#1 I differ. IMNSHO the USA won WWIII when the USSR collapsed. We are now in WWIV. Domestically we are in Civil War III. Civil War I was the American Revolution.

#5 With the start of Obama's second term, they rescinded the Smith Mundt Act and by time Trump ascended, or rather descended the escalator, the Military Industrial Complex had coined a new term: Cognitive Warfare.

NATO: Cognitive Warfare includes activities conducted in synchronization with other Instruments of Power, to affect attitudes and behaviours, by influencing, protecting, or disrupting individual, group, or population level cognition, to gain an advantage over an adversary. Designed to modify perceptions of reality, whole-of-society manipulation has become a new norm, with human cognition shaping to be a critical realm of warfare.

#6 I don't know which is worse: China or the politicians and corporate bosses in our country who enable China. I do not believe China would be anywhere near the threat that it is without the cooperation of the foolish and greedy bastards in our country.
