Thought For The Day - 5/14/2020

Wisdom from The Saker:

... most of the US military is in a terminal state of disrepair.

Let’s look at the various services one by one:
  • The USN‘s entire surface fleet is now compromised due to its carrier-centric structure. The USN also lacks modern cruise missiles. Entire classes of surface ships are now either outdated (frigates) or have major design failures (LCS).
  • The USAF flies mostly Cold War jets, often modernized, but all in all, it is an outdated fleet, especially when compared to Russian or Chinese 4th++ and 5th generation aircraft. In fact, the absolute disaster of the F-35 program means that for the first time in its history the US aircraft will be qualitatively outgunned by its likely adversaries. Even US AWACS and other reconnaissance aircraft are now threatened by Russian and Chinese very long range anti-air missiles (both ground and air launched).
  • As for the US Army and Marine Corps, the embarrassing disasters in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere prove that the US ground forces are basically only able to protect themselves, and even that not very well.
  • Then there are the recently created Space Forces which exist only on paper and the US Coast Guard which is basically irrelevant in a major war.

Let's not forget the fact "our" mostly useless military has been spending our nation into bankruptcy, with little to show for it except mountains of dead bodies of people who posed little or no threat to our nation.

Shut them down, reinvest the money in the future of We the People.

And not a penny for Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, etc. They've already got enough of our money.
