Appears God doesn’t want America to finance Gaza?
Every General/Admiral associated with this boondoggle should be fired. From the beginning it was planned/executed with nothing but problems. It seems nobody at the top of the Chain-of-command knows,remembers,anything about D-Day logistics. All this was ,was a 200 million dollar plus, get the college vote slight of hand.
It is a metaphor.
People made money.
A bit of wisdom that was circulating decades ago - “Do not start vast projects with half-vast ideas.”
The pier was put in place not to provide humanitarian aid, but to provide target practice for Hamas jihadists, the only people who were entirely against humanitarian aid to non-combatants among the general population of Gaza.
Those who curse Israel will be cursed.
“Hamas Attacks Aid Pier Under Construction on Gaza Shore”
Joe and ilk “the floating pier was a huge success which few people fail to realize. Joe of sound mind and health despite videos that prove otherwise, and the economy is doing fantastic despite everyone struggling to get by days finacially”
The left zlwzys tout their colossal failures as rousing successes. They love to pee on everyone and tell them it’s raining. The more rediculous the failure, the harder they they gaslight
The Mulberries, the temporary Normandy piers were actually made out of concrete in England and floated to their locations. They were very substantial, but the one at Omaha did not survive a very severe Channel storm within two weeks of the invasion. The one at Gold was used for eight months and landed a tremendous amount of men and materiel.
The administration delivered a boat load of small arms to HamAss now they don’t need the pier all on YOUR dime.
In reality, perhaps 5-10% actually gets wasted ion the proposal.
The rest is used for "administrative costs", ie, to line pockets of cronies.
Was the weather unexpected this time of year?
Not at all.
Looks like the brass caved to pier pressure from biden’s coat holders...
after that, a bunch of swabbies being BSed.
Squids know all about waves, and keeping their mouth shut.

“The INLS (Pier) is a sea state three (SS3) capable causeway system that resembles a floating pier comprised of interchangeable modules and is used to transfer cargo from Military Sealift Command (MSC) ships to shore areas where conventional port facilities are unavailable or inadequate.”

From a military perspective, sometimes you have to test systems for readiness.
Beyond the cost, it was a test.
Trump activated the Hospital Ships as an expensive test in the final view, but it was a logical decision at the time with many unknowns.
Totally valid point. How many contractors got huge slices of that $320 million... regardless of whether it sank or not?
“due to unexpected weather conditions”
this from the same folks who claim to be able to predict climate “catastrophe” hundreds of years into the future ...
Failing in its purpoe, to feed HAMAS?
purpose that is...
How about asking for a refund from those RAT donors who made money on the construction of that thing.
Is any of it tubular metal? They could just let Hamas clean it up tor missile parts.
