    This I 100% believe. The US is weak right now as Trump and Elon cripple vital institutions, fire highly qualified generals, lash out at allies, and financially strangle anyone who won’t kiss the ring. Inflation and housing costs continue to rise, and I worry the US is headed towards another Depression. Hegseth appears to be trying to turn the military into a brainless machine that shoots first and asks questions later.

    I fully expect China to take over Taiwan without much resistance from the US, since it will be too busy shooting itself in the foot.

    Not surprising since they’ve been fighting an economic war for decades now.
