The headline should be that China can’t keep up with our diversity programs./s
Notice how regardless of how much we borrow, how many people die, how many lies are told, Raytheon ALWAYS comes out aces.
We have 4 times China’s military budget, yet we can’t keep up with their warship building? We must be prioritizing other things.
Unbelievable!
These rotten communist bastards have intentionally shut down our military capability for the future...
No new ships...
Faggots, trannies, and LGBT perverts crewing our current ships...
Faggots, trannies, and LGBT perverts in the Army & Marine Corps digging strange foxholes...
Faggots, trannies, LGBTs, and women as pilots & ground personnel...
Faggots, trannies, and LGBT perverts running planning and operations in the Pentagon...
Stingers and Javelins are not relevant in a war with China.
If you think that’s bad there is an annual production hard cap on Hellfire missiles.
I won’t say how I know, I know for fact, but they can’t “ramp up” production in times of national emergency, a war where our allies want to scoop up extras, the cap is the cap is the cap.
We could ripple fire our annual production in a week’s worth of AH-64 sorties.
Sounds like he’s just begging for more money
Some 30 years ago I recall a lecture at the Naval Postgraduate School of China’s shipbuilding expansion plans.
Should China kick our naval asses, our Dept of Defense bureaucracy has no excuse.
But, of course, there’s no accountability . . . just lavish salaries and pensions for the guilty.
Thanks FJB!
Well, maybe if we didn’t spend so much on pervert politics, throw money down the “global warming” black hole, and throw away still more money on illegal aliens, there might be enough money to buy warships and airplanes.
Perhaps if we had not spent all that time building a disposable fleet of LCS (little crappy ships) we wouldn’t be in this sticky wicket.
We had about a dozen yards at one point. Then BRAC.
We have lots of woke and trans sailors so China should tremble.
Japan needs to rapidly follow de Gaulle’s force de frappe lead. de Gaulle did not trust the American guarantee. He questioned whether an American president would go total commitment and kill 100 million Americans to save Paris. The American guarantees in the Pacific could not be more hollow. Japan needs a credible nuclear retaliatory capability with a Japanese finger on the button of these Japanese missiles. Nothing else will deter a 21st century China.
That part is true. Trump tried to do something about that. One of the reasons he made so many enemies.
No. It is the 10% that counts.
I assume Jeff has passed but I don’t recall seeing a thread about it.
$200 billion for Uke corruption. Some of the Uke pensions we’re paying are going to Biden, Inc. retired Uke oligarch stooges. Gotta take care of those friendly Uke prosecutors golden parachuted courtesy of our grandchildren’s tab.
It’s a good thing then that Hellfires and Apaches aren’t very relevant in a Naval war vs China either.
There is no such thing as a “hard cap” for anything. It’s a matter of adding production capacity or minor redesign to replace obsolete components, which is a chronic problem with much US equipment. Such ongoing tweaks are massively burdened with process and bureaucracy however.
50 million is not a stretch given "eleven million" mantra has been the mantra for the last 30 years. We invited and imported 2 million just last year.
