4 C’s drive Biden administration’s first Naval strategic guidance (Guess them??)
AMN ^ | 10/17/21 | Caitlin Kenney

The “Four C’s: China, Culture, Climate Change, and COVID” are the naval services’ “most pressing” challenges, Carlos Del Toro writes in his first strategic guidance as the Biden administration’s first Navy secretary. But just one of them is the “pacing challenge” that should be the focus of planning and spending.

“The People’s Republic of China represents the pacing challenge against which we must plan our warfighting strategies and investments,” Del Toro wrote in his new strategic guidance. “For the first time in at least a generation, we have a strategic competitor who possesses naval capabilities that rival our own, and who seeks to aggressively employ its forces to challenge U.S. principles, partnerships, and prosperity.”

Released on Thursday, the guidance is meant to bring the Navy and Marine Corps together with a common vision from the new Navy secretary as well as the Biden administration’s other priorities like COVID and climate change, said Bryan Clark, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, who participated in a workshop to help develop the guidance.

Climate Change — rising sea levels might sink our ships.

Climate Change...

I well remember Obama telling my son’s graduating class at West Point, whose cadets went thru four years of watching recent graduates and peers die or lose limbs fighting for this country that the most pressing challenge of the Army was climate change.

Followed by cutting spending...

“For the first time in at least a generation, we have a strategic competitor who possesses naval capabilities that rival our own, and who seeks to aggressively employ its forces to challenge U.S. principles, partnerships, and prosperity.” ‘


“And with the loss of 25% of the Navy’s personnel it will be a real challenge, but we are at least leaning down without free thinkers, Christians, deplorables and other anti-vaxers. who have held us back from achieving a socially responsible, diverse and balanced force. Let China bluster and make super weapons, our new leaner, kinder, Navy will make them tremble!”

I thought it was Command, Control, and Communications?
This conclusively shows what is wrong with the the current administration and our military.
If a general was worrying about COVID or Climate Change, I’d have him out of there so fast... I would reactivate a DEW station just to keep him out the way.

“”But just one of them is the “pacing challenge” that should be the focus of planning and spending.””

“pacing challenge”? Did we or at least I miss the classes when all the new acceptable words in government speak were taught? Must be a new dictionary in the works by now. Can hardly wait!

4Cs?

The Navy's PTB foresee nothing, which is ironic because to join the Navi is to see the world.

The sailor's warning was given in the context of the prophet Jonas.

Jonah = "dove", same as this name.

Another weird thing... remember the Navy slogan (introduced in 2009) that was mocked for making the USN out to be some kind of social program Deliverer?

"America's Navy: A Global Force for Good."

This is going to be good, right out of Genesis 1. Where? In verses 1-5 (Day One).

:)

2 Chronicles 13:5 Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?

It will only be available on line, it's too hard to do daily updates on printed books.

For a non-downloadable file of such size the required subscription price is quite reasonable.

Only $19.84

And when a shooting war starts who do you think will be killed in all those battles? The ones fighting them. And that would be? The progressives remaining after the conservatives were purged.

The progressives won't go to war.

"What if they gave a war and no one came?"

Don't worry your empty little head, snowflake.

They'll deliver the war right to your doorstep!
