Description

- US weapon systems are performing poorly on the battlefield in Ukraine for a number of reasons including difficulty in sustaining and repairing them, as well as the narrowing gap between US and Russian military capabilities; - US military industrial output is incapable of keeping up with Russian or Chinese military industrial output; - The US is provoking and attempting to sustain wars thousands of kilometers from its own shores, straining its capability to maintain let alone prevail in these conflicts; - A conflict with China will involve challenges many times greater than those the US is unable to overcome amid its proxy war against Russia in Ukraine; - The US can avoid catastrophe by pivoting toward a more rational and sustainable foreign policy within the framework of a multipolar world and by respecting the primacy of the nation state rather than trying to establish the primacy of itself over all other nations; References: NEO - Does the Fate of US Arms in Ukraine Create Pause for Thought Ahead War with China? https://journal-neo.su/2024/03/12/does-the-fate-of-us-arms-in-ukraine-create-pause-for-thought-ahead-war-with-china/ Newsweek - Russia Destroys 3 Abrams Tanks, 3 HIMARS and 8 Bradleys in 10 Days: Moscow (March 7, 2024): https://www.newsweek.com/russia-ukraine-abrams-tanks-himars-bradley-fighting-vehicles-avdiivka-1876809 CNN - US officials say damage to Patriot missile defense system was minimal following Russian attack near Kyiv (May 2023): https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/16/politics/patriot-missile-damage-ukraine/index.html Forbes - A Russian Drone Spotted A Ukrainian Patriot Air-Defense Crew Convoying Near The Front Line.
