@badrequest5596 Also, reminder that Normandy was the result of a protracted counter-intelligence effort to convince the Nazis that we would land somewhere completely different. Which actually worked. Normandy was the "weakly defended" coast line. Nukes were considered preferable, and more humane, towards both Japan and the US than a conventional invasion.

@mainakgayen2241 The PMCs should, on paper, be superior to the Russian state military, as they are to most state militaries. Even the VDV has had failures in the Ukraine war.

@mainakgayen2241 PMCs should be better trained, perhaps not better equipped, than state militaries. The reason being is that most of its employees should be veterans to be qualified to begin with, and should be worth the increased cost.

@mainakgayen2241 From my personal observation, state militaries are rarely held accountable. The CEO of Wagner being offed by Putin was a lot more accountability than I've ever seen from any of the innumerable FUBARs caused by US top brass. More frequently, brass is shifted around purely for political reasons, because they support or don't support a certain candidate for head of state. The fact that their budget is less limited than that of the PMC disincentivizes accountability, because it's "free money" from their perspective. PMCs have to hold themselves accountable or else their business will fold. Morale is kind of irrelevant because it depends entirely on the state's ability to motivate, by picking a time and a place for war, casus belli, and their ability to craft propaganda. It could be better or worse than that of a PMC professional.

@Adonnus100 Lmfao dude, you and everyone that upboated you have terminal TDS. Being tough on China, which was Trump's primary foreign policy platform, necessarily means assisting Taiwan. Abandoning Taiwan is not viable for any president no matter how stupid they are. If we let China get Taiwan, they will have access to unique factories producing superconductor tech and they will control a huge amount of the world's microchip production.

@TheDancerMacabre That's not "corruption" strictly speaking. It's just giving grey market incentives for someone to do their job faster. When you have something like a defense contractor bribing officers to approve purchases for their shittier, cheaply made equipment, that's a real problem.

No offense, but "comical levels of corruption" kinda describes most of China's history of governance.
