“...Trump administration’s National Defense Study actually concludes that U.S. military advantages may have eroded...”
It hasn’t “eroded” under President Trump...It was all to hell when he took over...
But our military is much more diverse. We’ve got that going for us.
As opposed to losing the war against our own homegrown #marxists, #commies, #pinkos and #antiAmericans?
Not could. Will.
We have rotted from the inside out.
Neither one has the capacity to come here and fight us, that’s for sure.
We could defeat Russia. We probably could not defeat China.
Thanks to both Bush the Younger and Obama for wasting literally trillions of dollars sending ultra-sophisticated and expensive hardware to kill a bunch of rag-headed goat phuckers living in caves, and failing to invest in the biggest force-multiplier of all, technology. The first is/was a numbnuts, the second an actual traitor.
Thankfully, even 16 years of drawing down on our military capital couldn’t destroy our capabilities to the point of impotence against our 2 chief adversaries, and even more thankfully, a real American with great common sense and practical experience is in charge. Perhaps now we’d be in trouble vs. the Russkies or Chinese (PERHAPS), but wait a few more years and we’ll once again be leagues ahead of both.
Frankly, I worry more about China since it has 4 times our population and a fast-growing economy. Russia has a bit more than 1/2 of our population and is falling behind every year, and its economy is about the size of NY State’s economy. Yes, their nukes and related systems are a big problem - if we get into a nuclear war with them. In a conventional war, they’d get in a few good punches, but would (IMHO) rather quickly be forced back into their homeland in a defensive mode...where, if such becomes the situation, we should leave them.
Trump spends a Trillion on the Military that is falling into the depths of despair and we are told the Military is weaker because of Trump. How many of you still don’t believe in the deep state? And the fact this comes first from the WP. That says a lot more.
Is anyone really surprised? The armies of both Russia and China are serious soldiers while our armed forces are social experiments. Even if that were not the case, our military would have insane rules of engagement hindering their cause.
This is not a knock on our beloved military. It is a knock on the Commanders in Chief prior to President Trump.
“Trump administration’s National Defense Study actually concludes that U.S. military advantages may have eroded to a point where it could lose a war with Russia or China.”
How about both of them at the same time with our behind the lines 5th column democrat collaborators?
No worries, our rangerettes, Navy tranny babes and homoflybois will slap them silly!
And the Dems and other Uniparty members will set up another round of parties at their Panem headquarters with only the finest consumables as they watch their handiwork continue the rot.
If we lose do we still get a trophy.
Too late - the Dems now control the purse strings - mil will not get more funds but likely far less in their first defense bill.
Maybe the military on foreign soil but bring it here and there’d be nothing left of the Russians or Chinese.
I’ve been saying for a while here that China can now kick the crap out of the U.S. in an Asian war, and have pretty much gotten flamed for those comments. Right now China is focusing on projecting economic power to achieve its goals, but the big worry is that at some point it will just grab Taiwan and the U.S. will not respond.
A war with China would be fought with bags of money under the table. We might never know the war was fought and that we lost. It wouldn’t be in the newspapers.
