Why is America trying to provoke an armed conflict with Russia and China when according to Col. Douglas MacGregor (ret.) of Battle of 73 Easting fame 1st Gulf War, said that only 30% of Americans between the ages of 18-24 are qualified to serve in the US military? Who's going to man all those fancy weapons they have? It seems that the lack of quality manpower has severely affected the quality of their hardwares in terms of maintenance etc...
The US forget that this would make China the true hegemon who can settle a crisis between US and Russia. This is contrary to what US has been trying to prevent from happening. Of course, US leadership never look beyond their shadow.
I also want to ask the Biden administration to influence Taiwan to surrender, Australia to change course etc. Then they will see how moronic they are.
US is provoking armed conflicts between the neighbours of China and Russia with China and Russia. US will never step in, never after Iraq and Afghanistan.
I'm literally from the place directly above Mongolia. The local infrastructure there absolutely cannot support a full-scale invasion - it is an extremely sparsely populated area with a crap climate. There are only two main railroads there (Transsib and BAM) - Transsib has exactly two branches (through Ulan-Ude and Ulan-Baatar, another one is through Chita) that can lead to China, BAM has one (Vladivostok). Destroying those is not an exactly hard task, not to mention that the average speeds on those rails are 40-50 km/h. Mongolia is even "better", it has exactly one railroad - yeah, the one from Ulan-Ude through Ulan-Baatar to Beijing.
That's not even mentioning paved roads - they are extremely scarce in Mongolia and they degrade quickly in Siberia\Far East due to large temperature gradients. Going through dirt roads or "wilderness" is going to reduce the average speeds of supply convoys to laughable levels, draining a lot of resources to simply protect them.
Siberia, land so shitty and inhospitable, even the Mongols didn't want, and they wanted the entire world.
This video analysis by The Greyzone with Douglas McGregor as the guest who worked for Donald Trump made some convincing argument that made me pause about my views on the former President's foreing policy plans and domestic plans that were largely ( and as always regardless of party ) captured by vested special interests within his administration that was opposed to what he actually wanted. Coupled with Donald Trump's naivete and nostalgic image of the U.S. military and the general officers (by product of defense media industry complex) not to mention the literal army of lobbyists working within and without his administration.
And I largely agree with what Col.Mcgregor said that it's better for a leader to be feared than to be liked if you want something/anything done. Trump wanted to be liked so badly that he ended up not being liked from the institutions and people whom he coveted most: MEDIA Elites. Which brings me to a more depressing point, the U.S. plutocrats are indeed sleepwalking the country into the abyss, into a war that it is Destined to FAIL. Unless that country allows itself to be reformed in the most radical way then I frankly don't see the U.S. coming out victorious in their quest to maintain being the world's only hegemon. So long that Chinese leadership don't become arrogant, short-sighted like America, China will be able to ride this difficult and challenging contest with America. I hope China does not get baited into war by these warmongering Americans because that's what they're wishing badly for China to do. Let's not give in to that bait no matter how tempting unless the recline and core national issues are compromised.

It doesn't matter how slow it moves as they will anyways consolidate their gains atleast sometime and build their hold in the far east..
Khabarovsk, Vladivostok, YakutskSakha, Komsomolsk-on-Amur, and Blagoveshchensk etc etc.. There is enough infrastructure in the russian far east and has 6.3-million population while logistical is perfect they can keep rolling in from Alaska and Europe which will become stragetic depth for them while consolidating in the russian far east logistically that way but however ''everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face'' Tyson - meaning if a plan collides with another plan they unraval each other and someone has to adapt on the fly..
I am confident if Russia is rolled over china will rush in to block half of the russian far east which is the eastern part in order to not allow the Americans and western europe forces to connect hence blocking that alaska-russia area including connecting with japan and south korea China will prevent it by blocking parts of the russian far esst which will force them to go thru Kazakhstan

Rampant morbid obesity, drug addiction and criminal records severely reduce the pool of potential recruits. You also need a minimum IQ of 83 to join US military, which rules out rather more potential recruits than you'd think.
Well the U.S. Army to best of my knowledge and at least according to what even Gen.Clark (NATO SACEUR) said echoing what McGregor has mentioned that they have even lowered the qualifications so that they can hit their target recruitment record of at least 62,000..which means qualitatively the U.S. military as a whole is not getting the best of her people but some of the worst. And to think that they're going to be match against a very determined and well trained military that is either Russia or China? I don't mean to be dismissive but the US don't stand a lick of chance of winning period.
Arrogance is indeed a terminal disease that has unfortunately afflicted so many Americans from the top leadership down to every red blooded American.
