Putin isn't the only threat to global stability. I didn't say 'Russia will conquer the world'. Think.
What message does it send to countries like China (vs Taiwan who are crucial for chip manufacturing) when the USA is too weak to counter Russia?
China would have to be insane to invade Taiwan, us involvement or not.
Lmao good to know you're entirely divorced from reality
Remind me again, which USA political party sent a bunch of their senators to Moscow on Independance Day? Was it the one you vote for?
We don’t vote for parties. We vote for people. What senator from Oregon went to Moscow?
Right now I can't see China invading. They would destroy everything they want to keep. China could win the war, but that would be a pyrrhic victory.
Exactly. China stands to gain basically nothing from an invasion. Taiwan has naturally defensible terrain, and the only thing they have of value is the semiconductor industry, which would be destroyed in the war. And both the optics and casualties would absolutely suck for China and ruin their reputation hard.
That and China have never shown great competence in using their military. I suspect they are a paper tiger.
Don't worry. We will get the Democrats out before they weaken us to much more. All the whining they did about defense spending has allowed Ukraine to hold Russia off for two years. Had the Republicans not spent the money, Ukraine would have fallen after a week.

You got the wrong guys.
That isn’t weakening our military. Most of the paper pushers at top are pure political and do more harm than good. Milley did a lot of damage with his woke bullshit
The army is diverse by nature and has a purpose. It isn’t to preach woke values. They can’t figure out why recruiting is down when they attack the people most likely to join.
It must be nice to be able to pick and choose facts.
What you served, how often did you talk to those people? How much value did they provide you ?
