On the contrary - I despise them at least equally.

Me too Joe... me too.

Rather like Thomas Jefferson or Ben Franklin dancing a reel for Louis XVI? Truly hilarious. Of course we are a great power now and above such desperation aren't we.

It was my understanding Franklin's time with his pants around his ankles was with his paramours.

A comedian who becomes a politician in the days of YouTube can provide all types of entertainment.

Remember that Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt met 11 times in person during WW2.

I see that Brandon has joined the anti-Israel propaganda campaign full on. What did that take... two months? What an ally! No surprise after calling for a ceasefire practically since day one after Oct 7. No surprise either after 8 years of training and gathering a political support base as BHO's VP.

Also, the new word for '23, maybe 24', should be "lawfare". But the underlying meaning with MO should be familiar to anyone with a brain and memory. Remember BHO's favorite saying from the beginning of his self-proclaimed journey to transform America, "I've got a pen and a phone".

to build on his message that China is still not 100% on par with the US Navy.

China does not have the naval warfare history that the U.S. Navy has. Which matters.

He is a little dated in his Naval weapons technology knowledge. Or he is being responsible with sharing his knowledge. Which is a good thing either way.

Not as bad as Winston Churchill had in 1940.

Exactly, history as a naval power matters a great deal indeed. It is one reason they are taking so long trying to come to grips with naval aviation. The Russians finally gave up.

This is in the open press, and has been announced by both DOD and the US Army. Unlike the supposed Russian hypersonic missile which isn't, this one truly can't be intercepted by any near horizon technology.

Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon System, US

The Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) is a land-based, truck-launched weapon system capable of firing long-range hypersonic missiles.

The Army Has Finally Revealed The Range Of Its New Hypersonic Weapon

The missile's range would've violated a now-defunct treaty with Russia and this disclosure comes amid criticism of its utility in the Pacific region.

And this is the navy version which is running a year or so behind the Army. Both, when fielded, can sweep the seas of surface combatants or destroy high value command and control nodes.

Navy’s hypersonic launcher is headed to flight testing next year

Lockheed Martin's $1.2 billion hypersonic missile contract includes the development of a ship-based launcher and flight tests next year.

Nothing really new is it? In Suez in 1957, the 6-Day War in 1967, and the Yom Kippur War in 1973 the US forced Israel to the negotiating table to end the conflict. That would have been under two republican and one democrat administration.

Got to love the digs (very accurate ones) at both the Obama and Trump administrations with respect to strategic decision making.

You’ve got to love the US defense industry. They keep us two steps ahead of the rest of the world. I for one do not begrudge the profit they make in keeping our nation at the forefront.

Most people also have no idea those huge enterprises operate at only around 12% profit margin.

And so was the Declaration of Independence before your time and our taxes are still paying for that too.
