I would welcome the draft ….
————-
Careful, instating the draft will be a huge blow, today’s youngsters will make the early 70’s draft dodging pale in comparison ( I remember the draft dodging days)….the wide spread non compliance will signal our weakness. Get used to the current decline in US hegemony, brought to you by a senile old man sitting in the White House.

China just brokered an historic peace deal between the Sauds and Iran, not the US. Think very hard about that. The world is taking note. As I know to well, the rift between Shia and Sunni was thought to NEVER be resolved, but China takes credit for this….bodes not well for the emasculated US, thank you Joe.

Do realize Iran just signed a mega deal with Russia to buy Russia’s SU-35’s, should be no surprise, India ( population 1.5 billion) buys their hardware from Russia also- the US is becoming the tiny man in the room.

If the carrier cost $13B and we’ve already borrowed $130B+ for Uke corruption, that sounds more like TEN new carriers could have been built.

They deserve all the scorn they receive. It’s become a Woke money laundering operation.

I see subs with lots of missiles going in first to clear the way for the carriers. With China we just bottle them up as they are surrounded by other countries that hate them and they have missiles that will sink the Chinese navy before it gets to far let alone be able to get back to port.

The question is does the US Navy have the will to fight an advanced country like Russia or China? Perhaps we can only fight and bully 3rd world Nations without an industrial base? Maybe WW III will not be a re-play of WW II? In the age of hypersonic missiles can a carrier survive? These are questions that need to be asked. Battleships look cool but are worthless in our age.

Chief Poopy pants had plenty of help from the TURDle McCONnel, SCOTUS, PIGlosi, Linda Graham and other traitors. Yes, we are on a slippery downhill slope.
