IMO the article as you quoted is likely true. But it failed to address the US response and capabilities. US carriers are not designed for a war with China by themselves. Or a war with Iran in the Gulf itself. They have substantial standoff capabilities but swarming anti ship missile attacks will overwhelm carrier battle groups. There are two programs now underway that can begin to address standoff lack of range capabilities of US carriers and conventional air forces. The Loyal Wingman aircraft and the MQ-25A both of these A/C have been studied as attack aircraft. Both would expand the range and strike capabilities of US carrier groups. In a conventional war with China its navy, air force, satellite and communications capabilities would not survive for long. US carriers are substantially designed to attack targets where anti-ship missile attacks can be defeated by its surface ship screen. Once a enemy force can no longer field ships or A/C the electronic warfare capabilities of the USN are substantial. In addition the USN has a substantial number of Aegis equipped ships. Many of which have upgraded Aegis BMD or ABMD as well as very capable anti-ship systems. US nuclear submarines are unmatched. IMO the defense industry in the US constantly lobbies for unlimited capabilities against every perceived and imagined enemy. Its too bad that alliances get the back burner.

You mean Turtle-attacks? Like "This is a violation of the judicial oath and applicable ethical rules. We will be filing a complaint against Sullivan. ... [He] is acting as a politician, not a judge." For certain trump will now be able to focus on the pandemic.

IMO the judge will impose a sentence and trump will include Flynn among the over 50 pardons he issues in January, 2021.

As well as the whole Elvis lives, flat earth and no global warming lines of thought. This study is counter to other scientific studies of trump, his gang of “falsehood flies, and the truth comes limping after it”. By study I mean anti vaccine supporters, anti-science bonds trump and his supporters together. New study finds Trump’s tweets intensify anti-vaccine attitudes among his supporters In addition surveys and studies have shown that the more trump tweets anti-vaccine B.S. the more democrats are driven to accept them.

trump, Turtle and Barr soon to learn that the republic has progressed beyond bananas.

He's given up nothing in return, trump has allowed C-19 to kill over 82,000 Americans and Kim has kept C-19 completely out of N. Korea.

"when asked about the likelihood of agreeing to get a safe and effective vaccine, the new survey shows some skepticism about being inoculated. One-quarter of Americans said they were not likely to get vaccinated, even if a safe and effective vaccine was developed." It sounds as if Darwin will get a good crack at America. Surprisingly equally distributed across both tribes!

So the dog whistles of bigotry, racism, of crotch grabbing, sexual assaults, thefts, frauds, lying, cheating all claimed by trump were for personal gain, true and for political advantage. Got it.

On that note Happy Ramadan.

FIFY

Must be FOX and trumpspeak.

That was my first thought so I went to FOX but came up with nothing. I was going to ask about accompanying explanations about what that was supposed to suggest. But in the end lost interest due to source.

For Ron and the right wing. Deep State bad, fifth column and Q good.

You're focusing on the core rationale of populist supporters. A penny in taxes goes directly to Black, Brown, immigrants who all freeload on the state. Helping corporations with bailouts, nuclear carrier battle groups on the other had are conditioned into thinking as necessary. The concept of a common good of all citizens that exists in the Nordic countries is just communism.

Who is this Normiss of which you speak. Is he the one they call the clairvoyant one?

800 million Chinese were under travel restrictions. In the US entire states have still not restricted travel. trump himself said Xi was doing a great job but for his supporters haircuts, open bars and the freedom to go maskless are important.

In the global jostling amid the coronavirus crisis, Beijing is extending its influence while U.S. President Donald Trump continues to squander America's leadership role. The pandemic could mark the beginning of a new Chinese era. "For a while, it looked as though the coronavirus outbreak would set China back years. But now, it's U.S. President Donald Trump who is reeling as his country fails to get the disease under control. As of Tuesday, almost 1.2 million people in the U.S. had been infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the respiratory disease COVID-19. In China, the country in which the pandemic originated, there were only 83,966 infected people as of last Thursday, according to statistics from Johns Hopkins University."

His conduct and betrayal of Judaism is not unprecedented. So are trump's anti-semitic dog whistling to his base. "The Donald decided to carry forth into this debate? Dog whistling to his anti-Semitic fan base. He repeatedly and often completely tangentially mentioned noticeably Jewish-sounding names (Sidney Blumenthal, George Soros, Jonathan Gruber, and Debbie Wasserman-Shultz), all of whom he conjured up as corrupt holders of cabal-esque power who Clinton has in her pocket."

Keep in mind that nothing Mr. Miller thinks or does would have meaning or effect without his one enabler employing him.

Well at least I know now what Q is all about. But was never curious enough to google. It does make sense though make the Dept. of Justice a personal fiefdom and seize control via military coup. Then you have a US version of Putin's Russia.

FIFY

Lies, the corruption of the Dept. Of Justice and the rule of law. Are all combining to make SkyDecker's banana plantation dream come true.

Well with friends like that who needs enemies? An Iranian navy "friendly fire" incident in which a ship was sunk has killed dozens of sailors, unofficial reports say. Local journalists said the frigate Jamaran was testing a new anti-ship missile which locked onto and hit Konarak, a logistical ship. Semi-official Iranian news agency Fars said one sailor was killed and several others injured. It described the incident on Sunday near the Strait of Hormuz as a "crash". According to the unofficial reports, Jamaran - operated by Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) - fired the missile prematurely before Konarak had time to sail away from a floating target it had towed to a designated position.

"remarks from the attorney general that we missed, and we regret the error." At least ten other news services specifically covered the only comment necessary from Barr. trump and Barr are not winners and never will be.

A "deceptive editing" story from FOX news. A similar story would be trump lecturing a law class on the integrity of the AG office. Bill Barr Defends Michael Flynn Reversal: ‘History Is Written by the Winners’ Published May. 07, 2020 8:48PM ET Don't worry the history of trump won't be written by him.
