Actually, America might be in process of surrendering?

Chinese nukes in Cuba. China hezbolla Iran Russia got America so wired up for destruction internally. Justin Castro Trudeau helping china. Joe helping china. Many air defense been shut down. Much is still operational and active so some military going thru motions of defense to be kept busy .

America will find that retaliation will be almost impossible once hit from inside, outside and from above.

American bases don't have hundreds of armed troops defending. Just small amount of MPs. Internal enemy's can invade and seize any American conus base at will when orders given.

It's biblical. America is going out of existence soon but rest of world not. Sorry.

calculating the poorly-managed care for US vets is admirable and necessary, but how about calculating the costs from a civilians' point of view? since 1945 the number of displaced persons, wounded and traumatised, is staggering (and let's include the Palestinians). also what happens locally after the US' policing in all those far-away places has come to an end? only recently Niger asked the US (politely at first) to please leave - https://theconversation.com/the-us-is-losing-access-to-its-bases-in-niger-heres-why-thats-a-big-deal-227632 while now Iraq too has requested both the UN and US forces' withdrawal - https://www.shafaq.com/en/Economy/Harakat-Hezbollah-al-Nujaba-warns-against-US-reluctance-to-withdraw-troops-from-Iraq

So…all the regional wars just keep the war machine greased. Just go to dinner in Alexandria and soak in the ambiance of all the arms dealers on King street!

Real war, with mud and guns, vs. drone wars, with pasty skinny armed people in protected places. With the jabs killing off the old style soldier, these computer kids, with their jab addled brains, will be killing those they've never met, remotely. And then going out for fast food after to celebrate.

BREAKING: Helicopter carrying Iran's President Raisi crashes in mountains, official says

Fog is complicating rescue efforts, the state-news agency IRNA reported. Fars urged Iranians to pray.

DUBAI, May 19 (Reuters) - A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister crashed on Sunday as it was crossing mountain terrain in heavy fog, an Iranian official told Reuters, and rescuers were struggling to reach the site of the incident.

The official said the lives of Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian were "at risk following the helicopter crash", which happened on the way back from a visit to the border with Azerbaijan in Iran's northwest.

A lot of meaningless words and statistics from Mr. Stockman that ignore the elephant in living room: The enemy is inside the gates. The nation's enemies are in control of DC. And controls all of those weapon systems he boasts about. And controls the military force that's already deployed across the nation. Trained to occupy a nation hostile to the government and put down rebellion.

And any military engagement with another nation is paid for with blood and treasure these enemies in charge don't care a bit about. Because American soldiers are their enemies and American treasure is their enemy's to loot.

Blah blah blah about aircraft carrier and nuclear sub power. Completely irrelevant when their in the hands of our enemies. Stockman is a tool to focus on that instead of identifying the real state of affairs. Maybe he's an enemy occupier himself?

Exactly. Maybe he is?

No doubt about it. The Fascistic side. Our domestic enemy occupiers come in two totalitarian flavors, Communist and Fascist. Both are Anti-Constitutional. We've had and dealt with unconstitutional actors in our government before. Those are fellow Americans who are misguided. Anti-Constitutional actors are those who are hostile to it, operate outside constitutional restrictions, repugnant to the Constitution stuff. Reviewing his career, his stated values it's clear that he is hostile to the US Constitution. Making him an enemy to our nation. A war-monger who personally profits from war, who cheers on our destruction.

Could it be because the arms manufacturers and DoD have bought the legislative and executive?

Or even worse, the Communists, they want war everywhere all the time, and we're stupid enough to give it to them.
