Taiwan has been an island of freedom and prosperity, thriving beneath the looming shadow of communism thanks to implicit protection by the USA. This will not last. An invasion is imminent — if the ChiComs have seen this:

The Navy is training its members to create a “safe space” by using proper gender pronouns in a new instructional video modeled after a children’s show.

“Hi! My name is Jony, and I use he/him pronouns,” Naval Undersea Warfare Center engineer Jony Rozon, who sports a rainbow-colored t-shirt, states in the video’s opening.

It isn’t just the Navy.

The Army mandates similar gender identity training and trains officers on when to offer subordinates gender-transition surgery, the Washington Free Beacon reported in March. These programs are part of a larger push by the Biden administration to make the military more welcoming to transgender individuals.

Watch in horror at what the enemy within has done to the Armed Forces:

Then there is this:

Less than a month after a US Air Force base in Germany cancelled a series of drag shows, including a Drag Queen Story Hour for kids, nearby army base Kleber Kaserne is hosting its own drag story time event, for kids.

The event is being hosted by the KMC Theater Guild on June 30 and will feature “Drag Story Time for all ages,” a “history of drag,” and a “discussion on theater inclusivity.” The “out of character family-friendly Pride event” will be held live on stage, and is touted as a “family friendly Pride event.”

We have seen what “family friendly” means in the context of events featuring drag queens.

The military has been repurposed. Once it defended American liberty. Now it has a new objective: to promote degeneracy on behalf of liberals.

While our military devotes itself to pandering to the sexually deranged, China’s has other priorities:

China’s launch of a new aircraft carrier, its third and the second built entirely at home, speaks to Beijing’s ambitions to become a military power of global standing and reach.

A consequence of Biden and the moonbattery he personifies being allowed to take power will be the end of Taiwan. This will produce further consequences, including a crisis closer to home due to our reliance on Taiwan for computer chips.

Actions have consequences, which in turn have further consequences. The US military puts political hacks like Mark Milley in charge, identifies white men as the primary enemy, christens a ship after an infamous child molester, and runs recruiting ads like this:

The butt-sniffing apparatchiks at the top of the command structure systematically purge the ranks of those likely to resist leftist indoctrination and follow with a purge of those unwilling to submit to an unreasonable vaccine mandate.

All this moonbattery has produced an unsurprising consequence:

The Army is reducing its total active-duty force numbers over the next several years due to recruiting difficulties — an unprecedented step, according to some military experts.

Even as foreign threats grow in seriousness, Army manpower is at its lowest level since World War II.

Senate Armed Services Committee Ranking Member Jim Inhofe (R-OK) called it “more serious than any recruiting challenge that I’ve experienced in the years that I’ve been here.”

The source of the problem has been identified:

Retired Army Lt. Gen. Thomas Spoehr, director of the Heritage Foundation’s Center for National Defense, told Breitbart News in an interview in March, “There is a sense among the American public that the military is becoming increasingly political and that topics such as race and gender equity, critical race theory, and wokeism in general are commanding more attention, at the cost of readiness.”

The good news is that what recruits the Army does get show a lot of flair when they make TikTok dance videos.

This consequence will in turn have consequences. It’s not clear what these will be, but it couldn’t hurt to learn some Chinese.

Looks like the USA has been providing military advice to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Under Commander in Chief Joe Biden, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, the Pentagon does not provide the same advice it did back in the days when its purpose was to win wars rather than to implement social engineering schemes on behalf of the radical left:

It was bad enough watching nurses dance to achieve 15 seconds of social media fame when they were supposed to be swamped with the Covid crisis. Here’s what our gender equity-oriented armed forces are up to under moonbat rule:

Meanwhile, our adversaries prepare to advance. Nothing invites aggression like weakness.
