I think the current administration's national security team recognizes and understands the threat.
The issue is, is how to solve it.
And there is an attitude of, well, there's not enough money.
There's not enough time.
We don't have the shipbuilding industry.
We let go over 35 years or more.
And so they're saying, let's build this hybrid fleet of unmanned vehicles and manned ships.
I don't see much written or much attention on the manned ships part, the big capital ships, carriers, destroyers, frigates, fast attack submarines.
All I hear about and read about on a daily basis is all these small drone ships, like 24-foot-long drone ships.
And no one is telling me how we're going to get 24-foot-long drone ships flying.
from San Diego or San Francisco into the Western Pacific to fight a war at sea with the PLA Navy.
And that is a big ask.
And so what I'm saying is we need people that are not just going to wish this away because we don't have money or we don't have the will.
We are Americans.
And if we're going to win this thing, we need everything in the kit bag.
And we can have drones and we can have artificial
ships to fight a war at sea we are going to end up having the PLA Navy rolling through the Hawaiian Islands and onto our west coast because that's the Navy that the
Chinese Communist Party is built over the last 25 to 30 years.
If the Chinese Communist Party is unable to get the island of Taiwan to kowtow to them and to become their
open puppet and to claim sovereign territory over Taiwan through non-kinetic means.
