Therefore we need to cut all non-essential government spending, for example everything that isn’t defense spending, and reallocate it to defense spending so we can overwhelm China’s defenses with wave attacks of billions of big beautiful boats that cost billions to build and only a million to sink
Lol sounds like he’s doing a great job in his role checks notes in charge of US defense.
Rule 1. When you’re having political problems at home, create a foreign enemy to distract the population.
Also, a foreign threat tends to gather the citizens together. Our post-9/11 unity allowed them to create the Homeland Security Gestapo.
who says the enemy has to be foreign?
common fascist tactic.
Also a common liberal tactic.
Lots of comments that “this is a false distraction to justify war on Panama”. War on Panama is about interdicting Chinese commerce with Brazil and other countries south of US. Including FDI in Panama to boost its cross ocean trade volume through a railway.
This is more of a classified leak exposing US weakness and impotence. This does compromise stupid people’s faith in US protections across the world, and their rulers corrupt submission to US under propaganda of US protection.
Someone got fired for unauthorized leak today. https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-850238
they already forced a 100% tariff on chinese imports in brazil
I’m only aware of 30% tariffs on Chinese steel in Brazil, which is same mistake any manufacturing country can make. This was under Biden. They are unpopular, and Brazil still does significant trade with China.
a) we are not a manufacturing country. we mostly sell raw materials to china
b) manufactured chinese imports are taxed 100%, not raw materials. think consumer goods. we have a few exceptions, like EVs
This is both believable, and actually makes me feel safer about world security
Apparently the crucial moment for the US to attack was a few year ago, when they still had naval superiority. They missed their window luckily for us. Thanks to the PRC the US doesn’t get to use SE Asia and Europe as their cannon fodder.
US can’t even beat Ansarallah
I remember how they bragged that the operation against Yemen was the biggest naval operation since WW2.
And they lost that, against country having no navy and no airforce.
…and the US could make a China shaped nuclear crater to the west of Taiwan. Then everyone clapped.
“Bro, what if…”
“Well we could immediately escalate any conflict to end human civilization” is not the boast you think it is.
Look at the current war in Ukraine – the closest we’ve come to direct conflict between two nuclear superpowers. Nukes are useful only to the extent they make the other side think twice about a large, conventional invasion. If you actually use them against someone who can retaliate, you lose.
Could they though? You think China would just sit around and let the U.S fire nuclear missiles at them without intercepting them and firing their own? Why are you so sure that wouldn’t just end up with a U.S sized crater north of Mexico?
Also, dismissing any predictive situation as some crazy out there “what if” is hilarious.
War games are an extremely important part of any strategy so that you don’t just walk right into an easily predictable slaughter because you “don’t care about what ifs”.
That would be so funny.
The enemy is both weak and strong.
inshallah
