Of course, as a nation we need to have an absolutely reliable military, second to none, and far more powerful than whatever nation is second (China in the near and foreseeable future?), weaponry that makes our enemies cringe in fear, a societal commitment to and honor towards those who serve and have served. That military needs the capability to deploy whenever and wherever genuinely needed in the interests of our own country and those of our best allies. Our politicians need to refrain from overusing that military.
OTOH, this nation is now flat on its back economically as a result of the inconclusive (because of feckless politicians of both parties) Iraq and Afghanistan wars, 5 1/2 years of Obozo's economic insanity designed to destroy this nation and its middle class and to infinitely expand the welfare dependency classes. We are far worse off now than when Ronaldus Maximus succeeded Jimmuh Peanut. We also don't have an obvious Reagan on the horizon.
Therefore, it is a good and necessary thing that Japan, Germany, Poland and others are going to have to step up to the plate and provide their own defense. We need to rebuild US defenses and offensive capability and are now unable to continue to protect mankind under our umbrella for te time being. We probably need to rebuild the core of commanders in each service because I would suspect that Obozo's criteria for forcing retirements and promoting replacements are truly alien to our own and to our nation's interests.
The day will come when we have an American world again but we will then have much stronger allies. In this way, Obozo's evil plans will actually backfire as leftist plans often do.
In the meantime, though we do not deserve it, may God bless the USA and protect it and us from its and our enemies!
Thanks for providing this wonderful forum in these terrible times!
Yup. We’re going back to pre-WWII complacency. And I’m afraid the results will be the same. We’ll have to scramble (again) to mobilize for yet another inevitable world war within a decade or so. But I don’t know if we’ll be strong enough to pull it off this time. Crying shame that we’ve allowed Obama to destroy our nation so completely.
