Dear Americans,
From the outside looking in, it sure looks like your government is setting up to lose a war on purpose.
The following list are things that weaken your security and military. Potentially setting you up for a future invasion or to lose a major war overseas.
-
Stolen election - reducing military recruitment by creating discord among the most patriotic Americans. They don't want to enlist to fight for this corrupt government
-
Vaccine mandates for the armed forces - it's not easy to recruit and train a pilot or other highly specialized position. All of the positions are valuable and require training. Removing personnel because of vaccine mandates, thousands of them, weakens your military
-
Abandoning billions of dollars worth of equipment in Afghanistan (self explanatory)
-
Sending billions worth of equipment to Ukraine (self explanatory)
-
Depleting oil reserves - I don't understand how your leaders will tap into oil reserves while being against more domestic oil production during such a crisis
-
Trans things and woke recruitment - (self explanatory)
-
Attempting to remove modern rifles from the U.S. Civilian population
-
Removal of Russia from the swift system. - In WWII there was still trade between the west and Germany, there was a distinction between the war that was going on and the economy. Removal of Russia from SWIFT has provided more power to the Chinese alternative to that system. The Chinese alternative to that system presents a grave risk to the US dollar. It didn't need to be this way. Removing them from SWIFT has presented the Chinese with an opportunity to capitalize on. It was a huge mistake, and your government should have never pushed for it.
I'm sure there there are more items I'm missing but from the outside in, it sure looks like you're being set up to lose WWIII, or being set up to eventually be invaded by China once this whole thing escalates further.
No? Do you have an actual argument?
Grow up, you worthless fucking commie shill.
Done. Chinks lose. Next?
Wow. One boat. I’m so scared.
Yes, you do.
For those of you still terrified of Big Bad China coming for the US, even if they make everything in their military plan, they still won’t commission more warship tonnage than the USN from now to 2025.
US warships to be commissioned by 2025:
And those are just the commissioned major combatants, not including the MSC or support hulls. A total of 885,453 tons of commissioned warship by 2025, all of which are either currently under construction or currently on order. For reference, this is roughly 3/4 of the entire current PLAN commissioned displacement.
PLAN new build ships by 2025:
For a grand total of about 787,325t, and that’s only if they are wildly successful and there are no issues with building the first in class ships of at least 5 brand new first-build designs in the next 9 years. Still almost 100,000t less than the rate at which the USN has been building and commissioning warships for years now. The USN has more supercarrier tonnage (1.1 million tons) commissioned and operational than the tonnage of the entire PLAN. As of May 2015:
Carriers number/tonnage
LPA/LHD/LSD numbers/tonnage
LPD/LSD numbers/tonnage
LST number/tonnage
Since the decommissioning of the last Newport-class in 2002, the USN has not used LSTs. It still operates 32 LCUs (381t apiece) as well as the 35 US Army operated LCUs (1,102t apiece), but because the USN has so many LHAs, LHDs, LPDs, and LSDs, LSTs are no longer needed to ferry LCUs to the combat area. Notice that this class of vessel, which the USN considers obsolete in modern amphibious warfare, comprises over 20% of the PLAN fleet. So, no. Even if they’re wildly successful (spoiler: they’re commies, so they won’t be), the Chinese are not even going to be gaining ground with the 2025 plan.
China has a shit military (relative to NATO) and an economy entirely based on trade with NATO countries. The only threat the pose is economic. They’re actively looking for ways to collapse Western stock markets and delete wealth in retaliation for–or preemption of–NATO aggression in the South China Seas or North Korea. But it’s not just an intentional threat they pose. China is responsible for almost all of the world’s economic growth now. The West has been stagnant since 2008 and the entire world has been riding the coattails of China as it continues to build more and more production capacity, no matter what the cost. That cost has not been seen yet, but it will be realized. Soon. Chinese debt is out of control. Their economy is based on increasing demand in Western countries, but the amount of debt that we could accommodate peaked in 2008. We have no more demand, therefore China has no more growth. Ergo emerging markets have no one to sell more raw goods too. The Chinese have been in denial about this since the last crash and have simply increased borrowing to keep production and economic growth, but no one is buying more. The loans will never receive their projected cashflows and each year they add more and more. China is about to implode and the Communist Party will be overthrown by the People’s Liberation Army.
You only have to look to Japan to realize this. They had enormous growth from the end of WWII to the 1980s (thanks, billions of US tax dollars in reconstruction!). Finally, when they were the third largest economy in the world and everyone was predicting they’d be the biggest in the world by the year 2000, they imploded and have had stagnation ever since. What happened in the ’80s? Manufacturing moved to China. In the ’90s, GATT and other trade agreements helped move even more manufacturing to China than had ever moved to Japan (people hate Japanese cars for a reason–they killed American jobs). China has already hit its peak. It’s all Japan from here. Except this time it’s not happening to an ally. This time the overcapacity is many times greater. This time the whole world is overburdened with debt and has low growth. The Japanese had a growing world to sell to. The Chinese will not.
Well you know they would just have us surrender
