In the age of drones how valuable are warships anymore anyway? And I wouldn't ask people in the military who stand to get promotions to staff these new ships if they get built.
I guess they have some value against Venezuela or Somalia, but against China or Russia? Pretty useless I would think...
Seems to me if a medium sized nation sent $50 million dollars worth of drones against a $13 billion aircraft carrier, would that carrier be able to fend off them all? How about $200 million worth of drones?
Wouldn't we be fighting the next war with the last wars munitions? Now I know brand new state of the art ships would be a massive ego boost for the admirals and captains, but would it really make sense?
Since this law prevents land owners from selling their land to whoever they want, the SCOTUS will rule against it. But SCOTUS knows they have to make such a ruling way way way before the next election in order to make sure the voters that are easily conned (MAGA for instance) forget that they did it.
Like how R women have forgotten how Dobbs' made them second class citizens but still vote R.
