My favorite thing about fascists is their consistent inability to win wars against peer rivals.
also biting off more than they can chew cause of getting high on their own supply
It’s funny how blatant they’re being about it. Like you didn’t even change the title much. And the article is pretty transparent about saying there are concerns that they won’t be able to wage war against the DPRK or China because of what they’ve lost against Iran.
Like here:
Analysts believe war plans with North Korea call for a significant amount of US missiles, both to hit enemy targets and to defend US forces and Seoul from projected massive strikes by Pyongyang’s forces.
They aren’t even hiding it. They’re talking about Occupied Korea like it is just a US military base with the civilian people living there as an afterthought. Which is pretty much what it is, but it’s so mask off. And they call it “war plans”, not some hackneyed euphemism.
The O’Hanlon quotes are the most weasel word, but sound downright funny when you read past it:
O’Hanlon of the Brookings Institution said he doesn’t believe the US military’s ability to deter Chinese or North Korean aggression “has suffered yet.”
But the expert cautioned that “at some point” deterrence could wane. “It’s probably unmeasurable and unknowable where that point might be, since it’s largely about an adversary’s psychology,” said O’Hanlon.
“Unmeasurable and unknowable.” I guess that’s bourgeoisie intelligentsia for “I don’t fucking know.”
It really is incredible to read. But also kind of hilarious that they genuinely think they could take on DPRK or China given how things are going with Iran and Ukraine. The level of delusion is truly off the charts here.
Yeah, if Iran can hold its own against the empire, then I’m not sure it’s even exaggeration to say that China would be capable of doing a reverse uno and turning empire states into failed states. All the more so after all the resources the empire has burned against Iran. Not that China would want to do that much widespread damage, but I guess what I’m trying to say is, I really don’t think the empire has yet gotten the message that its hegemony is not coming back.
Exactly, we live in a whole new world now.
