🇺🇸 The 20th century already offers examples of how the pursuit of a “quick peace” turned into the legitimization of aggression.

When you say Russia could attack NATO countries within the next 5 years, you've lost all credibility.

The article is missing the point, NATO countries doctrines are not meant to fight a war as Ukraine. And most classified JSTAR capabilities won't be released so the public can decide whether we should get rid of all AWACS and embrace fiber optics "reconnaissance".

The Reconnaissance Reality Gap: Western Doctrine vs. the Ukrainian Battlefield
Reconnaissance must be reconceptualized to meet the demands of battle spaces shaped by drones, AI-enabled sensing, and electronic warfare.

AI, the so-called "multi-billion dollar industry", the reason Nvidia begged Trump to sell H200 to PRC is because they know there won't be any products created by AI that actually generate revenue. Almost like they are worried that the spending on data center is slowing down.

In a private Signal group, I stated that Maduro's regime will be targeted, my estimate was off by 10 months, most likely due to Houthis; still, these "operations" are far from coups that would replace authoritarian regimes, unless the US is willing to deal with a military dictatorship.

US and some NATO countries foreign policy boils down to fear-induced strategic abdication. While Russian nuclear strategic capability is in a very bad shape, due to lack of training, modernization, talent exodus, corruption.

ROCAF's F-16V used AAQ-33 to track J-16, the image below isn't a fire control system lock. One could possibly derive from this that the PLAN J-15 might not have similar advanced tracking optics; also, documented risky dangerous flying maneuvers suggest locking is used as a "warning".

If I tell you that a country's national security strategy is to pay soldiers more to keep the numbers floating on paper, and outsourcing defense to someone who's colluding with Russia, you'd probably think it's a joke, no, it's not, it's Canada.

The counter offensive that was hyped up months ahead, driving tanks into minefield without artillery superiority or dominating the EM domain, keeping their best units for photo ops and not rotating the "nobody" units. I can go on and on.
It leads directly in why the 2023 counteroffensive was doomed from the start. The idea that you could execute airland battle without the air part was level of arrogance and delusion that American military and national security officials seemed to not have reconciled with yet
