The purpose of the war is to deplete the military resources of Russia and the West and leave us defenseless. China is smiling.
If that is the purpose it is having the opposite effect, it is leading to increased military budgets, new and refurbished weapon factories, increased weapon production and replacement of old stock with new and upgraded stock, NATO accepting new members and the organization being better unified and reenergized.
Our alliances in the Pacific are also improving, Japan has set out on the biggest military build-up since WWII, the American military is returning to Taiwan, Australia is buying nuke subs, the Philippines is inviting us back, and South Korea is on a military build-up, even India is looking at us more.
The Russian invasion is leading not only to massive new weapon production but our allies eagerly seeking our weapons after seeing the basic versions being handled by non-NATO soldiers in Ukraine and their effect on what was the world’s second-best military.
