'Distrust and verify': Pompeo equates approach to China as similar to Soviets

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo speaks at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, Thursday, July 23, 2020, in Yorba Linda, Calif

President Nixon’s historic opening to China in the 1970s was based on hope that engagement with China — flourishing diplomatic and business ties ­— would produce a moderate, nonthreatening regime in Beijing. Successive administrations, both Republican and Democrat, adopted conciliatory China approaches in the hope of producing an era of cooperation and friendship.Mr. Pompeo in his speech called for a new approach, engaging the Chinese people who he said are not the same as the 90 million-member CCP that took power in 1949.

USS Headache: Navy's newest aircraft carrier stymied by snafus from the start

By Mike Glenn - The Washington Times - Sunday, July 19, 2020

The USS Gerald R. Ford is a massive, gray-hulled city on the sea. Powered by two nuclear reactors, it is longer than three football fields and displaces 100,000 tons. When the air wing is attached, the Ford provides a base for dozens of jets and helicopters and more than 4,500 sailors.But it was conceived as far more than just another Navy aircraft carrier,

USS Headache: Navy's newest aircraft carrier stymied by snafus from the start

By Mike Glenn - The Washington Times - Sunday, July 19, 2020

The USS Gerald R. Ford is a massive, gray-hulled city on the sea. Powered by two nuclear reactors, it is longer than three football fields and displaces 100,000 tons. When the air wing is attached, the Ford provides a base for dozens of jets and helicopters and more than 4,500 sailors.But it was conceived as far more than just another Navy aircraft carrier, and that’s where the Navy problems start.The Ford was envisioned as a revolutionary leap forward with technological advancements undreamed of when its Nimitz-class predecessors were launched decades ago.But the ship, the first in the Ford class of supercarriers, has been plagued with a series of mechanical problems that have pushed its price tag into the stratospheric $13 billion range. The Gerald R. Ford has been in the fleet for almost three years but has yet to deploy on a single mission.The Ford, the first of three planned supercarriers incorporates systems such as an advanced arresting gear and the electromagnetic launch system (EMALS), a replacement for the hydraulic catapults that have flung fighter jets off carrier decks for decades.The ship is well into its post-delivery tests and trials. Crucial shock trials, which will assess how the USS Gerald Ford stands up to underwater explosions, are scheduled for the next fiscal yearWith the technological challenges, the Navy has made personnel shake-ups. It recently sacked Ford program manager Capt. Ron Rutan and replaced him with the officer who oversaw development of the amphibious transport dock.“We must ensure that the team takes the opportunity to recharge and allow for fresh eyes on upcoming challenges as required,” a spokesman for Naval Sea Systems Command said. “While there is no perfect time for leadership transitions, it is prudent to bring in renewed energy now to lead the [USS Gerald Ford] team through the challenges ahead.”The new manager, Capt. Brian Metcalf, had been serving as the executive assistant to Vice Adm. William Galinis, commander of Naval Sea Systems Command, the largest of the Navy’s five system commands. The COVID-19 crisis has affected missions, deployments and recruiting at the Pentagon, but Navy officials say the push to get to Ford to sea has not let up.“Even in the face of a global pandemic, the team has kept a lightning pace, and we will continue to do so … until the USS Gerald Ford completes her post-delivery obligations and is fully available and ready for tasking by the fleet,” NAVSEA officials said. But private analysts say the whole program still faces choppy waters.

Jerry Hendrix, a retired U.S. Navy captain and military analyst, said the most glaring problem is that the Ford is the wrong ship for its most likely mission. The Pentagon is in the midst of a major mission shift, announced in 2018, from a focus on terrorism and nonstate groups such as the Islamic State to a more traditional targeting of nation-state rivals, particularly China.
