As Predictable As Day Following Night

Quote:US 'could lose a war against China or Russia' 

Quote:The United States could lose in a war against either China or Russia, defence officials have warned.

A report commissioned by Congress, and compiled by a dozen former top Democratic and Republican officials, suggested the US was facing a "military crisis" and would struggle to conduct more than one war at a time.

Uh-huh?  And pray tell, what is the solution.


Quote:The Pentagon's annual budget of more than $700 billion is far more than Russia and China combined, but it was still "clearly insufficient," the report warned.


Yeah... and....


Quote:The commission recommended an annual increase of three to five per cent in the defence budget. A Pentagon spokesman said: "It's a stark reminder of the gravity of these issues and a call to action."

Right.  No matter how much money we have it is never enough.  Give us more!

Fuck off.

This is like getting a million dollar collision policy on a 15 year old clunker.  It just isn't worth it.
