Iโ€™m sorry to say this but what the world needs is you to be inflicted an humiliating, clear military defeat somewhere. Maybe losing a carrier, maybe getting some of those B2 shot down in one of those โ€˜beautiful bombingsโ€™. You (and the world) need to see your military is not unbreakable and pretending to be the owners of the world is not going to end well.

Unfortunately, the US military remains extremely competent - for now, at least. There are already beginnings of ironically Stalin-esque ideological purges in the military leadership, and the procurement choices this regime has made have beenโ€ฆ impressively idiotic, in pretty much all domains.
