Obama chalks up another success.
Let’s see we face threats from ISIS Russia China North Korea am I missing anyone?
We haven’t “Fought a WAR” in over 70 years,
how many Peace Keeping missions could we accomplish at the same time?
We haven’t been able to fight 2 fronts in years. Since Clinton I think.
It went from 2 fronts to fight front 1 and holding action on 2nd front until front 1 is won, then shift those soldiers/equipment to the 2nd.
Rumsfeld didn’t help either.
Now it’s hope we can win 1 front.
Russia has modernized their ICBMs , 2 or 3 brand new ones. What have we done? Junked many and no modernization.
I have concern for our Navy against even Iran.
Unconscionable.
Thought you should see this.
It’s a good thing that China, Iran, ISIS and Russia would never gang up and attack us at once.
They have a lot of faults, but they would never stoop to that level. They will politely wait while we win 3 or 4 “medium-sized” wars at a time, with a year or so in between for us to rearm.
To make it fair.
That is also why they are mandating female combat infantrymen etc. To make it fair.
Can we fight ONE war at the same time?
does not currently have the ability to fight two major wars simultaneously,
Takes too long for the faggeaux to put their make-up on,,,,
A nation that pisses away thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars fighting wars halfway around the world, while at the same time allowing unfettered access across its own borders, shouldn't even bother fighting ONE war anymore, let alone TWO.
Physical degradation might as well match the metaphysical degradation.
King Obama can't count on them having the capability to fight one war overseas and another against Americans here at home at the same time.
That's the reason The King needed to spend billions on arming DHS like an army (Obama's "Civilian National Security Force")
When was the last time we won a war? We haven’t had the capability to fight even ONE for the last 50 years.
Perhaps other countries will come to the realization that maybe they should pay for their own defense and not have us do it for them?
Modern weapons are very advanced and take a long time to design and build. The more advanced they get, the harder they are to produce. That said, it’s foolish to think we’ll have plenty of time to prepare for future wars. It’s not likely going to be like WWII where the US military had years to rebuild itself.
No. We will likely go to war with what we have. If an aircraft is missing a high tech gadget that takes years to make, that aircraft is most likely down for the duration. Not enough smart bombs and complicated missiles? Probably too late to build more.
My point? It is more essential than ever before to have enough resources—on hand, including spare parts—to fight a war to completion. You can’t fabricate an F-22, a B-2 bomber, or their munitions in small, low tech shops.
High tech can be a vulnerability in itself.
The first dozen minutes is an intro w/impressive background info of each of the contributors to report.
This alarming report is "DEscriptive" of the current situation of our diminished military capability. These same folks are also working on a PROscriptive report coined...RAMP- Renewing America's Military Project
At around the 27 minute mark, discussion of availability/placement of military assets mentions the regions which our assets have no presence. He mentions Russia's increased efforts in the Arctic to secure shipping lanes. ..triggering a historic reminder of Europe's reasons for seeking secure commerce routes across little explored western seas - away from Barbary treachery. Given his remarks @ Africa security concerns...hmmmm.
I am pretty much sick of it all. If people really don’t like what Obama is doing, they would do something more than piss and moan.
So what? He sucks and is a traitor. So what? Whining accomplishes nothing. Obama loves our freaking whining. He knows he is free to do as he pleases.
But we aren’t.
