From https://thehill.com/opinion/national-security/5292882-pentagon-china-risks-global-instability/

In late March, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth issued the Interim National Defense Strategic Guidance to the Pentagon. According to the guidance, as quoted by The Washington Post, “China is the Department’s sole pacing threat, and denial of a Chinese fait accompli seizure of Taiwan — while simultaneously defending the U.S. homeland is the Department’s sole pacing scenario.” The Pentagon is instructed, per the report, to plan only for contingencies with China.

Given the trends in the new administration, none of this is surprising, but it is shocking.

The document is a blueprint for geopolitical malpractice. The guidance’s identification of China as a major security threat, and thus a priority, is appropriate. But the prescribed downgrading of American commitments in Europe and the Middle East is a recipe for global instability, including in Asia. Violent conflagrations will follow.

The US has already said it will start withdrawing troops from Europe and Hegseth considers China a bigger threat than Russia.

Had not the powerful US entered World War II, Russia would have been conquered by Germany. Russia had a much greater population than Germany, but its troops weren’t as well trained and in the beginning of the war its equipment weren’t as good.

No. Russia regained some land but, in the summer of 1942, Germany went on the offensive.

The US would withdrawal fully if it meant the end of the war in Ukraine.

The difference is that Trump doesn’t seem interested defending Europe. The EU should use this to bargain with Putin regarding Ukraine.

Explain how creating a Palestinian state is ethnic cleansing.

I know that but the Western allies kept Hitler from concentrating his forces against Russia. Also, the West through Arctic convoys gave Russia supplies. Finally, it was the West which bombed Germany not Russia.

Russia would gain Crimea, the US military would no longer be in Europe, sanctions against Russia would be lifted, and with UK and French troops in Ukraine, Russia would not be able to conquer Ukraine.

No. In December 1941 when the US entered the war after Hitler foolishly declared war on the US, Russia had simply stopped Germany outside of Moscow.

But they would move to equivalent land adjacent to the West Bank. Why would they complain about that?

Israel would give up the West Bank for much more land in the Sinai. Israel would have the potential to become a much more populous and powerful country. Egypt would not be taking in Palestinians. Egypt would simply own the land they are in. Egypt could give them the land.

By 1944, Russia had fully recovered from the German invasion and was a powerful military. That was not the case in 1942. When Hitler launched his 1942 summer offensive, he had to keep units in the west to repel any invasion of France by the Western allies.

Numbers alone don’t count. During World War II, Germany could have conquered Russia if it didn’t have to fight the powerful US in the west. That’s the reason Putin might accept the plan. Without the US in Europe, Putin might think he can conquer Europe.

Explain how my plan is ethnic cleansing.

He wanted to exterminate them, otherwise he would have let them leave. In my plan, only the Palestinians in Gaza would have to move. Even then they would be moving next to their brothers and sisters in the West Bank

In my plan, only the Palestinians in Gaza would have to move. Even then they would be moving next to their brothers and sisters in the West Bank.

This is what the EU should propose to Putin. Russia will withdraw from all land it seized from Ukraine after the 2022 invasion. NATO would be dissolved and replaced with a European alliance. Ukraine and Canada would be permitted to join but not the US. If Putin doesn’t accept the proposal, the UK and France would send troops to Ukraine.

Quite the contrary. The Palestinians would now have a home. They will own it if Egypt gives it to them.

Be specific. What’s wrong with my proposal?
