Military Diplomacy (MD)

 

To supplement Chapter One Navy Hospitals, Naval Home, Army and other Naval Hospital, and Hospital Relief for Seamen and Others §1-40. To change of the name of the Department of Defense (DoD) to Military Department (MD). The US has the largest, most expensive, best equipped and loved military in the world. Since its foundation in 1775 the US military has suffered nearly 1.3 million casualties in 13 declared wars. The military death rate in peacetime runs from 0 to 2.2 per 100,000, during wartime risk of death ranges from 0.2% to 1% and risk of injury in action was 7% and 16% including non-combatant injuries. Total Defense spending exceeds $810 billion. The three military departments will spend a total of $642 billion FY 23 which is subtracted from the $773 billion FY 23 President's budget request, leaving $171 billion FY 23 undistributed offsetting receipts; in case of deficiency, or to reduce the deficit and pay first obligations in the new year. A deficiency of about $5 billion is needed to recruit 15,000 US troops; UN members would pay $1 billion for a Haiti Veterans Administration. The US has paid $100 billion to defend Ukraine against Russian invasion; Putin must stop attacking and reparate. Putin and Jinping have abolished term limits, reelection of the UN Secretary General and WHO Director General was unopposed, the US ballot was stuffed 2020 and 2022 and Moīse was murdered. The US Navy nuked the Enriquillo Plantain Garden Fault in Haiti and San Andreas Fault in Humboldt, California, twice, causing 222,222 casualties, and leaked fuel in Honolulu causing the eruption of two volcanos, before being drained dry for salvage and demolition. The US must retire and recycle all retired nuclear weapons in excess of 2,200 nuclear warheads, active and dismantled, pursuant to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) limits for 2012. The US and Russia must comply with the New START limit of 1,550 active nuclear weapons. Admirals must prohibit hostile oceanic cooling pumps and extinguish all oceanic heating pumps with 15 parts per million of 4-tertiary-butyl-catechol (TBC), cable railcar out of ocean, and refine it, especially to protect the polar ice. Prescribed burns must be prohibited worldwide, slash piles left in the West must be removed as firewood, or destroyed by chipping, scattering, or campfire, without any burns or agricultural fires. Hydrocortisone, Eucalyptus, Lavender, Peppermint or Salt Helps Water Cure Coronavirus Colds; Mentholyptus Cough Drop Cures SARS and Influenza; Echinacea Cures Respiratory Syncytial Virus and Triple Threat of RSV, SARS-CoV-2 and Flu.

1.This Act supplements the contents of Title 24 Chapter One Navy Hospitals, Naval Home, Army and other Naval Hospital, and Hospital Relief for Seamen and Others 1-40.  The United States has the best-trained, most effective military in the world. The military is an all-volunteer force of dedicated, patriotic men and women who reflect the best values and spirit of our Nation. The Army, Navy, and Marine Corps were established in 1775, in concurrence with the American Revolution. On June 30, 1775, the Second Continental Congress established 69 Articles of War to govern the conduct of the Continental Army.  The War Department was established in 1789, and was the precursor to what is now the Department of Defense.  On April 10, 1806, the first United States Congress enacted 101 Articles of War, which were not significantly revised until over a century later.  The Air Force was established as a military department on September 18, 1947.  The Department of Defense (DoD) was named in the Secretary of Defense Transfer Order No. 40 of July 22, 1949.  Space Force was established December 20, 2019.  Since its creation during the Revolutionary War, the United States has been engaged in 13 major wars and numerous smaller conflicts, especially the Indian Wars (1622-1888). Since its foundation the US military is recorded to have suffered over 1,128,100 casualties, 1.3 million US Military Deaths (1775-2021).

2. The abolition of the Overseas Contingency Operation (OCO) reporting requirements in a historical revision of defense budgets, without explanation is best described as the harmless racist practice of 'cultural erasure' noted in the fine print of the Application of the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism and of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (Ukraine v. Russian Federation) 2017- present. The FY 23 Defense budget continues to overestimate Air Force spending, after getting it right for the first time FY 22. FY 23 Air Force overestimating has relapsed and is treated as pass-through funds and the legislation of defense-wide supplementals FY 21 and FY 22, must be treated as a deficiency, against high levels of undistributed offsetting receipts, in the margin.  The President's Defense base budget request declined -2.6 percent from $723 FY 20 to $704 billion FY 21, before increasing 5.4 percent to $742 billion FY 22, 4.2 percent to $773 billion FY 23 and is expected to continue to increase at a rapid pace of 4 percent to $796 billion FY 24 before normalizing at 3 percent. Spending for the Air Force and Navy has increased dramatically at the expense of the Army. Spending for the Army decreased -11 percent, -5.5 percent annually, from a high of $186 billion FY 20 to a low of $175 billion FY 22 before increasing 1.1 percent to $177 billion FY 23. Spending for the Navy and Marine Corp decreased -0.95 percent from $21 billion FY 20 to $20 billion FY 21 before increasing 6.3 percent to $221 billion FY 22 and 4.5 percent to $231 billion FY 23. Spending for the Air Force and Space Force decreased -0.5 percent from $205 billion FY 20 to $204 billion FY 21 before increasing 8.8 percent to $222 billion FY 22 and 5.4 percent to $234 billion FY 23. The Navy and Air Force and their new Space Force, and new certainty regarding Air Force budget spending, have been more than fully compensated for recent budget cuts and should increase exactly 3 percent FY 24. The Army budget is due as much as 16 percent growth to $205 billion FY 24 but to limit total Defense spending growth to 4 percent might want 5 percent inflation in Army spending $186 billion FY 24. The lesson is not only that Defense budget cuts are futile, resulting in higher spending in future years, but Defense budget cuts invariably lead to a worsening of international security, due to weakness and want for war to get paid. It is imperative to sustain stable 3 percent annual growth in Defense spending.  It would seem that for the liberty of cutting Defense spending -2.6 percent FY 20, -5.6 less than due, the Biden Administration will need to pay the Defense 4 percent inflation again, some $804 billion FY 24, to be fair. The FY 23 Budget provides a 4.6 percent pay raise for both military and civilian personnel and implements a $15-hour minimum pay rate for Federal employees.

3. Comprising roughly one-third of the DoD budget, military pay and benefits, including healthcare, housing, DoD schools, commissaries, child care, and a myriad of military family support programs are, and will likely continue to be, the single largest expense category for the Department. People are the Department’s most valuable asset. The Biden Administration made an error to reduce DoD spending and manpower. Although spending has been sustained, enlistment is in decline in all branches, but the Air Force.  Increases in civilian personnel, significantly less than initially planned, have not offset declines in enlisted men and end-strength declined -1 percent from 2.944 million FY 20 to 2.914 million FY 21 and -0.03 percent to 2.913 FY 22, before it is projected to increase 0.2 percent to 2.918 FY 23, however once again this is mostly due to civilian contractors and is not certain, like the military employing soldiers. The number of active duty and reserve soldiers has steadily declined -1.7 percent from a high of 2.173 million FY 20 to 2.136 million FY 21 and -0.37 percent to 2.128 million FY 22 before being projected to decline -0.04 percent to 2.127 million FY 23. Decreases in Army and Navy civilian contractors have been more than offset by increases in Air Force and Defense wide civilian contractors. Total civilian contractors have steadily increased 0.9 percent from 770 thousand FY 20 to 777 thousand FY 21 and 1 percent to 785 thousand FY 22 and is anticipated to increase 0.8 percent to 791 thousand FY 23. To prevent unrest and political fragility, only somewhat mitigated by a 4.6 percent FY 23 pay raise, for those who continue to be employed, the Biden Administration must reverse their policy of attrition against soldiers and aim to sustain 1 percent enlistment growth in all forces.  End-strength budget cuts must be redressed to increase Army and Marine Corp enlistment by an estimated 15,000 active, 15,000 reserve and 5,000 civilian, to establish a US operated UN authorized Peacekeeping Mission in Haiti at an additional cost of about $5 billion including $750 million for the beleaguered $6.4 billion UN Peacekeeping budget.

4. With the largest military in the world, the United States has a great responsibility to keep the peace. Most other nations have sought to marginalize military spending as a percentage of GDP, to promote a civilian economy, with a decent standard of living for veterans. However, it is not possible for the United States to cut Defense spending, without causing a deterioration in international security to justify the war the mercenaries believe they need to get money. To prevent military coup, it is necessary to sustain exactly 3 percent annual military spending growth, to synchronize sustainable inflation in services with desired economic growth. The troops will be content, they won't have any reason to make war, and their ranks will grow at a rate of about 1 percent annually, in proportion between military families and the general population, in peace. There will be a large number of trained soldiers to defend the nation against foreign invasion and deter opportunistic military aggression against the United States, such a large military might provoke. Furthermore, besides suppressing insurrection, the military is capable of providing humanitarian assistance. The uncounted undistributed offsetting receipts help keep the Treasury in operation year after year.   In 2021, about $2.2 trillion, 2.3 percent of the $96.5 trillion world economy was spent on military affairs. Due to increased military spending on the war in Ukraine, this is expected to increase to about $2.4 trillion, 2.4 percent of $99.6 trillion Gross World Product in 2022. Including about $25 billion in military spending from the Departments of State and Energy, the United States spends a total of about $800 billion on Defense, and is far and away the leading military spender in the world. The United States spends three times more on Defense than the second largest military spender, China who spent an estimated $266 billion, 1.5 percent of their $17.8 trillion GDP in 2021. Without, the United Kingdom, the combined forces of the European Union come in third place, with $232 billion, 1.6 percent of their $17.1 trillion GDP. Russia comes in fourth place with $72 billion in military spending, 4.0 percent of their $1.8 trillion GDP.

 

Top Ten Global Conflict Related Fatalities 2014-2022

5. The world is witnessing the highest level of human suffering since the Second World War. After declining in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when NATO was not authorized to bomb Yugoslavia and the US lied to the UN regarding weapons of mass destruction to make war in Iraq, major civil wars increased from 4 in 2007 to 11 in 2014 with 125 million people in need of humanitarian assistance, 60 million people forced from their homes due to conventional armed force, 37 countries affected. In 2023 there are more than 44 countries affected by armed conflict, 89.4 million people displaced and 333 million in need of humanitarian assistance. 2022 had the largest number of violent conflicts since 1946, with one quarter of the global population living in conflict-affected countries at the end of 2020. Amid these crises, and despite movement restrictions prompted by COVID-19, forced displacement has continued and even grown. As of May 2022, a record 100 million people had been forcibly displaced worldwide.  More than 1 per cent of the world’s population — or 103 million people — are thought to be displaced. More than 2 percent of the world's population – or 272 million people – are international migrants, in any given year.  Violent conflict continues to take an even heavier toll on civilians, especially when explosives are used in populated areas. By the end of 2021, 89.3 million people were forcibly displaced worldwide as a result of persecution, conflict, violence or human rights violations. This includes: 27.1 million refugees and 53.2 million internally displaced people.  The action that might most greatly reduce violence is to destroy all drug seized by the police to prevent weaponization, by incineration and/or secure burial.

 

6. Democratic peace theory, liberal peace theory, is a theory and related empirical research which holds democracies - usually, liberal democracies - never or almost never go to war with one another, and systematic violence is in general less common within democracies.  To explain the erosion in democratic norms that is driving the increase in deaths due to untreated COVID and armed conflicts, Putin and Xi Jinping have abolished term limits, reelection of the UN Secretary General and WHO Director General was unopposed, the US ballot was stuffed 2020 and 2022 and Moīse was murdered.  US Interim National Security Strategy Guidance (2021) maintains a hostile posture against Russia, China, North Korea and Iran and neglects to indemnify armed conflict, in general, as the enemy.  There is little to suggest, the only slightly modified cold war prejudice, is helpful to the situation, and in fact, the false allegations, and cold war relapse, tend to cause a deterioration in relations and worsening autocracy, in the accused enemy nations and snowballing piracy by the United States.  The US and Canadian diplomatic boycott of the Olympics in China was unjustified by the OHCHR Assessment of human rights concerns in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, People’s Republic of China of 31 August 2021 report the forced labor of poor Uyghurs and other predominantly Muslim minorities, about 20 percent of the population, vaguely suspected of being terrorists, beginning in 2016- 2019 has accomplished the goal of eliminating terrorism since 2017 and 1.9 million minorities emerged from poverty by 2018 and by 2019 has been terminated and remaining minority detainees are accounted for in regular criminal statistics.  There is not believed to be much truth connecting the allegations against Iran with the stolen money motivating hostilities under review by Certain Iranian Assets (Islamic Republic of Iran v. United States of America) 1999-present.  To end Truman’s unauthorized police action in Korea, rife with massacres of civilians, interrupting the Marshall Plan, North Korea requires a peace treaty with the United States and South Korea, whereby North Korea would be provided with sufficient food in exchange for the discontinuation of ballistic missile testing and nuclear weapons program and cessation of teaching the US and South Korea are enemies.

 

7. Congress has authorized a total of $100 billion, $45 billion FY 23, plus $55 billion FY 22, to defend Ukraine against Russian invasion.  Putin's special military action has inflicted more than one thousand casualties in a year, as many as 185,000 in 2022, and must be considered a war. The case history has evolved from the Application of the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism and of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (Ukraine v. Russian Federation) 2017- present to Allegation of Genocide under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Ukraine v. Russian Federation) 2022. All Russian assets seized by Blocking Property of Certain Persons and Prohibiting Certain Transactions with Respect to Continued Russian Efforts To Undermine the Sovereignty and Territorial Integrity of Ukraine E.O. 14065 signed February 21, 2022 may be transferred as revenues to the Ukraine account.  Ukraine is indemnified to target PATRIOT missile strikes precisely and proportionally against wherever hostile military drone, artillery and missile strikes against the territory of Ukraine, originate from, across the autonomous and international border(s). Ukraine will of course be liable for any death, or property damage to civilians, accidentally caused.  The Russian Federation is obligated to cease-fire, withdraw occupying forces from Ukraine and autonomous region, repatriate prisoners of war and pay reparations for the death, injury and destruction of private property, within the territory of Ukraine, including the autonomous area, for an early estimate of $100-$200 billion, whereas reconstruction costs as much as war, to conclude the peace in good faith under Art. 14 of the Convention against Torture, Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment (1987) pursuant to Armed Activities on the Territory of the Congo (Democratic Republic of the Congo v. Uganda) 1999-2022.  Although Russian soldiers may be charged with war crimes, Putin is not a war criminal due to the unauthorized nature of his attack, murder is a crime against humanity, and Russia may not belatedly apply to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) until Putin is gone.

8. As of the invasion of Ukraine in 2022 the Doomsday Clock has moved to 100 second till midnight from 2 minutes till. The closest the world has been to nuclear holocaust since one minute till midnight during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The world's nuclear-armed states possess a combined total of roughly 13,142 nuclear warheads, more than 90% belong to Russia and the United States. The New START declaration of the United States is that 1,350 strategic nuclear warheads be deployed on 652 ICBMs, SLBMs, and strategic bombers. The New START declaration for the Russian Federation is 1,444 strategic warheads deployed on 527 ICBMs, SLBMs, and strategic bombers. The United States Department of Defense has a nuclear stockpile of 3,750 nuclear weapons, of which 1,389 are active and possesses another 1,800 retired warheads. The Russian Federation holds a military stockpile of 4,497 nuclear warheads, of which 1,459 are deployed and another 1,760 retired warheads awaiting dismantlement. Both the United States, by 39, and Russia, by 15, exceed New START limits on deployed nuclear weapons. Stockpiled weapons are ready to be used and the statistic includes both deployed nuclear warheads and those that have been dismantled and components moved to another geographic location for storage, but they can be easily put back together. Retired weapons have been dismantled, and are largely intact, but not complete without at least some remanufacturing. Total nuclear warheads is the total number of stockpiled nuclear weapons and retired nuclear warheads. When the NPT requires that the US must limit their arsenal to 1,700 – 2,200 this means that they may not possess more than 2,200 active and inactive weapons in their stockpile, and not more than 500 retired nuclear weapons that have not yet been recycled. This means that the US is over the 2,200 warhead stockpile limit by 1,550 inactive warheads to be retired. Russia is over the 2,200 limit by 2,297 inactive warheads to be retired. This brings the number of retired nuclear warheads to be recycled to 3,350 US and 4,057 Russia.  It is not enough to make passive reference to Isiah 2:4. Nuclear regulatory agencies and Congress must establish a robust nuclear weapons recycling program, ie. Create a retired nuclear weapon recycling program to respect the 1,700-2,200 NPT and 1,550 New START limits to amend Nuclear Posture 10USC§491 et seq.

 

9. The US Navy is accused of multiple grave breeches of the Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques (ENMOD) (1976) redressed by commanding officer non-judicial punishment under 24USC§419 and nuclear weapons offenders are disqualified from holding federal office pursuant to the prohibition on assisting nuclear proliferation through provision of financing under 22USC§6303.  The US Navy is alleged to have used a submarine to nuke the Enriquillo Plantain Garden Fault causing deadly earthquakes in Haiti, twice, on 12 January 2010 and 14 August 2021, when discovered 100 percent of Moïse assassins were International Military Education graduates, taking a total of 222,220 lives, nuking the deepest hole.  A world record borehole 11 miles under Humboldt County, California appears to have been nuked on the winter solstice on 20 December of both 2021 and 2022, with two dead.  Including exposure to nuclear waste from nuclear weapons testing and manufacturing sites casualties from US nuclear weapons trials are pushing on a million casualties, while Russia has had only three nuclear weapons related fatalities.  The US Navy leaked fuel from the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility causing two volcanoes to erupt, Kīlauea, since fall 2022 and Mauna Loa, since 1983, on the Big Island of Honolulu, Hawaii.  The Defense Department must conclude the closure agreement of March 7, 2022, now the 250 million gallon facility was sucked dry with one to three large 85 million gallon tankers, fuel refined in California, and fuel facility salvaged for scrap and filled.

 

10. To restore the climate to its natural condition, it is necessary that Navies around the world observe the current operational National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Australian Bureau of Meteorological, Sea Surface Anomaly (SST) Anomaly Map to extinguish, all detectable human caused thermal pollution from the ocean. The United States and Canada must first extinguish the refrigerated cold-water upwelling along the eastern Coast of Canada and southern Aleutian Islands of Alaska, in response to the deadly, extreme cold weather in December 2022. To restore the climate in the northern hemisphere, to a nearly natural state, United States, Canada, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia must join together to prohibit the melting of polar ice on the Northwest Passage force majeure to protect polar bears, harp seals and climate. The large hotspot in the Atlantic and new hotspot in the Pacific must be extinguished, to be sure to end the droughts in Maine, California and the south-western states and in south east Asia. The artificial cooling of La Niňa must be prohibited and removed to compensate extreme flooding events in Pakistan and Gulf Coast states.  In general, Admirals are bound to extinguish and remove any and all hostile oceanic heating and cooling pumps they discover, anywhere in the world, for the benefit of victims of climate change disasters in developing countries. Care should be taken to ameliorate thermal pollution, in order calculated to cause a minimum of discomfort to humans as the climate shifts to a slightly cooler natural temperature pursuant to Art. 195 of the Law of the Sea, International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters (Polar Code), International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), Convention on the Prohibition of Hostile Military and Other Environmental Modification Techniques (ENMOD), Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
