The year 2034, your predictions?

Posted on 08/02/2014 10:28:03 PM PDT by MNDude

It seems that with recent trends in economics, demographics, and morality in this country, there's great reason for much pessimism for the future. In any case, I'm curious to hear your predictions for 20 years from now. The state of USA? The world stage? Technology? Anything else you think it will be like in that year.

"The year 2034, your predictions?"

The MSM will see be reporting "It's Bush's Fault"

Yeah, and how long did that last? :’) Nappy was actually a much better civil leader than he was a military one, if one goes by the results. His victories were early and kicked the British behinds until after he led 500,000 or so to the slaughter in that brutal Russian winter. What a jackass, eh? He loved the trappings of ancient glory, but apparently didn’t learn from the experience of the Persians, described in Herodotus, when they tried cornering the Scythians in what would eventually be the Russian empire.

The French monarchy was *the* power on the European continent for centuries. The Spanish had their huge empire, and during their union with the Hapsburgs the Spanish monarch controlled more of the world’s surface than anyone who has ever lived.

And yet, the Spanish never took on the French or at least not for long, or effectively.

Ivan the Terrible built his military machine by sending people to study French methods.

And much more recently, it was the French who figured out what needed to be done and how men needed to be trained in order to beat the Germans in WWone, but lacked the manpower to do it — so they were the key to the US’ Expeditionary Force’s record-time recruiting and deployment, and made a definite though under-credited contribution to the ultimate victory.

You forgot to mention the 31 plane crashes that happened just before the 2029 season began.

In 2034, things will be very quiet, just the sound of
the wind blowing through broken windows...

Actually the Germans were the ones who figured it out
but by then they too were in no shape to continue.

Sure, by the time of the Ludendorf Offensive the
germans had started to use small unit tactics developed
on the Russian front, flowing
around points of resistance, using cover etc. Their
failure to take advantage of mobile armor was made up
for the next time around.

So, the Germans trained US troops for WWI?

I said no such thing.
The Germans developed the use of shock assault troops
using small unit tactics. Used earlier in the conflict
it might have made a difference in the out come.
The Kaiserschlact made a huge hole in the allied line
but they were in no position to continue the assault
and afterwards were always on the defensive until
the final collapse.
The French learned the lesson as well but they too
were in no condition to take it to victory.

Well, let's see, I'll be 82 and just fitting into my second body, a vat-grown 18-year-old, all paid for by the 80% income tax we'll be levying on the gen-X'ers' income by then, who will be unable to retire because, well, somebody's gotta work. BAMA (the Boston-Atlanta Metropolitan Axis) will have fused and been walled off from the healthy part of the country, and be a Mad Max sort of playground that we'll visit from time to time on Murder Tours. We will have strip-mined the Moon by then and properly so. Algore will have become the richest man in the world through selling carbon credits to the UN and will die a messy death through explosion a la Mr. Creosote. Just one more wafer-thin mint, Al.

And the Mariners still won't have won a world series.

This is what I posted, that you replied to, and stated it was the Germans. So, yes, you did say such a thing.
...it was the French who figured out what needed to be done and how men needed to be trained in order to beat the Germans in WWone, but lacked the manpower to do it — so they were the key to the US’ Expeditionary Force’s record-time recruiting and deployment, and made a definite though under-credited contribution to the ultimate victory.

:’) We need a post-a-topic facility here that, when given an URL, pulls in the headline, author, and text (and sets up keywords, all from the Meta tags and whatnot) for excerpting, and automatically rejects unusable sources. It would also “camp out” on the URL so others trying to post it would be rejected, reducing duplication.

Ok, I think we are at cross purposes here.
I thought you were speaking of the way to break
the deadlock of defensive trench warfare.
Certainly the French and British taught the
doughboys a lot, lessons paid for in blood
for the first three years of the war.
