Excellent

Over the past seventy years we have been on a wearying roller coaster ride with our military – the Armed Forces – engaged in an Expensive ‘Cold War’ with the threat of nuclear weapons, and also involved in Expensive ‘counter insurgency operations’ in one country after another all around the world. Right now we are involved in Ukraine with another rescue operation supplying Expensive hardware to defeat the Russian invasion and occupation. Over time we Americans have developed an attitude problem, wanting to have a strong military for OUR defense while not wanting to use that military for the defense of whatever nations. Throughout the past seven decades we have been afflicted by one constant problem – Russia – as the instigator, operator and manipulator of the armed takeover of peaceful countries.

While all this has been going on Americans have paid trillions of dollars to keep our Armed Forces supplied with the best technology for every piece of equipment our forces need. We have better and more whiz bang gadgets than any other country which puts us in a ‘big brother’ position relative to smaller countries. We the People go to work every day to build a strong economy for a prosperous and peaceful society and have no need or interest in attacking any country. Congress has budgeted huge amounts of money for the Department of Defense all these years and we have handed over the tax money to pay for it – but after seventy years it starts to get old.

In this section I will try to bring attention to the international geo-politics that lead to the armed arguments, the endless expenditures of huge amounts of money for technologically superior weaponry and the problem of ‘forever wars’, none-of-our-business interventions in foreign problem places. I want to aim at one point – The Best Defense is a Good Lethal Overwhelming Offense; and one question – is it possible that we can use our super-smart tech guys to get that accomplished without spending an ocean of money?

In this age of ICBMs we cannot sit on our front porches or in our back yards and never-mind about the world around us. We may not be looking for trouble but it is a sad fact that troublemakers are looking for us. We certainly need to direct our money and resources to improve our homes, communities, schools, hospitals, roads, businesses etc. That is true. But we are inter-connected economically with countries all around the world. If we want peace and prosperity we need to deal DIRECTLY with ‘problem people’ wherever they are. It is no good cruising along and enjoying our American ride while there are people – criminal government gangs – conniving and working to abuse, disrupt and wreck other nations and economies.

To secure the blessings of GOODNESS and industry for ourselves and our posterity we need to go where the bad guys are and OBLITERATE THEM.  We don’t need to make lots of negative noise. We don’t need to ‘negotiate’ with weasels. We don’t need to waste our time with ‘alliances’. We need to get rid of the rats. Kill them wherever they are. As El Presidente Trump is demonstrating RIGHT NOW a firm approach to foreign countries gets a suddenly more respectful response. It is a welcome change, and relief,  from the Biden crime family totalitarian disgrace that 81 million! voters dumped on Our Country four long years ago.

To paraphrase an 82nd Airborne motto –     All the way – to the Best!
