56 min • 31 augusti 2024

The question of which country has the most powerful military in the world is no longer a consensus. While the majority of people in the English-speaking information space still believe the United States is the top dog, there is a growing perception that America is a paper tiger. The English-speaking media tends to downplay weaknesses in the US military and exaggerate Russian failures. However, outside of the Anglosphere, there is a more complete picture of the actual war in Ukraine, and many countries are starting to realize that the US is not invincible. The conversation discusses the decline of US military power and the shift towards a multipolar world. It highlights the failure of economic sanctions against Russia and the success of the Russian economy. The conversation also touches on the importance of missile technology and the US's lack of hypersonic missiles. It criticizes US foreign policy and the wastefulness of military spending. The conversation concludes by emphasizing the need for the US to return to its non-interventionist roots and focus on taking care of its own people.
