That was a good read sir. Uh….. how are you doing?;.)
How did we get to the point in geopolitics where we know an adversary is the one attacking us, but because somebody else pulled the trigger for them, we don’t hold that adversary responsible????
I think it as an oversimplification to say Biden said to not retaliate. That's the short term request, and it's not one of appeasement, it's one of planning and coalition building. Something that has achieved notably impressive results in the past.
Second, I notice you fail to mention anything about Russia in this post which seems like a weird oversight given the much more substantial role Russia has played in the decay of the world order, and direct attacks on the US (cyber attacks, election interference etc.).
Third: microchips are critically important to large swaths of US industry and defense, the ability to build microchips in the US, and not rely on factories outside our borders is critical for defense in a declining world order. How can you ignore this and claim that we are sleep walking / ignoring reality?
The Gathering Storm, ......"Once again Dear Friends into the breech....." will come the call, Who will make it, and how will it be heard.?.....A Leader, who looks and sees forward, must emerge and make the Truth of these self evident national sovereignty statements clear to all.....It's time for the "Bread and Circuses" mindset to end.
international law that makes a nations embassy sovereign territory. I realize the american elite care little for rule of law but without this legal understanding
Well written, addresses seriousness while our nation dithers. But enough about that. Two ships passing in the night...only time enough to grab the speaking trumpet for a brief "Howzit?" or "Wassap?" to complete the auto-reflex social intercourse expected of gentlemen known to each other. You have given me pause, Sir. I think my new salutations will be a mumbled "Eksthlint" or "Twiffick", eyes downcast, feet shuffling, so preoccupied looking that others will hurry on their way out of respect for my important cogitations or fear that the wheels turning inside my head are going to come apart as if a monkey wrench had just been dropped into the reduction gear...maybe I'll be marked a serious man and be left alone in the future.
You notice how when Israel commits a serious international crime (bombing someones embassy is as serious as it gets) the spin to soft peddle it is immense.. Israel has actually been humiliatingly defeated by Iran. All the drones and cruise missiles were expected to be expended so their loss means nothing. The 7 plus hypersonic ballistic missiles NO ONE could stop were the strikes that counted.... Genocide Joe should have never allowed US forces near this...

"A serious nation would recognize that war is on the horizon, and it would prepare for it. "
Truth.

I prefer “swell” as a meaningless response to a meaningless inquiry. You are 110% right on today.
"We are not serious. And winter is coming." Indeed. Perfect words.

Again..what happened in 1979
is meaningless...what IS relevant is
international law that makes a nations embassy sovereign territory. I realize the american elite care little for rule of law but without this legal understanding
among nations no embassy is secure....

If I was any better I’d be twins
Boys In Girls Bathrooms.
Back in the early 1970's I took a summer class at UCLA.
I stayed in the student dorms.
In the morning I went to the bathroom for the usual stuff.
Showered and dressed and went to shave.
There was a. young woman doing her usual.
I was a bit flustered but she was not so I shaved and left.
Yes. I would quibble that it is not the nation that is unserious, it is the appeasing nebbishes of the Administration.

Terrific!
Totally agree. We are sleepwalking into a world that is increasingly becoming more unstable.
Well written good sir! To our friends, Sailors, Soldiers, and Airmen in the crucible—Godspeed and Good Hunting!
100% agree. Needs to be said and repeated over and over.
