America is 11 times bankrupt and can’t take any of them on.

America is invaded & conquered, with the support of the GOP grifters.

At least one poster here thinks we can do it easily, in fact throw in North Korea which would be in that mix anyway.

Somebody posted this yesterday.

“”””Laughable. What country do you see as a military threat to the USA? We are more powerful that the next 7 combined.””””

The simple answer is Yes !
We simply drop a nuke on Iran, and say Who wants next ?

It’s been years since our military prepared for a two-front war.

And yet, by promoting Wokeism it continuing in a war against God, and deterring its most able recruitment base from enlisting. Suicidal.

If Haiti attacked Israel maybe they would get more help.

That is absurd if not laughable. The US could not prevail today in a protracted war with just China (and Russia and Muslims could chime in), which is the only nation which comes close to the industrial might the US had for WW2, which it could not fight today even due to the lack of character of recruits.

No, even with China, Russia and Persia having militaries that suck.

Six years ago no problem.
