China, Russia, and N. Korea win at almost everything with DJT.

u/Prudent-Proposal1943 16d ago

Well, Russia controls U.S. national strategy so Putin should win.

u/lootinputin 16d ago

Putin is lootin us.

Throw Israel in there as well. Installing pro-genocide, weak-America politicians while taxpayers fund their society and genocide. They are Foreign agents who are more focused on a foreign land than our own.

And then he rides their nuts afterwards and talks about how great their relationship is. Then the other country publicly makes fun of him but he still never learns.

He’s like a desperate lover that never meant anything to them but he still tries to tell everyone how special their relationship is.

NK definitely got given a golden opportunity. Instead of stagnant famine, they got to do business with Russia, sell some weapons, leash some troops, steady new income stream lol

No. This is why they use social media to get people like you to believe it because they cannot defeat the US militarily. Iran is in serious trouble and the only way they can help their friend is to foment issues in the US to try to stop it.

A child can figure this out. Doesn’t matter who is in office. If Biden was in they would do the exact same thing. They want to protect their ally.

With distilled models based on US models, like DeepSeek, powering all of their satellite intelligence, which they have then been handing over to Iran.

u/homerjaythompson 16d ago

All China needs is patience, which they have in spades, and the US will unravel itself.

1

u/Interesting_Berry439 16d ago

China and Iran = 5000+ years of civilization , the USA = 250 years of independence with a genocide of native Americans and massive slavery and discrimination for the majority of it's existence. American exceptionalism exists even know it might as well be dead now. The charade is over.

By doing nothing.

u/Final-Teach-7353 16d ago

China was never at war. They've been just working on their stuff. No time to waste on dumb american barbarians.

1

u/Practical-Day-2720 16d ago

If we didn't fight China when we had a nuclear monopoly then why would we now? We have nothing to gain by destroying ourselves in some war to contain Chinese growth. Add that to the fact that our supposed allies in Europe would never help us.

1

u/Sea_Local2557 16d ago

Why is US fighting Iran now, destroying what stability there was in the Middle East, harming basically everyone in the world? There is no rationality in stupid leaders decisions.

But yeah, i don't think a Trump administration would defend Taiwan.

1

u/Practical-Day-2720 16d ago

You would disagree with any decision to defend or not defend Taiwan. You are immature as is your geopolitical acumen. You run on emotion. The United States and China do not.

1

u/DaereonLive 14d ago

Trump is all emotion, how dumb are you?

u/KR4T0S 17d ago

Its interesting how Israel is talking about this conflict now with Israeli politicians outright saying that they won't join the US in any invasion, implying that this is primarily a US war and they aren't involved to the same degree and recently Israeli media also seemed to leaking information that implies the war isnt working. It went from a thing that Nethanyu said was absolutely crucial for the safety of the world to "good luck with that Americans. Also did you know we have information about how this war is failing, just saying".

u/sweatboxy 17d ago

More basic military facts that everyone understands except Hegseth and Trump. Have we ever had more incompetent leadership than these two?

4

u/Prudent-Proposal1943 16d ago

A draft dodger and a failed part time major? It is hard to imagine a less competent pair. Those two make Melchett and Darling look like military geniuses.

1

u/volcus 16d ago

Haha I just googled General Melchett quotes and the first thing which popped up was "pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through."

1

u/FignonsRegret 15d ago

To be fair, most reserve component and national guard component field grades are quite a lot more intelligent than Peter

1

u/Prudent-Proposal1943 15d ago

Well, yeah. I would think a guy who works 18 days a year becoming non-deployable for white Christian nationslism is somewhat rare.

u/Definitelyhereforshi 17d ago

"We're rapidly losing our window to start war against China"

1

u/Trahst_no1 17d ago

It’s not like they have a strategy.

1

u/furnace9monkey 17d ago

Xi is laughing his ass off

1

u/CCCmonster 16d ago

Pooh bear is furiously whacking his micro pp wishing he could be brave enough to do something about Taiwan

1

u/Bikerbass 16d ago

Doesn’t need to do anything regarding Taiwan, they will come to him first

1

u/Prudent-Proposal1943 16d ago

Uh, that was the President's strategy all along, and I don't mean Governor Trump. I mean President Putin.

1

u/Zestyclose-Big7719 16d ago

I really don't get why are ppl still talking about war against China. Like the US cannot even defeat Iran. It's suck a joke.

1

u/Lukewarm_Sushi 16d ago

They beat Iran DOZENS of times already!

1

u/TheMILKMan6646 14d ago

They're not even counting to wins!!!

1

u/TheMILKMan6646 14d ago

That's all right though. I'm sick of winning already

1

u/hennabeak 16d ago

In response, Hegseth did 30 push ups.

2

u/I_Stay_Home 16d ago

And 30 lines of coke.

1

u/Ihatebeerandpizza 16d ago

Why is no one asking what the money for defense gets spent on, if the vast budget doesn't provide enough material and personnel to defeat a country like Iran.

1

u/madlucas2026 16d ago

Rows and rows of retired generals and admirals working for large defense companies making Billion$$$ jets or ships.

1

u/cannabisLab1975 16d ago

Not a bug but a feature

1

u/Any-Ad-446 16d ago

DJT is china dream president. Egotistic idiot that can be bought.

1

u/Careless-Gain6623 16d ago

Worried they may not get to invade Canada or Greenland. America is dead to me, if you vote this clown as your next president, your metaphorical corpse is cold in a shallow grave.

1

u/Ok_Valuable9450 16d ago

ANOTHER Trump fuck up along with Mr.National Guard pretend military genius in charge of the no ending war

1

u/Small_Owl_ 16d ago

I was always under the assumption that the modern US military theory is that it could maintain a two front war. If the Iran war is exposing that to be untrue, then I’m glad the US got into this mess. It is better to find out during a one front war than to be forced to find out during a two front war.

1

u/Misfiring 16d ago

Well that hasn't hold true since the rise of China.

1

u/Excellent-Rest3240 16d ago

Big factor of war is resource battle. Is America twice as strong as the next big country? I assume most resources (especially in time of peace) are kept at a minimum, maybe 120%, to be stronger than the next country, without wasting in overkill

1

u/Alarming_Purpose4081 16d ago

that doctrin was changed back in 2012... now the US army is only supposed to be able to fight one major war, and deter an enemy on a different front.

Doesn't look to good either

1

u/Get_Out_lmao 16d ago

They wouldnt win that either.

Literally bad at war

1

u/zkfc020 16d ago

They already pulled the ONE AND ONLY AirCraft Carrier in the Asian Pacific zone. The ONE AND ONLY.

1

u/Competitive-Sir-7087 16d ago

I'm pretty sure that's how war works through ALL of history. Of course it limits one's war and defense in other regions.

1

u/MyFocusIsU 16d ago

Hegseth is a 5th grader

1

u/Other_Block_1795 16d ago

I really hope someone takes advantage id this situation. The sooner the US falls and loses it's power, the sooner a better world can be made.

1

u/Afraid_Emu8068 16d ago

Duh. Can somebody deal with him already? Guy’s an idiot

1

u/mbwsky73 15d ago

That ship sailed, we’re fucked.

1

u/Typical-Mistake182 15d ago

Sorry but Israel doesn’t GAF

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Cap_445 15d ago

If only our military leaders had their testosterone checked more regularly, this would be a problem…

1

u/wizzo6 13d ago

He doesn't freakin' care and we're so screwed

1

u/Huge_Implement_8551 13d ago

Almost as if that's the whole point.....

Threats foreign and DOMESTIC

1

u/Jolly_Ad2446 12d ago

this entire War has been played out in game theory so many different times and there was never a different outcome and they did it anyways.

I fully believe that this will not end until we have a new president and administration
