‘Big one is coming': Chilling warning about US military's lack of preparedness from top official

The warnings come after it was reported in October that America's military had become weaker over the last several years and is at risk of not being able to respond to outside threats.

The Heritage Foundation, in its 2023 Index of U.S. Military Strength, noted that the military is “weak” and that it was “at growing risk of not being able to meet the demands of defending America’s vital national interests” — marking the first time in the index’s nine-year history that the country has been rated so low.

HERITAGE FOUNDATION RANKS US MILITARY AS ‘WEAK’ FOR FIRST TIME

“This Ukraine crisis that we’re in right now, this is just the warm-up,” said Navy Adm. Charles Richard, the commander of U.S. Strategic Command, according to the Wall Street Journal. “The big one is coming. And it isn’t going to be very long before we’re going to get tested in ways that we haven’t been tested [in] a long time.”

I would never sign up again under this president, and told my son not to. I really wanted him to keep the Navy tradition going in our family.

It symbolises prefectly what our military has become.

Would you rather have a “Potemkin village” version vs. reality?

Lack of preparedness is Milley’s Legacy. The American Army is totally unprepared and right now on the battle field would be annhilated. The good news is the troops are experts on race relations, speaking with proper pronouns and marriage vows for same sex marriages.

To paraphrase for effect: millions to appease faggots but not one cent to defend the nation’s soul.

No sh*t Sherlock. The country is a living and breathing thing.
That’s can be, a good thing, and a bad thing. Doesn’t mean the U.S. is not the most capable country in the world when it comes down to it.
Or maybe Brandon is the end! 😱

Just send a bunch of trannies.

Oh and chicks raised by two moms.

I’m sure our enemies will tremble in fear at facing that.

I would urge all straight White males to get the hell out of the military and stay out. These people clearly hate you and they make that clear on a constant basis. Don’t be cannon fodder for them.

Easier to just line up all the perfumed princes and ring knockers and shoot them, cheaper to.

The enemy is going to marvel at the diversity of the woked American military dead.

China doesn't push 'diversity' in China...
