You are confused. You complain that the US lacks weapons, and then you complain that the US builds weapons.

If your point is that the US does this inefficiently, then we have an area of agreement.

If your response is just a mass of generalised resentment of the condition of the US, that’s something else. My view is its the predictable decadence of any successful culture/empire. Check out Spengler. History brings bad news. Good things come to an end. Enjoy the decline.

You quote another's comment. I did not write that, except to quote another.

We have that area of agreement. Things do indeed come to an end. But the pressure for liberty is strong, even as it appears in other places without the "projection of military might" that some nations are currently demonstrating. Like Russia. Like NATO. Like the United States.

I worked in Belgium in that period when the nation couldn't agree on a political governance for over 500 days. The bureaucrats kept things running on a generally even keel. Belgium, once a colony-governing nation, is no longer, though it is still Belgium. And managed to survive its "government-less" period. Currently I see it as a colony of the EU Commission, but that too will come to an end. I suspect that this will be how things ravel and unravel even here in our United States.

Being a citizen of Liberty and Inalienable Rights, whatever decline occurs -- like the recession appearing in Germany -- I fully expect good things as well. In time. Time will tell.

Stay free; it annoys the aristocrats and oligarchs.
