I did a search and did not find this article on FR, but if it was and I missed that, mods, delete this post at your discretion.
As it is, this is a pretty damning indictment of the incompetence of the Harris / Biden Administration.
(Yes, I put Cackles first for good reasons!) :-)
never underestimate joe biden’s ability to eff everything up...
The ByeDone administration has succeeded in making the U.S. military look like FOOLS. Doesn’t quite outdo our withdrawal from Afghanistan, however.
It was an ill-conceived idea from the beginning to put it delicately.
Why? Because it was ordered by Biden and it helped resupply Palestinian HAMAS terrorists. Plus, done without securing release of US hostages.
I have another thread to post, and then I’ll be “out” for a bit. Back later / this evening, to check in on replies. :-)
If you have a comment to me about a specific point Sal makes, please note the time stamp. Thx!
This is more of a technical analysis (what JLOTS can and cannot do, etc.) In effect, it even failed at substantially aiding HAMAS, when you get right down to it.
You are too kind - hahaha!
Agreed, but we need to tie Harris to these failures too.
1. Ham ass stole it all.
the speaker sounds like he knows something about the technology
the biggest problem was the Biden/Harris regime’s desire to resupply their Fakestinian terrorist bff’s
(while stabbing Israel in the back)
we desperately need to replace these evil people, kick them out of WashingtonDC this November. they’re dragging down America, our defenses, our economy, our jobs, our moral values, and our individual liberties. We do NOT want to be dragged into becoming a commie.Nazi leftist dictatorship! America is just too great a nation, too great a people...for that kind of European krap.
I blame the woke upper echelon officers who put SloJo’s love of the enemy over all the engineers who said it was a dumb idea.
Quick summary. It failed because Biden ordered the military to install the pier in a place where it was never designed to go, i.e. a port damaged by war or natural disaster.
she should have to answer for her compliance in deceiving the nation with a president who was incompetent.
God didn’t want it there.
You should hear what is being said about Biden on Israeli news..they are saying that for a few yrs everyone knew that Biden was mentally gone..that others have been doing the work for him
$324 Million for THAT?
It didn’t fail. It allowed them to spend a half billion of our money, giving them more control.
Imagine had Trump done this - 24/7 lamestream exposes and suchlike.
The pier was designed for up to class three waves. The Mediterranean Sea features class four waves. A high schooler could have told you that it wouldn’t work.
