The US spends 4x what China does on the military and has a much smaller population. If we can't find enough bullets for all of them, that means that they probably can't even feed their own, much less fully equip.



There was someone posting a while back who said that the parade soldiers and weapons aren't even functional or trained - they do nothing but train for parades and the actual military gets like 5 bullets a year for target practice.

The US would win the ground war, the world economy would be hosed, and the ensuing insurgency would force us to withdraw 4 or 5 years later.

The US is very good at conventional warfare. We loving suck at building countries.




EDIT: Of course, none of this would ever happen because China gots nukes, and the US Gov't and the PRC are super in love economically.

But you never used to be so bad at it. It used to be that when you razed someone's poo poo you made a massive effort to build it up again and everything turned out fine.

I think you are misunderstanding the motive of our political and military institutions. It's continual failure to rebuild other bombed out nations is at least partially because that isn't the motive. Typically the motive of a colonial war is to extract wealth, not deposit it. Further, this tendency is exacerbated by an emphasis on strip mining resources as opposed to investing in them for future returns. What good is a functioning economy in the Middle East to America's oligarchy anyway? There may be a broad benefit, but not one that is sufficiently relevant to the elite.

Went to the anti-shell protest/action in Portland today:















The climbers are hanging off the St John's Bridge in order to stop a Shell icebreaker ship that stopped off in the Port of Portland for repairs on its way to support oil drillers in the arctic. The boat came out this morning, approached the bridge, and promptly turned around - most likely just to demonstrate obstruction so that they could get a court order for removal of the protestors.

With Shell in the arctic, all it takes is a day or two to make a huge difference:

quote:

But the company wanted to make off-season upgrades to the Kulluk that would be either impossible or too expensive in Dutch Harbor. And there was another consideration: If the Kulluk was in an Alaskan port on New Year’s Day, executives believed, it would be subject to a state oil-facilities tax of as much as $6 million. In late December, a spokesman confirmed Shell’s fears in an email to a longtime reporter at a local newspaper, The Dutch Harbor Fisherman, writing, “It’s fair to say the current tax structure related to vessels of this type influenced the timing of our departure.” (“That was an unfortunate article,” Pete Slaiby, the Alaska vice president for Shell, told a crowd in Kodiak in early January, reiterating the need for “very specific things” it needed done on the mainland.)

Yeah, Shell has been a shitshow up here, they think that their North Sea experience will translate to the Chukchi Sea and it won't. To be fair though no one else really has the experience either, except maybe Gazprom.

A Jew stabs someone at a gay pride parade:

It baffles me that Americans can still support Israel when even Iran is far more progressive socially than Israel. Did you know they (Iran) provide state-funded sex changes for gay men?
