      It doesn't, when the government opens a bid for a piece of military equipment, the capability requirements of the resulting equipment are extensive and numerous in order to ensure that when they get shipped the minimum viable product it's still mission capable. Overengineering increases up front costs and malfunction rate. The deaths happen when equipment is used outside of its scope or lifespan, including enemy ingenuity. It's very similar actually to how strategists simulate war by giving the enemy every benefit of the doubt while obeying Murphey's law on your own. The military industrial complex is hyper efficient. Stuff that doesn't work doesn't get or stops being produced, and defense contractors still want to win the next in line contract. To botch a contract would be the end of that company

    I think one huge issue that's being overlooked when it comes to defense is our food and water infrastructure. The US should be investing heavily in hydroponics/aquaponics to make food production and distribution more efficient in cost, space, and water usage. Hydroponics systems can even help purify water for drinking. Many people are so worried about the capabality to destroy our enemies that they are overlooking the ability to sustain ourselves in a conflict. If China really can give as good as they get, and we have a prolonged fight...we have a problem...because the average American is not physically fit, educated, and ready to take up new tasks, like manufacturing replacement components and entire new vehicles. Our populace radically shifted production during WW2. They grew a lot of their own food because farmers went to fight. Could we do that now?

  • @user-lq3kl5oi9d
    @user-lq3kl5oi9d Před rokem +44

    Here’s the big picture:
    Former US top strategist Zbignew Brzezinski said: “It is IMPERATIVE that no Eurasian challenger emerges capable of dominating Eurasia and thus also challenging America”. Because the US has just 4% of world’s population, and it’s isolated from Eurasia which has 70% of world’s population, or 87% with Africa included. Defensively, it’s a benefit to the US, but economically, it’s a handicap. That’s why, Eurasia is a competitor to the US and the Euro is a threat to the dollar.
    How the US with an isolated 4% of world’s population stays a world hegemon? The dollar must stay as the world’s reserve currency. This allows the size of the US economy to be highly scaled up, instead of being limited by the fundamentals.
    To be the world’s reserve currency, the dollar must circulate in the world. The US created a huge consumption economy and moved manufacturing outside, so that dollars flow out of the US to manufacturers like China or Japan. To make products, China and Japan need energy. So dollar is then circulated to Saudi mandated by the Petrol-dollar scheme. With the US stock and financial market much more lucrative than others, the dollars from Saudi are attracted back to the US. Money printed in the US to exchange for goods from outside ends up in Wall Street, where the rich gets richer. And that completes the cycle of circulation of the dollar.
    If China or Japan brings back all the dollars and exchange to their local currencies, it inflates the local currencies, making their exports expensive. So, China and Japan use some of the dollars to buy US debts (Treasury Securities). That’s why the US, a rich country, is in-debt to China which has just 1/5th of the US’ GDP/cap. By holding US debts, China and Japan have to support the dollar.
    Since the US’ debt is in its own currency, it can simply print more dollar to pay interests. Other countries have to earn dollars to pay their debts, failing which results in defaults.

    In 2011 Obama announced “Pivot to Asia” to stop China’s rise. In 2013 China responded with the Belt and Road Initiatives (BRI) and diverted some US debts into BRI projects, to avoid keeping all eggs in one basket. The BRI creates new economies, therefore new trade markets for China.
    If Asia and Africa develop, the share of the US’ economy shrinks, then Euro could replace dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Then the US would no longer be able to print money freely without a hyperinflation like in Venezuela. And the size of the US economy has to fall back to the fundamentals, which is a lot smaller than the inflated economy. That’s why no country in Eurasia is allowed to catch up with the US’ economy. When Japan was catching up fast on the US in late 80s, it’s knocked down to a 3-decade stagnancy by rising Yen (Plaza Accord). And in the last 30 years, the US created wars and color revolutions in the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa to destabilise Afro-Eurasia, and the World Bank & IMF keep them poor.
    As the US prints lots of money, other countries’ dollar reserves shrink. Furthermore, to prevent exports to the US becoming expensive, these countries have to print money too, which devalues the savings of the people and causes inflation. It’s estimated that our savings devalue by 6~9% per year after the abolishment of the gold-backed Bretton Woods system, after which the US prints money based on just the creditability of the dollar.
    Free money allows the US to have a big military, and the big military, in return, protects the dollar.
    For the record, the US had no mercy on threats to the dollar:
    * In 2000 Saddam Hussein said he would sell oil in Euros not Dollars.
    >> Saddam was hanged by the US.
    * In 2009 Gaddafi wanted to make Libya export oil in pan-African Gold Dinars, not in dollar or Euro.
    >> Gaddafi was killed by US & Sarkozy-backed NTC.
    * Iran has been trading oil in currencies other than US dollars since 2011.
    >> Iran was sanctioned by the US.
    * After being sanctioned in 2014, Putin started to trade in non-dollar. By 2019, Putin (1) completely ditched dollars in oil trades, (2) sold almost all US debts, (3) is now the forerunner in de-dollarization.
    >> The US tried to topple Putin by supporting Alexei Navalny, sanctioned Russia, demanded the termination of Nord Stream II, and now the Ukraine war to weaken Russia.
    * China (1) created the BRI, (2) uses non-dollar in oil trades with Iran & Russia, (3) introduced the CIPS, an alternative to the SWIFT system which is weaponized by the US to sanction others, (4) China’s economy and high-tech are catching up fast.
    >> The US started a hybrid war against China: Trade war in 2018. Hong Kong color revolution in 2019. Tech war (Huawei ban, EUV banned from ASML). Got Australia into a trade war with China in 2020. Launched “Uyghur Genocide” & “Forced Labor” propagandas against Xinjiang (XJ), which is the hub of the BRI, to cut off the BRI. Sanctioned goods from XJ to create joblessness and uprising against the gov. After XJ was stabilized by China, the US orchestrated a coup in Jan ‘22 in Kazakhstan, located right next to XJ, to cut off the BRI. In Aug ‘22, Pelosi visited Taiwan to provoke a civil war.
    If a country supports the dollar, it is looted by the US; if a country doesn’t support the dollar, the gov is changed by the US. This is financial slavery.
    The US can’t have direct wars with Russia and China as they are nuclear armed. Proxy wars put the battlefields outside of the US, and also allow the US to disguise as an outsider. In the 1980s, the US supported the Afghan Mujaheddin in a similar proxy war against the USSR and weakened it.
    Russia and China have clear redlines (*Russia: Ukraine a neutral buffer + Ethnic Russian’s safety in Donbas. *China: “One China principle”). The US used its proxies Zelensky and Tsai to push across the redlines to provoke wars, and get its allies to support the wars. As disclosed by Poroshenko in June ‘22, Merkel & Hollande in Dec ‘22, the Minsk agreements in 2014/15 were intended to buy time to arm Ukraine against Russia, not to seek peace. The US occupied Afghanistan for 20 years, but it finally left in Aug ‘21, evidently to prepare for the Ukraine war 6 months later. Shelling in Donbas by Ukrainian forces up 2800% since 16 Feb ‘22 (OSCE data), crossing Putin’s redline 2 (Maidan coup 2014=redline 1). And Pelosi visited Taiwan in Aug ‘22, after which China surrounded Taiwan with battleships.
    The US’ strategy against China-Russia has always been “one at a time” to avoid pushing them together. The move to put Russia forward amidst the on-going hybrid war against China, was due to a major development:
    The Fed has issued 80% of all US dollars in market in just 24 months. There was $4 trillion in circulation at the beginning of 2020. The number reached $20 trillion by Oct ‘21, amounting to a 31 trillions debt. Coupled with a global movement to diversify into non-dollar reserves fuelled by US sanctions & dollar creditability, the US economy and the dollar are in a crisis.
    The US proxy war in Ukraine:
    1.Divided Russia from Europe. As the first NATO Sec-Gen, Hastings Ismay described: “To keep America IN, to keep Russia OUT, to keep Germany DOWN”. NATO also allows the US to station missiles in Europe, keeping the US safe across the Atlantic.

    2.Halted Nord Stream 2, and German firm Energie Baden-Wuerttemberg signed up gas from America Venture Global LNG for 20 years. >the US wrestled from Russia the control of energy to Europe. As George Friedman of US think tank Chicago Council OGA said in 2015:”The US’ primary fear is the combination of German technologies and Russian resources” and he predicted a war in Europe within a decade. And Condoleezza Rice said in 2014:”You (Europe) want to depend more on the North American energy platform, the enormous bounty of oil and gas we’re finding in America, not on pipelines through Ukraine or Russia.”
    3.Helps moving industries back to the US soil by de-industrializing Europe, as indicated by: (i) The US’ sabotage of N.S. pipelines and US gas sold 4x the price, (ii) The US’ proposed sanction on Algeria after Macron visited Algeria for a gas deal in Aug ‘22, (iii) The foiled sabotage on TurkStream pipeline which feeds Russian gas to Europe via Turkey in Oct ‘22, (iv) The US’ Inflation Reduction Act in Aug ‘22 which pulls capitals from Europe.
    Note: The US already bagged TSMC of Taiwan.
    4.Strengthened the dollar by weakening Euro. A strong dollar and the Fed’s timely interest rise, created a giant magnet attracting capitals from all over the world into the US. Only twice in history dollar is above Euro, both after a war in Europe: NATO's bombing of Serbia (2 months after Euro became the currency of EU) and Ukraine.
    5.Created continuity for the Military Industrial Complex after Afghanistan.
    Despite self-damaging, the EU still gives unconditional support to Ukraine. In fact, two European countries (Ukraine and Germany’s N.S.) were attacked in 2022, NATO helped Non-Ally Ukraine, but Ally Germany was ignored. There are 4 other wars going on, for e.g. the Yemen war which killed half mil ppl and starving 16 mil. No one cares, because Saudi is an ally, and the war was lobbied by Raytheon. It’s NEVER about justice. Boris Johnson visited Kiev 3 times, to prevent Zelensky a peace talk w Russia. Leaders in Europe, the Transatlantics (US-aligned elites), are pinning hopes on Ukraine defeating Russia to say job done to Washington. Zelensky is advertised a hero to get public support.
    The US is pushing Europe and Asia into wars. Remember after WW2, Europe and Asia were devastated, but the US emerged from the Great Depression, became the world leader and the dollar became the world’s reserve currency.

    Quantum Computing can help simulate real life war scenarios thus making us more prepared and cautious. It can boost the use of machine learning and mathematical equations impossible to calculate with our current technology.
    Nuclear fusion will be able to power an entire fleet of ships and drones. It can support ships and submarines for longer durations and can be used to power up innovative weapons such as lasers.

If anything I've just said doesn't come to fruition (which it will), the opposition will find all of their connections to the outside world physically severed. It's far easier to cut a data cable than it is to detonate a bomb attached to a natural gas pipeline.

If anything history shows that the American workers have had to be dragged by the ruling class into every war. The bosses had to start Red Scare's before entering World War One and Two. Massive anti Vietnam war protests took place among the young who were asked to fight and die in Vietnam without even the right to vote. Since Vietnam no war has been fought with draftees. The American Workers will have the chance to overthrow capitalist rule before World War three is declared.

      The Cyber attack, the reality is we dont know who has the edge, but word on the street is America is very powerful themselves, even so far as using hardware breaches designed for them by American companies who have almost a monopoly on Design, its no wonder a lot of Chinese companies use ARM design because its almost the only non american arquitecture. It was speculated that Russia's hybrid strategy would pave the way for major attacks on European and American Nato countries, that did not happen, why? It is rumoured America has vicious counter attack capabilities, the attack on the Pipeline in the US was probably an attempt to bait a US response before the war in Ukraine, the problem with this weapons is that once you use it its worthless because the enemy will know and fix the vulnerability that is why it's hidden until fixed.

The true issue is that most Tech companies don’t want to sell to the government - A. The public sector offers an unlimited opportunity at capitalism B.

    I find the idea of Anduril flawed in many ways (and the company has an FTX feel to me, for some reason): First, using 'build minimal product and iterate fast' approach doesn't work with big projects like aircraft carriers or planes. These things cost billions to build even in mass production. And running complete analysis and simulation before trying is clearly more efficient. Second, 'giving the company a lot of money without a contract to make read stuff' leaves a big potential for fraud. Third, the company assumes that it can predict the need of future warfare better than the Department of Defense, which has decades of experience. I think this is highly unlikely. Finally, this company is positioning itself 'alongside' existing defense contractors, meaning it's asking additional money in a time when US economy is stuck between hyperinflation and recession. The US just doesn't have money to throw in a pit now.

Abbott has developed a portable blood testing device called the Alinity. Roche has developed a portable blood testing device called the cobas Liat. DiaDexus has developed a blood testing technology called the Dexcom G6. Other than those, there are a number of other startups that are developing blood testing technologies everywhere. So this is something that can be easily replicated, if we find a cheaper sustainable way of building this things.

The only time in modern history China has had a unity allows for a more developed military culture is the 70 plus years since its rescue that included a free world trade access provided by USA.
      Suppose the Military culture catches up or has even surpassed western systems. China still has to keep control of its own population in ways the west does not ideally have to. This alone is so precarious ultimate physical power balanced with controlled population is a mini war in itself.

If you only look at American casualties compared to NVA and Veit Cong casualties, the ratio grows even larger. The US bombed North Vietnam into a peace treaty before pulling troops out of the country. Only when the US had withdrawn from Vietnam did the North violate the treaty and conquer the South. It's clear that in an all out war between the two nations, what the outcome would have been.

      Even if usa wakes up and tries to compete with china in building and economics, USA will still lose since China is the world leader in infrastructure construction and china's pockets are much deeper than usas since USA is wasting it all on weapons and wars. Even if USA wasn't wasting all it's money on wars and weapons, USA still cannot compete vs china in building around the world. no one can.
      So like this video says, USA has already lost. It's too late to beat china in anything except war. And in war USA will also lose big time even if it wins vs china like in Taiwan. After such a war both china and USA will lose, Russia and others will overtake both USA and china since both countries will be destroyed, including their militaries.
