“Defiance of civilian authority, when it’s against an administration I don’t like and issues I oppose is good. But defiance against civilian authority when it’s an administration and issues I support is bad.” Really galaxy brain shit right here.

A stark appraisal of the state of the RN. But we must be wary of playing victim here and learn lessons as to what a Service must do to thrive . Because the underlying issues identified here are not unique to the RN. Let’s explore where and how it can and does go wrong: 🧵1/18

Spoiler alert- this guy doesn't actually know what the word tradecraft means, nor has he ever served in a unit that trains in or uses it Yeah, buddy, we obviously can't have a BSB Commander who doesn't know how to do a SDR, right?

This 👇 is a shocking post. In this, he calls the Democrats (or the 74,999,166 people who voted Democrat last year), the enemy. That's almost 75 million Americans that are now apparently the "enemy". This is what MAGA does.

Many years later, it still can't be said enough, when it comes to RN aircraft carriers, it was, and is, STOVL or NOVL

Perhaps John would be better served going to the range instead of spending all his time on X ...

WOW — big if true!

Happy now MAGA?

A president trying to stop a war doesn't come out and kiss the ring like this. A strong American president would skip the presser. Stone-faced, he'd indicate his disappointment, make clear that more consequences for Russia are coming, get on Air Force One, and go home.

And this is why paying attention in school is important.

For those in the US who think Zelensky and Ukraine should agree to give up land in exchange for peace, if a country had invaded the US, what states would you give up?

Except John doesn't know, because he was never in the Navy. And yet feels it necessary to pass comment despite this and without knowing the full circumstances of the case.

Not sure that's the flex Adastral Trader thinks it is ... x.com/adastral_trade…

How would fireboats in the USA help in this situation?

Oh come on Tom. We both know John has no experience in this environment, acts like the USN has gone down the pan (surprised he didn't blame DEI) and has absolutely zero knowledge on the circumstances of this fire but yet wants to sensationalise it for his own agenda.

Had this been an F-35 (two crashes within 24hrs), people would have been proclaiming how the aircraft was a disaster etc

How many FF/DC incidents on a warship has John been involved in?

Does it not? And you know that how?

Based on what exactly?

Except John isn't the expert.
