Biden’s foreign policy will be judged by his piers...............

I can only say the only positivity from this monstrostity is that it gave the military an opportunity to test this.

It was just another Biden hoax as he is playing both sides of the fence. Shame he dragged the military into it.

Is Boeing the contractor for it—branching out into pier construction? All of those contractors are overpriced for what they deliver. Way too much overhead is allowed.

This whole episode is sad. It’s sad that the US even tried to do this. But what is more sad is that our government built these piers that appear to be so timid that they cannot be used in an “normal” beach configuration. If it cannot handle the swells of the Med, how the hell will it handle the Pacific waves?

I guess wars like this are “test grounds” for our military—much as the Spanish Civil War was used to test equipment and tactics prior to WWII (and the AVG in China.) I think our systems these days cost a lot more than a few P40’s.

Our procurement system is a damned mess.

I kind of remember BHO’s saying “Never underestimate Joe’s ability to ‘F’ things up!

all about the optics folks, nothing more.

You cannot say something is a failure unless you have a clear idea of its purpose.

As a work of performance art, it was a great success.

Yes, let’s tow a pier rated at 3 feet of sea and 10 mph winds to an area the exceeds those levels virtually every day. Hopefully the tow and the retrieval were or will be executed with electric boats.

I would like to know the Army’s version of this, were they in opposition to the assignment.

[Eli Kopter]

Trump should buy it for $5000 and move it to Mar al Lago.

[knarf]

Bullshit !

It was built back better and is working perfectly !

[Signalman]

Piers fall apart, doors fall off of Boeing aircraft. Buy American.

Nations who curse Israel will be cursed.

I thought it might have lasted until October and winter gales, but anyplace with 1,200 miles of open sea “fetch” to build waves will put any floating pier system at risk in any swells above 3 feet.

[Travis McGee]

[Menehune56]

It appears to be a floating pier with no protective breakwater so designed to fail?

[Buck-Toothed Knuckle Dragger]

A fish rots from the head.

[Churchillspirit]

Biden is an abject failure....fixed it !
