Chilling World War III 'wargames' show US forces crushed by Russia and China

Chilling World War III 'wargames' show US forces crushed by Russia and China
According to research organization RAND, should a major conflict arise in Russia and China's 'backyards,' US forces would be crushed by a vast array of both conventional and cyber weapons. Based on a variety of wargame simulations, a clash with Russia in the Baltic states would result in the rapid defeat of U.S. forces and their allies. Simultaneously, a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, while a massive military gamble for China, would also pose a huge challenge for U.S. forces in the area.
Scary World War III ‘wargames’ show U.S. forces crushed by Russia and China in certain hot spots around the globe.
Research organization RAND has run dozens of wargames simulating major conflict scenarios in what it describes as Russia and China’s “backyards.” The wargames suggest that the U.S. forces in those locations would get attacked by a vast array of both conventional and cyber weapons.
RAND Senior Defense Analyst David Ochmanek discussed the simulations at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) in Washington D.C. last week. “In our games, where we fight China or Russia … blue gets its a** handed to it, not to put too fine a point on it,” he said, during a panel discussion. Blue denotes U.S. forces in the simulations.
AIR FORCE BUILDS NEW DEEP STRIKE 'SPY NETWORK' FOR AIR ATTACK
“We lost a lot of people, we lose a lot of equipment, we usually fail to achieve our objectives of preventing aggression by the adversary,” Ochmanek added during the CNAS discussion.

Based on the wargames, a clash with Russia in the Baltic states would result in the rapid defeat of U.S. forces and their allies, Ochmanek told Fox News. “Within 48 to 72 hours, Russian forces are able to reach a capital of a Baltic state,” he said. On the other side of the world, a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, while a massive military gamble for China, would also pose a huge challenge for U.S. forces in the area, according to Ochmanek.
Russia and China have amassed large inventories of precision-guided cruise missiles and ballistic missiles that can reach hundreds of miles and strike military targets, the researcher said. Set against this backdrop, U.S. military outposts and aircraft carriers in the contested regions could face a potential devastating barrage of missiles.
ABRAMS TANK SET FOR 'LETHALITY' UPGRADE
In RAND’s wargames and analysis, Russia, and particularly China, unleash so many missiles that they overcome U.S. defenses. “They send salvos that are so great that we cannot intercept all the missiles,” Ochmanek said.

The researcher notes that the key “domains of warfare” are contested from the start of hostilities. The U.S., he explains, should not assume air and maritime superiority over the battlespace. American space assets could also face attacks, while U.S. command and control systems could be targeted by electromagnetic and cyber weapons.
To combat these threats, U.S. forces could ramp up their deployment of so-called ‘standoff’ missiles that can be fired from large distances, such as cruise missiles, according to Ochmanek, along with highly robust reconnaissance systems and jam-resistant communications.
AIR FORCE FAST-TRACKS NEW NUCLEAR MISSILES
“For a sustained investment of an additional $8 billion a year between 2020 and 2030, the U.S. Air Force could buy the kit needed to make a difference,” he said, noting that similar sums would be required for the Army and Navy.
President Trump’s fiscal 2020 budget plan proposes $750 billion for defense, up 5 percent from fiscal 2019.
America’s posture is also key when it comes to challenging potential adversaries such as Russia, according to Ochmanek. “It’s putting more combat power back into Europe, and putting it on Europe’s eastern flank,” he said.
NAVY PLANS 'BLUE FORCE' OPEN WATER WEAPONS STRATEGY FOR NEW FRIGATE
The U.S. National Defense Strategy, which was released by the DoD last year, cites the restoration of “America’s competitive edge by blocking global rivals Russia and China from challenging the U.S. and our allies,” as one its key goals.

“Long-term strategic competitions with China and Russia are the principal priorities for the Department, and require both increased and sustained investment, because of the magnitude of the threats they pose to U.S. security and prosperity today, and the potential for those threats to increase in the future,” the strategy explains.

World War 3 WARNING: US would be ‘wiped out’ by Russia and China reveal analysts
WORLD War 3 simulations conducted by an American nonprofit have revealed US forces would be completely “wiped out” when confronted with Chinese and Russian military.
By Brian McGleenon
PUBLISHED: 04:24, Tue, Mar 12, 2019 | UPDATED: 07:37, Tue, Mar 12, 2019



The RAND Corporation, who carried out the simulation, claimed US land, sea and air forces would be reduced to rubble in the outlandish scenario. Nonprofit research organization RAND Corporation reported the war-game showed US armed forces facing substantial losses, despite repeated attempts to overcome both Russia and China's military muscle. RAND analyst David Ochmanek said: "In our games when we fight Russia and China, the US gets its a** handed to it.

The simulations showed the US see major setbacks in all five battlefield domains.

The US were soundly beaten on land, sea, air, space and cyberspace.
US stealth fighters were often wiped out while still on the runway.
Former deputy secretary of defence and an experienced war-gamer Robert Work said: "F-35 rules the sky when it's in the sky, it gets killed on the ground in large numbers."
Other scenarios showed that US warships were sunk and US bases reduced to rubble.

The US was seen to not have enough anti-air and missile defence capabilities to strike back in the event of a high-end conflict.
Both aircraft carriers and US Air Force bases were often targeted by long-range precision-guided missiles, and the US Army's tank brigades were pummeled by cruise missiles, drones and helicopters, officials stated.
Mr Ochmanek said: ”Things that rely on sophisticated base infrastructure like runways and fuel tanks are going to have a hard time."
When it comes to cyber warfare, Mr Ochmanek indicated that US satellites and wireless networks could become ineffective if Chinese military forces were to employ "system destruction warfare".

Russia and China Could Crush U.S.

Recent war game simulations reveal that the U.S. would be defeated ‘in one scenario after another’ in a war with Russia and China.

March 12





A recent rand analysis shows that the United States would be crushed by Russia and China in a war. rand made this discovery during its annual “Red on Blue” war game simulation.
This exercise trains the U.S. military in formulating strategies and responding to modeled enemy threats. In these games, red represents an allied Russia and China, and blue represents the United States.
rand analyst David Ochmanek said that in conventional war, the U.S. would suffer “heavy losses in one scenario after another and still can’t stop Russia or China,” despite the fact that the U.S. spends $700 billion a year on superweapons such as stealth aircraft and carriers.
These powerful weapons are typically grouped en masse at a land base or on an aircraft carrier, and are therefore extremely vulnerable to being wiped out in large numbers by precision-guided long-range missiles. As former Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Work said, the F-35 may rule the sky, but it “gets killed on the ground in large numbers.” This is how the U.S. could quickly lose a large number of its military equipment to the “reds.”
Russia’s and China’s “smart” weapons pose an increasing threat to U.S. infrastructure, such as runways, fuel tanks and ships. These could easily be wiped out by a simple missile strike. They are more vulnerable because many U.S. bases have no defense against cruise missiles, drones and helicopters due to the removal of a large number of mobile anti-aircraft units.
The solution? rand says that the U.S. would need to invest $24 billion every year for five years to prepare the U.S. for “high-tech war with Russia and China.” Short-term, this would mean buying missiles and air defense batteries. Long-term, this requires investment in lasers, railguns and high-powered missile defense systems.
Perhaps the biggest concern discovered in these rand war games is America’s vulnerability to what the Chinese call “system destruction warfare.” The Chinese have been known to “attack the American battle network at all levels, relentlessly, and they practice it all the time,” Work said. This means that the enemy shuts down U.S. networks so completely that the command post is left with nothing but blank screens and radio static.
What happens when the command structure loses everything? In a war game simulation, the exercise is ended because nobody can figure out how to keep fighting. This is a chilling reality. In a moment, the U.S. could lose its entire command structure, and chaos would ensue.
“It turns out U.S. superweapons have a little too much Achilles in their heels,” said Breaking Defense reporter Sydney Freedberg Jr.
Russia and China’s ability to crush the U.S. in war, along with this reference to America’s Achilles’ heel, are strikingly reminiscent of the decades-long prophecies of the Trumpet.
Soon after World War ii, Herbert W. Armstrong, editor in chief of the Plain Truth, predecessor of the Trumpet, said that America had won its last war!
Again, this time in 1961, he said, “Unless or until the United States as a whole repents and returns to what has become a hollow slogan on its dollars: ‘In God we trust,’ the United States of America has won its last war! … It means, Mr. and Mrs. United States, that the handwriting is on your wall!”
In February 1978, after the U.S. was defeated in Vietnam, Mr. Armstrong again warned, “America’s influence and prestige is on the rapid decline. The pride of our power has been broken. The time is fast approaching when the United States will be so weak and so fearful of its own shadow that, as the Prophet Ezekiel predicted, the trumpet will sound the call to battle, but none shall answer (Ezekiel 7:14).”
These fearful predictions have come to pass! The pride in the U.S.’s power has been broken and it has won its last war, as its history since World War ii has proved. And these latest simulated war games confirm that the U.S. is incapable of winning a war with Russia and China.
Continuing to proclaim Mr. Armstrong’s bold prophecies, Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry has also sounded the alarm.
In his May 2005 Trumpet article, Mr. Flurry focused on Ezekiel 7:14: “They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.” Mr. Flurry wrote:
The trumpet of war is to be blown in Israel—mainly America and Britain. (If you would like more information, request our free booklet on Ezekiel. All of our literature is free.) It seems everybody is expecting our people to go into battle, but the greatest tragedy imaginable occurs! Nobody goes to battle—even though the trumpet is blown! Will it be because of computer terrorism? …
Over a decade ago, Joseph de Courcy wrote this in his Intelligence Digest: … “Computer dependence is the Western world’s Achilles’ heel, and within a few years this weakness could be tested to the full.”​
How strikingly real this has become! America clearly has “a little too much Achilles in [its] heels.” The U.S. could be taken down suddenly by an attack on its command network. What a chilling prophecy that is now capable of becoming reality!

  • The US might very well lose a high-end fight against a near-peer threat like China or Russia, two war-gaming experts said Thursday.
  • “In our games, when we fight Russia and China, ‘blue’ gets its ass handed to it,” said David Ochmanek, a RAND analyst, referring to a color code used for the US.
  • In these simulated fights, an aggressor force obliterates US stealth fighters on the runway, sinks US warships, destroys US bases, and takes out critical US military systems.
In war games simulating a high-end fight against Russia or China, the US often loses, two experienced military war-gamers have revealed.
“In our games, when we fight Russia and China, ‘blue’ gets its ass handed to it,” David Ochmanek, a RAND warfare analyst, explained at the Center for a New American Security on Thursday, Breaking Defense first reported. US forces are typically color-coded blue in these simulations.
“We lose a lot of people. We lose a lot of equipment. We usually fail to achieve our objective of preventing aggression by the adversary,” he said.

At the outset of these conflicts, all five battlefield domains – land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace – are contested, meaning the US could struggle to achieve the superiority it has enjoyed in the past.
In these simulated fights, the “red” aggressor force often obliterates US stealth fighters on the runway, sends US warships to the depths, destroys US bases, and takes out critical US military systems.

“In every case I know of, the F-35 rules the sky when it’s in the sky,” Robert Work, a former deputy secretary of defense and an experienced war-gamer, said Thursday. “But it gets killed on the ground in large numbers.”
Neither China nor Russia has developed a fifth-generation fighter as capable as the F-35, but even the best aircraft have to land. That leaves them vulnerable to attack.
US warships are wiped off the board

“Things that sail on the surface of the sea are going to have a hard time,” Ochmanek said.
Aircraft carriers, traditional beacons of American military might, are becoming increasingly vulnerable. They may be hard to kill, but they are significantly less difficult to take out of the fight.

Naval experts estimate that US aircraft carriers now need to operate at least 1,000 nautical miles from the Chinese mainland to keep out of range of China’s anti-ship missiles, according to USNI News.

“If we went to war in Europe, there would be one Patriot battery moving, and it would go to Ramstein [in Germany]. And that’s it,” Work explained, according to Breaking Defense. “We have 58 Brigade Combat Teams, but we don’t have anything to protect our bases. So what difference does it make?”
Simply put, the US military bases scattered across Europe and the Pacific don’t have the anti-air and missile-defense capabilities required to handle the overwhelming volume of fire they would face in a high-end conflict.
US networks and systems crumble

In a conflict against a near-peer threat, US communications satellites, command-and-control systems, and wireless networks would be crippled.
“The brain and the nervous system that connects all of these pieces is suppressed, if not shattered,” Ochmanek said of this scenario. Work said the Chinese call this type of attack “system destruction warfare.”
The Chinese would “attack the American battle network at all levels, relentlessly, and they practice it all the time,” Work said. “On our side, whenever we have an exercise, when the red force really destroys our command and control, we stop the exercise and say, ‘let’s restart.'”
A sobering assessment
These are the things that the war games show over and over and over, so we need a new American way of war without question,” Work stressed.

Ochmanek and Work have both seen US war games play out undesirably, and their damning observations reflect the findings of an assessment done from last fall.
“If the United States had to fight Russia in a Baltic contingency or China in a war over Taiwan, Americans could face a decisive military defeat,” the National Defense Strategy Commission – a bipartisan panel of experts picked by Congress to evaluate the National Defense Strategy – said in a November report.

The report called attention to the erosion of the US’s military edge by rival powers, namely Russia and China, which have developed a “suite of advanced capabilities heretofore possessed only by the United States.”
The commission concluded the US is “at greater risk than at any time in decades.”

The US may not stand a chance against Russia and China should World War III break out, advanced warfare analysts have warned.
Nonprofit global policy think tank RAND has been performing simulated war scenarios, often sponsored by the Pentagon, to test how American forces would fare against the world's other leading military superpowers.
Last week, RAND analysts revealed that in scenario after scenario, the US has suffered severe losses despite spending nearly $1trillion annually on the military, exceeding the spending of any other country by more than double.

'In our games, when we fight Russia and China, "blue" gets its ass handed to it,' researcher David Ochmanek explained at the Center for a New American Security on Thursday, Breaking Defense first reported. American forces are generally color-coded in blue in the simulations.
'We lose a lot of people. We lose a lot of equipment. We usually fail to achieve our objective of preventing aggression by the adversary,' Ochmanek added.
Though hypothetical, the simulated games warn that the world order America has fought to protect for more than a century could be at risk.
The simulated conflicts take place in all five domains of battle: land, sea, air, space and cyberspace.
Accord to RAND, 'red' aggressor forces frequently burn US military bases to the ground, sink warships and take out cyber systems.
Robert Work, a former deputy secretary of defense and experienced war-gamer, explained that America's F-35 fighter jet is the most advanced of its kind in the sky, but is vulnerable on the tarmac.
'In every case I know of, the F-35 rules the sky when it's in the sky,' Work said Thursday. 'But it gets killed on the ground in large numbers.'

Work and Ochmanek's bleak observations mirror the findings of an assessment carried out last fall by the National Defense Strategy Commission, a bipartisan panel of experts selected by Congress to evaluate America's National Defense Strategy.
'If the United States had to fight Russia in a Baltic contingency or China in a war over Taiwan, Americans could face a decisive military defeat,' the Commission said in a November report.
The report highlighted how the US has lost its military edge as rival powers, namely Russia and China, have developed a 'suite of advanced capabilities heretofore possessed only by the United States'.
It came to the alarming conclusion that the US is 'at greater risk than at any time in decades'.
However, RAND's findings aren't all doom and gloom.
Analysts say it would take just $24billion to improve outcomes - which is about three percent of the $750billion defense budget President Donald Trump will propose for 2020.
The Air Force had approached RAND to develop a plan to fix the problems behind the poor outcomes.
To his surprise, Ochmanek said: 'We found it impossible to spend more than $8billion a year' on necessary improvement.
The $24billion number comes from tripling that $8billion to cover the Army and the Navy.
Ochmanek said that adding $24billion to the budget 'for the next five years would be a good expenditure' to prepare the US for World War III, which he predicts is at least 10 to 20 years down the road.

US Beaten by China and Russia in WW III War Games

By Douglas A. McIntyre March 13, 2019 6:30 am EDT

Print Email















Think tank RAND Corporation ran a large number of war-game simulations between the United States and China and the United States and Russia. The United States lost in almost every case. The simulations assumed that the battles were close to Chinese and Russian territory. As one analyst said, the United States “gets its a** handed to it …” based on the research conclusions. Admittedly, the work is based on simulations, but RAND said they were an accurate analysis of a major American military problem.
The RAND analysis shows that the U.S. defense budget would need to be increased for a different outcome. RAND is nonpartisan, so it is unlikely the results had political motivations.

RAND Senior Defense Analyst David Ochmanek reviewed the simulations at the Center for a New American Security. The primary assumptions of the analysis are that the United States fights Russia in the Baltics region and it battles China for Taiwan. In an overview of the war-games work done by RAND, he said: “We lost a lot of people, we lose a lot of equipment, we usually fail to achieve our objectives of preventing aggression by the adversary.” He added, “Within 48 to 72 hours, Russian forces are able to reach a capital of a Baltic.” In a comment to Fox News, he suggested that a Chinese attack on Taiwan would be a military risk for China, but that would not stop it from prevailing. Ochmanek also added another threat is missiles from the enemies. “… salvos that are so great that we cannot intercept all the missiles.” The United States is the nation that spends the most on war.

The work is complicated, to the extent that it looked at all major forms of military force. That included cyberwarfare, land-based attacks, sea-based battles, air conflicts and whatever each nation could muster from space-based weapons and observations. Robert Work, who had a high-level job in the defense department, was particularly worried about U.S. air warfare. While he said that the F-35 fighter, the most sophisticated the United States has, would give the United States air superiority, it is vulnerable to attack when it is on the ground. Ironically, most of the 20 companies profiting most from war are U.S.-based.
Breaking Defence, a news site, reported on the results earlier than other media. It said that in the war games, U.S. forces were colored blue and Chinese and Russia forces were colored red. Work said that in many situations, “Whenever we have an exercise, and the red force really destroys our command and control, we stop the exercise.” Cyber and electronic systems operated by the United States were particularly vulnerable.
The analysis offers no hard and fast conclusions about how the outcomes of the simulated battles could be changed. An addition of $24 billion a year to the U.S. defense budget would be a component. Some of this money would be needed to add essential defensive and offensive long-range missiles. This would be added to “technology already in production.” The new Trump administration budget calls for a 5% increase in defense spending, which covers most of what the RAND analysis says it needs. Of course, that depends on how the money is spent.

In simulated World War III scenarios, the U.S. continues to lose against Russia and China, two top war planners warned last week. “In our games, when we fight Russia and China, blue gets its ass handed to it” RAND analyst David Ochmanek said Thursday.
.

.
RAND’s wargames show how US Armed Forces – colored blue on wargame maps – experience the most substantial losses in one scenario after another and still can’t thwart Russia or China – which predictably is red – from accomplishing their objectives: annihilating Western forces.
.
“We lose a lot of people. We lose a lot of equipment. We usually fail to achieve our objective of preventing aggression by the adversary,” he warned.
.
In the next military conflict, which some believe may come as soon as the mid-2020s, all five battlefield domains: land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace, will be heavily contested, suggesting the U.S. could have a difficult time in achieving superiority as it has in prior conflicts.
.

.
The simulated war games showed, the “red” aggressor force often destroys U.S. F-35 Lightning II stealth fighters on the runway, sends several Naval fleets to the depths, destroys US military bases, and through electronic warfare, takes control of critical military communication systems. In short, a gruesome, if simulated, annihilation of some of the most modern of US forces.
.
“In every case I know of,” said Robert Work, a former deputy secretary of defense with years of wargaming experience, “the F-35 rules the sky when it’s in the sky, but it gets killed on the ground in large numbers.”​
.
So, as Russia and China develop fifth-generation fighters and hypersonic missiles, “things that rely on sophisticated base infrastructures like runways and fuel tanks are going to have a hard time,” Ochmanek said. “Things that sail on the surface of the sea are going to have a hard time.”
.
“That’s why the 2020 budget coming out next week retires the carrier USS Truman decades early and cuts two amphibious landing ships, as we’ve reported. It’s also why the Marine Corps is buying the jump-jet version of the F-35, which can take off and land from tiny, ad hoc airstrips, but how well they can maintain a high-tech aircraft in low-tech surroundings is an open question,” said Breaking Defense.
.
Meanwhile, speaking purely hypothetically of course, “if we went to war in Europe, there would be one Patriot battery moving, and it would go to Ramstein. And that’s it,” Work complained. The US has 58 Brigade Combat Teams across the continent but doesn’t have anti-air and missile-defense capabilities required to handle a barrage of missiles from Russia.
.

RAND also war-gamed cyber and electronic attacks in the simulations, Work said; Russia and China tend to cripple US communication networks.
.
“Whenever we have an exercise and the red force really destroys our command and control, we stop the exercise,” Work said without a trace of humor. Beijing calls this “system destruction warfare,” Work said. They aim to “attack the American battle network at all levels, relentlessly, and they practice it all the time.”
.

.
The Air Force asked RAND to formulate a plan several years ago to improve the outcomes of the wargames in favor of the US, Ochmanek said. “We found it impossible to spend more than $8 billion a year” to fix the problems.
.
“That’s $8 billion for the Air Force. Triple that to cover for the Army and the Navy Department (which includes the US Marines),” Ochmanek said, “and you get $24 billion.”​
.
Work was less concerned about the near-term risk of war, and he said, China and Russia aren’t ready to fight because their modernization efforts have not been completed. He said any major conflict is unlikely for another 10 to 20 years from now.
He said “$24 billion a year for the next five years would be a good expenditure” to prepare the military for World War III.
.
RAND offers a sobering assessment that America could lose a multi-front war in the future, which is quite shocking considering that the US spent nearly three times as much as the second biggest war power, China, did in 2017.


With the defense budget stuck around $700 billion per annum for the remainder of President Trump’s term, America’s Warhawks are inciting fear through simulated wargames with one purpose only: demand more taxpayers’ money for war spending.

Defence analysts has been running World War III simulations and it's very bad news for the UK and its Armed Forces, such as the Royal Navy and the British Army - but potentially good news for manufacturers of guided missile systems.

Global think tank the RAND Corporation runs 'wargames' simulations which are often sponsored by the Pentagon and test how the UK's key strategic ally, the USA, would fare against other leading military superpowers. RAND analysts recently revealed that US forces (coloured blue on wargame maps) suffer heavy losses in scenario after scenario, and can’t stop Russia or China (red) from achieving their objectives - such as overrunning US allies.

“In our games, when we fight Russia and China, blue gets its ass handed to it,” RAND analyst David Ochmanek told US online defence magazine Breaking Defense.

However, the good news - for the US, it's allies and manufactures of component parts for guided missiles - is that the 'Blues' can turn defeat into victory if America increases its $700 billion yearly spending on defence by another $24 billion.

The simulations show Russia or China largely win World War III with cyber attacks that relentlessly target command-and-control systems, such communications satellites and wireless networks. Robert Work, a former deputy secretary of defense, told Breaking Defense that simulated enemy forces shut down US networks so effectively that "nothing works and nobody else gets any training done".

Work said the Chinese, who call this military tactic 'system destruction warfare', plan to “attack the American battle network at all levels, relentlessly, and they practice it all the time.”


Another Achilles heel is US reliance on the Lockheed Martin F-35 stealth fighter, which are vulnerable to long-range precision-guided missile attacks, when on the ground, either at air bases or on aircraft carriers.

“Things that rely on sophisticated base infrastructure like runways and fuel tanks are going to have a hard time,” said RAND analyst David Ochmanek. “Things that sail on the surface of the sea are going to have a hard time.”

However, the US is already addressing this Achilles heel. Breaking Defense reports that the 2020 US Defense budget review sees the carrier USS Truman retired decades early - and two amphibious landing ships axed - for this very reason. It's also why the US Marine Corps is buying the jump-jet version of the F-35, which can take off and land from ad hoc air strips.

RAND also recommends the US spends an extra $24 billion year, mainly on missiles - "lots and lots of missiles".

Breaking Defense. writes: "The US and its allies notoriously keep underestimating how many smart weapons they’ll need for a shooting war, then start to run out against enemies as weak as the Serbs or Libyans. Against a Russia or China, which can match not only our technology but our mass, you run out of munitions fast.

"Specifically, you want lots of long-range offensive missiles."

Ochmanek told Breaking Defense that for $24 billion “I can buy the whole kit.”

Chow Ang Moh are deadmeat no need war game also can see. From strategy to technology to moral to president all fucked. Finance is historic record ULTIMATE #! BANKRUPTCY and Debt is past 22 Trillion landmark. Own fucking border security cannot even defend against Amigo migrants! No money to build wall! Steal from Congress with State of Emergency! Fucking Dotard Govt shutdown for no budget for world record period!

If USA don't lost WW3 then I worry! My balls if you say need RAND War Games to prove! Simply bare eyes can see!

Sent 2 carriers 3 carriers to NK dare not touch Kim Jong Nuke. Persian Gulf dare not even enter fear Allah's missiles.

Why dare not even make propaganda anymore about Iranian nukes? They used to do that more than 10 years ago. They dare not open that can of worms which they are too coward to handle. Cover up for Allah!

Why can not cover Israeli ass from Syria anymore? Got kicked out!

Can protect Pee Sai? Demand extra 150% protection fees? Go fly kite! Go fuck Spider! Desperate Useless Con-Man, Crooks, Cowards, Bankrupted Beggars! Pui! Faster Die!
