Our nation commanded by liberal defeatist simps is not equipped to deal with Russia at a nuclear level.

We cannot even decide on addressing the question of muslim factions - who to support and who not to support when the real answer is destroy them all.

I’ve been involved with the defense industry long enough to know that our capabilities may or once may have had the right structure and support behind them and even the right hierarchy to control it.

Our ‘structure’ commanded by civilians is too corrupt, too occupied with cementing in-country control of everything political to make any difference in the world at large in a significant encounter.
