MY NEW YORK POST COLUMN: America’s competence gap reveals a culture of failure — but there’s hope.
UN-READINESS: Running out of SM-3 at Sea? “One of the things that came up in yesterday’s Midrats was the intersection of a couple of bits of OSINT that, if correct on my part, is just another blinking red light warning that we are not equipping ourselves for a serious conflict west of the International Date Line. . . . The use of ballistic missiles by Iran twice this year to attack Israel and their ongoing use by proxies against, well, everyone, is not a ‘surprise.’ This has been known for a long time. Same as China’s ballistic missiles—both land attack and anti-ship—these too are not new, and their numbers are huge. Any military move by the US Navy west of the international date line will face thousands of conventionally armed ballistic missiles in addition to anti-ship cruised missiles, aircraft and submarines. Of all the challenges, the ballistic missiles are the hardest.”

The comeback is funny too. Columbus brought diversity to a continent in need of it. Cortez and Pizarro fought imperialists on behalf of those imperialists’ oppressed subjects. And wealth was redistributed.

EASING INTO THE 21ST CENTURY: Tesla Cybercab Robotaxi First Ride: Surviving a Trip in Tesla’s First Self-Driving Car. We didn’t ask what to do if the Cybercab started veering off-course. But we didn’t need to. “Yet myriad questions remain about the Tesla Cybercab’s viability. If its abilities are founded on software similar to the Full Self Driving system we frequently use on surface streets and highways, that’s overtly sketchy if there’s indeed no way for a human to intervene should the need arise. Our Model Y’s Full Self Driving constantly makes decisions that range from careless to dangerously moronic. It forces us to stay vigilant and remain ready to catch it out when it, for example, enters an intersection as the light turns red and creates gridlock, or misreads a speed limit sign and aggressively decelerates in the middle of flowing freeway traffic.”
