I believe that the Biden Administration, most Democrats, and a good number of so-called Republicans are dedicated to the destruction of the traditional USA by various means: economic, political, cultural, immigration, and military. This essay addresses that last listed avenue of destruction—the military.
Napoleon is often quoted as saying that “An army marches on its stomach,” meaning that no Army can move without food. I would submit that, today, in addition to food, an Army cannot march without fossil fuels. The complicated logistics of modern life and warfare require reliable, consistent, and readily available fuels.
The reduction in our military capabilities is the most frightening, imminent, and insidious threat to our very existence. By advancing the Green New Deal to include our military forces as another casualty in this insane war on Fossil Fuels (crushing mining, drilling, refining, and distributing), Biden and his administration have added to the significant reduction of those weapons of war needed for the defense of this country.
We have been told that the Biden administration’s goal is that, in a few years, fossil fuels will no longer be available in America. Until then, our domestic sources for these necessary fuels will be diminished and we will beg for fossil fuels from unstable dictatorships around the world.
Also, the administration assures us that the internal combustion engine will be eliminated. Do away with gasoline and diesel.
Use renewables. But what will power our main battle tanks, self-propelled artillery pieces, and all-terrain vehicles used to support the troops, as well as all the aircraft of the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard. Electricity? Battery charging stations on the battlefield? Harnessing electricity from electrical thunderstorms? With no fighter jets to defend our $13 billion aircraft carriers that operate on nuclear power, they become floating tennis courts.

I guess we can just run our tanks on wood fired boilers...
This goes to show how idiots are running our country. You just must have a good supply of the various fossil fuels to run the military & the same is true for civilian life. Yet, these idiots from the president on down would have you believe otherwise. I think this may be because they can somehow magically make it all happen at some point in time. They haven’t thought it through. Even if we had all the electricity we needed from the so-called “renewables” they have to realize that electricity can’t do it all. There is place where renewables may play into things, but it is a small place indeed & should not used in an effort to replace conventional sources,or replace petroleum. “Renewables” should not be hooked into our power grid.
I think I recall the Navy being required to use some $35.00 a gallon bio fuel a year or so back. The only green we will be is mold green, like on cheese.
Remember that nuclear is bad as well, so we will need sails for our ships. Meanwhile China and Russia are putting nuke reactors in many vessals. And they don’t give a crap about environmental issues.
...this is a clip from an article that ran a few years back...this bio-fuel BS is exactly that...a frikkin’ waste of tax dollars....!! this was recognized way back then and is recognized now, but this miserable administration won’t change its mind...!!
“... This week, the Navy embarked on a costly and pointless exercise—using “advanced” biofuels that cost $26 per galon in some naval exercises. At a time when the federal budget and military budgets are tight, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus claims that it is important to spend millions of dollars on an exotic biofuel to “enhance our national security.” That is ridiculous. Spending $26 a gallon on exotic biofuel does not “enhance natural security” as it reduces our security by wasting taxpayer’s dollars on yet another renewable boondoggle and diverts funds from necessary readiness.
Nonetheless, Mabus has ordered naval exercises in the Pacific using “advanced” biofuel. The Navy will be running a fleet of warships, including the accompanying jet planes and helicopters, on a 50-50 mixture of conventional fuel and biofuel. The fuel for this exercise cost the Navy around $12 million, but that is just a small portion of what the Obama administration has spent and will spend on the development of biofuels technology....”

Biden's been in office LESS THAN TWO YEARS - what are the odds this level of destruction could be done by accident?
Don’t worry, solar-powered electric fighter jets are just around the corner, I’m sure!
Joe can KMA.
Exactly!
