We can't compete in globalization, WITH THIS. __^^^^^^^^^^^^
If the plan is to end globalization, well that's not a solution, we literally produce nothing of daily use, from coat-hangers to laptops.
THE IDEA WAS, well, we need bodies for the meat grindr, so at the very worst, we'll have people we can send into that.
MILITARY industrial money money money.
Ok, TURNS OUT, they were right about having PEOPLE to put into it, they were WRONG about what constitutes A MILITARY in the 2020s.
Now, those meat bags are useless. The INDUSTRIAL-Base is the only thing that matters, can you churn out Massive long-range-stand-off munitions, ON TIME, AT LOW COST, OF Sufficient-Quality.
The answer is no, we can't do that, we don't have everything at the front of that chain.
F35 = trash tier in modern war, they're nearly useless. The program posts a fantastic 25% readiness.
If you buy 4 planes, only 1 works at any one time. That's how **** tier it is. Which is why they still mostly roll the F16s
Soldiers = trash tier in modern war, they're nearly useless. Dronz blow them up.
So, we're in a situation, where our MOST expensive, and, LEAST expensive military expense are BOTH USELSS> !!
So if it's all down to the dronz, and you have NO MANUFACTURING BASE, what is the outcome.
Financialization is our downfall. Making money Out-Of Money, because CapEX is HARD. Apparently Too-Hard.
