Spooky

 


Spooky? Yes indeed, and that's just the yard ornaments in this bucolic north central Texan farming community. Then there's carrier groups getting into position for what could be the next Big One, associated pre-deployment warning orders, ongoing slaughter in Ukraine, accelerating debt which can never be paid back, an abhorrent, corrupt, malfeasant, self-serving clown show inside the Beltway, and on.

Scary as you like and then some. That in mind, do you remember TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome, in which crazed Leftists, our beloved Uniparty, and pretty much everyone in the UK shrieked that evil plutocrat, Nazi, Russian spy, tyrant Trump would crash the economy and start World War III. Remember that?




Sure you do and my, how that worm's turned, not that Queers For Palestine will notice until they're drafted or thrown off tall buildings by the nearest Trans Hamas Theater Collective. But speaking of conscription and going full kinetic, how long would it take for the US to ramp up manufacturing to supply an industrial war? Serious question. 

Europe, obviously, isn't in the game, its countries barely have armed forces capable of the kind of action seen in the Ukraine for more than a couple of weeks. Welfare for votes + no factories = no tanks, no ammo, to put it simply. They've been gambling, rainbow foolishly, on never, ever having to fight another major war ever again. Looks to me like that hand's about to fold. But hey, go ahead and ask the Monkey.




The US? We're still the real deal, I think; US = NATO, and if you can tell me what it means I'll join. But still, imagine ChiCom/Russkie/Iranian hypersonics sink a couple of our carriers. Pearl Harbor level disaster. Now, how long would it take us to recreate our shipbuilding capability to replace them? Good question. China, meanwhile, has an estimated shipbuilding capacity 200 times greater than ours. Maybe our Beloved Rulers decide to go nuclear at that point and evac to the nearest private island.




And so we're back where we started, spooky. My advice, for what it's worth, is this. Get right with God and make it a matter of personal urgency.

Your Pal,

Good advice.

Do you have to be sexually deviated to support the Palestinians? Maybe it helps because those groups seem to be the terrorist's main supporters. How does this happen?

One day you're walking to the Pick-and-Steal with your faithful dog on a leash thinking on how good a BBQ steak would go down in the afternoon and BANG, you decide to take a walk on the wild side, start grazing on the weeds roadside and you can't stop thinking how much you love Palestine?

I'm just curious, never having had the urge to (1) walk on the wild side, (2) eat weeds, or (3) love Palestinians.

Maybe if you voted Democrat it would start the ball rolling?

If I recall right, there is only one shipyard slip left in the US that can build a carrier. And it takes I think 5 years if not more to build one. I think there is also just one such that still build submarines which may be why a lot of our submarines are getting pretty aged.

Of course, this problem has been helped a bit by Obama. One of the few good things he did as President was to convince Japan, S. Korea, Australia, Great Britain, and hell maybe Mexico and Canada to build aircraft carriers. He did this by proving to them that the US with a Democrat in the White House is no ally worth being mentioned.

@LL...seems that way, or more likely ignorant of facts and reality due to too much college.

Send them over, 1st Class ticket w/ beverage service and a meal...they'd last about 30 seconds before peeing in their $150 jeans. Likely believe The Magical Mr O's personal chef drowned because he fell off his paddle board on MarthaQuiddick.
