A new directives theme: The U.S. Armed Forces must show resilience and beat back the threat based on actionable science.

The Pentagon is ordering the top brass to incorporate climate change into virtually everything they do, from testing weapons to training troops to war planning to joint exercises with allies.

A new directives theme: The U.S. Armed Forces must show resilience and beat back the threat based on“actionable science.

The Pentagon defines resilience to climate change as: Ability to anticipate, prepare for, and adapt to changing conditions and withstand, respond to, and recover rapidly from disruptions.

To four-star generals and admirals, among them the regional combatant commanders who plan and fight the nations wars, the directive tells them: Incorporate climate change impacts into plans and operations and integrate DoD guidance and analysis in Combatant Command planning to address climate change-related risks and opportunities across the full range of military operations, including steady-state campaign planning and operations and contingency planning.

Good commanders already prioritize climate change - they rain hell down on America’s enemies (with the exception of America’s most dangerous enemy, and they just pray for America to survive these final terrible and dangerous 343 days under that petty tyrant).

That's pretty much going to leave us with NO military in the interim. His purge over the past 8 years has been pretty thorough.

Climate (3) the prevailing attitudes, standards, or environmental conditions of a group, period, or place:

Pretty sure climate change has been a priority of the DoD for some time.

How is the military supposed to incorporate a hoax into their operations? What exactly are they supposed to pretend?

Meanwhile back at the ranch.

Russia is busy rewriting the rules of war without consideration for the planet.

Russia has established new rules of engagement on the Syrian-Turkish border, and has retained the upper hand for the Syrian air force and the Syrian army, Russia also refurbished and upgraded custom made Syrian MiG29SMT, to protect the Russian air force squadrons, with clear orders to shoot down Turkish planes that enter the Syrian air space

Our President Fumblebutt has an IQ somewhat below that of a cooked carrot.

One of our local agencies purchased a flat screen monitor using federal grant funds. It was going to be mounted indoors, on a conference room wall. They had to submit an environmental impact statement. About 30 pages of crap.

Again, not a Rubio supporter, but this isn’t incompetence, this is deliberate.

Reminds me of the bridge massacre in Faluja.

Enough shivers for today.
