when I was growing up we used to have a saying:
"Cut the shit!"
It meant knock of the nonsense.
So without further ado here's the cold hard facts
nobody seems to want to admit to themselves:
1) WERE BROKE!
"America’s gross national debt hit an eye-watering $33 trillion for the first time in September — mere months after eclipsing the $32 trillion mark earlier in the year."
"Nearly $2 billion is spent every day just in interest on the national debt, according to the Peter G. Peterson Foundation."
"The government could have refinanced its debt while interest rates were low, but it didn’t."
(Brilliant!)
(This is ahead of schedule BTW, it wasn't supposed to occur until sometime next year but its here already.
We are going to need others to keep buying our bonds and tbills to keep financing our debt.
The way the world is going? How sound of an investment does that sound like to you?
Countries aren't just gonna not keep financing our debt, they about to start selling it off and at the worst possible time.
Default looms.)
2) WE DONT HAVE ANY FUEL!
Biden's depletion of emergency oil stocks comes back into focus amid Israel-Hamas war, price surge
Forget the supply disruptions.
Thats a forgone conclusion at this point.
The day, the day that headline came out and I saw what this administration was doing my stomach turned, literal nauseated knowing what was coming down the pike (World War) and knowing we were going to need our SPR in order to be effective.
YOU HAVE TO CONNECT THE DOTS HERE!
Putin knew the playbook. He knew if he invaded Ukraine Oil prices would increase and that we and our allies would drain our reserves right when we needed them the most. Throw in some Saudi Arabia and Russian production cuts and voilà...here we are.
"On Monday, the Brent crude index, the worldwide oil benchmark, and the U.S. WTI index both surged more than 4% and inched closer to $90 a barrel as a result of volatility created by the Middle East crisis. According to analysts, the conflict — triggered over the weekend after a series of unprovoked attacks by Palestinian militants on Israelis — may lead to large amounts of global oil supplies being withheld."
"If the conflict envelopes Iran... up to 3% of global oil supply is at risk. And if a wider conflict eventuates that ends up impacting transit through the Strait of Hormuz, around 20% of global oil supply could be held hostage," energy analyst Saul Kavonic said in an interview with Reuters."
"Timing is everything and the attacks almost certainly postpone any Saudi-Israeli rapprochement,
(It was a big part of the reason for them.)
along with any high probability expectation of Saudi Arabia reducing or eliminating its extra 1 million [barrel per day] cut if prices resume their recent fall," analysts with Citibank added in a note."
"There are a lot of reasons why the Biden administration should not have used the SPR to try to bring down prices — one of which is that the SPR then isn't available if something serious happens. We're facing that right now,"
(Nobody could see this coming? This is what happens when you have a bunch of 45 year old's running the show and only understanding the world as they have experienced it and not understanding in any way shape or form that it was inevitable that the world wasn't going to keep going on with the same old statue quo. Either that? Or they knew that and didn't really care: "Lets just keep the economy going as long as we can guys and gals, whole things going down the crapper anyway at least the multinational conglomerates and their CEO's can still make a buck in the meantime." etc...
I mean what is the difference really between those two positions?
The result is still the same.)
"Ben Lieberman, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told Fox News Digital in an interview. "The point was for the nation to have an emergency oil supply."
"And it's especially foolish given the backdrop of this administration's hostility to domestic oil production," he added."
Strategic Petroleum Reserve near historic lows as war breaks out in Middle East
(Simply put? It was a monstrous, historic blunder of epic proportions and to think that no one could see what was coming? Lil hard to buy, that dog dont hunt etc...)
"The last time the SPR was at or below 350 million barrels for an extended period of time was the fall of 1983, when it was still in the process of being filled, and the reserve had over 650 million barrels stockpiled for most of the last decade."
"A 2021 estimate from the EIA puts U.S. oil consumption at about 20 million barrels of oil per day. This means that if the U.S. was forced to rely solely on oil in the SPR without access to new domestic production or imports, the U.S. would deplete the SPR in about 17 days — about half the historical average of 33 days dating back to 1990."
(Thats not even taking into account a war in the Pacific, a wider war in Eastern Europe, a wider conflict in the Middle east, The shahael in Africa etc...then what? 17 days, You ready for gas rationing yet? Can you even imagine it in this country in this day and age? You think you have mass shootings now?...Think about it...just sayin it's a strong likelihood all of that is going to come to pass and a lot quicker than you could ever imagine.)
"Obviously, they can’t fill it back up, it’s too late — the horse has left the barn," said Phil Flynn, analyst at Price Futures Group and FOX Business Network contributor.
(Knew it the day they announced and and said so.)
"So now, you have to find ways to strategically maybe limit supplies and if things get really hot, we might have to limit exports to Europe which we don’t want to do because they’re counting on us to make up for Russian supply."
(You have to connect the dots, Putin's goal was to destroy NATO and the collective west and he's pulling it off. None of this is an accident. You see? Just because this county's populace has been drastically dumbed down over the last few decades? Doesn't mean there aren't smart people elsewhere in the world. Gods blessing on this country has been withdrawn. Period. "Hosea...Hosea...Hosea...just all day long a few year back. may not mean anything to you...and I didn't understand it at the time...but it all makes perfect sense to me now.)
3) WE ARE VULNERABLE TO TECHNOLOGY WE DONT HAVE.
General Says Countering Hypersonic Weapons Is Imperative
First things first,
do you really think all that much has changed since MAY of this year?
and if
"the commander of U.S. Northern Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command." said these things in a public hearing?
Then things are way worse than what he is letting onto.
"Russia and China continued to aggressively pursue and field a number of advanced capabilities, including hypersonic weapons and delivery platforms designed to evade detection across multiple domains and strike targets anywhere on the globe, including North America, he said.
"Hypersonic weapons are extremely difficult to detect and counter given the weapons' speed and maneuverability,
low flight paths
and unpredictable trajectories,"
he said.
Those last two are key:
Low flight paths
and
unpredictable trajectories.
were both developed to counter high altitude ballistic missiles which have a set trajectory.
We prepared for the wrong war basically.)
Patriot batteries with advanced radars and real time communication with a surveillance drone in the area can hit a Kinzenhal (according to Ukraine and US military and not a "true" Hypersonic BTW.) Unfortunately, there just isn't that many of these Patriot systems (its why we and our allies were reluctant to send them to Ukraine to start with) and they are designed to protect a location, a barracks, a weapons depot, a command and control center etc...NOT TO PROTCT A WHOLE CITY, LET ALONE A WHOLE COUNTRY.)
"Hypersonic weapons
challenge NORAD's ability
to provide threat warning
and attack assessments for Canada and the United States, he added.
"I believe the greatest risk for the United States stems from our inability to change at the pace required by the changing strategic environment," he said.
(We prepared for the war we thought might be coming, not the one that is.)
"ability to provide threat warning"
London can get hit from Moscow in 210 seconds.
Thats not even enough time to wake somebody up.
This is why we dont want to escalate things with Russia
and China is telling us to just stay away from Taiwan etc.)
"In an area of incredible innovation and technological achievement, inflexible, outdated processes are a greater impediment to success than many of our competitors' advancements," he said.
"Aegis ships equipped with the sea-based terminal capability can now engage some hypersonic threats in the latter part of the missile's flight path, called the terminal phase.
"Due to the global maneuver capabilities of hypersonic missiles, a space-based tracking and targeting capability is in clear need," Hill said.
(We wont have the time to develop one, let alone field it.)
"The Space Force and the Missile Defense Agency are co-developing hypersonic ballistic tracking from space, he said.
Later this year, hypersonic and ballistic-tracking, space-sensor satellites will demonstrate tracking and targeting to support hypersonic engagements. Those satellites will participate in flight tests and real-world threat collections throughout fiscal year 2024, he said."
("are co-developing hypersonic
ballistic tracking from space"
"Later this year"
(Hasn't really worked out like that, its October BTW)
"Those satellites will participate"
Thats a whole mess of presumptions my friends.)
"Aegis SBT is the only active defense available today to counter hypersonic missile threats," he added.
(And it only gets some and only in the end of their flight toward their target.
It's pretty simple really, you just overwhelm your adversary with your more technologically advanced weapons that you have plenty of (and they are cheaper than the interceptors) and you make your adversary use up all of their (more expensive and harder to produce) interceptor missiles.
So no, I most certainly am not:
"Overstating" China and Russia's hypersonic capabilities, not in the least.
Just because people dont want to admit something to themselves? Doesn't make it untrue.
See?
Our military isn't designed to fight wars.
It's designed to enrich defense contractors.
(Why do you think we have had constant wars for decades now?
Whats your theory?)
The Nazi Tiger tanks were far superior to anything else on the battlefield in WW2, but they were:
"overengineered,
using expensive materials
and labor-intensive production methods."
(Kinda like what we do so defense contractors can reap huge profits)
We simply overwhelmed them with cheaper and more numerous Sherman's.
Chickens come home to roost much?
GODSPEED EVERYBODY.
Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Or?
Just go on thinking consciousness
"evolved"
out of algae
hit with an electrical charge
in a slime pit/ocean etc.
Makes perfect sense.
That should design you a
"blueprint"
for the information in a DNA molecule.
What could ever go wrong with that type of thinking?
Eternity is at stake.
Choose wisely.
The choice is obvious.
