⁠ @juliandarch9278 lol our debt to China is treasury bills. They’re not loan sharks. Japan holds more US debt than China does and our biggest creditor is the American people. You have to educate yourself.

@cheekybastard99 they actually are vital strategic interests. We just don’t need to put boots on the ground to deal with any of these threats. If you’re thinking we can isolate ourselves you should read up on what has happened every time we’ve tried that. It doesn’t work out for us and ceding the world to Russia or China would be self destructive.

@andrewwotherspoona5722 that is patently false. Come on, do a little research. War is a money making venture. Always has been and our military is designed to fight multi front wars. Just like Ukraine is fighting our war against Russia, Taiwan would fight China and Israel can deal with the Middle East. We’d have to be in the direst of straits to put boots on the ground. We have the largest navy by tonnage and the 2 largest air forces in the world. Let other armies do the fighting on land and let our planes and ships handle the rest

⁠ @evobsm2328 we won Vietnam, Korea, Iraq and Afghanistan. Political decisions are not military defeats. Korea was going down so bad they had to ask china for help and a single marine division was racking up 100-200 kills per man and only withdrew because the government said to, we beat the ARVN so bad they let the Vietcong take over then the VC got their asses kicked, the mission in Afghanistan was get rid of Al qaeda depose the taliban and kill bin Laden which we did and Iraq was beaten in six weeks.

@gumpyoldbugger6944 it’s also completely absurd that you think iran is a military capable of defeating the US. The reason Iraq didn’t have C3 is because the US Air Force and navy completely destroyed that capability before we ever sent ground troops in. The exact same thing would happen to Iran which is also flying 3rd gen aircraft with no stealth capability. They have no navy worth talking about and their army is capable, maybe, against regional powers. If the US were to put boots on the ground it would be no contest. But there’s no reason to launch a ground invasion. We can deal with them using drones, aircraft, missiles and naval power. You sound like you’ve lost your courage. Go find it.

@gumpyoldbugger6944 it dealt with both those countries quite effectively. US lost ~5000 troops over the course of twenty years and defeated iraqs army within a few weeks and deposed the taliban for twenty years as well as killing bin Laden. Facts don’t care about your feelings, kid. 😂

@GürteltierPanzer we do not have a problem with money where are you getting that idea 😂😂😂😂😂

@chillxxx241 Israel is our most important ally in the Middle East

@Oscarcat2212 china is almost as overhyped as ruzzia. Unproven in combat, not a single aircraft that can touch us, one aircraft carrier.

@danielbirchfield8552 no boots on the ground are needed

@syncopatedfeb4770 the stark was an Iraqi incident and the Roberts led to praying mantis.

@symphorosayee3118 I think you have literally no idea what you’re talking about

@evobsm2328 you’re both completely coping 😂😂😂😂😂😂

@RonsmooveTI we don’t own Taiwan and no one has invaded them so wtf are you talking about 😂😂😂😂

@evobsm2328 the US did not lose in Afghanistan. Where are you getting that idea? Because we left? We deposed the taliban who fucked off to Pakistan for twenty years and killed Osama bin laden which was the mission. We were asked to help rebuild the country which we tried to do but Afghanistan was clearly not ready for that.

@evobsm2328 russia is achieving losing most of their vehicles and an entire generation of young men and everyone knows they’re second rate even compared to Ukraine which is four times smaller 😂😂😂😂😂😂

@gumpyoldbugger6944 yeah none of that is true. Iran is not even close to a peer.

@gumpyoldbugger6944 Vietnam was not a military loss but a political decision to withdraw just like Afghanistan. We achieved our mission in Afghanistan after we killed bin Laden . The mistake was trying to turn Afghanistan into a modern country with a modern military and not understanding how deeply embedded corruption is in that country. The most important thing is we kept war away from our shores and let those poor dumb bastards die for their country. You, like several of these Iran fanboys, are mistaking political decisions for military defeats.

Yes

@andrewwotherspoona5722 that has never happened

@noah766 we probably would not do that just because we were burned so hard by it last time. We’d probably mostly use our over the horizon capabilities rather than put boots on the ground.

@Tech_Eagle_69 because you don’t know what you’re talking about
