Perhaps even more worrying, the global protector of freedom of navigation since WW2, particularly in strategic sea lanes, has failed and failed miserably. And the rest of the world is watching and taking note. After trillions upon trillions spent on defense, the US has been exposed as weak, incompetent, and unprepared for today's warfare.

Any new Congress or administration damn sure better do a full accounting and reprioritization. Seems we're spending billions on all the wrong things. And grown fat, lazy and sloppy in my mind. Grossly unprepared. A paper tiger.
