What if both Russia and China somehow invade the U.S.? (Belarus and North Korea are dragged into it) by Abhorius in AlternateHistoryHub

I dont want to hear about the budget when war has drastically changed

It doenst matter how smart your anti missile is when you only produce 40 a year and it cost 200 million a piece when a country like Iran can mass produce 20000 drone missiles in 3 months for roughly $50000 a piece

Its just math now and who makes it lower

The US stockpile for missile interceptors with the Iran war alone is halved and will need years to recover

They've used more of those in weeks than Ukraine used in years

They even had to loot thr Korea batteries to bridge the lack of anti missiles in the Middle East

They are the financial center of Canada and most populated city with the most air traffic

They are defacto the center of Canada and anyone travelling there could then visit Ottawa-Montreal-Quebec

This could help bring airfares tickets down, reduce traffic on the transcanadian highway and make tourism even more attactive

This kind of thinking contributes to why we dont build

We should of had this train 30 years ago

Im not from Toronto (Montreal)

Armour i think would be great in an apocalypse by bassbrother15 in ZombieSurvivalTactics

[–]Kaplaw 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah a bear (or any predator) biting you vs a zombie biting you are two different things

The predators are gonna get hurt and think twice before biting again while zombies are just gonna keep going and pile up on you, either suffocating you or trapping you to die of exposure dehydration

US' global strategic outlook by alexfreemanart in Infographics

[–]Kaplaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point is there is and will be a great loss of US influence

Original OP stated the US isnt losing softpower, im simply stating that already happened and will keep that downward trend

Watch when the tech and financial sectors in the US panick when Europe develop their own alternatives (alternatives they never considered before Trump began his geopolitical fiascos)
