not if it is an attack on the homeland soil. china and russia could completely take over in 6 monthssrothstein wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 6:14 pmHistorically, we have always had that happen for the first six months or so. It takes us that long to gear up and build the supplies we need plus train the new recruits. The question now is if we still have the capability to change over to the war time footing within that six month window. I think the American people CAN do it (as seen by the response to the 9-11 attacks), and I have strong doubts about our current administration having the willpower TO do it.The Annoyed Man wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 3:52 pm I’ve said it before,and I’ll say it again… It is highly likely that if we get into a war with a near-peer opponent in the not too distant future, we’re going to have our butts handed to us.
As with Viet Nam, if we lose it will not be the military that lost, but the politicians and the will of the people to fight.
congress would capitulate, brandon would be removed or surrender.
9/11 taught us or them that a few planes on a few targets really shut us down hard. not to be little what happened but it was only a handful of targets.
i fear people now days would stand around looking at each other, then looting, and finally realize the dust bunny just hit the fan as it were
if its off soil, sure we could ramp up..but i suspect the next attack will be hackers, to completely disrupt our normal day to day via electric grid, banking, etc, then a full occupying attack from all four sides , dc , va , gulf coast and ca 1st wave. brandon would fail to take action or fail to acknowledge the threat, and we would be in the soup before we knew it. it would fall back on us to protect ourselves and community. pure chaos for a bit
