This is not the military of 1941. We outspend the next 20 nations combined. We are not behind by any stretch.
All my life we have been told oh, the Russians will destroy us. Bullsh*t. It was an utter lie. And it is a lie once more. Russia without any aid from the USA for Ukraine could not contend with Ukraine. They thought they had a 5-10 day war, and here we are, almost two years in.
China KNOWS where its bread is buttered. They are NOT going to attack Taiwan, and they are NOT going to attack the USA. But to remind them why that is not a good idea, all we need tell them is that we will rain down nuclear weapons on their heads gladly, if need be. They will not do a damn thing. PERIOD!!!
Russia is a joke. Russia would have trouble with the Duchy of Fenwick! China is too smart to attack us, and destroy their economy, no way. Iran is a threat right now to largely Israel. And North Korea, led by a nut job, they could be a nuclear threat to the USA. We need defense missiles to shoot down anything they send our way.
