Blame every President since Reagan until Trump.

They gutted the military for more useless welfare programs that pay off their voters and enrich themselves through NGOs and state programs we know are over 50% fraudulent.

It is all they have. People who have been fired or forced to resign. It always reminds me of Allen Dulles. He was forced to resign as head of CIA by JFK and soon, JFK was assassinated.

Then Dulles is put on the mighty corrupt Warren Commission to tell us how the man who forced him out was killed.

Phelan notes that only the Navy circumvents the seas as a maritime protector.

I don't believe “circumvents” is anywhere near the appropriate term.

Former Sec. under who? That will define his credibility.

The correct warning should be that conventional surface combatants are obsolete. The sea lanes will be protected and dominated by swarms of pilot less drones directed by satellite, redundant GPS guidance. Those drones will torment and sink surface combatants. They will be directed by nerds sitting in fortified bunkers behind a console as if they were playing a video game. The future has already arrived. Witness how useless our pricey frigates, destroyers and guided missile cruisers are when keeping the Strait of Hormuz open. The Iranians are able to defacto close it using relatively rudimentary drones. Those drones in the future will be more accurate, more stealthy and more lethal. Whoever has the best drones, best engineers and guidance systems will control the sea. DEI won’t save us.

Check the MIC boards he sits on and you’ll uncover who wrote this garbage for him.

This is nothing more than a hit piece to smear and denigrate President Trump.

I partially agree with the premise. But the bigger issue is us playing the world’s cop.
