@CarolinaLion2 Obviously we can improve our quarterly performance by 0.25% by outsourcing production to Chinese manufacturing partners! We're a service economy! Free trade!

@CarolinaLion2 Another serious concern is that we will be unable to replace ships and subs sunk in a war with Russia or China, at least not fast enough to make a difference.

@CarolinaLion2 I honestly think a lot of our recent moves signal a return to Fortress America by the end of the decade.

@CarolinaLion2 Need to "build more subs" to build the industrial base. Maybe not for this issue but generally it's the other way around. The elites sabotaged the industrial base over decades and now we can't build or maintain an effective military.

@CarolinaLion2 @DrClaytonForre1 I pray we do

@CarolinaLion2 Didn't we piss in France's cheerios and make sure they wouldn't build submarines for our angloid allies—so that we could? And we can't? Lol.

@CarolinaLion2 Who is we? Are you phoenician?

@CarolinaLion2 DEI, the competency gap, the supply chain of components and materials are all self-reinforcing obstacles even if capacity had been available. There are no political solutions.

@CarolinaLion2 @HarmlessYardDog Not unexpected, they also cancelled the attack helicopters.

@CarolinaLion2 @DrClaytonForre1 Fight a naval war in the Pacific to stop intentionally letting the enemy into our country??

@CarolinaLion2 @HarmlessYardDog Historians will look back in wonder at America's One Ocean Act of 2024

@CarolinaLion2 Lot of problems. USA doesn’t have the industrial capacity to build these platforms very fast. And recruiting & retention doesn’t support their fielding. And then there’s the money, of course. To say nothing of GWOT exhausting the public support for getting tangled in new wars.
