JuCo,

You're a **** idiot.

Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has said, We simply cannot afford to perpetuate the status quo that heaps more and more expensive technologies onto fewer and fewer platforms-thereby risking a situation where some of our greatest capital expenditures go toward weapons and ships that could potentially become wasting assets.

When an international incident occurred during the Cold War, the first question often asked by the President was “Where are the carriers?” In recent weeks, many articles highlight the Department of Defense’s concerns over the estimated three-year industry production delay associated with replacing weapons provided to Ukraine. In response, I offer a variation on the President’s question: “Where are the arsenals?” Two leading causes to the industry production delay are ongoing supply chain issues and workforce shortages, both of which can be moderated by military arsenals. A key mission of the nation’s military arsenals is to help bridge this gap by surging their production levels while industry mobilizes to expand capabilities and capacities for even greater production.The U.S. government-owned industrial base, including arsenals, is rarely included in the discussions regarding weapons replenishment or war mobilization. In peace, private industry has no financial incentive to maintain a commercial arsenal capable of surging to wartime production levels. Therefore, it is necessary to use government-owned industrial bases for continual replenishment and mobilization, for which they were built. Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD) is the Navy’s only arsenal and the nation’s only remaining full-spectrum, all-domain energetics center (energetics include the explosives and propellants that give modern munitions their capabilities and lethality). Based on my experiences at NSWC IHD, I contend that arsenals are not mentioned as an additional production resource because their deterioration inhibits their ability to fully bridge the aforementioned gap...

With Ukraine’s military expending munitions as quickly as the US and its partners can get them to the beleaguered country, there are growing questions about whether all sides involved will start running low — including the quantity, and quality, of stockpiles back home. In a new opinion piece, former deputy national security advisor Nadia Schadlow and researcher Brady Helwig say that America’s energetic industrial base, already stretched thin, needs new attention in light of the war in Europe. Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has been a wake-up call. Footage of missile strikes and burned-out tanks reminds us that control of territory still matters, and that the explosive power behind munitions like missiles, rockets, and artillery is key to asserting control of the battlefield.What these munitions have in common is that they rely on energetic materials — critical chemicals that help determine the range, size, and explosive power of missiles and rockets. Unfortunately, since the end of the Cold War, the United States has underinvested in energetics and now faces serious supply chain vulnerabilities. If the United States is pulled into a protracted war, it could find itself outgunned, fast.

“It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along,” Trump said April 26 in a social media post.

He is such a brutally stupid ****. 

https://youtu.be/VNM0iydkaCk?si=vAjOMk8BK4E4m4i9

Another Grifticles gem:

Find one Trump quote, call him a "brutally stupid ****," and call it a political dissertation.

You really are the Hemingway of half-baked rage posts.Since you’re clearly warming up for another Thought-Free Friday, here’s a simple question:

If Trump is as “brutally stupid” as you say, why do you think foreign leaders still feel the need to negotiate strategically around him rather than just ignore him completely?

Feel free to dodge, post an old quote, or strike this out like you do with everything else that makes you sweat even a little.

It’s tradition.

Oh wow, one vague noun after 127 dodges.
Be still my heart.
If tossing out "economic interdependence" counts as an answer, then grunting counts as a Shakespearean monologue.
Try again, Grifticles—this time with a full thought attached.
Unless, of course, thinking is still "not in it for you."

Note that it does NOT say "candidates"

We don't vote for Presidents, we vote for electors. You may want to look into a refresher civics course.

We vote for candidates who may or may not become presidents.
