“We won’t be first, but we will respond in kind.”
Given the state of our current government and military, I am not sanguine about the will or capability to “respond in kind”.
Everyday we are inundated with propaganda from every side.
Choosing what to believe or not believe, whether sanguine or uncertain, is for us all to decide.
I don’t believe much of what I hear from anyone nowadays.
Even people posting here have agendas, narratives, and points to make, often clothed in insults and viscousness, innuendo and above all politics.
It’s not up to will was my whole point. Things have put in place decades ago that remain ready to fire. These systems were put in place to avoid a wavering political nondecision. For all the political talk, one doesn’t see changes. It’s not like diversity decided to look at a particular missile warning satellite or sensor site.
Anyway, my statement stands.
M.A.D. It is, after all, the only thing we have going to ensure it doesn’t happen.
