Guess who has huge numbers in their military and has the human right violation records to coerce their population to enroll? Russia China Middle East Nations Never in the history of the world has a faction gotten weaker and another didn't want to take advantage of that fact.
And the rules-based order implemented after WWII was only possible due to a strong American military. One of those rules was to reduce the military expenditure. America agreed to take care of that since they weren't obliterated like the rest of the world.
America did it because concentrating the power was a way of reducing the need for armed conflict that leads to World Wars. But Soviets said "Nyet!" and formed their own club. But two poles creates less conflict than a multipolar world, hence Cold War instead of World War 3.
3 or more poles is unstable (a millennia of intra-European warfare proves that), because 2 can tag team on one. 2 poles is also unstable, compared to 1, but yes less unstable than a free for all.
And right now, Russia and China are standing up to America on two fronts. Military and economic. No other country possesses both the military and economic acumen that America has.
Russia is top tier at military, but lacks economic power (lol, New York alone produces more than Russia). China's economic power is unrivaled right now and they had America by the balls until Trump arrived.
Now the question is this: Is Russia's military + China's economy greater than American military + economy? Ah, that's the biggest topic of this era. Well, not the biggest, but one of the biggest. "Nation-state vs Global corporation" is up there too.
For those interested in an in depth assessment of American military capability and potential near-peer war, The Heritage Foundation has a fantastic compilation of data on this topic.https://www.heritage.org/military-strength/an-assessment-of-us-military-power …
While it may feel like it to some of us, being out of shape is not a permanent condition. And let’s not forget similar comments were made about American softness and laziness before WW2.
Cripes. No wonder I never see the playgrounds with any activity, they might as well be parking lots.
Those are just regulations, they can be waived if needed. Just as long as you don't get down to McNamara's 100,000 level again

Just wait until the autism rate is 1 in 5. Looks at the trajectory: it's an epidemic of national security proportions and we're still at "acceptance".
We’re still in #Denial. Vaccines are disabling our future generations.
