Guess Who Has The Most Powerful Military Force In The World

[Redfish]

the Russian footage taken of their smart weapons in action

have not been target on to say the least

true, but Putin is taking out ISIS while obozo sits in a golf cart with his thumb up his ass.

Putin thinks he is taking out ISIS

Maintaining a peace in that shithole is the hard part....ask Bush

Putin has done more in two weeks than obozo did in two years. But you are correct about maintaining peace in that shithole.

Bush Administration Adds $4 Trillion To National Debt
"With no fanfare and little notice, the national debt has grown by more than $4 trillion during George W. Bush's presidency.

You must then absolutely hate The Obama.

Obama has borrowed over two trillion dollars just to pay interest on the Reagan/Bushes debt. After he cooled down two Bush wars...one which was totally unnecessary he has spent less than any of them:

debt and annual deficit are two completely different things. the debt was 10T when obama took office, it will be over 20T when he leaves. He will have added more than all previous presidents combined.

Intel gathered during the Bush admin got OBL, obozo just reluctantly gave the go ahead for the hit.


as to ISIS, it did not exist until obama pulled out of Iraq and declared defeat.

Bush had seven years and his Intel got us into Iraq

As to ISIS, it never existed until the Bush doctrine upset the balance of power in the region

You absolutely don't know what you're talking about. Keep in mind that over two trillion of debt has been added during Obama's terms just to pay the interest on the Reagan/Bushes debt. These totals were drawn using official figures from the bureau of the debt:

Obama has borrowed over two trillion dollars just to pay interest on the Reagan/Bushes debt....

This is, of course, a lie; total debt service from FY2009 on is just over $1T

Bush:
$4899B in debt, over 8 years
Obama:
$7527 in debt, over 6.75 years

Only a mindless partisan bigot will complain about Bush and not more loudly so about The Obama.

You are full of shit. There wouldn't even be a debt if George Bush had continued with the surplus Bill Clinton left but Oh No.....he had to force through a couple of tax cuts for his rich oil buddies. One thing has been true about the Republican party beginning with Reagan. They cut taxes but never cut their spending a goodam dime. Just curious....do you run your personal affairs that way? Get one credit card paid off and run and add two new ones?

One More Thing....over two trillion of the money Obama has added to the debt went to pay interest on the Reagan/Bushes debt which he assumed.

you cant answer the question, of course

so typical for you idiots.

 

[Kondor3]

OP is confusing "Powerful" with "Expensive".

Russia, In Syria, is doing in a matter of weeks what the US couldn't do in years.

Couldn't do, or never really tried to do?

 

[Kondor3]

...real-world performance is a fucking joke.

Let say, for the moment, and the sake of argument, that you're right.

What remedy?

 

[Kondor3]

...This country has a defensive shield set up around it and not one missile stands a chance of penetrating it...

You are wrong.

 

[Kondor3]

...We took over Iraq and Afghanistan with no trouble...

The shades of 200+ American (and so-called 'Coalition') dead during the Invasion, and the 5000+ dead in the years after the initial victory, might disagree with you.

...Just didn't know what to do after...

True. It's what happens when you fail to construct an effective, realistic front-to-back (invasion-to-exit) strategy and then stick to it.

In the case of Iraq, it's what happens when you invade another country for no damned good reason and lie to your own people and the world about the causes.

In the case of Afghanistan, it's what happens when you force-out the Bad Guys, fail to capture the Head Bad Guy let him escape to another kindred country next-door, then hang around, for years, afterwards, for no good reason, and to no useful purpose, in a region of formidable and tortuous terrain that historically swallows and buries invaders.

Active Military...1,369,532

As of 2014 the army of the United States of America is one of the strongest armies in the world, if not the strongest – and that comes down to money. The yearly budget that the United States of America government has allocated to their army is more than six hundred and twelve BILLION dollars. Yes, you read that right: more than six hundred and twelve billion dollars. It is hard to match the global firepower of a country that spends that much on an army! This is probably because, despite not having a single battle on their own soil for tens if not hundreds of years, American troops are currently deployed in nearly one hundred and fifty countries.

Just curious......how would you feel if every time you went to do your grocery shopping there were troops there from a foreign country.....often armed. It seems that somewhere along the way Dwight D. Eisenhower's warning about a military/industrial complex got lost in the fray:

Number of soldiers doesn't equal power. Didn't you see "300?"

Seriously...we have eleven aircraft carriers. Nearly all of the other military countries don't have one. We don't just lead by a little.

So? Couldn't stomp Iraq or Afganistan with 11 carriers? Power you don't use doesn't lend itself to bragging rights. Performance in actual comflict is all that matters. US sucks of late. Simple as that. Theorectical power is top-tier, but real-world performance is a fucking joke.

Honestly US has the biggest stick by far but are very poor at playing the game especially the GOP.

Look at Iraq and Afghanistan they are a GOP mess packaged and given to Obama...

Iran is also a great example. What do America want with Iran...
What they should want is a friendly neighbour, one without nukes. The rest of the world went 'Hey Iran if want to do business you're going to need to drop the nukes' OR GOP 'Bomb Bomb....'

GOP is a clueless mess in international diplomacy. Obama played good cards up til Syria which was a Catch 22 mess..

If you call the cards Obama played in Libya, Yemen, the Ukraine, Iraq and Afghanistan good, someone needs to tell you that a pair of deuces seldom wins a hand.

 

[TooTall]

Truth be known this nation in all probability spends far more than other nations in providing for the families of our military. This cost a whole lot of money.

That's why many junior soldiers' families need food stamps.

When I was in the service a junior soldier had to get the CO's permission to get married and it was seldom given to anyone in the lower three ranks. Too bad that isn't still the policy.
