Pener Kropoopkin posted:It's going to end up reshaping the entire world. The world-historical significance of Oct. 7th isn't just the revolution in Arab affairs, it pre-empts the possibility of fortress politics. The idea that the First World can somehow isolate itself within the walled garden and kill everything that approaches is totally dead now. There is no perfectly effective system of security that can indefinitely keep the "savages" out, no matter how capital intensive and cybernetic the system is it will have points of failure that can be defeated given enough time to present themselves. A seemingly unassailable power imbalance breeds complacency. If the "First World" wants to survive it will have to negotiate with the wretched masses of humanity. Whether they're willing to negotiate or not is tough titties, the theory of asymmetrical resistance is already proven.

If the US had a draft, I don’t know what even they would do with them, the US MIC isn’t designed for mobilized warfare. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

A substitute teacher of mine in junior high told us during class that during vietnam he was an NCO and used to beat guys who tried to be consciencious objectors with 2x4s. He said this unprompted, there was nothing going on that connected to it in any way. Anyway, I figure the plan would be something like that. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Pener Kropoopkin posted:the US military has never been this vulnerable or operationally limited since the Korean War. I think it's far weaker now than after the Korean war. At that time you still had plenty of knowledgeable professionals in the military and the US had a stable industrial base that was the greatest in the world. The military today can't keep trained people in important areas, can't recruit, is riddled with mic corruption, and the country absolutely cannot support a draft so this is all they get. Someone posted an article in the ww3 thread about how the supply and manufacturing situation is even worse than it seems and it's going to take years to even understand the scale of the problem. The five years to replace everything sent to Ukraine is likely deliriously optimistic. US economic soft power has also been shown to have more limits than expected. The US is entirely a paper tiger. We can bomb weddings and make life miserable for lots of people while still being unable to do anything significant militarily. The carriers being in the med is a huge risk for exposing the weakness if the bluff is called.

Sanlav posted:He condemned a lot of lives who had no say in the matter in the short term as collateral damage, and the Arab world was still too fractured to capitalize. Maybe the financial damage it wrought on the US empire sum total will get America out of the middle east. Maybe it was the easter rising and all the people executed didn't die in vain. But as it stands, he brought the hammer down on the region, millions more died and things are worse than ever in Palestine currently. 1916 was a turning point for Ireland that they can celebrate, but there were 300 years where generation after generation of male leadership was executed every 30 or so when they failed. I can't bring myself to condone his methods but America loving around in the middle east for 20 years has allowed China to materially surpass it. Doesn't look good for continued hegemony.

It's funny how much our victory in Iraq is overestimated because like WW2 we had someone doing most of the fighting for us: Iran. The scale of the Iran Iraq war was huge and before any deserts were stormed Iraq had been devastated. It's completely absurd to crow about a victory over Iraq later after ten years of sanctions had reduced it to ashes. I think basically the only war of any note America has won on its own is the Spanish American war. Truly a proud military legacy. tbf, America has previously and continues to kick rear end in the absolute middle of the Pacific. Nimitz is totally underrated. If some country wanted to meet us way out in the ocean hundreds of miles from any land resources America would crush them. Somehow I don't think Iran, NK, Russia, etc are going to be as accommodating as the Japanese on that point though.
