Just Another Thought

[[[ There were some very interesting developments reported today in the New York Post relating to the fact that our war with Iran has led to a shortage of key munitions, which has in turn exposed “bottlenecks” in the defense industry,” and that's per a 44-page document released on Monday by the War Department’s Office of Inspector General. And these shortages include “production of solid rocket motors, the availability of high-grade explosives and propellants and the recruitment of skilled manufacturing labor.”

Also in said report...a report that was congressionally mandated...was the fact that Iran's attacks on U.S. airbases and military installations were way more severe and damaging than was first reported, and that American diplomatic facilities in Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE also received damages to a tune of over $184 million dollars.

This report came out after President Trump had posted on “Truth Social” that, “I’ve just received a Report that the United States is producing more Exquisite and Elite Weapons than at any time in our History.”

Interesting I'd say as I tend to believe a 44-page report...replete with required documentation...than a one line ego-driven sentence reported on Trump's very own social media platform. And I especially believe said report even more so after Israel also reported today that Iran holds over nine tons of nuclear material...which includes 440 kilograms of enriched uranium “equivalent to more than 10 nuclear devices”... outside of IAEA safeguard, as per Israeli Atomic Energy Commission Director-General Moshe Edri.

“Houston” to say we still have a (Trump) problem puts it mildly indeed. ]]]

[[[ So it seems Trump's Special ​Envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law ‌Jared Kushner traveled to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee in late June of this year to consult with experts ​that could play a role in ⁠possible future nuclear negotiations with Iran. I know Trump said NO nuclear weapons for Iran, but he never publicly said they could not eventually have a nuclear program for peaceful purposes. 

 

Hey Trump…in case you didn’t know it...even a peaceful nuclear program is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from a nuclear weapon, maybe not immediately but in the not so distant future.

 

Houston…I smell a dangerous possible concession on Trump’s part in the making sometime down the road. Not good folks, not good at all.]]]

The final frontier: US reveals Space Force has 'on-orbit space control weapons' for first time

Meink declined to say whether the weapons were kinetic, meaning systems designed to physically damage or destroy a target, or non-kinetic systems such as electronic warfare capabilities.

Shir Perets / THE JERUSALEM POST 

The US Space Force has "on-orbit space control weapons" capable of defending American forces from hostile action, Air Force Secretary Troy Meink publicly revealed Monday at the Pentagon in the United States' most explicit acknowledgment to date that it has deployed military weapons in space.

"Today, we continue to ensure we remain ready to meet the challenge of evolving threats wherever they exist," Meink said during the opening keynote address at the Air & Space Forces Association's Air, Space & Cyber Conference in National Harbor, Maryland.

"This is why the Space Force now has on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the joint force against hostile adversary action."

 The disclosure comes as Washington has increasingly spoken publicly about the prospect of conflict in orbit and the need to protect US satellites against potential adversaries. China and Russia have developed and demonstrated technologies that US and allied officials say could threaten satellites and other space infrastructure. Read more here.

Gen Z: Driving Socialism and Questionable Candidates Forward

...And it's “Gen Z” who is not only helping to drive forward the discontent that many other frustrated Americans are still feeling in their pocketbook, but “Gen Z” who also sees socialism “trumping” (pun intended) capitalism itself. And they do so while at the same time believing...albeit erroneously...that socialism is the only means by which to help redefine how America is viewed on the world stage, especially now as the Iran war lingers on way longer than President Trump originally promised, "We the American People."

 

But that's not the worst of it for with many of the “Democrat Socialist” candidates obviously being anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian sorts...candidates now overwhelmingly being supported by “Gen Z”...it should not be all that unexpected or surprising that antisemitic rhetoric has once again re-entered the general political discourse. Sad indeed, as it's courtesy of said candidates making hate a part of their anti-America, anti-Israel political platforms which the majority of indoctrinated “Gen Z” are now gravitating towards.
