So if our whole power projection platform is aircraft carriers and the ability to project power that way strategically around the globe, and yeah, we have a nuclear triad and all of that, but a big part of it.

And if 15 hypersonic missiles can take out our 10 aircraft carriers in the first 20 minutes of a conflict,

What does that look like?

I mean, and when they're, if they've already got us by the balls economically, which you pointed out very well, with our grid, culturally, there's plenty of elite capture going on around the globe.

I mean, and then microchips and everything.

And we are, we have our heads up our asses.

Yeah.

And that's the, yes, the terrorist threat of our border.
