Our allies are shit though. The Brits have poor logistics but will fight when Americans transport them to battle. As for the rest of our allies many were in rear areas during the entire War on Terror. Many of our "allies" are underfunded and many of their citizens view military service as a last resort rather than an honor. Also, many of our "allies" and their citizens are ignorant of the poor shape their armed forces are in and there is no shortage of anti-American government funded media in these countries telling their citizens that under 2% of GDP military funding is perfectly acceptable.

@tezzo55 Russia invaded a sovereign country and it will not use a nuke. Russia has two choices, 1. Leave Ukraine or 2. Be economically isolated and destroyed leaving it poor and most likely in civil war/coup attempt. This is Russia's future. These are the facts.

@gigacanno750 Australia is building it's military up but is incapable of projecting forces overseas. During the entire War on Terror and Libya allied countries piggy backed off American logistic capabilities.

@westernorthodox The military of WW2 were short malnourished conscripts. My Gen X generation during the wars routinely carried more gear and participated in war longer than any other generation in American history. In WW2 thousands of men would surrender, surrender is unthinkable in my generation and looking at a mass surrender like in the Philippines during 1942 is absolutely incompetent and unthinkable for Gen X veterans. Look at Vietnam, another joke of a military full of conscripts marking the calendar to go home to do drugs, completly disgusting behavior. Today's military is far more formidable and deadly as we saw in Syria where Americans killed over 200 Russians in a few hours when up against tanks and higher numbers of troops.

@MikeBronson515 They are not highly capable. I was in the USAF for 10 years and our allies were living off of our logistical capability. Look at Libya, the Europeans begged us to lead air strikes in Libya because they were unable. My cousin on a 9 month deployment had to turn around and miss the birth of his daughter so his carrier could lead strikes for our incompetent and under funded allies that have anti-American government media trashing Americans at every turn. Americans don't care about Libya but Obama was lobbied by Euro "allies" to conduct strikes.

@xrunner55 Yep! My cousin's carrier was tasked to turn around and carry out airstrikes for useless NATO members.

I was in the USAF from 1999-2009. Our military will kick the dog shit out of Russia or China. The biggest threat to the military is Democrats with their spending cuts and social experiments like woke propaganda garbage across the armed services.

@tezzo55 All bullshit. The Russians are all bark and their military is setup to kill old people and rape fleeing women. Once the Russians fight a force willing to fight back they flee.

@j4pp1n3 This is correct unfortunately many of these citizens in allied nations are anti-American and too ignorant to realize their nation's lack capability.

@tezzo55 What stopped them for 70 years? The nuclear triad is still in place. Let me spell this out to all of America's enemies and ignorant civilians alike. If a nuclear attack is launched against the United States the United States's policy is a full blown strike against all of our enemies at the same time. For example if Russia launches we will also nuke Cuba, Iran, China, N Korea and any other enemy nation. The United States will not leave an enemy standing if it is engaged in a nuclear strike. Foreigners always underestimate the United States out of ignorance but time and time again we see no quit in our military. Don't be confused by our weak presidents, if we didn't have such sissy presidents an enemy is completely screwed. Take for example the Mexican Cartel. The American military unimpeded by a president would hunt these people down and their families and stop the flow of drugs inside of weeks with or without permission from the foreign government it was operating in.

@Withnail1969 I have been saying this for years. Their military is willing to fight but their government isn't willing to fund them.

c h The US Navy can shut down all Chinese imports tomorrow. China is fully aware of our capability hence it's desperately trying to build airfields in the Pacific.

@tezzo55 It's reality and American policy. My suggestion is to not launch a nuke at the United States or its allies.
