America Reveals 'Great Power' Plans Against Russia and China

[Lodestar]

The United States is entering a new era of great power competition facing off against a resurgent Russia and a reemerging China. As such, the United States has to prioritize its defense spending to meet those rising challenges—which Washington will start to do with President Barack Obama’s 2017 budget proposal, announced this week.
“These challenges reflect a return to great power of competition. First is in Europe, where we're taking a strong and balanced approach to deter Russian aggression, and we haven't had to worry about this for twenty-five years,” U.S. defense secretary Ashton Carter told an audience at the Washington Economic Club on Tuesday. “Second is in the Asia-Pacific, where China is rising and where we're continuing and will continue our rebalance.”

While great power confrontations have existed since before Athens faced off against Sparta in the Great Peloponnesian War that ended about 2,400 years ago, this new confrontation will be different. The United States won’t just face off against Russia and China in the air, on land or at sea. Washington will also have to confront Moscow and Beijing in the emerging cyberspace and electronic warfare domains.
“We will be prepared for a high-end enemy. That's what we call full spectrum. In our budget, our plans, our capabilities and our actions, we must demonstrate to potential foes, that if they start a war, we have the capability to win. Because the force that can deter conflict, must show that it can dominate a conflict,” Carter said. “In this context, Russia and China are our most stressing competitors. They have developed and are continuing to advance military systems that seek to threaten our advantages in specific areas. And in some case, they are developing weapons and ways of wars that seek to achieve their objectives rapidly, before they hope, we can respond.”

The Maggie Thatchers and Hillary Clintons and Madeline Albrights are just as culpable.

Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that’s more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?

Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: I think this is a very hard choice, but the price–we think the price is worth it.

2. Hillary has proven herself to be a warhawk.

If she wins the GE, we will be in a proxy war with Russia in Syria. Just watch.

3. If she loses the GE we will be living in caves.

4. No doubt about that

She is a war hawk. So is Trump.

So we are going back in history to fight the cold war with Russia yet again. Since they are now a crony capatalist nation like us, why should we fear Russia this time?

6. Hillary is a war monger because she owes the MIC some VIG!

The MIC and other corporate donors are like the mafia. They buy you, you stay bought!

We really need to overthrow this corrupt election system!

5. We are all screwed.

Whether Hilliary or Trump is elected, there will be another war.
Either one will bring it. One sooner than the other.
If there is another great war, count on the extinction of the Human Race!

7. I thought we were broke. Where's all this new money for bombs going to come from?

Maybe President Hillary will donate her speaking fees to the Air Farce.

9. Don't worry, they are going to "Balance" SSI, medicare and the rest of it

By vacuuming all the funds out of them and any other social safety net program left to do it. Also, there are signs of another crash coming soon again. Probably 20 Trillion more debt to save the 1% again.

8. I can't wait to glow in the dark

These Idiots will destroy the world and never bat an eye just as long as they believe that they will be the last person standing. After over 4000 plus years of war you would think that mankind might have learn the lesson that in war everyone loses sadly you would be wrong. I doubt that mankind will ever learn that lesson. Einstein said that he did not know what WW3 would be fought with but he knew what WW4 would be fought with sticks and stones.
