Totally true. Credibility is a must! As the saying goes, no better friend no worse enemy. Knowing that hombre wears a white hat and is a good chap, but muck about and he’ll be your death. Many cultures, including the Islamic death cult, the Chinese growing juggernaut, or the Russian re-awakening vampire ....alll GET strength. What they do not understand is weakness. What they do not see is the faint. What they do not comprehend is surrender. The great threat in the next 2 decades will be China. The US is currently far ahead, but that lead is getting degraded. They’ll never surpass the technological edge of the US, but they do not need to - they only need to get close enough, and that will suffice. The US is getting less and less credible. In my book, that’s a cogent risk.
A thing of beauty, if ever there was one.
You'd know, if anyone would.

Does “Broken Chopsticks” mean any thing to you?

It’s been 30 years, but yea I do remember Broken Chopsticks and Broken Arrow. My job during the movement of these and simulated accident drills was to operate a sound powered telephone in the flight deck bomb farm and relate to the Weapons Control down below everything that was happening above.
One of the best Cold War movie ever made.
I lobbied for just that on 9-12. We should have destroyed Mecca or Medina to the last man and building. To defeat the Muslims, you must defeat their belief in their god. Destroy every symbol of that religion, and you destroy the entirety of their faith and movement. That would be a very good thing on this planet.
