John Phelan was not thinking creatively enough for the Iran war? Just my guess. Lets see what Hung Cao can do.
This is crunch time.

This is the third Cabinet Secretary to leave this month.

Is there a problem?

Just a hedge fund guy with no military background whatsoever, big donor, friend of Epstein. Why the hell was he ever navy secretary to begin with?

I think I read Phelan was on some Epstein list.

Iran can get stuff by rail from China and via the Caspian Sea from Russia.

Iran has about 90 million people and its domestic gasoline market is about as big as that of New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia combined.

Is this what you do when you are winning? Because everyone on here says we are winning.

Who could have ever guessed that this would turn into much more cost than benefit? …..at least more for MY country. Certain other countries are definitely getting more benefit than cost.

I follow this guy on Twitter, who has been a big advocate of more shipbuilding etc., has significant contacts in the Navy, Pentagon etc.

He has been both critical and approving of Phelan. This is his summary of what Phelan accomplished in 15 months (a lot) and what Phelan was falling short on.

Not a description of why Phelan was fired, but a good summary. And a good picture of the current status of the Navy, esp shipbuilding
