Their plan was to destroy Traditional America.
They did MUCH damage.

I hope it is not too late to undo the damage.
Bookmark. And thanks for posting this.
I fear that it is too late.
However, we’re going to do the best we can. Thank Almighty God in Heaven that we did not get that Drunken Harlot Democrat Kamala Harris.
That Godless Reprobate would have been the immediate end of the Republic.
To stop acting like the city of Babylon the Harlot would be a good beginning.
But this seems true of much of the world 🌎🌏🌍 these days.
And so shall Revelation chapters 17 and 18 be fulfilled.
Astounding post. Should be heeded.
It is too late. Look at the pervasiveness of Democrat/liberal behavior.
Like America now, the Athenian democracy failed when the riff raff gained control of the government and the patriarchs money
BLM destroys entire cities
If all the paperwork gets pushed & all the contractors get paid, they think they've done their jobs. Same with much of NASA's programs like SLS (Senate Launch System).
The decline began in ernest during the 60’s with Leftists Charles Mandate n, Sal Alinsky, Bill Ayers and Henry Marcuse
“ Marcuse argued that to become a truly liberated society and to realize the objective of tolerance we must be “intolerant toward prevailing policies, attitudes, [and] opinions” but tolerant to dissident, subversive, and revolutionary policies, attitudes, and opinions. This exactly describes the conditions on campuses today and what is described as “cancel culture” in society at large.”
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
Without “normalizing” the budgets for differences in value of local currencies, the graphic is just propaganda.
China’s military budget may be particularly misleading.
Here is a side by side comparison of China vs USA military strengths:
It places China and the USA as having essentially the same military power.
A solid chunk of our defense budget is basically stolen by a procurement process that sees the procurement process itself as the goal and not delivery of any working & affordable weapons systems. As long as politically connected contractors are paid off, it’s a “success.”
The parallels between the state of our country and
The Covenant Church could be disturbing to many, too.
But the good news is the nation that has the parallels with the New Covenant Church can simply transform back to a proper nation with a little law, order and Justice.
The lawlessness, disorder and just us is not the biblical way for a nation that began with 13 Colonies, like Christ began with His 12. And grew to 50 states like the New Covenant Church grew at 50..
It’s far scarier than Athens on one level.
It’s far more hopeful than Athens on another level.
We are a peculiar nation.
We are a prophetic nation.
We are also a serpent led nation that can transform back into a proper staff with a grab and hold of the serpent’s tail..
It's possible to debate any of the categories listed at your link, in terms of quality, reliability, effectiveness, etc., and frankly, some categories are largely irrelevant (unless the US invades the Chinese mainland). And please note, the source at your link compares Chinese and US military expenditures as well ($267B vs $895B, with or without "normalizing"). As others here have implied, there is likely a great deal of inefficiency and waste in the US military budget, which should be addressed in an effort to reduce the skyrocketing national debt. To suggest that we largely ignore the military budget as a source of our crippling debt [as does the author of the American Thinker article - "Across-the-board cuts of 10 percent in government spending (except for military), combined with DOGE cuts..."] is unrealistic; blindly increasing US military expenditures year after year has been one of the factors contributing to wasteful federal spending and our unsustainable debt and interest burdens.

Being careful stewards of the public moneys is a necessary thing. However, actual defense of the nation is one of the very few actual purposes of the Federal government.
In my opinion, the Obama and Biden presidencies had, as one of their purposes, the reduction of the effectiveness of the American military. This has been a goal of the radical Left for about 60 years, certainly since Vietnam, probably since the start of the Cold war.
