Our landscaper who’s a mixture of Hawaiian, Japanese and White said his son is the drummer for the band Disturbed and while on tour in Europe they were given iodine medication as a precaution to a Russian nuclear event.
I told him we heard a military jet on the South shore a couple days ago which was unusual. We have the Pacific Missile Range on the West side of the island that does a lot of testing and advanced development but there’s no fighter jets located there. He said there have been Chinese ships near Hawaii in international waters.
He went on to say how messed up the country is militarily. He said Generals have become too woke focusing on the wrong things. He served years ago but said we are greatly understaffed now and it’s getting worse. He further said if a draft was reinstated the country’s young would draft dodge worse than VN.
He then went off on how screwed up our economy has gotten with Biden’s war on fossil fuels which has caused a ripple effect on food prices, difficulty getting fertilizer and even 2 cycle oil for his machines.
We have a lot in common because he lived in Ft Wayne for a period of time and has children living In Indiana and Michigan. Additionally he lived in Orange County CA before moving back to Kauai (his mother is from Kauai). He said he gave up on politics years ago having last voted for Bush the dad and he has no intention voting in the future.
I bring this up because he thinks this country is going down hill fast and feels frustrated that he has very little control of what is happening. IMO this country needs another Reagan so badly now
