| #10 The extreme logistics alone make a long term defense (6+ months) For the memory leaked: The setup for Kuwait (Desert Shield) was 6mos. Repelling Iraq (Desert Storm) was 6 weeks of airstrikes and one week of ground advance. All from the 'safe' haven of Saudi Arabia. I don't see it happening with a coalition of Philippines, Japan, Vietnam and South Korea. |

| #7 After this guy squandered his credibility in Afghanistan and several times even before then, these words from him about Taiwan are not comforting. |

| #5 Ability and Will are entirely different things... Afghanistan, S. Vietnam and examples of 'ability' without 'will'. |

| #1 Remember to Defend does not mean Win. The extreme logistics alone make a long term defense (6+ months) or a limited Ground war impossible to win. Besides I don't care who is in the White House. What idiot is dumb enough to go to war already $20++ Trillion in debt? Plus with country that's military is close to 3x's it size. A country that makes most of what we buy and is the sole source, or the largest producer of most USA medications and medical supplies. ??????????? |
