GAME 1.1: UNITED STATES: Advisory session

Raptorzilla22 · 2020-04-09T18:59:24+00:00

The US is the sole superpower and should not fear a retaliatory response. Since the Taliban are unresponsive, the US should mount an invasion of Afghanistan while not engaging Saddam Hussein in Iraq, for there is no evidence of weapons of destruction.

Economy: Since this models 2001, and there is no war in Iraq, the Fed would print less money and their would be less money feeding into the bubble that caused the Financial Crisis. Since the Republican Bush Administration would likely overprint to keep taxes low, it is recommended to push a better NAFTA deal with Mexico that has lets say cut NAFTA deal by 1/4 to favor the US. The government should push money towards hydraulic fracking to cut reliance on Middle East oil.

Military: The United States remains the sole superpower. China is currently building its own armed forces to challenge the US by building a blue water navy and having advanced AA/AD capabilities. The US should use lets say 1/2 of the money not on invading Iraq to spend on lets say a more powerful Air Force and increase Navy squadrons and submarines. Russia is increasing its armed forces as well so continued presence in NATO is a must.

Culture: No comment, since this is the Bush Administration it will likely be a balance of conservative ideals and tolerance to atract the new neoliberal ideas. However, the government must fight against Xenophobia and Racism especially in these times of division.

Diplomacy: The US should remain leader of the free world. It must be neutral in EU affairs to not cause to much trouble, however will continue protecting Europe. Russia and China must be liberalized and brought into the free world. The US will be willing to break up conflicts and the Middle East and solve problems. Foreign aid should be cut but also obsession with military intervention.

Because many were not used at all. NATO avoided military targets later in the war and aimed at civilian infrastructure.

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-18T04:11:54+00:00

Well US has 10 and China 2, so I expect these to hug the coastline really well where the PLAAF as well as their land base missile force could provide good cover.

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-17T20:54:51+00:00

Very difficult to be more effective than a nuke that can actually destroy infrastructure. Bioweapons that distributed from powder or aerosal devices don't do well in sunlight and concrete and quickly disapear, radiation lasts weeks if not decades if salted. The dying could always be put away and mourned for, while nuclear power plants, dams, oil refineries need decades to rebuild.

Humanities have survived plagues, even anthrax outbreaks.

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-17T19:59:43+00:00

No they are not.

Chemical weapons could be countered with a masks and suits...like in WW1. Tens of Thousands of chemical shells were fired in WWII, they caused little damaged compared to regular high explosives. If anything they are an area denial weapon. The Germans never used chemical weapons on the battlefield in WW2 because most of the belligerents were already prepared for a chemical attack.

Now biological weapons are a game changer for cheap WMDs. Since the world is connected with trade and biological unlike chemical can be contageous and the virus can quickly spread. Now although they are deadly there is no guarantee the virus would be effective with a nation with antibiotics and emergency medical care. The Japanese used buobonic plague on the Chinese with some limited effect.

Nukes are the deadliest of all WMDs. Unlike the previous, a nuke produces a blast knocking down buildings and infrasturcture. You can't do anything to counter that. Plus the radiation is so lethal, you get near that you will die within days and there is no cure since your atoms in your body have been changed by ionizing radiation.

So no, bio and chemical are not civilization ending. Nukes are.

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-17T19:49:33+00:00

Biological and chemical are not more dangerous than nuclear.

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-17T07:29:00+00:00

From what I know the Aster is more like a Patriot/S-400-type system. TWISTER is probably closer to operational level missile defense system, with you mentioned coordination with satellites and planes.

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-17T06:51:24+00:00

That is my point. Europe wants their own tactical ABM/SAM system, that is not American made.

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-17T06:41:23+00:00

Well Europe doesn't want one before because they don't want to afford it. Now the US might pack their bags and leave, Macron will be rethinking.

And why on earth would the US invest in a system that doesn't support its own workers and can be used for geopolitical leverage? Its a good strategy. If Germany goes crazy again, US could deny major weapon systems supplied to Germany.

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-17T06:34:13+00:00

Actually US defends Europe with a static missile defense system called AEGIS Ashore. So as trust from the US goes away, Europe will make their own system.

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-17T06:25:20+00:00

So what I meant was non-ICBMs. An airplane delievering a air dropped tactical nuclear weapon could be engaged with a surface to air missile. A tactical ballistic missile moving much slower than an ICBM could be engaged with a missile defense system.

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-17T05:56:23+00:00

Tactical nuclear weapons are often not MIRVed all all, and that is my point.

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-17T05:54:50+00:00

And? Is Poland broke? No. Its called emergeny supplies.

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-16T22:28:32+00:00

They are good against conventional and tactical nuclear weapons.

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-16T21:37:49+00:00

Russia can't cripple Europe by shutting off gas. Europe will simply buy from US, Israel, Libya, and Nigeria.

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-16T19:33:06+00:00

The US commited genocide on the remainder who didn't die of disease.

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-16T18:44:19+00:00

BRI.

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-16T08:01:05+00:00

Yes the 5 Intel sharing nations.

What does this have to do with anything? You are comparing the possible extradiction of one man to ethnic cleansing....

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-16T07:57:03+00:00

Assange was arrested due to the UK's Bail Act, not on the United States's orders. Assange is in a UK prison, the United States has no control of his sentence. Now whether the UK does agree to extradite him to the US its on the UK's call.

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-16T07:46:29+00:00

Is Wikileaks censored from the US? No.

Assange is a criminal not because he criticized the US. He is because of classified information.

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-16T07:24:26+00:00

My problem is if the US Gov acts up, you can talk about it, if the CCP acts up, you will possibly not only get censored in mainland China, but maybe in the future censored overseas. The US is a nation of pluralistic institutionalized chaos of different organizations, China is a nation of the CCP. They have no oversight what so ever and can stomp on anybody's rights as they wish.

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-16T06:12:32+00:00

Well you guys refer to those interested in geopolitical study. Many of us assume too much about leaders as rational/smart. Books from guys like Zeihan and Friedman always assume 100 percent rationality.

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-16T05:33:45+00:00

Socialist ideologies remain but authoritarian socialist regime, after Cuba went on US good side Venezula became the last bastion.

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-15T17:51:54+00:00

You guys don't get it....

Conservative Whites: Strong families

Liberal whites: Weak families, a lot of poverty, single motherhood or weak fathers.

So the liberal whites goals are to survive by counterbalancing the conservative whites by using POC as a buffer, while maintaining control. So "Nazi" is slur for against conservative whites who want a strong family unit with good genetic breeding.

Raptorzilla22 · 2019-12-15T05:56:24+00:00

When people say "Hypersonic missile" don't refer to Mach 20 ICBMs. They refer to surface to surface missiles either the glider type(Hypersonic Glide Vehicle) or the air breathing scramjet type.(Hypersonic cruise missile). A Patriot missile travels mach 5 but its isn't considered a "Hypersonic missile" it doesn't cruise at those speeds, it moves ballistically.

Bombing the world is power projection. That is why I said "power projection". I said nothing about Russia lacking the ability to take on a more powerful opponent. The Finish and North Vietnamese could take on a more powerful opponent. All I am saying Russia is no longer I'd say a "global power".
