We’ve always been at war with Eastasia.

Consider the structure of the US military. Why does the US have 20 divisions between the active Army and the National Guard? Why is such a massive force structure, plus vast reserves of equipment, maintained at all?

There is only one reason - to be able to fight a powerful continental opponent, just in case. And that opponent isnt the Chinese, thats what the USN is for, and thats another discussion.

All the “little wars” the US has gotten into since the 1990s were sideshows. All this expensive power exists because of worries about Russia, and no-one else.
