"As the world gets more and more dangerous, we have a kitten in the White House instead of a tiger. Don't think for a minute, that Putin and Xi do not know that. Not to mention Iran and North Korea also."
There is so much news in the news cycle these days, it is hard to know where to start. First off, the container ship backlog in Southern California is NOT getting any better. In fact, we are still have about 100 ships is queue. Only now, due to safety concerns, as well as image control, about half of the container ships waiting to unload, are being kept further offshore. How bad is it really? On the news this morning, it was reported that one of the container ships has a load which should have been delivered in October. Now it is December. Wow!
Next, according to an article from April of 2019, China is developing the capability to load cruise missiles into containers and hide them on container ships. This comes from an article in Military and Commercial Technology, dated April 2, 2019. Having hidden missile technology inside an intermodal container, allows the Chinese to activate these weapons when the container is on a ship, on a train, or on a truck. Sweet. Now think of those almost 100 container ships, sitting off the coast of Southern California.
By the way, that same article did say the Israelis are also working on this missile in a container technology. I wonder if we are also?
In other news, the cat is now out of the bag with an exciting new technology. Well, not so exciting if you are on the receiving end of it. According to an NBC report dated yesterday, the United States has been working on Kamikaze Drones, or Suicide Drones for a while now. They have been tried out in Iraq, and Syria and Afghanistan.
In Utah recently, a defense contractor recently displayed its current version of this technology - the Switchblade 300. For a few thousand dollars, a small and inexpensive drone can be launched on the battlefield, carrying a small and lethal warhead. Rather than having a Predator Drone fire an expensive Hellfire missile to take out an auto with a bad guy in it, this works just as well. One expert said, this technology will change the battlefield as much as the machine gun did. Let that sink in for a minute.
This morning, Joe Biden will have a Zoom call with Putin to discuss Russia's plans for the Ukraine. Putin will tell Biden he does not want Ukraine in NATO. Biden will tell Putin we will get real, real angry if he does. And that is about it. Meanwhile, Russia continues to develop exotic weapons like hypersonic missiles and anti-satellite technology. As the world gets more and more dangerous, we have a kitten in the White House instead of a tiger. Don't think for a minute, that Putin and Xi do not know that. Not to mention Iran and North Korea also.
