Their votes are meaningless absent even the willingness of an Ernst, Tillis or other R to stand up. Stop blaming them for this.

Yeah. Even the USN isn't doing that. I wonder why?

Persian Corbett is showing you what a "fleet in being" made up of drones and rHib boats can do in a narrow maritime environment.

Similarly, Persian Clausewitz is showing the world what a center of gravity is....

America’s Kwantung Army Iran, Civil-Military Relations, and the Strategic Vortex of CENTCOM

Kwantung Army HQ neither "begs" nor "borrows."

They flat up steal resources meant for other COCOMs and built around other MRCs.

We were warned.

Well, I guess we can rely on the other half of the NCA to stop #TraitorDon from using the nukes....

equally amazing is the abject willingness of GOFOs to continue to debase themselves in the service of this guy.

Yeah. It's almost like the adversary thinks about these possibilities & acts to maximize effects.

So, who is asking these questions?
Who *will* ask these questions?
ISTM that any asked, much less any answered, are not being shared with the public.

Methinks by the time we get to a "next Den Admin," our sprawling global footprint will be shrunken by "allies" who view it in their interest for us to go home.
That alone will free up lots of existing to spend on replacing munitions stocks.

At least that's was the thinking 25 years ago.

The Tanker War The impact of minesβ€”and mine countermeasuresβ€”in the 1980s Persian Gulf showdown offers potent lessons for today’s Marine Corps.

Read theory.

First convoy had a tanker and it hit a mine.

Later, so did a FFG.

State level officials need to be working hard on region level coordination of public health, safety, and antiterrorism. Some regional anti-corruption (RICO) &education consortium efforts too.

DoJ, DHS, HHS, DoE are not coming back in any meaningful way.
