It is not “defeatist apologist” to suggest that acts of war are acts of war, regardless of who does them.
You need to read Sun Tzu.
We are very weak right now, and Russia and China are getting much stronger.
War with them is super stupid—off the charts stupid.
The US is still immensely powerful, though poorly led. Russia is much weaker right now than its been in many years - and its poorly led.
And China is not yet in any position to make war.
Yes, with every passing day, Russia's military strength grows!
All of the "weak" or "inferior" Russian soldiers are being killed, and all of the "defective" Russian materiel is being destroyed - leaving only the "strongest" and "finest" to endure! It's Darwin's "survival of the fittest" in actual practice! If it continues much longer, Russia's army will soon be made up of nothing but supermen!
