The shooting in Florida this month reminds me again that our institutions are failing us. The FBI was alerted, the police were alerted, multiple times, but nothing was done. Police on site failed to control the scene; with the shooter still unidentified and free students ran from the school in all directions while the police watched.
Recently Vladimir Putin announced the development of weapons systems that basically make half of our military obsolete. Why did our intelligence agencies with their multi-billion dollar budgets fail to detect this? If half of what he claimed is true, our aircraft carrier groups could not survive the first few weeks of a shooting war. Our missile defenses also could not stop these weapons which can be fired from a multitude of locations, fly long range, fly at super high speeds and evade radar detection all the while homing in with nuclear or conventional warheads on a specific target.
