The US has been twiddling its thumbs while the Chinese and the Russians develop anti-satellite capabilities as well as hypersonic missiles.
Over the past several weeks a hard truth has become undeniable: The United States of America is no longer the all-powerful superpower it has been since the end of the Cold War. Far from it. The strategic implications of this state of affairs are epic for both the US and its allies.
A nation's position in the global pecking order is based on two things â its capabilities and its credibility. America's capabilities have diminished relative to its superpower competitors in a stunning way. And so has its credibility.
For over a generation, US leaders eschewed "the weaponization of space." But as they congratulated themselves for their restraint, the Chinese and the Russians weaponized space.

Everything Caroline Glick wrote used to get posted at Free Republic.
Unfortunately, I see her name and her work on the FR website less and less every year.
According to your archive, this is your first week at Free Republic.
Welcome!
How many battalions can these "souls" put on a battle field?
All of them.
Bizarre drugged-out comment.
We are too busy with the important challenges, like making sure we are all “woke” and use correct pronouns. We are way ahead of Russia and China in teaching CRT and abortion rights to six year olds in public schools. This nation has become everything I despise and spent 24 years in the military fighting for. We can no longer trust our elections that show obvious signs of fraud and are labels as kooks when we question it. We are called racist if we don’t thing rioting and destroying and stealing private property and destroying public property by white criminals in black mask in the name of Black Lives Matter. We are called homophobic when we choose to follow the Bible and shun homosexuality as sin. We are called murders for protecting ourselves and loved ones using lethal force when necessary. If this country does not do a 180 in the next couple elections we are done for. Either Russia, China, or some other country who hates us is going to become our new rulers. Lets see if they will put up with all the nonsense our current so called leaders expect of us.
I’m shocked 😳 at the decline of this nation.
All too predictable, unfortunately.
Part of the democRAT party (old guard) is loyal to the USSR/Russia, while the other larger part (new school) is loyal to communist China. The left are also the ultimate hypocrites and just proved it again. I saw an article on how, “WATCH: Campaign Joe Biden would HATE President Joe Biden’s RACIST XENOPHOBIC travel ban. A disgrace!!”, and you can give that a look at RightScoop. If it weren’t for double standards the left wouldn’t have any standards at all. It isn’t that those countries are racing ahead, it is that Xiden is standing on our brakes (stifling our economy) allowing them to catch up and pass us.
WE have to be the obstructionists, blocking the alt-far-left’s risky schemes to fundamentally change America into a clone of communist China. Just say ‘no’. It’s a powerful word nobody likes to hear (which is why Sales is such a hard job).
Yes, ‘political crisis’. Stop the communists from turning America into Amerika.
>>Americans, all, Wake up, Wise Up, Stand up!!!<<
Americans know wuzz-up. Stand up? Well, there are still scores of patriots who stood up...in solitary confinement.
America is now a super surveillance society. Has been for awhile. Many of those at the capitol were identified using AI / facial recognition.
Remember when congress passed the “Real ID Act”? Yea, that! You had a digital image taken for your photo on your drivers license. In Texas, we had to place both our thumbs down on a reader to have the state record an image of our prints.
Law enforcement across this nation, particularly in the nation’s capitol utilize ALPRs. Automatic License Plate Readers. Not all states yet, but most have issued license plates with super reflectivity, water marks and vision system segmenting. This allows law enforcement to read hundreds of license plates per hour entering/leaving areas they deem protected...hint hint..D.C..
Law makers on every level of government have passed laws on top of laws on top of regulation on top of ordinances to corral citizens. You’ll break laws without even realizing you’ve done so.
Anyhoo, point being, unless you’re willing to risk it all, your home, job, bank account...there is very little a citizen can do to stave off this relentless march toward socialism, globalism, communism.
Precisely the same as our ancestors prior to the American Revolution. They called it "this relentless march toward tyranny", but, at bottom, the same.
I've always believed that Americans currently have way too much to lose, so they'll put up with allot till the next election and hopefully make change.
Well, as we now know, elections in this country are marred with corruption. Folks (at least half) in this nation have lost confidence in election integrity. Furthermore, right before our very lil eyes, democrats/globalist/RINOs are allowing our country to be flooded with foreigners. Not only foreigners, but the world's poor and in many cases criminals from other countries.
They're altering voting demographics. They're promising the world's poor paltry government incentives which is much better than where they came from, but ultimately will enslave them to the government behemoth.
When there is little more to lose, when those who've tasted freedom no longer enjoy freedom, I believe is when ca-ca will hit the fan. Until then, 6am, gotta get to the office.
Precisely the same then as now. I have an ancestor who signed the Declaration of Independence (from Connecticut), fought in the Revolution, and later served in Washington’s cabinet. All of the founders had just as much to lose as any American today.
Your last paragraph sums up the present and future status precisely and accurately.
“Give me Liberty or give me Death!”
Sound familiar? Yep, my relative. Patrick Henry.
All Americans want is to be left alone. Raise kids, work, save for a decent retirement. Just to be left alone.
But NO! The career politicians, particularly leftist just can’t do it. They’ve got to lord over someone. They’ve got to push their stupid agendas.
Heck, not just leftist. Go back and do research on the Bush family. Research Prescott Bush till current days of George P. and Pierce Bush.
This family truly believes it is their destiny to rule over the rest of us.
Thank you! Will be posting her when she writes... she’s a good one!
