This is an essay which has been simmering slowly in my spirit for several years. I have waited until now to express myself because I was waiting for the final pieces of the tapestry to fall into place. They now have. The USA, with its combination of ignorance, arrogance, Imperialism, financial folly, military weakness, moral squalor and corrupt leadership, is ripe for the plucking. Yes, Virginia, the USA could be defeated militarily a lot easier than many Americans think. The fact few in the USA even think it possible merely shows me the target window is opening wider.

The company line on the USA military is we spend more than the next nine countries combined; so therefore, we are unable to be defeated. An incorrect analysis in my view. The proper response is what do we do when the next 40 countries decide to take us on. The Finns, who inflicted the only defeat the Russian Army ever suffered, honorable mention goes to Afghanistan and the Chechens, have a saying. It goes like this: "What do you do after you have killed forty Russians andthe 41st shows up?" . This is the situation the USA finds itself in.

The blunt truth is the United States Imperial System, its global oligarchy of corporate predators has led to widespread hatred and contempt for the USA. Everywhere around the world, people truly despise our US government, our corporate looters, our amoral, cynical culture and our lifestyle. Inside the USA matters like Enron, Tyco or political corruption are ignored. This is not true overseas. The cultural idea of America, our freedom, ability of the common man to make something of himself, still hold great appeal. However, if you ask people what they think the USA is, they will tell you she is a corrupt corporate oligarchy sucking the blood out of the rest of the world. For that, we are truly despised. The first judgment about the military defeat of the USA must be whether enough people around the world hate us, for different reasons, to attack and defeat us. The answer is they do. This hatred will eventually express itself in an attack upon the continental USA. People like individual Americans; they like what we claim to be. They just despise what we do, how we act and our ugliness and arrogance. The ugly American is alive and well at all levels of our government, business and general culture.

The enemy is the rest of the world which sees the USA as an out of control brat, throwing temper tantrums with guns and bombs. Most Americans neither know or care this is what is thought around the world. After all, we won the Cold War and can do anything we want.

Since it is a fact most of the world would like to take the USA down a notch, there are only two ways to do this. One is economic and the other is military. The economic attack is already well under way. The fiat dollar collapse is an orchestrated attempt by foreign powers to drain the gasoline out of the US Imperial tank. We will be forced to withdraw from Iraq like the Romans were forced to withdraw from England. A seven trillion dollar debt doesn't leave much room for Imperial pretensions. Over the last few months we have seen a collapse in the overseas financing needed to maintain Imperial America. This is intentional and is designed to force us to cease our mindless overseas adventures. We are not getting the message. The message will be sent more directly over the next few years. War with both China and Russia is inevitable by 2020. The reason I know this is so is both the Russians and Chinese have openly told us. In addition, they are both taking concrete steps to do it. The USA finds itself in the situation of Europe in the 1930's: they read Hitler's Mien Kampf, they just didn't believe he meant it. When the USA is attacked, no one in America can claim both Russia and China didn't give ample warning of their intentions. Who do you think is behind Al Qaida anyway? Are we Americans so naive to think the Islamic terror offensive isn't the start of a long range, broad based military operation to destroy the USA? We are; we will pay for it down the line in a few years. We will not be invaded next year, but five, ten or fifteen years away we will.

Assuming I am correct in my previous assumptions, no doubt many will protest about our great military strength. Um, what great military strength are you talking about? Do you mean our 294 ship Navy, our 10
Division Active Army and our gutted Air Force? Is that the great American military strength you are talking about? One measure of the Clinton administration is it effectively gutted the American military.
We now have, in 2004, roughly 50% of the military we had in 1994. Further, Clinton gutted our war preparedness infrastructure, our war supplies and Gore even sold off the Naval oil reserves to his pal at
Occidental Petroleum. No, I make no moral judgments. I am simply doing the balance sheet of military strength. Further, it is a fact our current overseas deployments have destroyed the combat effectiveness
of our military. Things are so bad, the military has actually run out of small arms ammunition, M-16, Pistol, M-60 and 50 caliber machine gun. The military has one ammo plant. Period. This one plant can
produce enough ammo in a year to meet bare minimums of training. Supplies of spare parts and the other things needed to keep a military functional are critically low. Remember the stories about the US
soldiers in Iraq without body armor due to Clinton and Bush refusing to buy enough? Don't give me any crap about how well prepared the US military is to fight a major war on one front, let alone two. The US
military is in a state of collapse which will only progress over the next several years. Do you really think many of the reserve and National Guard troops will reenlist? A weekend a month and two weeks
in the summer has turned into 18 months in Iraq and Afghanistan. Things are so bad right now the US military is forcing 40,000 troops, nearly two divisions, to stay in after their enlistment end. No ammo,
critical shortages of needed supplies and forcing soldiers to stay in do not add up to a functional military in my view. You may argue with my conclusions, but not my facts. By the way, it is another little
known fact after the war in Kosovo the US Air Force requested six months of stand down to recover. The 130,000 troops returning from Iraq in March will be militarily useless for the rest of the year. I
don't think that means we will be attacked in May. I do think it indicates just how dysfunctional, long term dysfunctional, the United States military is. I am talking about a long term trend of readiness
decline. If a few Iraq citizens with AK-47's and RPGs stalled our advance on Baghdad, just think what a real enemy could do.

Now that I have offended your sense of American patriotism I will let go of the full barrage. The idea Russia's military has collapsed is false. Russia has used the time since 1991 to upgrade her nuclear
capability, develop a high speed torpedo, a supersonic anti shipping missile, a new aircraft, the SU-27, and taken the military equipment withdrawn from Europe and put it deep inside the Ural Mountains. In
addition, Russia has spent billions creating vast, underground complexes in the Urals, supplied them for years and gained a corps of combat trained troops in Chechnya. In other words, Russia now has
absolute naval supremacy, absolute air supremacy and absolute nuclear supremacy over the United States. With their 200 mph torpedoes, their supersonic Sunburst missiles and their favorite toy, the SU-27 they
can sweep the seas of our ships. A while back there was a story of how several Su-27 fighters buzzed the flight deck of the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. A not so subtle message our carrier fleet was so much
scrap metal is what this little propaganda coup was. At any rate, the point I'm making is the US military has already been defeated before the war starts due to being technologically obsolete. Bravery means
little against technology. Napoleon killed 6,000 Marmaldukes in Egypt at the cost of 30 French lives. Napoleon even commented on how brave the men he was slaughtering were. He still butchered them with muskets against swords. The US military has lost the technological battle. There was even a news story about an "unknown", read Russian, anti tank laser weapon which destroyed an M-1 Abrams tank in Iraq.

As for the Red Chinese, the story is even bleaker. Massive numbers of soldiers combined with modern technical weapons are an unbeatable proposition. China has been preparing for war with the USA for the
last ten years at least. China corrupted the 1996 presidential elections to gain time for this buildup. Anyone who thinks the government of China is our friend need only look at Tienmein Square or what happened to the recon plane crew. A nice intelligence haul that one, which further reduced any chance of military superiority the USA had. Taiwan, as always, is a flash point which won't go away. Red China has been spending billions of dollars from their trade balance with the USA to buy weapons capable of destroying the US military. It is the same story as in WW2. We sell Japan scrap metal and they made bombs out them. We buy China's products and they buy Russian weapons to kill us. Who says history doesn't repeat itself? Anyone who thinks even poorly supplied Red Chinese soldiers can't inflict heavy losses on the American military should talk to any Marine 1st Division veteran of the Chosin reservoir. The only reason we didn't lose 20,000 Marines was naval air power. We have now lost naval air power, helicopter air power, fighter jet power and even air resupply power. In this new generation of supersonic anti ship, anti aircraft and shoulder fired missiles, the aircraft, the helicopter and the ships and bases that serve them are extremely vulnerable to destruction from non nuclear weapons. It is a simple fact, one man with an RPG can take down a 25 million dollar Apache helicopter. It is a simple fact, the Sunburst missile, or the SU-27, can take out an aircraft carrier battle group. In fact, we should rename our carrier task forces, BFT, or big fat target.

I have shown the intent, the preparation and the weapons our future enemies will use in a military attack on the domestic USA. As for time, with the exception of Taiwan, which may explode this spring, I still think we are several years away. Our enemies want to let us stew in our own juices, weaken our economy through terror attacks and the fiat dollar collapse and finally, show the American people just how incompetent our leadership is. The result of this will be the physical occupation of the continental USA. The method is to break our will as a people and destroy our culture. In that vein, I would include Bush and his "non amnesty" for ten to fifteen million illegals in the mix. The following represent a few of my thoughts on the how this attack will be done.

Many of you still don't think it is possible for the USA to be attacked. Even after Pearl Harbor and 9-11-2001, many of you have a mental block on the subject. So be it. I will just look at the issue, coldly, clinically and with a mind as to how our enemies plan to do it. The issue is best highlighted by a scene I saw in the 1970's "GodFather" television miniseries. I was living in Bellingham, Washington in 1978 and it was shown on Canadian television. One scene showed this very, very large Sicilian enforcer sitting down to eat. The other side decided to kill him the following way. First, they waited for him to be at his ease eating. Second, they used three men. Third, one man held his right arm down, the second his left arm down and the third choked him with a wire. It was the classic case of overkill. The deceased individual could have broken each of his attackers in half individually. Together, they were unbeatable.

The first principle is unified hatred and common action. My scenario envisions several years of state directed, untraceable, "Islamic terrorism" against the USA. We are weak, frightened and ill prepared for the massive blow planned against us. We have scattered our precious military resources willy nilly all over the world in our war on terror. Our debt based economy is in shambles. Sound familiar? He who defends everything, defends nothing. I can think of more than nine nations which would attack us, and many more who would watch silently. It is not much of a stretch to assume our enemies will unite in their method, if not their reasons. Hatred of the USA is the glue which will hold them together. No doubt they will fight over the spoils like vultures, but that is for the future. For the moment, they will unify to destroy the USA.

The key military doctrine is unified, timed action. What is commonly called a First Strike, or a surprise attack. The advantage always goes to the attacker in this scenario. The attacker chooses the time, the
place and the method of attack. It is this which gives them their chance to destroy the USA with the first blow. If the blow is massive enough, effective enough and widespread enough, the US military will cease to exist as an effective fighting force in one hour. In the ruthless logic of total war, this is what is planned by our enemies. The issue then becomes is this First Strike plausible? The answer is yes for the following reasons.

Over the last few years we have reduced our number of targets. If one nuclear missile were dropped on the following targets on the west coast of the US: Everet Naval Base, Bremerton Naval Shipyard, Trident
Submarine base, Fort Lewis, Yakima Firing Range, San Diego shipyard and naval base, Camp Pendelton, Fort Carson, Nellis Air Force Base, Klamath Air Base and International Airports in major cities, any military response would be crippled instantly. You can do similar lists for the East and Gulf Coasts. Take out Camp Lejune and the marines are destroyed. Take out Norfolk and the Atlantic fleet ceases to exist. In an instant the military infrastructure is vaporized. A few nukes as EMP weapons and you instantly destroy our advantages in communication. Attack our space based systems and we lose our ability to target. The list goes on and on. So yes, multiple, timed, sequential attacks on the dozens of prime military targets inside the USA would cripple us instantly. Ah you say, scramble the bombers. Well, we don't have any nuclear equipped bombers anymore. Our land based missile capacity will be sharply reduced by 2007. As for our nuclear equipped subs, well now, why do you think the Russians are building those underground cities in the Urals? Do you think they will care if we waste a few million peasants in Moscow or Beijing? Once you understand how these people think, things get really depressing.

As for our forces deployed overseas, they are toast. Having lost our ability to resupply them by air or sea, they will either be left to rot or overwhelmed in place. In my scenario, 9 of our 12 aircraft carrier groups are sunk by sunburst missiles, high speed torpedoes and SU-27 bombers in one hour. If you think that is not possible, or reasonable, or militarily feasible, I suggest you go take a cold shower and wake up. It is a surprise attack after all. In the movie, "Sum of all fears" they had a scene where the carrier is surprise attacked by Russian bombers. It will be like that. The fleet will be sailing ignorantly along until the final thirty seconds. And then they will die. In place, in treachery and instantly. Why do you think the Russians are building these weapons, and the Chinese buying them, if they do not intend to use them? Hasn't a Chinese General already said they will nuke Los Angeles if we try and help Taiwan? Like I said before, the attack may be surprise, but the decade long preparations for it are not. The information on the military buildup by both Russia and Red China is out there for anyone to see if they want to. Throw in North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia(both will collapse in a few years) and a host of others, along with European apathy and you have the makings for the instant military defeat of the USA.

Ah, you say, we will do the "Red Dawn" routine. Irregular resistance prequires three things. The first is a major power willing to supply the rebels for its own political purposes. The second is it needs a secure base of operations to regroup. The third is must have the support of 10% of the general population and the apathy of the other 90%. You have no idea how vicious, nasty, brutal and effective the Chinese and Russians will be against any "patriots." My view is the rest of the world will ignore us, most of the people in the United States will accept the new order and the few that resist will have limited ability to influence things on the ground.

So there you have it. My view of where everything we call the current situation is heading in the near to long term. The reason I despise Clinton so much is not he is a sexual predator and a boor. It is he allowed the Red Chinese to improve the accuracy of their missiles; gave them the computers to test their missiles and finally, gave them billions in free trade to buy the very weapons they will use to kill us down the road. As for Bush, his recon plane folly has given the Red Chinese the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle in terms of electronic warfare and communications. The West has consistently ignored clear evidence of a Russian military buildup in the nuclear area, the building of underground bases and the storage of vast amounts of military supplies withdrawn from Europe. People will ask where the Russian army will get ten thousand tanks in its present condition. I will say their present condition masks the money being spent to maintain the underground bases full of tanks. Won't we all be surprised when thousands of tanks, artillery pieces and armored troop transports suddenly supply the "collapsed" Russian army. Unlike the USA, they won't have to build them. These weapons of war already exist in the underground bunkers the USA doesn't admit the Russians have. It has been said of Russia, all it is capable of doing is destroy the world. We will find out later in the this decade or early next.

When I was younger I saw a comedy movie called, "Here Come The Russians." I'm not laughing now. The new version is Here come the Russians, the Chinese, the North Koreans, the Cubans, the Venezuelans, the Syrians, the Pakistanis and the Saudis. One by one, we could take them. They will unify out of hatred for the USA. They will come. They will attack us. The only issue is whether enough Americans will bother to fight them after our military is destroyed in the first strike. George Washington and his dream come to mind. We shall see soon enough.

Note: I read two items yesterday that caused me to worry through the night and into the morning.
First a quote from Buckminster Fuller:

"Hoping to protect their anticipated very high prices when World War II came along, and all unbeknownst to the general public, all the U.S. metals owners in 1939 were selling all their scrap metal to Germany and Japan only to have it fired back at America two years later when World War II did come along for the United States"

Let me see now, who has been buying all the scrap lately; the scrap from the world trade center and all the scrap nickel coins from former European currencies; Oh yeah, that would be CHINA! Is history
repeating itself?

And then this:

"Credible or not, speculation abounds about the real causes of inflation here. Hsu wonders if the People's Liberation Army is not stocking up in preparation for war against Taiwan."

Hmmm...

And then the another bit of the Bucky quote:

"Copper is the most plentiful of non-sparking metals and is therefore logically employed in connection with gunpowder-handling equipment such as the shells inserted into the gun breeches."

Of course I already know that copper and tin make brass for cartridges and copper and lead make jacketed bullets; and these three metals are the ones in tightest supply due to stockpiling in China.

You can't really blame the Chinese for taking our dollars and spending them as fast as they can for real assets; but it is not good if they are choosing the assets used for war. The frantic pace at which these
metals are being accumulated is perhaps the scariest thing. It is as if someone is in a terrible hurry to get themselves prepared for a really big war.
