How "POWERFUL" is U.S. and NATO Military......???

[Sourdough]

Relative to "All Comers".

 

[The Lazy L]

U.S. is number one.
NATO is strongest then any other competitor.

i dopnt know anymore, after the mandatory jabs for our military and how many left and now an aparent push to get rid of patriots and christians im not so sure we are as strong as we used to be.

 

[SLADE]

putin wants to know.

 

[Sourdough]

im not so sure we are as strong as we used to be.

We definitely were. I don't know today. One problem, actually one huge problem is it is like the children's game (Rock-Paper-Scissors) constantly, drastically shifting Priority of "type" of force.

It depends on the foe. Against another superpower using conventional weapons, we're unmatched if what we're told is to be believed.

Against a foe like, say, Afghanistan, we didn't exactly overwhelm and suppress. We killed a lot of people and blew up a lot of stuff, but we didn't kill their spirit or win the day. Our ignominious retreat sent a very interesting signal to the rest of the world.

With Biden in the captains chair, we're the laughing stock of the world, half the time you see him walking around like a lost puppy, what a sad situation, the emperor has no clothes. Also most of the generals we have now are just desk jockeys ,all good ones were gotten rid of.

Well, Clinton & Obama did their best to weaken the military, along with our ability to retaliate upon alert (i.e. "launch on warning"). Many of the old "hawks" are now retired or dead and we have these namby-pamby gutless brass who are more concerned with following idiotic new rules & regs (again, courtesy of the Democratic Party and their fraudulent figurehead). Powerful? I don't think so... not that it matters one bit, any REAL conflict on this planet will be orchestrated by dirty globalist swine, the puppet masters who control both Biden AND Putin, lol. I must say, Putin exhibits more strength of character than this demented & traitorous piece o' trash we have in the Oval Office, and that makes a BIG difference to HIS troops. I can't really envision ANY of our enlisted personnel, NCOs, and even the 'good' officers saying, "WE HAVE BIDEN!!!"

The whole premise of "launch on warning" was MAD, or Mutual Assured Destruction... after Clinton nixed "launch on warning" during HIS fraudulent time, and his buddy Obama helped to further neuter the military, particularly the top brass who are now all lap dogs, who's gonna protect this country? Go ahead, name ONE top brass general or admiral who has done ANYTHING of real significance lately, in regard to defense of this nation. I can't think of a single one... we've lost our TRUE military leadership in this whole socialist farce, same way we've lost all credible political leadership, judicial leadership, etc. All three branches of the gubmint are ROTTEN TO THE CORE, and you ask how POWERFUL we are as a military force? I'd say NOT VERY MUCH. This from an ex-Infantry soldier sick & tired of all the political bullsh!t...

We need the hand from Black Rifle Coffee to lead this country out of the hole in which it now lies... but I dunno, maybe even THAT guy couldn't counter these dirty Democratic Party swine, all bought & sold by globalist trash like so many branded & ear-tagged cattle. That "dark money" buys a lot of souls, that's for sure... Viking, I just read your post as I'm writing this, and you are correct, the U.S. has become the laughingstock of the world with this fraudulent piece o' trash at the helm, where he has NO rightful place to be. And as long as corrupt scumbags in all three branches of the gubmint do NOTHING about this ridiculous fiasco, well, it ain't gonna get any BETTER, that's all I can tell ya. Think the price of food, fuel, etc., will drop anytime soon? Of course not, as all this manufactured grief is all part of the plan... just like the Ukraine.

when macron in france won biden placed a call to congratulate. the call was refused---and thats not the first time thats happened. i suspect that our military has become far more impauired (by design) than the current resident in the WH is. there seems to be an agenda by those who consider themselves our betters. like george carlin said---there is a big club and we aint in it

dont stop stocking up on necessities and ask God for guidance
history shows us that the end of an empire tends to get a bit messy

That is a hard question to answer. Much depends on what and how much has been cut, and IF America has the will (leadership) to win. Historically, Clinton's first Defense budget was $325 billion. His last Defense budget was $320 billion. Eight years of stagnation and reduction. Bush raised Defense spending from $320 billion to $656 billion in eight years. Did we catch up? O'Bummer raised military spending in his first term and reduced it every year in his second term. Net affect, a reduction of about $20 billion over eight years. Trump raised Defense spending by almost a billion in his four years. I have not seen a Defense budget from Brandon, but reports are it is reduced. So what has been cut, and how deeply?

The second aspect is much more troubling. Do we have the will to win? With the proper leadership IMHO no one will stand in our way. When we decide to fight a war to win as we did with Desert Storm we would be unstoppable. When you have feckless politicians making battlefield decisions you have another Viet Nam or Afghanistan. Which team is going to show up?

We have the most & best toys, man power/ foot soldier is not what will win the next world war.
I think we have things that we are not telling the public about.

Yes. Lots of it; because people like me keep their mouths shut.
I remember the Iranians biggest warship being sunk and them saying: "Suddenly everything is on fire!, what's up with that?"
Poor safety practices, that's it.

We ain't got nuthin' but 40's era 50-cal machine-guns.

The US has half of the aircraft and helo carriers in the world and supply depots around the world.
