Do the Biden administration and the Democratic majority in Congress believe that America’s major competitors are willing to wait for the United States to sort out its domestic problems before ensuring the country has a military capable of defending its interests? That’s the impression one gets from following the money.

Nukes...the great equalizer. It’s just having the balls to use them as a last ditch effort.

If we believe we have been taken over via a Marxist coup, why would we support the Marxist regime in the next war?

Rules of Engagement for Next World War

1) if Infidels are present, Sunni and Shi’a Islamic sects will unite to enslave (physical, sexual, economic), convert, or annihilate all Infidels

2) If Infidels are not present, Sunni will turn against Shi’a sects to annihilate each other until there is a ‘winner’.

Trump was a steady hand on the tiller. But Biden is a very dangerous wild card. He might do absolutely nothing if China invades Taiwan. Or he might declare war on Russia* if Putin moves one more tank closer to the Ukraine.

* I know that the Constitution gives only Congress the power to declare war. But that quaint notion was discarded many decades ago.

What? Biden is filling our military with Men In dresses and further mental issues due to wicked hormonal altering, who are pretending to be soldiers. What could possibly go wrong?

Nonsense. We have maternity flight suits for our cisgendered pilots.

Winning wars is much more a matter of attitude and spirit. We have watched the systematic disassembly of our military’s pride, power, and will to win.

There’s a word for this; suicide.

In saner times, anyone could look at this and see that something has already gone wrong.

That's what I was thinking. We're not necessarily the good guys any longer.

Never interfere with an enemy in the process of destroying himself. The next great war will be over the American carcass. This reminds me of the fall of the French Third Republic. Through incompetence, indifference, corruption, perfidy and treason that French Republic and our own fell. I expect the U.S. to eventually suffer a similar fate as the French.

“Winning wars is much more a matter of attitude and spirit. We have watched the systematic disassembly of our military’s pride, power, and will to win.”

Modern war (as WWII proved) also requires significant industrial infrastructure and economic self sufficiency (food, manufacturing), a united population willing to sacrifice for the common good, and superb leadership. Our manufacturing base has been gutted and exported. Our recently reacquired energy independence is being abandoned. Our nation is divided, not united. Our leadership is egocentric and self serving in most key segments - business, academia, media, government. A huge segment of the population is obese, self indulgent, lazy and dependent on government.

The US of today is very different than on December 7, 1941. We have less capability to fight today than we did in 1941.

We are ready to re-fight World War Two, Not three. Look what Covid did to us? In war time much worse would be tossed at us. No nukes in the new war but lots of robots. It will be more like the terminator than Iwo Jima. Drones and smart shells—will turn the battlefield into a bloody videogame. The only thing like WW II will be the body count and in the end—The USA will look like Germany did in 1946.
No one will be worried about cancel culture because our computers will be the first to go. No one will be worried about race save for the people who fight for the other side.

The usurping, unconstitutional JoeBama regime will do NOTHING because they OWE the CCP.
They are WORTHLESS against any enemy except for THEIR ENEMIES which are conservative, non-brainwashed white Christians that can think logically for themselves.

WWI - USA totally unprepared - entered the war after a bazillion killed

WWII - USA totally unprepared, entered the war after a bazillion already killed

Thats how we roll!
