You’re a Navy guy, right Rick? Not asking you to dip into the high side, but what capabilities do we have/need to effectuate that outcome?
I feel like there was probably a big ways/means/ends, forces/capabilities/effects, enemy actions/counters conversation somewhere in a SCIF in Tampa. And it was effectively a field grade circle jerk because this was either somehow overlooked or the pentagon and the admin didn’t care or know to care that it would be a problem.
Either way, huge swing and miss. We entered the conflict on our terms. And the spot price of Jet-A is now $4.26 according to A4A. Gonna be an interesting fall/winter if this keeps up.
