It would appear that these folks who would have us believe that they are so smart and so sophisticated are nothing but a bunch of over educated clowns that don’t even realize that the Principle of the Six P’s cannot be ignored! No matter how smart you think you are, Piss Poor Planning Produces Poor Performance every time.

You thought the Russian’s would fold, they haven’t. You thought sanctioning would crush the Ruble, it didn’t. You thought the war would be short lived, if isn’t. You thought you could continue to bully the rest of the world with impunity, you can’t.

You thought you could poorly plan and prevail, you won’t.

And you thought that unintended consequences don’t apply to you, they most assuredly do.

As a World War Two guy it has always amazed me how people think we could fight a long conventional war with a serious power. Bombers that cost 2 billion dollars, 40 million dollar-a-piece fighter jets, million dollar tanks that get blown away by 10,000 missles etc, etc. Lose a few of those along with highly trained pilots and you can see the problem. As it stated in the piece, our manufacturing base is nearly gone. Who's gonna build these things. Gone are the days when a Liberty ship was built in a couple of days. B-17s rolling off the line every few minutes. We are in a very tight spot and everyday China gets stronger.
