I'm just surprised that former US military are so enamored with Mother Russia these days.

Are you enamored with Germany and Japan?

Sure, let's pretend a feeble dude who respects American norms and institutions is even REMOTELY equivalent to . . . wait for it . . .

A federally adjudicated rapist, a twice-impeached insurrectionist, a damn FELON (please spare me a "Biden crime family" response, dude), a con man, a white supremacist, and a bama who's mobbed up in NYC and Moscow. It's an absolute joke, and your marching orders are pathetic.

Emoluments clause? Conflict of interest? Separation of powers? He's burning it all down. It's NOT CONSERVATIVE.

You may be familiar with the old adage "when fascism comes to America, it'll be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross." Guess what?

You know what's even closer to "fascism"? Telling people to either take a shot or lose your job. Or that you can't fly. Or that you can't get into events without "Showing ze paaaaaaaaapas". Going to big tech companies and "suggesting" that they censor conservatives, which was a direct violation of the 1st Amendment. And we won't even speak of the head of a major intel agency filing false evidence with the FISA court in an attempt to bring down a sitting president. Frankly, Jim Comey deserves one of those 2am raids on his house. So spare me your rants about "faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasicm"

It's all going to come under review. R&D is definitely a mess, as is procurement. And we are struggling in cyberspace because our kids are too stupid coming out of government run schools to compete. While our kids are learning about 57 genders and taking selfies, chinese kids are learning math and computers. It effects everything from national security to the workforce.

I do think our schools need a major reset as to how they instruct students. Is project-based learning the answer? Also, I wonder if there's enough meaningful work for our population.

That is going to be a problem with AI, automation and robotics down the road. Of course, wagon makers were put out of work when Henry Ford came along a hundred years ago. But the DoE has failed miserably with our kids and I for one will shed no tears when it is shut down.

Are you enamored with Germany and Japan?

They've been our partners for almost 80 years. So yeah, much more so than Putin and Russia.

What happened to the Republican Party that it would turn its back on Reagan's Party? Wasn't he the GOP lord and savior?

Yeah, we've been friends for 80 years, but at one point we weren't. Things change, alliances change. And mind you, as someone who served half his career during the Cold War, it hasn't made me shed any tears seeing ivan bleed. But what is the alternative here? We can pump all the weapons we want to into ukraine, but you've got to have the people to pull the trigger on them. The ukrainians don't have to people. They didn't have to manpower on day one. So, what are you willing to do to get the russians out of ukraine? Obviously, no one but a few democrats and the Europeans are willing to send American troops into the situation. The French covertly sent the Foreign Legion in these last year or the year before and they got chewed up. Can't send NATO troops, even though some of those countries have talked about it, because it will precipitate a wider response from russia, a nuclear powered country. And WHERE has the UN been in all of this? So, no boots on the ground. What did Jotato do to end the war these last four years? There were times when both putin and zelinsky said that were willing to talk. What did Jotato and Blinken do? Nothing. I won't even speak about the 100 BILLION of American taxpayer money that just.............disappeared. Trump is dealing with the reality that the russian military is there to stay in eastern Ukriane. What would you do differently?

Apparently the DoD is going to be feeling the heat pretty soon. Wonder how @Sarge feels about this one

I've got to say Trump isn't kidding around. Either he's going to turn the US into a failed state or be one the biggest presidential reformers we've ever had

Be careful not to troll each other and that goes for @Sarge too!

I don't mind folks asking me for my opinion.

Trump Speaks at Investor Conference in Miami

Trump: "We're gonna spend hundreds of millions of dollars advertising how bad drugs are so that kids don't use them."



So we're going to repeat the failed "Just Say No" campaign and waste hundreds of millions of dollars? Brilliant!

I'm guessing cocaine and Adderall aren't part of that campaign?
