In an actual war, how fast do you think our infrastructure would become the envy of the world? The problem is Americans not wanting to fund such . In a war, such problems would vanish, and quickly. That's a fact.

lets see:
- our roads and bridges are crumbling. and we are not doing about it
- we can't even build civilian planes that can stay in the air (boeing) we even have astronauts stranded in space because of this
- good luck trying to move massive military equipment and soldiers over the oceans if we are in full out war with China or Russia
- we cant even arm Ukraine enough to stop the Russians from advancing. they are short on s s, missiles, planes, AA, you name it

Meh, we're clearly "fighting" with one hand tied behind our backs. We barely even do in response to them -- politics definitely plays a part as thousands of protesters support anyone against Israel + obviously the overall Yemen situation. If we really wanted to, we could crush their bases of operations and murder every single one of them. It wouldn't be a contest, at all. It's just not politically correct in the context. That's diplomacy for you. Really doesn't reflect on the USN at all, who is built to destroy nations top to bottom, not preserve the peace while killing rebels in holes. Same concept as Vietnam in action once again.
As for sailors or soldiers in general lol, cmon, dude. USA has an all-volunteer force, you know this. In the event of a real war, plenty of people who otherwise wouldn't would be called into serve definitely would. Oh, we're fat -- LOL, useless argument. not hard at all to have a hundred thousand men lose weight with literally the most basic meal planning and exercise. Actually proves my point, though - we're fat because we can be. No one dare challenge us other than the equivalent of fleas biting a dog. Again, not saying we're indestructible, but an empire in decline? I'll need harder evidence than we couldn't play whack a mole with rebels who operate on tiny costs.

coulda/woulda/shoulda

fact is Houthis have us running on the red sea like a bunch of tamponed es.

Why? They have a fraction of the arable land, a quarter of the population, a GDP lower than Texas. They can't even beat the Ukraine, homie. Yeah, right is my response to anyone (not even including us) letting them take the reins unopposed. It'd be China, if anyone leads a new world order, and that would obviously be for everyone but the upper echelon of the CCP. My point stands - USA could be a lot better, sure, but an empire in decline? LOL, who are the migrating barbarians or rising nations who can successfully oppose us in actual battle, in finance, in demographics, in fleet size, in nuclear capability, in our alliances and global projection all at once? It's checkmate, and has been since the Soviets fell. Only the nuclear option remains. Let's hope no one thinks it's worth a shot.

Russia is not trying to dominate Central America or South Asia. Neither is China installing bases all over the world. they both are simply defending their backyards. They can do that easily forever.

that's the point Im trying to make. Our empire can't rule the world like it did till now. Time to come home and enjoy retirement. Can we easily dominate the Americas for the next few decades? sure we can. Can we go fight major wars in Europe, Middle East or South Asia? no

and ma niga DMX7 is right. Im not even mentioning the financial disaster cliff we are at.

our empire is crumbling and there's nothing we can do about it. we can either take a slow fall end enjoy while it lasts or crash and burn.

Potholes, Grid Failures, Aging Tunnels And Bridges: Infrastructure Gets A C-Minus

https://www.npr.org/2021/03/03/97305...cture-gets-a-c

Many of the country's roads, bridges, airports, dams, levees and water systems are aging and in poor to mediocre condition. And they're in need of a major federal investment to keep from getting worse and to withstand the harsh effects of a changing climate, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers

[hater]

The warning signs are everywhere. In Texas, a winter storm leaves millions of households without power. In Wisconsin, farmers are struggling to safely use modern equipment on roads that were built over 50 years ago. In Arizona, a century-old bridge partially collapsed last summer after a train derailed. In Florida, old pipes are leaking millions of gallons of sewage. America, the city on a hill, is crumbling.

You obviously aren't in the US to see all the construction started in the past two years.

Because you only exist on the internet.

Try going outside.

If you were really worried about the debt you would start a thread on Social Security, Health Care, Military spending other than Ukraine.
Should we stop spending money on our Navy? The Navy keeps vital stretches of ocean transport open so we and other countries can trade goods.

I've literally started a thread here led "The National Debt" long before this war began. Unsurprisingly, this is not a popular subject and sadly things have gotten worse than I could have possibly imagined (from crazy Covid stimulus spending, unpaid for tax cuts, Ukraine war etc., etc. )

Don't be fooled into thinking we can't have a strong Navy if we cut defense by many billions. The money is not being spent well to begin with. Research it and you'll be shocked.

Putin has to be squeezed. He is NOT stopping after Ukraine. His time is coming. He will die and then we must hope those in power will see the stupidity of his decisions. Hopefully. In the meantime he cannot be allowed to march into Europe.

We need to start making decisions based on the practical reality, not hope. I see no chance of Putin attacking NATO given what he's already suffered in Ukraine and how totally outmatched he'd be. Russia is going to be aggressive. We can contain it but we can't stop it all. Supporting Ukraine enough to keep it independent and mostly intact was a good goal, but we've let Zelensky strong arm us into thinking we now have to pay to reclaim all territory lost, including territory lost before the full scale war began. This is recipe for endless war and debt because Ukraine isn't going to take back all its territory by force.

[DMX7]

Because you are ignorant of the actual meaning of the term "full-scale war" -- this is a you problem.

Actually, you are. Look it up.

True, it's actually more fragile today because the government is not based on a party, it's only based on one old man with very clear edema.

The Soviet Union took something like 15K KIAs before folding. Sounds a lot more fragile to me than this Russia.

OK.Tell us your definition of the full scale war you claim the US is now fighting.

Fantastic. Let's let Ukraine kill a lot more.
