I’m not sure about the troop readiness these days, but afaik, USA is currently very close to its military capacity.
For everything it’s doing by having a quarter of 1 million troop stationed around the world and having between 3 and 5 Aircraft carrier groups floating around the world if they fully commit to an armed conflict with Venezuela they are basically spent.
That’s the moment any army can decide to do whatever the fuck they want and the USA can really basically only bark and look on. (Technically they could of course fight, but that would mean they sacrifice actual defence of homeland). So that would mean that China could take Taiwan, Russia could really take Ukraine or even poke further into Europe. Not to mention the Middle East would basically be without a guard dog.
If this happens this most likely would be the final nail in the coffin of the US Empire and almost analogous with how the Roman empire crumbled. (And of course the ultimate payoff for Vladdy to have helped Donnie get in the White House).
I don’t think there’s a whole lot of risk that the USA will try to take Canada or Greenland because of this.
There are people who are saying that we are at the same point as we were in Germany In the 1930s. I would argue this is much closer to Hitler having just taken all of Europe and now deciding to also go and take on The Russians.
Also don’t forget that Trump is truly one of the dumbest strategists we’ve ever had. The only success he’s having is because he has a very well oiled machine but even a well oiled machine has absolute nonnegotiable thresholds which Donald and Drunk Pete will probably try to ignore by renaming a department from defence to war and by hoping that will work.
Curious what others think about this situation?
E: spelling
This entire post is your delusional fantsazing about the USA downfall because of if your dislike of Trump. You do not understand how any of this works. Nobody is going to invade canada or greenland dude, that's all bluster. The venezeula stuff has been going on for decades, well before Trump and the USA invavaded panama in 1989 on the same premise as the Maduro removal.
The USA military logistics capacity is utterly insane and they are only getting better at it as the years go by. The doctrine shifts for future Pacific conflicts make what went on for over a decade in Iraq/Afghanistan look like child's play. USA Air force is practicing the ability to basically throw up overnight airfields on remote islands and creating a distribution network of launch points across the southern pacific and Indian oceans.
I don’t need to fantasise about the USA downfall, it is happening right in front of our eyes. Any country who deports its own citizens without due process based on skin colour is what Trump would call a shithole country.
It’s not that I dislike Trump, it’s that he is a pedophile, a convicted criminal and utterly incompetent. He got a weekend Fox host and chronic drunk to run the Pentagon. Who typed his warplans on Signal to a journalist. Last term he was surrounded by somewhat competent. This time they are all as or more incompetent than him.
The logistic capacity of the USA military is really good indeed, but what is that worth when the entire brains of the organisation was replaced by sycophants for the (Russian owned) president?
They don’t follow the constitution anymore. I think they are loyal to the president.
