Jeff,

You are saying the Russians and Ukrainians can not cross enemy lines, but to what purpose? To destroy the cities. So heavy bombers are needed. The US has huge oceans in between. The aircraft carriers, even at a distance, matter. The Houthis have done nothing to the US aircraft carriers. We are able to defend them. As for the Russians, that is a much lower bar than we imagined.

The US, UK, and Au submarines around Taiwan and elsewhere can move off further. China will send ships into deeper water to defend against their offensive positions against Taiwan. Our longer-range weapons can take out troop carriers in the straits.

We are hardly helpless.

Portrayed as helpless, let's spend more money. I agree, let's. Just do not let the propaganda be facts between all of us as friends. The public is getting a good song and dance. Nonsense as it is and always is.

You can not say we overfund the military without the worst of repercussions.
