I have never been so bullish on the United States of America.




US sending nearly all JASSM-ER cruise missiles to CENTCOM, leaving "only about 425 JASSM-ER out of a prewar inventory of 2,300" for other contingencies. When does the US lose conventional deterrence against China? We're edging dangerously close. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@shortmagsmle @Cernovich This is also the reason why the US folds after suffering just a few casualties. Every tinpot dictator knows this. They win every time.

The "leave no man behind" doctrine is actually a strategic weakness disguised as a virtue. Name one other military on earth that destroys 6 aircraft and fights a ground battle inside a sovereign nation to recover one pilot. You can't. Because no other military confuses tactical sentimentality with strategic logic. Soldiers serve the mission. The mission doesn't serve the soldier. The US has now established that Iran can shoot down an F-15, then watch America spend $300M and expose Delta Force trying to prove it didn't happen. That's not military doctrine. That's politics with weapons. A military that cannot accept the risk of loss cannot win wars. The US hasn't won one since 1945.
