“Trump is doing to them what Reagan did to Russia.”
That’s a fact.
Thanks for proving the point that you don’t know shit and you’re just attempting to do China’s bidding. You far leftist morons make this too easy. I can spot scumbags like you a mile away. So go create a new troll identity, your present one is like a cover burned, and try again.
You NEVER fight a land war in Asia, never-never-never. You cannot win without WMD’s. You keep a fight with China an air/sea campaign with limited ground incursions and you pull India into your orbit, they are the only country with the numbers to off set the PLA. Create a loose or a ratified defense treaty of area nations around China. Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Australia, the Philippines etc... You try and drive a wedge between the Chicoms and the Russians as well. And you slowly pull out of trading with these communists and bring our industrial base back.
We also need to reconsider our NATO commitment. Other than Poland and Britain is the rest of Europe worth the effort at this point? NATO hasn’t had a mission since 1991 and do we need all those bases in Europe? Turkey being a prime example of a country that clearly doesn’t have our interests at heart and yet we story nuclear weapons on base there.
The Bush’s, Clinton’s and Obama sent the military out for any little thing and the military industrial complex has loved the last 30 yrs because they get to research and sell their goodies and certain generals and admirals seem to love to fight even when a fight might not be needed and they can’t seem to tell us why we are fighting in Afghanistan/Iraq for 20 yrs, worse still they can’t figure out a strategy to win and get out. They roll up tactical victories, rotate their units and grind them down, rebuild it and repeat, all the while testing new weapons for the military industrial complex and then buying them and the result, a slow bleeding of national treasure.
A massive strategic reset needs to be considered by the US and Trump is the one to do this but the US military will resist. Under Reagan the US military was rebuilt and money poured in and yet Reagan would use the military sparingly and then decisively except for the Beirut mess.
India is not much of a sea power, how would they accomplish that?? The US already has all the necessary naval assets in place in the MidEast.
They build lots of stuff that works cheaply, we build two or three very expensive items, none of which work
I call BS. Because this implies our intelligence and defense and congressmen have not done their jobs long before this was ever made public...which would mean treason, not just ineptitude or corruption.
So...swear by your position...and some hangings are in order...looking at the messenger among the rest.
