Since everything in America is so damned expensive to make these days
- and that's why we are mostly buying only goods made in China or
other developing nations today - "battlegroup technology supremacy"
might be key for your hegemony projects, but something has got to give
and something might very well have to achieve a state of real, total
inferority for this kind of supremacy wet dream to come true for you
guys. It is a zero-sum game when your country is in a chronic state
of borrowing.
In other words, those who have global hegemony in mind for America may
have all kinds of "ends" they are drooling over, they still have to
find the means to meet them.
It seems that by broadcasting your hegemony wet dream to the world,
including your enemies; you are alerting them to do something that
would ultimately neutralize any advantage you may have.
It will be an arms race as it already has been - between the US and
China and between the US and Russia (despite the collapse of the
Soviet Union).
An astute reader will no doubt allow for the possibility that the
DoD's propaganda department might very well be putting this kind of
message out only to trick China into a mindless arms race, as Ronald
Reagan had allegedly done years ago in the case of the USSR.
But will an arms race between the US and China cause China to go
bankgrupt first or will it be the other way round?
Everyday, we are paying millions to the Chinese just to service the
trillions of dollars we've borrowed from them, it is quite clear that
the Reagan arms race trick isn't about to bring down China!
So, it's easy to talk about a need for us to have supremacy in this
and that; but we've got to have the money first. It's like the kid
who goes to school hungry; he won't be one of our A-grade students.
That's reality. Everything else, however, is just talk, fantasy,
misinformation, or, simply, a big waste of money!
