ALPHAS SPLASH AROUND IN THE RED SEA

    Last week, the Junta's Generalissimo Lloyd Austin cobbled together a 'coalition' to deal with Yemen, the only nation so far which has formally entered the Palestinian Civil War. That Coalition has already collapsed. Earlier this year, another US-trained, equipped, and financed Coalition met with a humiliating defeat at Yemeni hands. This followed a string of losses for the Military-Industrial Complex in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Ukraine is probably going to be the next loss within a few months; and the Zionists are nearly 90 days into a battle with an Arab Militia occupying a territory about the size of Cook County, Illinois and are taking heavy losses despite terrorizing the civilian population. 

   It's becoming apparent even to the US Deep State that our threats of imposing American Exceptionalism everywhere else on the planet through force is falling on deaf ears. Decades of selling off military functions to Corporate looters have left us with bloated defense budgets combined with shortages of critical material. Decades of ignoring civil infrastructure and outsourcing agriculture and industry have left us unable to sustain a protracted conflict. Decades of no investment in the education or welfare of our youth---along with our culture's obsession with deconstructing toxic masculinity---has left us with a shortage of manpower. Decades of military promotions based upon Political Correctness instead of merit have left us with incompetent leadership. And no---for all of the Neocons reading---it didn't all just start under Biden. 

   This isn't to say that Republican leadership isn't right on top of the military problems. Montana Senator Steve Daines reacted sharply to another expose by that paragon of Journalistic Integrity, NBC News. NBC reported that the Biden/Harris Junta "initially hoped to conceal the Chinese balloon incident earlier this year from the public and even the Congress. Officials feared that the story could spark public outcry and damage relations with China." In fairness, Biden actually turned out to be right for once in his life, because his fears were precisely what happened. 

    “As if it wasn’t enough that the Chinese spy balloon flew over Montana’s nuclear missile fields unabated, now we find out that the admin intended to hide it from Congress & the American people!" Daines thundered on social media,"The Biden administration must be held accountable!” 

    Daines, who is a multimillionaire, actually made a considerable fortune living and working in China, outsourcing thousands of American jobs as an executive with WEF Top 100 Strategic Partner, Procter & Gamble. Daines later went to found Right Now Technologies with his good pal current Montana Governor Greg Gianforte. The company sold in 2011 for $1.8 billion to Big Tech powerhouse, Oracle Corporation. Oracle is a major US Defense Contractor and also has sold technology to China. This probably will be passed over quietly, since among the 464 Beltway lobbyists contributing to Daines, his top donor, Kirk Blalock, is also a lobbyist for Oracle as well as tech companies invested in Taiwan. 

    Beltway antics aside, the lack of military readiness is a serious problem. Like Daines, however, the Conservative punditocracy seems to be in a state of mental paralysis and go about talking as though nothing changed since the mid-20th Century. They seem to be under some delusion that the US is capable of fighting a World War II-level conflict, and worse still, they actually seem to desire it. 

    "The U.S. must defend its national interests by going on the offense against the threat from the Houthis and Iranian presence in Yemen to ensure freedom of navigation! By so doing, it will convey to the PRC that the U.S. will not tolerate interdiction of freedom of navigation in any waters, including the East and South China Seas, and so prevent America’s Suez Moment!” So say these yo-yo's, as if the world's oceans belonged exclusively to the United States. They've apparently forgotten what happened the last time our brave xhes in uniform clashed with the Iranians. 

     The underlying irrationality and outright hysteria coming from the GOP leadership has nothing to do with the concrete facts of the situation. It's all about projecting an image with these people. They have to prove themselves manly Alpha leaders; the fact that our military is about as tough as security guards at local middle schools doesn't factor into their thinking. If things go wrong, they can always change the narrative and blame it all on the Left. 

    Before these idiots manage to talk us into another global conflict that we can't possibly win, Americans on the Right need to start asking themselves a few hard questions. Questions like: If the loss of Taiwan threatens our computer-chip supply, why aren't we building them here in the first place? Or, What really are our national interests in the Middle East? Or, Why doesn't our military guard our own borders instead of guarding Corporate interests abroad? And so on...and so on.

   Unfortunately, such questions are unlikely to be asked or even raised. Most Americans' idea of the military comes out of Hollywood and convincing anybody that we shouldn't simply blast some country off the map for daring to flaunt our tough-guy image is met with incredulity. As a culture, we've largely assimilated the ethos (as well as the character) of the inner-city ghettos and our leadership---whether Left or Right---is a reflection of that.
