The pivot to the Pacific & America first is a pathetic lie. We're expending/donating high need/low density weaponry in defense of others that we don't stand a chance against China

150 THAAD Ballistic Missile Interceptors Fired By U.S. During Iran’s Barrages On Israel: Report

Roughly 25% of all U.S. THAAD interceptors funded to date were reportedly launched in June, and SM-3s were also expended at a worrisome rate.

If the US were fully focused on defeating China then we could PROBABLY pull it off. These distractions and weird entanglements that we keep getting pulled into? I have to believe that is part of the plan to weaken our defenses. Ukraine? The EU should be all over the defense of that nation and supplying them with everything and anything they need. If we believe the talking points then they must "defeat Russia there so they don't get to the EU". 

Israel? Good God that nation's leadership irritates the FUCK outta me. Netanyahu has no off switch. He's had numerous points where he could have taken the time to stop the fighting and rebuild his economy AND his military but its like he's out hunting for fights.

The Trump admin?  Trump's instincts are spot on but he continues to yield to the hawks in his cabinet and in Congress.

If China is the true threat then we need to get laser focused on getting ready for that fight.

If they're not then stop singing that song and reorient to doing the shit we're doing now.

Either way we need a pause to replenish our warstocks.
