Andre Martyanov's Losing Military Supremacy, here are some thoughts gleaned from the book. In this book Martyanov explains how the United States military is more show than substance, how we have not won a war in 70 years and how we are living in a fantasy land from the perspective of real power. He compares the United States today to the Russia of the 1990s, when all Russia had to defend itself was nukes. Martyanov praises the US nuclear submarines, but says the US navy is vulnerable, and that our money spent on carriers was a waste as aircraft carrier groups represent WW2 thinking and are no longer efficacious, as they can be destroyed by supersonics before the carrier battle group gets close enough to threaten. He adds that Russia's new, less costly and quieter, diesel submarines (they have nuclear too) are a threat to US nuclear subs. Adding that our weapons are so complicated that they are not effective, are woefully high maintenance and not user friendly without an immense amount of training. And that in cases, like stealth, we have chosen the wrong technologies, as stealth is no longer stealthy or applicable. Martyanov notes that we remain a leading and powerful nation, but one that is trending paper tiger… a house of cards that would lose a war with Russia or China unless we used our nuclear weapons.
This article, about Andre Martyanov's book, losing military Supremacy, from February 6th continues to be relevant. I urge everyone to watch his videos on YouTube atsmoothieX12 open.substack.com/pub/heininger/p/losin…
Yeah, I'd say that is about spot on. Once Reagan and Clinton decided that Free Markets always know best and that there is no such thing as a monopoly. We forced our defence contractors to merge together into the bloated useless messes they are now, and they began to overcharge us by 1000% on some things because they are the sole supplier. And thanks to shareholder supremacy (China being a major shareholder of many defence contractors btw) Wall Street push as much production as they could overseas, literally to China. Broad bipartisan agreement on being the stupidest most corrupt useless elite that have ever existed.
