“The failure to begin to deal with our bloated military establishment and the profligate use of it in missions for which it is hopelessly inappropriate will, sooner rather than later, condemn the United States to a devastating trio of consequences: imperial overstretch, perpetual war, and insolvency, leading to a likely collapse similar to that of the former Soviet Union.”

Just heard on the radio a couple of minutes ago, the Air Force is closing the jet fighter base in Des Moines, Iowa. They will replace the fighters with drones. No kidding.
Could someone explain to me why we would need drones in the center of the country? Other than the obvious one of course……..

And not only are we collapsing on a similar trajectory as the Soviets, but due to infantile misadventures to the same godforsaken pile of rocks and dirt between Pakistan and Iran.
