State collapse is inevitable when a society’s leaders are insulated from the negative consequences of their bad decisions.

Well, based upon the quality of current Ford and GM vehicles, if the pentagram is pushing potential DPA on the big 2, then we’ve already lost the war. At least the USPS will be kept busy delivering recall notices to Mr. Pete Hegseth, C/O Dept of War.
Yeah–well good luck with this gambit. The days of turning out a 1 B24 per hour from a Ford production line is long gone. Let’s look at the availability of production ‘tool makers’ in the USA versus China. In China you could fill two Olympic sized stadiums with tool makers in that country. In the USA, you’d be luck to fill a large meeting room in an off-strip, Las Vegas resort. So what is Ford and GM going to crank out? More irrelevant tanks and APC’s? You go to war these days and it’s missiles and remote weapons–that you have in inventory. And in a full-scale war situation like WWII–this stuff would be spent in less than a month… then it bayonet charges. Look at the expenditures alone against Iran–now imagine this against Russia and China at the same time. Imagine the sheer loss of material, ships, aircraft and people in the ground to tactical nuclear weapons. And if you want to go to war–who’s going to come? Do you really think a draft would work? You’re dreaming. Do you really think men will line up 100 deep to join the Marines like they did after Pearl Harbor? Not going to happen. And especially if it is the USA perceived to start the conflict as we did with Iran. Yeah–you read that right. So what are we going to do–waste money on more weapons that don’t work? (like the THAD and Patriot systems). Build more surface targets? (ships). And when Russia and China spends 1 dollar for every 9 we spend–who’s going to bankrupt who this time?
The fleet of new USPS vehicles suffer from reliability faults that could impede said recall notices.
Touché. I like the way you think.
