This, plus the US will soon discover it is bankrupting itself through military spending. We are squandering our resources. Our defense budget is ridiculous. We should cut it in half, rely on drones and ICBMs to reply to a direct attack. And the US should get out of Afghanistan, Europe and Korea.

The biggest threat to the US is the insidious domestic growth of ignorance and socialism, we're doing that to ourselves.

When are you running for office? I don't think the US has the attention span or the will to win anything other than the Armed Forces Bowl. I think Eisenhower was right about the military industrial complex. The only area I really "worry" about, is if the PRC decides to make it's move on Taiwan.

If someone could find a way to make peace profitable, the United States would be the most peace loving country in the world.


Until then, the MIC is very profitable.

Looking back in history and military history you can see who our ancestors fought a war.

I have tried to imagine a full scale war where two superpower or one of them is a superpower are using only unmanned machines.

How would such a war be fought ? Which type of military doctrine and strategy would be used ?

Yes, and we should ask ourselves the question: Is Russia a serious threat to the world's security. Probably not unless provoked. Sure, they are a dictatorship run by a guy with his arm to his elbow in the cookie jar, and I do not want to diminish Ukraine, but they are no Third Reich,

Is China a serious threat to the world's security. Probably not. They may not allow their citizens all the freedoms we have, but they have an orderly society and for the most part, decent human rights. As long as you toe the Party line. Someday they will make their move on Taiwan, though I seriously cannot see why that's so blinking important to them.

Is the US a serious threat to the world's security. Hard for me to be unbiased, but other than the endless interventions in the middle east, I would say not. If the US would get serious about their justice system and enforce their internal laws, and forcing people to be accountable for their own welfare instead of leaning on the state, American society could improve, but I think the decline is an inevitable evolution of more freedom and ever-higher standards of living and expectations.

The US/China/Russia need to sit down and draw out a roadmap and become partners instead of adversaries.

Because the way things are going, one day something is gonna go wrong, then it will go really wrong.

Birds of a feather flock together ... it's hard to conceive that we could ever be allied with Russia or China on anything.

Iran and North Korea are allied with China supportive of North Korea as they were with Vietnam.

Look at how smart you have to be to be in the nuclear age with America, UK, France, Pakistan, India Russia, China and even Israel and now North Korea, even South Africa and Argentina use to have nuclear weapons.

Look at the arms race to have the best and latest fighter planes, ships, submarines, rockets, missiles.

There in is the problem one side thinks that they are smarter than the other side and that you are not going to tell them what to do.

Proud, arrogant, uppity can not get along with each other ... History proves that war is a way to control the other mans thoughts.

Yes there will be a war and society will have to start all over again from scratch saying things like "Oh we shouldn't have done that"

"Lets outlaw all nuclear weapons and if the other countries won't agree we will have to go to war with them"
