This is the most incompetent, incoherent war America has fought in the last 100 years. And that’s saying a lot. This administration has no idea what they are doing. There is no viable war plan. They change their goals and their aims every single day.
I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders. They are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so, it’s no surprise that this war is going horribly.
This. I just never understood people that piss on wind and solar and EVs and just generally reevaluating our energy uses pretend to be “patriots” by simping for Big Oil.
If we can become truly energy independent, we don’t have to be embroiled in all this stuff. Sure, Israel will still be a problem for entirely different reasons, but we have all these weird dynamics with monstrous leaders, and all because of the oil.
America wants to be embroiled in all this stuff. When you’re a unipolar hegimon, it’s very hard to let go.
China creating a larger gap in renewables and robotics will ultimately be what relegates the US to the number two position and from there it’s not going to be pretty.
