Black People Politics : Pentagon study declares American empire is ‘collapsing’

If people would stop reading these comic book Government and horn tooting faux independent journalist assessments of America's military capability comparisons to our only other real nuclear capable military adversary "Russia" American citizens would focus on real world issues like the care, feeding and education of our children.

Short list

1. USAF F35 Fighter Program
2. USN Ohio Class Trident SLBM/SLCM Program
3. Russian SRF Topol M ICBM Program
4. Russian SRF RS28 Sarmat Program

Interested in real world taxpayer funded military weapons programs. FOI is your friend.

As North Korea intensifies missile program, U.S. opens $11 billion base in South Korea

... "We built an entire city from scratch," said Col. Scott Mueller, garrison commander of Camp Humphreys, one of the U.S. military's largest overseas construction projects. If it were laid across Washington, the 3,454-acre base would stretch from Key Bridge to Nationals Park, from Arlington National Cemetery to the Capitol ...

Now an almost two decade old multi role military basing program is resurrected to counter the North Korean missile threat? I guess the 12+ existing United States Military Camps surrounding Seoul are not enough of a target. Only problem other then creating a much bigger and easier to strike bullseye for North Korean conventional missiles or the Chinese built & supplied equivalent of the USN Railgun this super military base will contain it's own self supporting infrastructure which leaves not only existing but prospective South Korean businesses expecting to cash in on sales to military and civilian personnel in a complete state of stagnation if not outright bankruptcy. Well you know what the pundits on the sidewalk of Geopolitics say about the military intelligence parade of fools? Sort of reminds you of Jumbo shrimp. Thanks for reading.

:facepalm:
Did you see the flimsy reasoning offered for the move, if not, here it is:


"... The U.S. military has been trying for 30 years to move its headquarters in South Korea out of Seoul and out of North Korean artillery range ..."



:rofl: @Jumbo shrimp, good one.

"How come our navy and aircraft is in such reported poor and out dated condition? Wait, there was a General yesterday that said we have too many Generals we're paying for and so we can't afford ships and aircraft. Still, that seems exaggerated, huh? What is going on I wonder. Maybe they got something going on in hanger 51. NASA?"

It's not so much as it is poor or outdated as it is the Navy has suffered severe cut backs in funding that has impacted technical schooling, updates for weapon systems, repair and upgrading of equipment and procurement of new equipment. These systems are very technical and when they work, they have no peers -NONE! But the problem is cost and the technology is so advanced, it takes years to work out the bugs and level the down time due to failure. The cost of these fighter air craft is staggering! And they face a lot of technical problems due to constant upgrades and stabilization and lack of funding for repairs. Too many flag offers? That's probably true but it is not enough to impact the defense budget in any meaningful way. Again, it's the cost because the sophistication of these weapon systems that can very quickly and easily exhaust any budget.
Thanks for that information. I'm glad we're spending some money now for our military. Much needed when I think N. Korea is going to use one of Kim's IBM toys carrying a nuclear warhead. He thinks he can reach the middle of American mainland. This doesn't seem like a mere hint, but an absolute intention.
