We just lost a world war. Now what?
Our domestic enemies just gave our foreign enemies every blueprint to every bit of equipment we have. The Taliban have thousands of our armored vehicles and even Blackhawk helicopters. I’m sure that the best Chinese and Russian hackers will be in those electronics in days. Within 45 days, they will have everything compromised, and be totally inside our communication and command & control. We will be unable to defend Taiwan, Guam, Hawaii, or DC.
This is no accident. Nobody is this incompetent. I am not going to touch on the issue of bringing the traitors to justice; I want to discuss something else.
Q: How do we rebuild our national security?
A:
Fire everyone who might be an enemy spy. Fire every non-white-male in the company. Every chick, every black, every Asian is gone on Monday morning, 8/23/2021.
Build an all-drone military. The advantage is that you can take 10% of your military every 18 months and pit 2 generals against each other in live-fire exercises. There’s no “It just has a few bugs we’ll fix.” It works or it does not. We destroy maybe 7% of our military every 18 months for a decade after we start getting these all-drone task forces operational.
Every drone is a single-purpose machine. Take the Fighter Mafia’s concept of “not a pound for air to ground” to a new level. Apply single-purpose design to everything. If 2 things can merge with minimal cost, we will consider that later after we have 2 operational single-purpose vehicles.
As an example, for an air-to-air gun fighter, start with a gun and an engine. Rebuild the computer chips, airframes, and sensors from scratch. This will take years unless we demand a SpaceX-like environment. It’s December 8th, 1941 all over again. We need to start designing tanks, sub-hunters, gun fighters, missile fighters, bombers, CAS aircraft, and much more immediately.
After we have operational drones, we will need to test them against each other in live fights like I mentioned previously. We will have to completely re-engineer each system several times before we hit an optimal system.
The problem is, we don’t have the time. The Chinese are taking Taiwan a bit over 45 days from now, and the Russians are taking Poland about the same time. We are helpless, unless we trigger MAD, which we will not.
