America’s ‘Great Retreat’ is well underway
The US is rapidly lowering its military profile and backing away from commitments to allies in the Middle East and Asia

Why would the US Department of Justice drop five cases against Chinese researchers including Dr Juan Tang, a cancer researcher who allegedly lied on her visa application after photos of her were found wearing a Chinese military uniform?

The five cases are just part of a bigger picture which can best be termed as “The Great Retreat.” In many areas, the US is lowering its profile and backing away from its commitments.

For example, the US has pulled its only aircraft carrier, the USS Ronald Reagan, from the Pacific ostensibly to cover the retreat from Afghanistan. But whether the Ronald Reagan carrier will return to Japan in the future isn’t altogether clear.

As the need for an aircraft carrier while the US pulls out of landlocked Afghanistan is questionable, the result is that the US is leaving the Pacific devoid of carrier coverage, which appears to contravene the US policy of protecting its regional allies and partners in the region.

In Guam, the US has moved its big bombers including the B-1 and B-52 back to the continental United States (CONUS in Penatgonese) and is using the Guam base mostly as a forward depot where it can try and cycle in bombers on an as-needed basis. The real problem: Guam is increasingly threatened by Chinese missiles.

Great observation and there is obviously a need to worry. But as tanks and aircraft carriers lose their value as weapons and increase their attractiveness as targets, we cannot help but think that there is a hidden plan here. There may be replacement systems and technologies in the wind which are being downplayed in the news. While we know about advancements in drone capabilities, and CHAMP technology is far from classified, these things will certainly be game changers in the next large conflict. We hear more about hypervelocity weapons than we hear about AI battlefield applications, but we aren't told much about the real impact of either. I bet horse soldiers thought the world was ending when tanks were first mentioned too.

Lloyd Austin is sec of defense. He is a "woke person", marxist, and purging all conservatives from military. HE IS PUSHING C.R.T. on the men and supporting gayess, trannies.
