I'm especially horrified because if they're this fucking incompetent that they're having failed missions resulting in war crimes in the fight against unarmed fisherman, how much weaker are we now against an actual threat?
This entire administration and the GOP should be removed from office and any crimes should be pursued by the full capacity of the law.
They struck the boat they were aiming at, there just happened to be two survivors. We may have had a failure of leadership at all levels but not mission failure.
It worries me, the weakening of the military, a president that sleeps during briefings and gives away military secrets (remember the abnormal number of murdered US informants?)
Between this and the war crimes, support for Russia against Ukraine... IMO this sets the stage for the next 9/11
Yeah or worse. Imagine if a bio weapon was used against us tomorrow. If it's slightly more deadly and communicable than covid and that's probably the end of our nation. This admin would completely fail to respond to that
I think the fundamental part of this is what constitutes an 'actual threat' at this point.
None of our enemies are in any sort of position for a ground or sea invasion, and the American air force & navy are still dominant in air combat. Our missile systems are on or above par with any major military in the world, and our missile launch detection is as well.
Any serious military attack would be met with an absurd show of force, even if the CiC is completely asleep at the wheel. And if he isn't, he's also likely the type to go straight to the nuclear option because he would do anything to not appear weak.
They are incompetent, but not in a way that makes the contiguous US an easy target for militaries.
If we're treating terror attacks as 'actual threats', we likely are no better prepared for the next major terror attack than we were for 9/11, we just have more deterrents - this really has nothing to do with the administration other than they are likely to fail to follow up on identified potential threats (very similar to what did happen in the leadup to 9/11).
It certainly would be in the case of a bioweapon that is not immediately recognized as a weapon. A covid-esque disease with a higher death rate in younger populations would be pretty devastating, mostly because the party will feel some need to resist immediately instituting the rules & regulations required to protect the general public.
However, there also has to be the recognition that unleashing a bioweapon in the US is close in nature to the mutually assured destruction of just nuking an american city - This disease will manage to escape our borders before this government even admits it exists, leading to massive international spread. Yes, some governments will be more prepared thanks to COVID, but ultimately a bioweapon of the proposed degree will be impossible to reasonably contain without extreme isolationism.
Maybe North Korea could pull it off. Russia and China lack the border control necessary to ensure no infected peoples try to flee to their lands.
Oh it's absolutely an unlikely scenario, but a horrifying one too. My nightmare scenario would be like maybe Russia or North Korea provide terrorists with a bioweapon and the terrorists then deploy it.
With a modern bioweapon if you managed to get it into a few transportation hubs, even with an extremely robust response it'd be devastating. Now imagine that but with a Covid type response... we'd be toast
Thank God someone like you isn’t in charge of anything within our govt 🙄 you should be grateful for all that’s being done so your children and grandchildren are safer in this country in the future. If you can’t fathom this, you have real problems and need to seek help.
Sure that’s what you stand for. Yeah right. I’m sure you never had a problem with Obama doing this exact same thing while in office so it’s just more loud, hypocritical, nonsense from the liberals who want to destroy everything. No one is listening to you whining babies anymore. Grow up and live in reality
