And central to the latest DOD money grab is this statement, coming by the way from both the Army and Navy:
"We can't win a war with either Russia or China."
Wait!
We can't win a war with Russia and China. YES . . . that's true. But you know what else is true? They can't win a war with us!
Maybe I'm simpleminded but this sounds to me like a cause for celebration. In some twisted 21st Century way, this is a recipe for peace! None of the major powers would dare start a war since they know up front they'd lose.
YAY! Break out the champagne.
Now . . . that begs the question: why are our military planners crying the blues, getting all weepy, and saying we're in big trouble?
Because here we have another example of the grotesque deceptions we're subjected to. This one is a classic case of LYING BY OMISSION.
What did they leave out? Well, what they left out is . . .
WE CAN'T WIN A WAR OF AGGRESSION against Russia.
WE CAN'T WIN A WAR OF AGGRESSION against China.
We can't attack them on their soil, in their sphere of influence, on their seas, in their skies . . . and defeat them. WE CAN'T WIN!
This paranoia and prevarication highlights in big bold letters exactly what's wrong with our foreign policy, our military planning, our conquer-the-world mentality, the whole ball of wax.
AND . . . it also makes it completely clear why our DOD budgets are and will always be increasing, why our bloated expenditures on policing and bringing the rest of the world to its knees, are completely insane.
Let me take this a step further. Since that Zoom session -- this morning, in fact -- I extended this line of reasoning a bit further.
Here how that goes.
