Gov. Walz: “The Pentagon is not a bunch of green tree-huggers. It understands that it poses a risk to the climate, the environment, and national security.”
Climate Depot’s Morano Response: “Wrong! The Pentagon is absolutely ‘a bunch of green tree-huggers’ under Biden-Harris. The Pentagon has been hijacked by climate nuts who want to virtue signal to Net Zero while distorting U.S. military preparedness and focus. Make no mistake, the ACTUAL national security threat comes from climate POLICY, not ‘climate change.’” See: ‘Global warming’ causes war claims — debunked – ‘Warm periods are more peaceful than cold ones’ – Bonus Chapter #2 for Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change

A sampling of unscientific bullshit from Biden-Harris U.S. military leaders:
Via Military.com: The 50-page plan, which is an extension of the service’s overall Army Climate Strategy released earlier this year, offers a series of ambitious goals to meet Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s 2021 call to “immediately take appropriate policy actions to prioritize climate change considerations” as the Pentagon points to several instances of climate change-related events that have affected the services.
The Climate Strategy Implementation Plan said: “While the Army cannot address all or even most GHG emissions, the right initiatives, investments, and policies can significantly reduce Army GHG emissions while at the same time enhancing readiness.” … The Army is looking to further reduce that consumption, while battening down the hatches for the damage climate change will likely bring. …

It [the pentagon] understands that it poses a risk to […] national security.”
What is this guy’s definition of national security?
I recall that Ag Secretary Earl Butz said it involved ‘loose shoes.’
Obviously, a strategic reserve of algae . . . that, and a large stockpile of ray guns to defeat the CO2 monsters that pose an existential threat to the Bidens and Harrises and, now, Walzes of the world.
Idiots like Wlaz are the real threat to national security !
What “it” ? Such a short clip…no context…probably should evaluate the guy’s abilities on more than this short clip.
A military that is run on pseudo-fuel, with imaginary gaseous enemies, and can be attacked with tactical pronouns…what could go wrong?
I know what could go wrong. Since the warmunists believe that fossil fuels, cows, and deniers are the true enemies of state, maybe they’ll call in a nuclear strike on all of us, in the name of national security.
tactical pronouns. New and improved! I like it!
The main question that begs is …. do we have enough blue hair dye, tampons and lipstick and can we up production to a war time footing to support the women leading the charge in the field…. We should have a draft for strong independent women and make the soy boys work the tampon factories…. and what about emergency pig rings for their noses so they can jump start their brains… Its amazing how politicians think we can run the armed forces on their BS and unicorn farts…. Anyway they should send this Walz clown to the front line in Ukraine so he knows what an actual war zone looks like and then he can see the parallel with his cities….
The idea isn’t new.

If I’m not mistaken, an A-10 made a test flight using the biofuel. It only cost about $60/gallon back in Obama’s reign.
What a bargain! /s
Tree huggers? More like innumerate socialist virtue signallers.
I analyzed data from an Algae Love-In conference in 2010 in Scottsdale. They proposed capturing the CO2 emitted from the APL Apache coal fired power plant which produced enough CO2 to make 5,000 bbl/day of fuel from algae. This project would use open trough ponds and skimming of algae continuously to produce fatty oils for fuel.
Just a few problems with this concept. The algae field would be 64 square miles in area, cost $32 Billion (in 2010) dollars and only capture 1/2 the CO2 from the power plant as algae don’t photosynthesis at night (duh!). And the energy required to move the water around and filter the algae out was equivalent to the energy recovered from the algae. And the water loss due to evaporation would be 10 vertical feet a year in a desert climate.
This doesn’t even take into account the cleaning of sand and salt that build up in the open troughs and many other maintenance issues, nor the cross-contamination of the algae strains that produce oil with native strains that don’t.
What a total waste of time that conference was. And no one there cared to do these calculations even though they had all the information from presentations at the conference.
Greens don’t understand math.
Shorten it and it is still true.
Greens don’t understand.
They do not understand their own, proprietary “science”
Doc,
That reminds me of a project someone undertook near Inyokern CA, though orders of magnitude smaller – a frog farm. This is in the desert. After digging many ponds and erecting a bunch of buildings, it went bust.
Anyone that ran the numbers could have predicted that.
We moved in nearby in 1989 and wondered at the remnants. Later, some civic minded individual tired of looking at the ruins, or maybe pot smoking kids hiding out, set it all on fire. It went up like a small A-bomb. Now the current crop of local meathead kids endlessly ride their dirtbikes there.
I have to throw out another local hair brained scheme that got partially completed. Up on the bajada under highway 14 some old coot started making a golf course. This area is constantly windy, in fact, it’s been the site of many blown over semi’s. I can only imagine the skill it would have taken to compensate the built in hooks and slices depending on if you are driving south or north. The local papers were all over this as a boost to the local economy etc etc. You just had to laugh. The scars are still there, from high up on Owen’s Ridge you can trace out the 18 courses, slowly fading away
I am offended,,,, how dare you present data and facts….. you know spreading the truth costs lives….
One experiment that actually makes some sense is to use aircraft carrier’s nuclear power to synthesize jet fuel while enroute to some theatre that may not have a friendly source for fuel. I doubt they can make all they need and I’m sure it would be more expensive than mid-east jet fuel, but at least the risk of contaminated fuel designed to damage jet turbines would be minimized.
I had heard they extract CO2 from seawater as being more efficient than extracting from air. Sounds sensible. I read that years ago, I’ve heard little since then. This is the best I found in Google.
From https://patentyogi.com/aircraft/us-navy-plans-produce-jet-fuel-seawater-board-aircraft-carriers/ :
Sounds great. How much power does the process take per pound of jet fuel produced? How much excess power does a nuclear carrier have while merely cruising? How much volume does the process take (there isn’t a lot of spare room on a nuclear carrier).
Liquid hydrocarbon fuels are indispensable. Peak oil will in fact arrive at some point in the future, even if that day now appears to be very far off.
Eighty years from now beginning early in the 22nd Century, the world will see the commercial production of liquid hydrocarbon fuels from seawater using high temperature supercritical nuclear reactors optimized for that purpose.
“Eighty years from now beginning . . . using high temperature supercritical nuclear reactors . . .”
Ummm . . . would that be using high temperature supercritical nuclear fusion reactors? . . . they’re more mature than the proposed process to produce jet fuel from seawater.
ROTFL.
High temperature supercritical fission reactors are among the several types of advanced reactors now under study.
Supercritical fission reactors would be more efficient in their consumption of nuclear fuel as well as having advantages over conventional reactors for supplying indusrial process heat.
As for commercial scale fusion power …. This is just my opinion here, but none of us reading this article will be alive to see it happen, if indeed it ever happens at all.
You could have stopped your post right there. 😉
Is it really that certain?
Call me a skeptic.
As it concerns oil in the ground, peak oil is out there at some point in the long-term future. Since liquid hydrocarbon fuels are indispensable, a gradual transition will occur whereby such fuels will be mostly synthesized rather than being mostly extracted. The end of the 21st Century or the beginning of the 22nd Century is as good a guess as any.
There are unlimited hydrocarbons in this solar system. Whether captured from other planets, moons, asteroids or Keiper belt objects or from Earth itself.
Peak oil is a fantasy by those believing they know all sources of hydrocarbons on planet Earth.
e.g., Carbonate rock underlie many continents. Nuclear power, could, use heat and pressure to convert carbonate rock into hydrocarbons.
Peak oil? Pure fantasy by those who do not understand Earth’s chemical makeup or mankind’s capabilities right now.
Let alone technology 80 years in the future.
The peak oil is probably much further down the line. With ever better technologies we are able to extract what previously was unattainable or did not make commercial sense.There is much more coal out there than oil, and the peak coal is even more further down the line. Liquefication of coal is much more plausible proposition, already commercially used.
I am speaking of peak oil as it applies to oil extracted from the ground. Peak oil as it applies to oil extracted from the ground is out there somewhere in the long-term future. We will know peak oil has happened only after it is already in the rear view mirror.
The end of the 21st Century or the beginning of the 22nd Century for peak oil is as good a guess as any as it concerns oil extracted from the ground.
Since liquid hydrocarbon fuels are indispensable, a gradual transition will occur whereby such fuels will be mostly synthesized rather than being mostly extracted. When that transition happens is a matter of conjecture.
Whether the source of the hydrocarbon molecules is coal plus some source of fresh water, or whether the source is CO2 from seawater plus hydrogen from seawater — one way or another, we will not run out of liquid hydrocarbon fuels as long as we are willing to pay the necessary price per gallon for fuel.
We have not yet seen a fully comprehensive analysis of the costs of using nuclear power as a source of industrial process energy for producing synthesized liquid carbon fuels. Someone will get around to it eventually.
Ah yes, Popular Mechanics 101; speculate and fantasize. A useless gesture unless one is writing science fiction stories.
One shouldn’t forget that predictions from science fiction stories are often far off the mark except those predictions made by authors who deeply researched current and planned technology.
Any naval ship that substantially extracts CO₂ from seawater, then converts that CO₂ into fuel will be a floating refinery easily targeted by any enemy.
Then those floating refineries will become an extremely expensive reef.
There are reasons government should not be conducting technical research as high ranking officers tend interfere with their prejudices. This is most often seen in the immense cost overruns.
So sailors and their officers are now supposed to be chemical engineers? Where is the space to be allocated to this fuel production facility? What new operational risks does such an operation impose on the fleet? All ships place a premium on interior volume, unlike land based facilities, and fuel safety is a major concern (onboard fires are a nightmare on carriers given the fueled aircraft on deck and all the weapons carried on aircraft and stored in magazines below deck).
Only a dreamy knucklehead could come up with a “solution” like this to a problem that does not even exist.
Aircraft carriers already store a great deal of hydrocarbon fuel onboard, which is used to fuel the embarked aircraft and also to fuel other escort ships (typically DDGs) as needed. Carrier battle groups also typically include, besides half a dozen escort ships to provide air, surface, and subsurface defense to the carrier, a couple of oilers to replenish fuel stores for the group. Any onboard volume dedicated to installing a fuel production facility on the carrier would have to come at the expense of the existing onboard fuel storage volume.
Duane, the retired Navy personnel that I work with, most of them former Navy nukes, tell me that many of the Navy’s fleet oilers and underway replenishment ships have been retired without replacement to save money. From what these people tell me, the US Navy’s ability to resupply itself at sea isn’t nearly what it was twenty years ago. In their opinion, the situation isn’t likely to improve any time soon.
Bad political policy and/or bad technology choices by high ranking officers.
Any money they spend on research has been and will be similarly wasted.
That capability has declined under each democrat president and some Republican presidents.
Wasting funds on green fantasies always conflict with harsh reality.
How will the ships performance be affect by the diversion of energy from propulsion in this scheme?
Sounds like a really bad fire hazard. It’s bad enough as it is just storing flammable jet fuel, let alone having a plant to make it.
Hmmm. How do you regenerate the IX resin? You need a large source of H+ ions to do that. Plus the carbonate and bicarbonate ions in the seawater will neutralize the H+ ions. That may be the source of CO2 they are planning on, but you are still left with the limits of the IX resins.
On space tight hot racking nuclear powered naval vessels they want to build in fuel synthesizing hardware/process that consumes a substantial portion the the reactor’s power?
“Hot racking” is where one bunk is shared by sailors working different shifts.
The navy does not pose a threat to ‘the climate’.
Instead Sen, Walz is a clear and present danger to the safety and integrity of the United States.
Nitpick — Walz is the far-left MN governor, not a senator.
Walz tells so many lies, it is impossible to know when he speaks any truth.
The US Navy is a clear and present and future danger to our wallets, spending money like drunken sailors
The US Navy, like all of DoD, spends only the money that Congress authorizes for it in its approved annual budget.
The “clear and present danger” is obvious . . . and it’s not the US Navy . . . get a clue!
They sleep in the same bed, bought and paid for, snoozing along, while screwing all others with Media-spread bull manure
Get with the real world
Not sure if you live in the USA or not, but if so you are always free to emigrate to a different nation out in “the real world” that doesn’t have a navy and Congress sleeping “in the same bed, bought and paid for, snoozing along, while screwing all others with Media-spread bull manure.”
Let me know if you need help buying the ticket.
Walz is a classic watermelon.
Roughly the right shape too.
After Border Czar Kamala Harris picked Tim Walz to be her vp running mate, we discover that was in favor of putting tampon dispensers in boys’ bathrooms in schools. I understand that he’s now being called ‘Tampon Tim‘ on social media. Not that I would call him that, of course.
Because he stops the red wave 😉
Please update your rhetoric – the Vice President was not, ever, The Border Czar. The MSM has told us that, so it must be true.
Hey, we had a climate czar, John Kerry. What happened to him, he resigned to work full time on re-electing Joe Biden. Now it’s total crickets from him because he has nothing to say.
Czar is just a colloquial name assigned to anybody with a leadership role in any organization. Obviously the United States does not have an official job title of “Czar”, so arguing that she wasn’t the Czar of border controls is disingenuous.
Harris was openly assigned by Biden as the lead in the Biden administration in fixing the “root causes” of illegal immigration. Under her watch, illegal immigration skyrocketed (more than 10 million increase in just 3 years). So she most certainly WAS the Czar of illegal immigration and border controls, and she failed miserably in resolving the “root causes” of illegal immigration.
Liberal weanies only believe in the need for a capable military when one of their own is in the White House, preferably directed at the perceived friends of Trump like Vlad Putin, Victor Orban, or Elon Musk.
I didn’t realize there were so many liberal weanies commenting here at WUWT.
I don’t think you understand just how your comment comes across.
That is egregiously wrong in concept and reality. Instead it sounds just like common MSM propaganda for gullible liberal weanies..
I will not upvote that.
Let’s hope Kamalala gets the last Walz.
He will stomp on her toes
Here’s another area Trump/Vance should focus on.
National Security is a winning issue for Trump. He can get the Pentagon back on the mission of preventing and winning wars. He can promise to clean house, purge the DEI generals, the greenish and the woke. Get recruiting back on track and restore our military as the best there is.
I approve of that regardless of the President’s name.
The ONLY responsibility of the military is maximum readiness for the next military crisis.
The government should not pay for and the military should not allow any medical procedure associated with trans sexual. Life long medications are not associated with readiness.
If a person chooses to go through something like that, that is their business. They can resign or go on medical leave or whatever. But not with my tax dollars. Not to the detriment of unit cohesion and readiness.
It looks like he is getting the same kind of treatment that John Kerry got in his run for president. Swift Boat veterans hopped on Kerry’s claims about his service in Vietnam which were also false. Personally, I’m happy to see Walz “Swift Boated”.
Walz definitely misrepresented his military service. The Democrats are going to have a hard time lying themselves out of this one.
I heard one military veteran who commented on Walz’ exaggerations, and he said your average person may not make much out of this misrepresentation, but he said that Pennsylvania, and Minnesota, and Wisconsin and Virginia each had about 500,000 or 600,000 veterans living there in those Battleground States, and Walz’ lying about his military service *would* make a difference to the veterans.
Walz is a proven liar.
Well, c’mon, cut the moron some slack. He’s a commie/prog/socialist, it’s what they do. Sorta like snakes and scorpions they bite or sting cuz its their nature.
Is it even theoretically possible to out lie Harris?
Kamala is a practiced liar, like most Democrat politicians, but she doesn’t do very well when challenged on her lies. She can spew the lies, but she can’t defend the lies.
She is greatly practiced, but remains a poor liar, because she deals in sound bites, without understanding the structure, background and reasons of the lies.
Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, etc., are the masters. They are the true forked tongues on any issue.
Kamala’s description of storing data in the “cloud” is hilarious.
You nailed her inability to understand what she is lying about. Well stated.
Birds of a feather flock together
They play kabuki games regarding who can out-BS the long suffering, impoverished, brainwashed public the most.
I am quite pessimistic that this country will survive through the next election regardless of who is elected.
If enough Republicans are elected the country can get back on the right track.
There is a path back to normalcy. But it won’t happen with radical Democrats in charge. In that case, things will get much worse than they are now.
There is no way except close scrutiny of their long term actions to differentiate actual Republicans from 5th columnists. Even then one probably needs to apply a significant actions filter.
Repeat that with Democrats replacing Republicans in the sentence. Both are accurate.
We are talking Bolsheviks here, emotional, unhinged and violent who get their backing from three letter agencies that specialize in coup d’etats and color revolutions.
Tyrants don’t just shrug their shoulders and walk off for four years and scheme for another try at the multi-trillion dollar international slush fund. They do things like conspire to gun down their political opponents and throw in to prison any of the cohorts.
While I concur with you political philosophy, it does not address how divided society is on so many real and fabricated issues.
Today every issue boils down to you are either my friend or my enemy. Totally binary with no middle ground. Combined this with an ever growing predilection for violence as an accepted means of expression and I can see Civil War breaking out all across the country.
That is the point of my pessimism.
Tom, I at least somewhat agree with Sparta. “If enough Republicans are elected” I fear the left will never accept it, and could resort to “whatever means necessary” to oppose it. Summer of Love would be a child’s tantrum by comparison.
Hopefully, I’m wrong, but I won’t count on it.
In 2008, BP, Shell, Chevron, and Exxon all announced multihundred million$ investments in algal biofuels. By ye 2022, all had failed and stopped their initiatives. Stolen valor Walz doesn’t know very much, it seems.
Tampon Walz, owner of a ladder company to help illegals across the wall, false claimer of valor, falsely claiming deployment in Afghanistan, a friend of the Quad and Somalis, and untraditional pronouns, is unwilling to accept reality 81.5% of world energy was supplied by fossil fuels in 2023.
Walz and Kackala are in the wrong country – they should move to China…or Venezuela…Cuba….Iran….North Korea….bye bye.
Walz has a lot of questionable connections to the Chicoms. I think he has been to China about 30 times, and does business with the Chicoms. He sings the praises of China, and suposedly, the Chicom Media is very enthusiastic about him being on the ticket.
Or New York. ;-)) Or Kalifornia.
Walz is a serial liar about his National Guard Service, and he is a total idiot regarding algae for making fuel oil.
Exxon abandoned its pilot plant because of dismal results; a lot of effort and energy in and almost no fuel out
Russia and China would love the US Navy on algae oil, including the nuclear subs and carriers
OMG, why did that cackling idiot Harris pick an even a greater idiot
TONE IT DOWN, said a panicking Pelosi.
Finally the wheels are coming off the wokeness mania
How could Minnesotans be so stupid to elect Walz.
Each time he opens his mouth, out comes nonsense!
OMG
Easy. He allowed Minnesotan Somalis to steal $250 million in pandemic relief funds. Kickbacks go a long way toward buying elections.
Did they get away with it or is there now a new upper class neighborhood of fancy mansions owned by Somalis?
House Republicans have discovered that the Democrats are pouring money into the Democrat campaign from unknown sources and are fraudulently attributing these donations to unsuspecting private citizens who know nothing about money being donated to Democrats in their name.
The Democrats are using anonymous gift cards as a vehicle to send money to the Democrats. They buy the gift cards, and donate money from them, and attribute the donation to a private citizen.
So when you hear the Democrats crowing about all the money they are bringing in and how a large percentage of that money is coming from “the little guys” and from first-time donors, you should be skeptical.
The House Republicans have asked the Federal Election Commission to issue an Emergency Halt to this practice, as nobody knows where this money is coming from. It could be coming from anywhere and from anyone. The Democrat Party is laundering money from somewhere.
Ukraine? China? Some other source which has benefited from taxpayer funds?
That would be my guess.
The Chicoms definitely don’t want Trump back in office. Nor does Russia, or the Mad Mullahs of Iran.
The story of the Somali Civil War(s) and the subsequent diaspora of refugees is way beyond complicated, probably because it has been obscured by multiple layers of political correctness. My question is, did MN take in the displaced Marxists or Islamists?
BIOFUELS FROM POND ALGAE
https://www.windtaskforce.org/profiles/blogs/biofuels-from-pond-algae
Since 2009, ExxonMobil and Synthetic Genomics have been partners in research and development of oil from algae to produce biofuels to replace traditional transportation fuels.
In 2017, ExxonMobil and Synthetic Genomics announced breakthrough research published in Nature Biotechnology that resulted in a modified algae strain that more than doubled oil content without significantly inhibiting growth, a key challenge along the path to commercial scalability.
In the California desert near the Salton Sea and the tiny town of Calipatria, an acre-size rectangular pond is filled with saltwater and algae. The pond is one of several at the site for the production of biofuel at scale.
“The goal is a sustainable, renewable biofuel that can be cost-competitive with pumping oil out of the ground, but can scale to levels that go far beyond demonstration levels, according to Oliver Fetzer, chief executive officer at Synthetic Genomics.
Gershkovich and Whelan US Spies “Wrongfully Detained?”
https://www.windtaskforce.org/profiles/blogs/gershkovich-and-whelan-were-us-spies-not-wrongfully-detained
What on earth was Gershkovich thinking as he waltzed into a war-zone, sniffing around in Russia’s military drawer?
.
Thanks to the marvel of modern technology, however, there is compelling audio/visual evidence to show, Gershkovich had done an admirable job of incriminating himself.
.
Just seconds before Russian operatives swooped in to make their arrest, the reporter is heard reassuring the official from the Russian defense industry (who, in fact, was an FSB agent) that the necessary precautions have been taken to prevent any possible, you know, ‘misunderstandings.’
“We won’t even write that we saw the documents,” he said.
.
Then, sinking deeper into the incriminating morass, he said, in suspiciously impressive Russian, “we won’t be suspected of gathering [info] and no-one will be suspected of leaking [it].”
.
That slick remark is followed by Gershkovich telling his source that he wanted him to “leave [the data] at home…this is only an interview.”
.
RT has obtained an exclusive video showing the moment Russian law enforcement detained Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, as he attempted to hide what appeared to be a flash drive with illegally obtained classified data. The FSB agent had given it to him. Gershkovich walked into a trap.
.
Obviously, Gershkovich had been under FSB surveillance, which includes monitoring communications.
.
The previously unpublished video, released on Monday, shows Gershkovich’s arrest in March 2023 in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg
.
The journalist is seen sitting in a restaurant with his ‘source,’ as the pair discuss, in Russian, how to hand over secret data on the country’s defense industry in a way that won’t allow the authorities to track the leak.
.
As Russian operatives swoop in, Gershkovich, on video, tries to hide what appears to be a flash drive containing the data under the table before being arrested.
.
Commenting on the incident at the time, the Kremlin said the reporter had been “caught red-handed”
Russia’s Investigative Committee claimed he had engaged in espionage on behalf of the CIA.
.
Gershkovich knew he was handling classified Russian data (EXCLUSIVE VIDEO)
.
Moscow previously said that the now-released WSJ journalist had attempted to gain intel on the national defense industry. Watch Evan’s hand under the table.

Gershkovich has denied any wrongdoing and insisted he was merely doing his job as a “reporter”.
.
While the administration of US President Joe Biden declared Gershkovich – the first American reporter arrested on espionage allegations since the Cold War – as “wrongfully detained,” a Russian court sentenced him to 16 years in prison last month.
The government is a big problem, it needs to be whittled down to size now.
Walz claims to be a war vet- but J.D. Vance, in a video today, said Walz never saw combat.
Walz was never in a war zone, and he didn’t retire as a Command Sargeant Major, as he has claimed on numerous occasions.
Walz was the senior NCO of a Minnesotal National Guard artillery unit. He and his unit deployed to Italy but that’s as close to a war zone as he ever got, and a few weeks before his unit was notified they were going to Iraq, he retired. Many of his fellow troops are very unhappy with him and his behavior.
And some of those Guardsmen came back injured or worse, while Will was running for Congress and bragging about tough it was to be in Iraq.
This is like Hillary Clinton flying over Somalia, claiming through bullets, but the crew later saying, they were not anywhere near any action
Yeah, Hillary claimed she had to dodge bullets over in Kosovo, too.
That was another lie she told.
I just learned two of the Walz battalion sent to Iraq were killed there, presumably while Walz was running away to campaign for a much better deal than a sergeant first class, i.e., US Senator.
He is seen in videos waving his arms and lying about his service in a war zone, carrying the weapons of war he wants to outlaw in the US to neuter a free people
I think this a spin off from the energy shortage back in the “Great Recession” of
07-09. There was some genitically modified algae that was said to mimic crude oil.
There was a company, Sapphire Energy that flew a big jet around the country on fuel
made from algae. One of the big points made was fuel being made from the N-P-K
waste nutrients in sewage waste water. There was a big-disruptive innovation- play
between several players. One was diesel made from seed oil and the one which
won was fracking. I think the patent on the green crude ended up being sold for next
to nothing to a farmer.. This Watz guy is a complete head case..
Still wondering where these fools expect to obtain carbon-free ordnance and zero-emissions explosives. They won’t even get a single boarding cutlass without fossil fuels, not to mention tar for their caulking, if they think to return to 1750s technology.
When approaching the enemy, call to them using the wrong pronouns.
They will immediately have a hissy-fit and demand a safe space in order to wail and gnash their teeth while screaming about troglodytes not respecting their preferred manner of address.
Meanwhile, we could move on to the next target.
There are t-shirt canons, so why not pronoun canons?
If there was any doubt about why the Kamala Harris team chose Tim Walz his own opinions and words give us the clear reason.
He is as oblivious to reality as she is. A perfect choice for running mate. He is not known as Dim Tim without reason, he and Kamala will get along perfectly.
I have a feeling the nuclear power that drives the largest military assets in the world will continue to do that. Not having to refuel an aircraft carrier or nuclear submarine every few thousand miles travelled on active duty, is a huge military advantage.
The Al Gore/algae believers like Walz, need to visit real science a bit more.
Two points.
“Green” energy has no place in the military. Any fighter on a battlefield needs stronger guns and faster vehicles (tanks, planes, etc.) than the enemy. A fighter in a battlefield could get killed in a second, and is not worried about whether climate change may make his life slightly inconvenient 50 years later. He needs a fuel-efficient, fast vehicle to be able to avoid enemy fire, and doesn’t care about what comes out of the tailpipe.
Is the nonsense around Western military (alga, trans, the population with a 25% suicide rate, in the army) a conspiracy to fool Putin into raising again and again, growing the pot, and ending being committed in a silly conflict in Ukraine?
