That's simply not true. We had a snap count (under SIOP) in which doctrine stated that if RUS fueled their (liquid fueled) nukes we would launch. They have enough solid fueled nukes that it's no longer an option. THAAD and other BMD-systems can only counter a small % of deliverable nukes. THAAD is also a detection station, but it's ofc classified as to its capability. So what will it matter if two of six nukes don't reach Manhattan?
That video is the most ridiculous piece of fluff marketing the defense industry spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on to convince government and military establishment of the necessity to spend billions of dollars on them. The US will spend $120B per submarine to be completed in 2031... Just that is depressingly laughable when we know how quickly China can build their military arsenal for 1/3 the price with probably similar levels of tech sophistication. At the same time, Trump mixes trade deficit and budget deficit to an uneducated population that is told tariffs will reduce "our" deficit while budgeting $1T for defense. So one hand says "we're going to reduce the (trade) deficit", the other hand is increasing the (budget) deficit by signing off on the highest defense budget ever. A sham
Long time ago a certain country to the South pulled a default on debt. It would be much wiser to to take this course than go to arms. It is only money (Nonphysical asset), no one trust America any ways. Take path of least resistance it is alot cheaper. Akuma, It is just fiat anyways $€£¥
Absolutely disinformation!!!!!! Why China buys US Treasuries: US Imports from China → China gets US Dollars for imports → China buys treasuries (puts earnings in a savings account) The Impact of Zero US Imports from China: Zero US Imports from China → Zero US Dollars earned by China → Zero Chinese purchase of US Treasuries True = China funds the commie red army through exports. ___ US government ≠ US household
