This is ridiculous. It was an initial assessment, not a final one, plus we have to have assessments like that to generate other questions that may have been glossed over in more positive assessments. Assuming success w/o question isn't a recipe for success.

We shouldn't be doing this in any way, shape, or form. We can use government power to push for important companies to invest in the US, but directly owning them or controlling them in a similar way to state owned enterprises won't end well.

At this point, if we're giving anything that is either useful or a new concept we want field tested, we need to do it at scale w/no restrictions whatsoever. Otherwise, we're wasting our efforts/money, and more importantly, their ability to defend and likely costing lives.

There are no grades or classes of American, we're all simply American. We rebelled against the European notion of citizenship by blood, so we shouldn't be bringing that back. All this does is divide people and make our general disunity worse.

Given how important the space domain is becoming, we shouldn't be wasting time, resources, and money to temporarily break our ability to use it in order to move it to a place it doesn't need to go to. This will be a pain & another nightmare during an already awkward PCS season.

Ridiculous. Our rivals ain't gonna stop prioritizing trying to defeat us and weaken our alliances/partnerships just cause the admin is calling timeout. They will continue to sow chaos in the system and we'll now be ill prepared to blunt or counter it efficiently/effectively.

Europe should've woken up in 2014 when Russia invaded Crimea, and been preparing for this eventuality in pieces ever since. Instead, they choose to do effectively nothing, and enable it by inaction. On the bright side, Poland is probably the most prepared, aside from Finland.

Makes no sense. It's a drone, not manned asset. Destroying it, especially when it violates your airspace to hit another country, isn't an issue, it's expected. Either there's some issues that weren't publicly released, or we need to change ROEs to better protect NATO airspace.

The issue is that the admin has conflicting goals; on the one hand, it wants to reindustrialize, & on the other, it wants to be as nativist as the Know Nothing Party. Those two goals conflict, especially since we don't have the industry/human capital to reindustrialize w/o help.

A huge part of successful industrialization in the 20th century was the sharing of expertise between engineers in different countries in joint enterprises, factory visits, etc. American "reindustrialization" begins with scaring off people who still know how to make things.

We have to be prepared to make deals to continue chip dominance, as much as this is possible. This ain't that. The last thing we need to be doing is continuing to deal w/the same corrupt MENA countries we've dealt with for 20+ years. GWOT is over & we need to act like it.

This is pointless. The cartels & similar orgs are set up like terror cells, so bombing them or their facilities/equipment won't change much. Their networks have to be infiltrated & broken apart, their supply chains impeded or cut, & local control broken before we go kinetic.

Waiting for the language in the Executive Order, but the administration appears to want a company to pay $100,000 per year to the government for each H-1B worker it employs. The theory: firms will hire U.S. workers instead. The reality: firms will just move jobs overseas where

We should under no circumstances go back to Afghanistan for any reason. We're done there, time to move on. Plus, the logistics of keeping that base supplied, in a country controlled by a terror group we dont even recognize, for a purpose we can't use it for will be astronomical.

This is something we should've worked out at the beginning of the war in Ukraine to remove a Russian influence backdoor and strengthen our allies. We should always be using our energy to expand business and partnership opportunities, not waste it for no diplomatic/econ gains.

Ok. Let’s play. There are about 95,000 African Americans in the US Army. 80% are male. 1/3rd of them have pseudofolliculitis barbae. Which means 25,000 Africans Americans will be kicked out. I wake up every day thinking of how to kill PLA. Losing 25K soldiers is not one of them.
