During the past 30 years, the United States suffered the same type of ‘strategic over-extension" that exhausted the British Empire and contributed to the end of its naval mastery

#2 When the Wall came down, it was time to demobilize. Instead the globalists in the Swamp wanted to play geopolitics using the resources and treasury of the American people (to exhaustion).

Known phenomena.

"The Bathtub Curve is a diagram model that represents the failure rate of an asset over time. It is a graph that resembles the cross-section of a bathtub, with steep sides and a flat bottom. The curve is divided into three main regions: the early life, the useful life, and the end-of-life period.

Early Life:

The early life of an asset is characterized by a high failure rate, as the asset is still new and has not yet reached its optimal performance. This period is often referred to as the “infant mortality” stage.

Useful Life:

The useful life of an asset is the period where the failure rate is relatively low, and the asset is operating at its optimal performance. This is the longest period of the bathtub curve, where the asset is providing the most value to the organization.

End-of-Life:

The end-of-life period is the final stage of the bathtub curve, where the failure rate increases sharply. This is due to the asset and its parts reaching the end of their designed useful life. During this period, the asset is no longer operating at its optimal performance, and failures become more frequent and unpredictable.

Extending the Bathtub Curve:

Businesses can choose to extend the bathtub curve by seeking maintenance services from a Third Party Maintenance provider. This can help to “sweat” the assets for as long as possible, maximizing the value derived and allowing for budget to be collated over a longer period of time for eventual hardware procurement."

Who will be the maintenance partner?
