#1 Perhaps some Tjeld-Class patrol boats could be purchased from Norway.

#3 Richard Fernandez over at the Belmont Club documents Japan and the Euros seeking to rearm. It's another interesting example of the Left who plastered Ronald Reagan as a militarist and war monger (remember putting the cruise missiles in Europe) can't see that it all led to the actually implementation of the reduction of nuclear warheads/delivery systems rather than the usual game of limits which were an increase in overall numbers. Now we have a Lefty 'bug out' Prez who is by his dictates and actions is not only reducing the nation's defense but creating an environment that is witnessing the increase of warheads/delivery systems in the world. They can not connect the dots as they're locked into ideological beliefs that while naively simplistic are not backed by 4000 year of real human history. They are creating an environment far more likely to lead to another great conflagration.

#5 A few Swift boats and throw in a Lucky hat and we're in business.

No... wait.. Perhaps an Asheville or 2? Are there any left?

#6 Hummm... exactly 2 are left in commission. Giving them an LCS would be like giving your next door neighbors kid the basic Barbie Doll.... very wrong.

#7 When this despicable regime first took office I gave my wife a list of predictions.
