Description: Send us a textThe Ones Ready crew is back with a blistering Daily Drop that reads like a classified briefing laced with caffeine and outrage. Jared goes scorched-earth on the U.S. finally banning Chinese farmland buys (spoiler: it’s 2025 and somehow this wasn’t already illegal). Meanwhile, the Army wants to quadruple Patriot missiles—because what’s deterrence without volume? The Air Force still can't decide if the F-15EX should have a roommate. Space Force gets a budget bump, but bureaucratic gatekeepers still cling to outdated classification nonsense like it’s a Cold War cosplay. And don’t worry, the KC-46 is still a flying contradiction—does it even have SATCOM?Oh, and if you're still here: Nashville. October. OTS. Let’s go.🔥 Key Takeaways:🇨🇳 Finally banning Chinese nationals from buying U.S. farmland—because national security apparently wasn’t obvious.🎯 Army wants four times the Patriots—are we prepping for WW4?🛠️ Right-to-repair bill might finally stop the Pentagon from mailing radios back like it’s 1996.🛰️ Space Force budget finally treated like we’re living in the 21st century.💥 Air Force's KC-46 might not have SATCOM... in 2025.
