[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump was originally slated to go, Vance was unable for “security reasons”. Then suddenly they send Vance. I think they know it’s hopeless and trump doesn’t care about Vance’s future. He wants him to take the blame. [/quote]

Trump and the Iranian delegation together is a bad idea.  They both are full of hubris, like to make threats, play act for the cameras and always have maximalist demands.[/quote]

If you have been truly following what has been happening for the pat 40 days and not just  talking out of your @$$, you would realize the Iranian delegation is smarter and more strategic than us even with, "the cards they have been dealt with," to paraphrase our urbane President.

The US military has been defeated. It performed worse than Russia. In fact if we had gone head to head with Ukraine, Ukraine would have won the war.

The sad part is that we cannot even quickly pivot. Our entire economic system is built to support large weapons manufacturers which are usless now in comparison to cheap drones. The mythology of our empire is built on saavy, handsome fighter pilots and those large weapons can no longer be updated because of the freeze on essential minerals and parts from China.

We are doomed. [/quote]

American defense companies in shambles. Buying non-US weapon systems is going to be politically popular everywhere after a year of Trump. Can't imagine shareholders at Lockheed, Northrop, Boeing, and General Dynamics are thrilled with what Republicans are doing.  [/quote]

Our weapon systems do not work.[/quote]

Time to upgrade.
There is no shortage of money for weapons.[/quote]

As the war in Ukraine has demonstrated, it's all about drones today. About a 1000 men die every day in that war, and roughly 80 percent are due to drones. Which are very cheap. If Trump/Hegseth/Rubio/Vance had two brain cells and listened to experts, they'd know modern war has changed. But alas, we elected idiots.[/quote]
