I suppose I should add that this is not a response to your political views, whatever they may be. It's a response to your account's pattern of posting low-quality and flamebait comments, especially on divisive topics. We don't need you to change your views but we do need you to stop posting like that.
It's the same "Iraq has wmd" Bs all over again pushed by these trash rags.
Of course it will be "low quality and flamebait" for y'all
What do you mean by that
Look at the amount of equipment US has lost in Vietnam - 10,000 aircraft, including strategic bombers! incomparably more ammunition. Those losses were considered sustainable!
Now it can’t produce enough dumb artillery shells!
You will find that US can only produce a fraction of what it could in 1970’s.
If there was a firm belief "The US will respond in force to aggression" it would prevent the attempts, and the US would stop wasting ordinance responding in a halfassed way.
Alternately, the US could just do nothing outside of the 1-2 regions it cares about (ie, the pacific). But the current status isn't great.
One of the geographical trick question is "Which country has the US NOT bombed?" and not many people can answer this.
The money is different with Taiwan being able to buy or build weapons. Taiwan does need to increase their defense spending. They should license build weapons, and then sell the excess to Ukraine.
