I am not 100% sure, but I think the plan is NOT to put carriers in the Gulf, but keep them outside

The Problem is the range of the missiles.

“Not everyone is able to get drones and missiles.”

Only our enemies.

Lol.

Globalists, wanting to keep global markets unnaturally stable, have long said that there would be no more wars. They pushed military planners and administrations into saying that there would only be light intensity conflicts in the future.

Time to build it up! Our tax dollars should be going more to our military forces than special interests anyway.

Compared to the rest of the world, not bad, in fact still dominate. Compared to past US generations, quite abysmal, especially in the trenches. As the economic factors deteriorate and maintaining tech becomes more difficult from a scarcity POV, the trenches are what is going to matter into the medium future (Say 10-15 years). US has to beef up that area. More Animal Mother instead of RuPaul which is the standard class now, that and real females who have proven jack squat in the trenches.

The author and Heritage are stupid.

If the US was weak, we’d already be under military attack.

It wasn’t during Desert Storm. Roosevelt, Ranger, Midway and America all went right into the Persian Gulf. And Battleships USS Missouri and USS Wisconsin.

Not really. Canada and the Uk are FAR weaker and they are not under attack.

We’re running out of ammo with just a proxy war in Ukraine. Good thing China doesn’t know that.

Any equipment the Army and Marines had worth a crap was abandoned in Afghanistan.

It is clear that tanks and ships need radical redesign.

You can learn a lot from lots of dead Russians.

Who is going to attack them? The world will fall into regional conflicts when the USA can’t be world police. The UK could barely handle the falkland islands war at the time. They couldn’t even come close now. Canada is annoying but no one cares about them. They suck.

Why waste military power when you can just buy out the ruling class?

They are under the US umbrella.

Our current wars happen because we run around the world like the proverbial coked up rock star, flopping our penis into everyone’s drink... not because we are provocatively weak.
