4th Turning

It’s global crisis wildfire whack-a-mole now.

Ever since the United States achieved superpower status, the world gets a little wobbly whenever the president here is weak. Our current chief executive is run by committee. The bad people in the world know that they won’t be getting any decisive moves from the United States in response to anything they do, so they’re acting up.

Gosh, if only we’d been warned.

Plus,

The Army has started doing something about recruitment, replacing “woke” recruiting ads featuring diversity with more traditional ads featuring white men jumping out of airplanes, which led some wags to suggest – probably correctly – that this means they expect to have to fight soon. But it won’t be easy to undo the damage of recent years, including the wanton betrayal of Americans, and foreign allies, in Afghanistan. People noticed, and you can’t turn on a dime after something like that.

  1. Almost two years ago a soldier for the Canadian military sang the national anthem at the Blue Jays/Mariners playoff game wearing blue nail polish. You can make your own conclusion as to how this would be received by the kind of rugged individual who may consider volunteering for military service.

  2. Happy transgender day! I hope all you little kitties got a queer chocolate bunny. Put a bad taste in my mouth, but then again, straight white guy.
    Ohh…..forgot
    Talked 1 grandson out of joining the Air Farce, wait and see. Another young family member is turning down a 30k bonus to be a tank commander in Poland.
    Isn’t that close to Russia?

    Anyways… An old soldier helping his Queer president keep really good men here at home so we can fight the invasion.

  3. They forgot Rule #1 – You must have something of real value to encourage young men to fight for.

    1. Here’s an idea! Deploy the American military to defend America’s southern border and fight the Cartel … and watch recruitment soar.

  4. Actually, the military SHOULD put the “woke” on the front lines. Solves a few problems.

    1. @Art – “Actually, the military SHOULD put the “woke” on the front lines.”

      They will – If you can’t entice them to join willingly, the next step will be Conscription/ draft.

        1. LOL – possibly, although they have already started lowering recruitment standards, so I’m guessing they are getting ahead of that minor detail already.

          Guess it depends on whether you view transexuality as a mental disorder. The military seems to believe it’s a virtue today, as opposed to a Section 8 yesteryear.

          1. Virtually ALL ‘transexuality’ is a mental disorder. The rest is social contagion, attention seeking, Munchausen by proxy, etc.

  5. The enemies of the USA are now laughing at them. The most powerful military that the world has ever seen, reduced to a virtue-signalling joke. So sad.

  6. “You know it’s over when China’s “official” youth unemployment rate reaches double digits, while its Ministry of Finance reports a 16% drop in personal income tax collected year over year. ”

    And you know what’s good for getting rid of excess youth? Human wave attacks

    It would also solve some of their demographic mismatch issues

  7. from article: “There’s the Ukraine war, which involves Russia (kindasorta a great power, but not really nowadays)”

    I used to imagine that Russia had the second best military in the world.
    Now I understand that Russia really has just the second best military in Ukraine.

    1. As if Ukraine … even with almost $200 Billion US is beating Russia. Talk about cognitive dissonance… sheesh.
