Man, we could sure use some mean Tweets about now.

You only end up in a war when you lose deterrence. The sub deal with Australia is meaningless if they don’t get the subs until 2040. We are apparently decommissioning some Los Angeles class subs early, leaving seven or more years on their clocks. We could instead, refurbish them and furnish them to Australia. You might wonder why we’d do that instead of simply keeping them under American control. It has to do with Australian buy-in. We’re asking them, 25 million people, to be on the front lines while we are half a world away from the action. That’s a big ask.

None of this would be going down the way it is now if Trump was the president. Mean Tweets are amazingly effective; more so than someone who can’t make it through a single speech even with a teleprompter. You’d never hear Trump read from the teleprompter, “Now, just turn around and leave.”

When did Biden say this?

“Now, just turn around and leave.”

I must have missed that one.

***These ARE the mean tweets. The mean tweets come from CHINA, our ENEMIES, and our politicians blaming US rather than outward from Trump blaming those who really WERE responsible. It’s a topsy-turvy world.
