Based on theoretic 2030 data when China has brought in additional capabilities .
Theres a good reason they reason they run these exercises. The analysis helps bring about future capability to counter the threat in time.

Very good and very true.
We don’t need boots of the ground. Just bombs away.

The US has 14,000 military aircraft, more than China and Russia combined.
a) you have to get them to the front lines intact
b) say half are in maintenance and not Mission Capable
c) the US had no answer to the Russian R7 BVR missile - ceding 30-45 miles.
d) Quantity has a Quality all its own. We have fancy planes - but in limited numbers; they have hoards of lower quality planes packing superior missiles.

The military no longer can fund repairs or training. Many of its planes are useless.
The Navy has totally given up on classroom training for critical positions - bridge crews and ship captains get OJT. While the dollars saved go to repairing the latest unrepairable toy or useless flashing light n dial equipment that is useless in an emergency ... or actual combat.

Is this a Fundraiser by the General??
Yes it seems. Perhaps all is not going as planned with the B-21 and a lot more money had to be poured into it so that 5 or 6 can actually be made (not the hundreds that are supposed to replace the B-52s and the rest of its bomber fleet)

Yup. I only alluded to an outcome of conflict whereby the USA doesn’t have to even destroy their country - blind them into submission as a desirable end.
Note: Of course the UN has plans foe five zones of advanced over the areas now the USA. I doubt it is classified by anyone but it is kept from the American and World citizens who probably object.
Oh I’m not “woke” so don’t poke, joke or assume anything of the nature you’ve alluded.

The democrats namely obama are to blame for that.
We could have had 750 F-22’s, but empERROR Zero had the program capped at 187.

Guess he wants more money.Yep. I learned years ago that these four-stars only tell us (and Congress) two things: 1) things are great and we need more money to keep them that way, or 2) things are terrible and we need more money to improve them.
