Just a bunch of blather from the Stink Tanks. The US military is kaput. Which is a good thing for the world. It's all just a clown show. There won't be a draft. Western collapse is here and accelerating. Here's a senior Pentagon official who got arrested today for running a 20-year dog fighting ring. He's black, of course. https://dailycaller.com/2023/10/02/pentagon-official-accused-abusive-dogfighting-ring-2-decades-frederick-moorefield/

Yet another insightful post.

I note that the 'Army War College' Report totally glosses over 2 critical problems that face the United States right now:

#1 Russia's game changing development of new weapons, based on secret breakthroughs in advanced physics.

Not just offensive (eg manoeuvrable hypersonics) but also defensive systems (eg lasers)..

The advantage Russia enjoys in this area is exponential. The returns accelerate the longer the competition (America) fails to understand the physics behind these weapons.

To crack this will require a genius to emerge in the United States (ie pure luck), or a revolution in the American education system, which is in ruins. Even then it's debatable whether the Americans can ever catch up.

#2 America's poor / non existent military industrial capacity. Right now America can't sustain a major war against Russia, let alone China and certainly not Russia/China combined, for more than a few weeks.

Building this capacity would take years, and would be based on fossil fuels. It would require abandoning pretty much the entire global warming/climate change project.

By failing to include these two factors, the Report is pretty much meaningless drivel, consistent with the amateurs who seem to have written it.
