We don’t need more weapons. We also don’t have real adversaries, that’s war propaganda.

You have to be completely insane to think China is not an adversary.

Personally, I think we are in WW3 right now and we have already lost.

Americans are just too lazy and insular to read anything involving Chinese military strategy. I can't think of more basic Chinese military strategy than to avoid a head-on battle with a strong enemy.

You beat the strong enemy by every means other than a head-on battle.

We are waiting for another battle of Normandy that will never come as we slowly bleed out.

Out of curiosity, I'd love if you'd expand a bit on this comment.

Not meant sarcastically, and not because I want to refute anything, I'm genuinely curious what these tactics have been and why the US has already lost.
