How are Netanyahu's polls numbers now? Enough to finally send him to jail? No? Launch more.

All the laser pointers in the room suddenly shutting off at Harry Lee Hall would be hysterical

There's a DHS laser operator in El Paso just begging to deploy and shut down flights from Lindbergh Field, to John Waybe, to LAX.

Half of me wants to see that so I can laugh my ass off and the other half says "go with God..."

No shit and not a word of a lie, I once picked my promotion board photo based on the fact that the studio lighting cast a shadow on my crotch that implied a massive unit. I got promoted and imagined the surprise if the board only knew.

We have binders full of other empty binders for our concepts.

3 card monty is the actual game, not chess. Once that pattern is clear, you realize the plan is a con to obfuscate other things.

Don't confuse underinformed people who gulp air and take up space in the DoN with actual navalists.

When breaking things and killing turns from military to the diplomatic option or more military things for occupation. Rick Scott this morning kept confusing diplomacy with appeasement so I can see their problem comprehending the options.

Listening to Rick Scott interviewed by Kate Baldwin this morning was such an exercise in obviously stupid talking points I nearly cried when she didn't smack his lobs like MacEnroe on a toddler. Danger to the public gets a media enabler when an obvious follow-up is avoided.

The line between anti-intellectual and anti-any form of basic intelligence is very blurry.

The scale of the enterprise let's them nurse their broken part of they system and collective action is discentivized as an institutional process until you have to execute a global conflict, which historically, takes 3 years to get it together. Too late.

And at the outcomes we are looking at, the person making those decisions, ironically is a 3/4 star or Senate confirmed position who is at the end of their career. Conversely, they don't know another way & can't grasp maritime vs naval as the needed framework to execute a systemic reform.

The people who claim descent from Confucious have a lot of explaining to do.

Sen Scott on CNN: I believe Russia is helping Iran. They are liars.

Witkoff: The Russians said they aren't helping Iran. I take them at their word.

What has caused the most damage to the US Navy since WWII? MINES!

More importantly, for commercial shipping, this threat will keep them in port, inside the Strait of Hormuz, and prevent any ship from running it, without the Navy first demonstrating it is cleared.

Everyone, there is no need to panic about mines.

The Navy has kept four mine countermeasure vessels in the Persian Gulf for the past 35 years.

WAIT...what is that?

The minesweepers just arrived in the US to be decommissioned, but we have 3 Littoral Combat Ships (LCSs) that took their place.

Please tell me this wasn't a Marine, because it makes the case that we should've kept CAOCL.

I just still love the fact that they bought the Brahmos in part to tell the U.S. that they'll do what they want for sea denial and not be subject to end use agreements for U.S. manufactured systems.

Look, I am not about promoting this but there are some interesting reasons to put a fires and/or air defense EAB out in the world between Iran and some shipping.

They have a habit of blaming staffers about media posts in this Admin don't they?

We have uncontrolled Tomahawks running around in the world ready for some false flag operation? You'd think some super secret operation would be going down to recover that. There isn't? Why not? Because its a made up BS by a President lying to the public? We're doing something about that? Okay.

Half joking, but the power plants are traditionally very touchy and there are 2 guys left who know how to run them. That is my round about way of saying, I wish I knew.
