Sol - RIP. Some Good Op Ed's. A U.S Military Assessment.

Disney's Chairman should be fired. He obviously does not understand the difference between entertainment and political engagement.

Remember when Coca Cola decided to take the original Coke off the shelves and Coke Drinkers went bezerk.

One of my dear friends just passed away. His family were synonymous with Birmingham. Sol and I were both stationed in France, spent one Thanksgiving together while there and our first daughters were born there as well. He lived a very productive and full life. RIP.

Militarily, the US is beyond the most powerful force in the world, accounting for some 40% of the world's spending as of 2021. It manages the world's largest navy, amounting to some 7.1 million tonnes (inc. auxiliary), compared to 2.8 million tonnes (also including auxiliary) of the rapidly growing Chinese Navy, with a large chunk of that navy's forces comprising hundreds of smaller patrol and attack vessels. It utilizes the largest and (with the exception of a few allies) most advanced nuclear submarines in the world. Its surface force is monstrous, with 10 “Supercarriers" that can be fully augmented by a Carrier Strike Group (CGS), providing unparalleled force projection around the world. The only nation that can even remotely match this is the UK, which as of 2021 now has 2 “Supercarriers" and CSGs at its disposal, which given Britain's close relations with the US does nothing except increase America's ability to project power. It also maintains the world's largest Air Force by a statute mile, which when deployed to bases in allied nations such as Germany and Japan gives the US the ability to deploy permanent unfathomable airpower to contested regions around the globe. A strong logistics chain aids in maintaining this military force. Geographically, the US is in an excellent position, with two oceans on each side and an ally and the barren arctic to the north, and weak and non-hostile nations to the south. The only considerable threats the US experiences are Russian and Chinese Ballistic Missile Submarines (SSBNs) that sit in the Atlantic and Pacific, ready to strike American shores. It has large oil and gas reserves and potentially massive unknown deposits untapped that could keep the US economy running even if its entire resource imports were cut off. The Nation is also blessed with the Mississippi Basin, which allows the US unparalleled agricultural output, and could easily remain self-sustaining in a war. The only thing that the US has to worry about is an internal issue. Russia has used this to great effect in its ad campaign during the 2016 election, which created great division. A great success for Russia. This is how American enemies will continue to operate, at least until they can fight the US on their own turf. +++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
