Yes, of course you are right. And I agree with all of those steps. But I see our main weakness as political, even spiritual, rather than strategic or tactical. The West, including the US, is not mentally anywhere near in the right frame of mind to resist the barbarian. My reading of history is that this country always, ALWAYS, needs a Lexington Green, Ft Sumter, Battleship Maine, Pearl Harbor,Gulf of Tonkin, etc, to really wake itself up to the danger.

Even 9/11, in the end, wasn't enough to really rally this country to go after the Visigoths, Vandals and Huns and destroy them.....The Rape of Georgia in the end will not be enough I'm afraid. That's why I think we need to adjust our policies enough to position ourselves to act when the real crisis hits ( NATO for Ukraine, wiping our Iran's nuke capacity), while accepting the reality that in today's debased political climate the forces of barbarism will continue to advance until some emotional, spiritual line is crossed and the West comes alive and fights back.

The Kremlin strategists believe that the United States is on the brink of a crippling dislocation. According to a July 29 Pravda article, an anonymous Russian diplomat revealed that the “Russian administration believes the United States may soon suffer from a serious political crisis.” The sequence begins with a financial crash, advances to political unrest and finally to the dissolution of American military power. As the Russian diplomat warned, “America is standing on the verge of a large-scale crisis of its own existence.”

what could this “serious political crisis” be?
