital anti-satellite maneuvering • The gray-zone fight in space • And the Marine Corps’ new powered paraglider capability — a strange but smart adaptation for contested littoral warfare This isn’t partisan. It’s institutional. If war powers matter — this conversation matters. Stay informed. Stay grounded.

Deterrence or Drift? The Test of American Power - SITREP - Carry On Podcast

Support the mission and get exclusive content at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/bradicemancolbert [https://www.patreon.com/c/bradicemancolbert] Improvise. Adapt. Go. In this episode of the Carry On Podcast, Brad breaks down a growing strategic concern: the gap between American military capability and perceived political resolve. The United States still fields overwhelming power. The question is whether adversaries believe it will be used. This episode explores: • The difference between capability and credibility • Alliance reassurance vs. alliance doubt • Escalation control and political hesitation • How adversaries test thresholds without crossing them • The strategic cost of ambiguity • Whether deterrence is holding — or eroding Deterrence is not just about weapons systems. It’s about belief. If competitors sense hesitation, miscalculation becomes more likely. If allies sense drift, alliances strain. This episode looks at where American power stands today — and whether perception is becoming the real battlefield. Stay informed. Stay grounded.
