Russia spends 3.9% of its pathetic GDP (one-twentieth the size of our GD) on defense. We spend 3.4% of our monster GDP on defense, and the chiefs want more money.
Signal Corps may weell fite the kill shot in the next war. We can deny the government and militay coms, blinded and sitging ducks they agree to terms of the conflict they started on US terms.
China will be broken into 19 different states if they lose.
My understanding is that since 2001 we have identified and communicated with future partners in the break up of China proper.
Numerous briefings indicates we can and will win the global communications war.
Aircraft of the future will be flown by drones.
The U.S. will get smashed in a war against China. It lost military superiority back during the Obama era.
Id be interested in knowing if thats just a personal opinion or you have some knowledge of such things.
You have to define what a war with China looks like or what it is even over. Doesnt matter how big their army is. We aren’t going to invade, and they cant invade us. Their army is big but it is land locked and is used mostly for internal control anyway. A war with China will almost certainly be fought in the waters of the asia-pacific and in the air space over those waters and over mainland China. We can bring the fight to them. They cant do that to us.
“China will be broken into 19 different states if they lose.”
You better wake up because the good ol’ US of A is on the brink of doing the same thing right here and now. What’s worse, we are in a shooting war with our own people as the enemy combatants.
How’s that F-22 trade for the F-35 working out, General?
I read some of his books a while ago. Certainly very interesting hardware concepts, including the subcutaneous communications.
Ping.
He’s just barking for more money. the Military Industrial Complex does that.
“Id be interested in knowing if thats just a personal opinion or you have some knowledge of such things”
She’s a Chinese propagandist. Those of us with professional knowledge knows she is FOS.
but it has all those lesbians in its officer corp
And how long before it went bad.
I am not concerned about the Air Force.
However, I am concerned about the pussys running this country after the first missile hits Long Beach. We are a country quickly becoming run by Neville Chamberlains.

You must be asleep in another decade. Have you taken a look at any of POTUS Trump's military budgets?
Or, are you [still?] neverTrump trolling?
TXnMA
That’s okay. If the Air Force is short on conventional weapons, the nukes will fly.
Get rid of him
Weird statement but, whatever.
Let me get my checkbook
We have more experience at logistics and actual warfare...
and unlike China or Russia that list is comprised of a load of friends who would fight along side us...maybe
The Air Farce have themselves to blame. And on top of that, China has schematics on likely EVERY plane, down to the screws and rivets. And they manufacture the rest.
Useless? What is your source for this claim?
