Let me take a hack at it for you (and @Yardstick and @robav8r ). I'm not particularly concerned if actual military operations occur, the damage is done. Listen to the language Carney recently used in his remarks. He's no longer speaking of possibilities but of present tense "ruptures."

On the most recent episode of The Dispatch Podcast, the host Steve Hayes (a traditional, serious, and principled conservative), tells of how last week he was interviewed by Danish Public Television. Paraphrasing, he recounts how the interviewer conceded that Europeans often disagreed or didn't understand American foreign policy, but never doubted we were the "good guys." The interviewer closed by asking Steve, "are you still the good guys." That's not easy question to answer right now; to suggest otherwise points to a fairly myopic view of the world

I didn't understand and hated calculus because I rarely showed up for class and didn't do the homework. Allies matter, partnerships matter, and this admin has memefied all of it because they hate what they dont understand.

Some of you are tying yourselves in rhetorical knots to call a square a circle, or say up is down. But if we call it what it is, at best you're quietly aceeding to, and at worst actively cheering the demise of some pretty serious stuff.

Wasted breath on the pro-Trump crowd, unfortunately. They not only don’t want to understand, they actively hate existing alliances and institutions, because they’ve been told to.

But at least when standards of living fall, and medieval diseases like polio come back they’ll see the error of their ways… oh no wait- *checks notes*- they’ll blame immigrants, poor people, and “lefties”.

Sad times.

No you engaged in the hypothetical that 2x Infantry battalions form 11th Airborne we’re going to somehow be the harbinger of a move against a NATO partner.

Please explain to the room how you came to that conclusion because that isnt MDCOA, that’s MRCOA analysis.

Not some penis measuring of which service has spent more time deployed in the suck.

So we should just all blind ourselves to Cheeto jesus’ policy decisions (and tacit implication by not ruling out the use of force) and the impact the information environment. Nothing to see here…

You wanked at everyone about deploying to Europe and the impact on retention (something we’ve had a constant forward presence in for over 70 years). Nobody is dick measuring anything. What did you expect?

I wonder where the US gets it’s rare earth minerals to make stuff?

While the point is made here that Canada provides the USA with rare earth metals, it ONLY shows Canadian sources, so the question of where the US gets rare earth material is not fully answered by the graphic. Just keeping it real.

"The United States sources its rare earth minerals primarily from domestic mining at the Mountain Pass facility in California (operated by MP Materials), which is then largely exported to China for processing. While domestic production has increased, China remains the dominant source for imported, processed rare earth compounds, accounting for roughly 70% of U.S. imports between 2020 and 2023. "
