Trump was right about the US Space Force

[22lcidw]

Sadly in the last election only about 2% of the people voted like me, thus I think it is a tad unfair to blame us.

So, if third party you may have cost Trump the election if it was legal. Joe is more comfortable when he is in Europe than he is here. We sure hate politicians once known as candidates and elected as we destroy their personalities and their past ways of living.

I did not cost Trump shit.

Beside Trump was no better a choice than Biden.

Not really, most just ride off in to the sunset and enjoy the good life.

Perhaps you should visit the ghettos and see the realities. A whole subculture and self-enclosed economic system using the legitimate system we all live in to fund it. Hands on experience seeing this and all the resources spent with little movement in things getting better is a crime to all of us.

I have been dirt poor, eating popcorn for meals as it was all I could afford.

And now we are in the top 7% or so of income earners.

Yeah... sure... that's why they're building a strategic nuclear fleet... to kill us with kindness... your opinions on this subject are best ignored...

The US has an arsenal of 5244 Nuclear Weapons
Russia has an arsenal of 5889 nuclear weapons.
The Chinese have an arsenal of 410

Um, yeah, the Chinese aren't the problem here. We are.

Despite progress in reducing nuclear weapon arsenals since the Cold War, the world’s combined inventory of nuclear warheads remains at a very high level.

Politeness, maybe . But not "kindness". I don't think the Bataan Death March was very "kind" even in your leftard world view.

Um, the Bataan Death March was carried out by the Japanese.

Good for you. If you are a socialist, then give it up to those not so fortunate. No Progs living well with socialist views seem to do that. I see the same type of socialism as in human history. Everyone is equal to economic degree as they extort the taxes from the wages of the peasant to give to another while a percentage lives high off them.

I am not a socialist, thus I will keep as much as I can for me and mine.

I leave the rest up to you folks

Okay. However, those inner-city problems are not going away. And the problems are growing in other areas that have issues also. So, to me something different has to be applied. And it seems that is not in the cards.

Or the Air Force could have continued doing these things without the need for a whole new service and all the extra brass that comes with it, using up valuable dollars that could be better spent.

I expect such simple-minded TDS replies from your ideological brethren, but you have occasionally broken away from that herd in the past. Sorry to see you have rejoined them.

What value was added by Space Force that the Air Force was not already doing?

Dumb $hit... nuclear weapons are unusable... I'm talking about Conventional Warfare capabilities... the only kind of war that CAN be fought without committing suicide.

And, in that context, the Chinese are the most dangerous existential threat that the United States has faced in a generation or more... you're an idiot for not seeing it.

And... how-in-the-hell does possessing an overwhelmingly larger nuclear arsenal make US the problem in the context of Chinese-American relations?

WE are the problem?

WE are at fault for Chinese aggression over the past two decades or more?

What are you... some kind of Fifth Columnist?

Phukk you.

As I said before... your (stupid) opinions on the subject may be safely ignored... next batter, please.

 

[Hellbilly]

Perhaps their plan is to conquer this country, send you to reservations and force your kids to go to Chinese boarding schools.

Okay, let's look at that.

China hasn't invaded another sovereign country since 1979, when it invaded Vietnam in retaliation for Vietnam overthrowing the Khmer Rogue in Cambodia.

They have three Aircraft carriers compared to our 11.

Their military technology is about 30 years behind ours.

And... how-in-the-hell does possessing an overwhelmingly larger nuclear arsenal make US the problem in the context of Chinese-American relations?

WE are the problem?

Um, what aggression are you talking about? Against Taiwan? Taiwan is a province of China? YOu mean building fake islands in the South CHINA Sea? Um, can't get worked up about that.

On the other hand, in the last 30 years, the US has invaded or bombed - Iraq (twice) Afghanistan, Yemen, Serbia, Libya, Syria, and probably a whole lot more I am not listing.

What China IS doing is building a lot of good will around the world with foreign aid and the Belt and Road initiative to help potential clients import their goods.

What are you... some kind of Fifth Columnist?

No, just someone who isn't going out to commit world suicide because the Corporatists now regret sending all our industry to China. Oh, the Chinese are now beating us with the club we sold them!

Phukk you.

As I said before... your (stupid) opinions on the subject may be safely ignored... next batter, please.

Frankly, other than repeating Fox News talking points, you haven't really made a case why China is the enemy, exactly?

 

[YoursTruly]

On April 21, the Financial Times ran a story that should be front and center in U.S. national security policy circles ("China building cyber weapons to hijack enemy satellites"). It asserts that a "Classified CIA document assesses Beijing's ambitions to take control of communications critical to fighting wars."

If they're classified documents, the media wouldn't be privy to them.

 

[Hurricanelover]

I'll agree with you on that. Trump was right on the space force and the need to merge military resources towards that mission. Believe me, other nations like Russia and china are doing the same.

We need world leaders who care more about coming together, than opposing each other.
This competitive BS is going to be the downfall of the human species.

 

[Kondor3]

We are so divided now that Chinese domination may be preferable than unifying with our fellow Americans.

This is the response of someone who is OK with Authoritarianism or Autocracy or One-Party Rule. Seen. Understood. Remembered.

The Space Force already existed when Trump carved it away from Air Force where it was thriving. There was a lot of opposition to the Space Force at the time it was announced, on the grounds that making it a separate branch of the military, was a waste of money and resources.

This is like saying a Submarines Force should be a separate branch of the military and not part of the Navy.
