    You don’t get into those positions by having a solid material analysis.

    Anyone in the armed forces who develops one would get tf out at the soonest opportunity. Understanding the current state of affairs requires (minimally) some understanding of how Marxist and anti-imperialist states operate, which usually leads to sympathizing with the cause, which inhibits their ability to perform their duties.

    Best you’re gonna get is a true believer with good grades from West Point. Tacticians with zero strategic ability. The ranks will be filled with overzealous fascists who jump at every opportunity to strike the enemy.

    It also doesn’t help that the US has no winning moves besides being marginally more intact after a nuclear war. They’re just sticking to what they know…apply sanctions, fund fascist opposition groups, and provoke militarily.

    The West doesn’t even know just how cooked it is yet.
