You think USA would last a month if WWIII broke out? Heck no! Gas prices would rise to $10 a gallon and the US would scream uncle. End of story.

I was in the area of Chatsworth CA(San Fernando Valley) and saw one gas station Chevron Reg gas 6.79 and Premium 6.99. That may be using credit card. Thank you Joe Blow Biden.

Our biggest enemy is the permanent DC Establishment.

Every negative policy & ideology has a home in that control freak & parasitic enclave.

“We are probably also running low on many munitions and guided missiles etc. I know I read we are low on the 155mm howitzer shells.”

Some Harvard MBA Affirmative Action babe at DOD deemed that protracted Land Wars were no longer possible...so why prepare for them? On the other hand, Russia doesn’t hire AA Harvard types...
