  1. This is what happens when you build your own ship using someone else's blueprints.

  2. There is nothing "obviously expected." Americans are prepared for any and all possible war scenarios.

  3. The fire was not "deliberately set" and you are irresponsible to be reporting false facts.

  4. The ship was being retrofitted. Only construction equipment was onboard. It was not an active duty ship.

  5. You can rest assured that all of the listed projects have already been approved whether that has been made public or not.

  6.  @gregparrott  He obviously was trying to stuff everything that he could into the video. But how could he put secret CCP projects into his video? These projects of ours for the future are mainly waiting on AI development and they will be online shortly after that. Also we can beat them in war with what we have now. He could have left development projects out of the video and the result would be the same. Lasers require so much power that the smaller ships and planes that China mostly uses may not be able to power them. Our lasers are already installed on ships and currently operating. We have laser pods that hang under the F-35s but they are HUGE and to me do not look practical. But we have them currently installed on ships and are retrofitting everything. China has none. The United States is the number 2 manufacturer in the world and 10% of our manufacturing is military. We can keep up with their military production. They have stuff on the drawing board . . we have stuff on the drawing board. For a very long time the relative positions will remain the same. The only real advantage China has is they can do it cheaper. But they may not be able to scale up because their economy is collapsing and their government is broke. (And nothing they produce on their own ever works right anyway. 🤷‍♂️).

  7. Under United States law only Congress can "declare war." But the president is commander-in-chief of the entire military and can order the military into a combat situation for 90 days without a declaration of war. What you fail to consider is that we war game all potential scenarios well before they happen. All branches of government are in high-level communication with all other branches and in on the high security meetings. It is already decided how we will respond and there is already a response plan written out. If China attacks Taiwan the president will give the order and we will be on top of them in less than 24 hours. The island of Taiwan is literally covered with F-16 fighter jets owned by the Taiwanese. Taiwan also has drones that they have designed and built themselves for a specific purpose.

  8. Fighting a war with the kitchen sink sounds like a novel idea. 🤷‍♂️
