Two fresh grand strategic architectures are emerging to cultivate lawful order in the gathering of nations:
- protect your Motherland, ensure contentment among the generality of Her children, along with their safety from pests, and
- the great powers — so far Russia, India, The USofA, and China — must cooperate in lawful proceedings to protect equally the peace of all nations.
The title of this post is our starting point:
US / NATO’s Ancient Doctrine, Obsolete Equipment, Industrial Incapacity, and Intellectual Corrosion.
US / NATO doctrine and force structure is 80 years past pull date. US / NATO equipment is at best 30 years past pull date. US / NATO industrial base fosters private financiers and their industrialist minions, not NATO nations and their sovereign freedoms. US / NATO TOEs1 are appropriate only for suicide by cop. US / NATO lost the so-called arms race to Russia in the 1950s and to China in the 2010s.
The Russian SMO against US / NATO in the borderlands (so-called Ukraine) — as well as Arab-Iranian responses to Jewish and nominally Christian Zionism — has forced some NATO personnel to scrutinize at least some of their assumptions.2 So far, these NATO personnel examine only their more superficial assumptions. Scrutiny of deeper ones will occur in time because reality is persistently omnipotent.
Notwithstanding, most active-duty US / NATO personnel today cannot draw equal with, much less surpass, their Russian, Indian, or Chinese counterparts with respect to strategic and operational doctrine and weaponry required to give those effect. They are too far behind especially the Russians ever to catch up. Copious and palpable evidence attests the intellectual, moral, and material inferiority of most US / NATO personnel to their Russian counterparts. Ever more so are most active-duty US / NATO personnel behind also their Chinese and Indian counterparts. US / NATO have irretrievably lost the so-called Arms Race. A feeble old criminal pervert who walks sadly alone into the jungle, this is the US / NATO today.
In fact, this condition is a blessing in disguise. Never look a gifted horse in the mouth.3 Now NATO can disband, European nations can be friendly with Eurasians, with whom Europeans share a continent, and The USofA, a great power, can be friendly with Eurasia’s great powers: Russia, India, and China.
As the light of self-scrutiny grows ever more intense, the two deepest assumptions which now shake and must soon shatter inside US / NATO are (1) that they know their raison d’être as a military force and (2) that they can function as a proper, effective military force without their industrial base being state property. Neither of these assumptions is consistent with reality.
US / NATO, in fact, operate in a moral, spiritual, and material vacuum with no real means of support. Propaganda is not a proper force. It supports exactly nothing because its content is not real. Ultimately, propaganda not any force at all. It helps no one and hurts everyone.
One by one, the NATO nations must quit the vacuum NATO is in order to provide for their own homeland defense and thus, one way and another, restore their sovereign national freedoms. Each nation has three assets to activate in the direction of that salutary objective: Diplomacy, Finance, Warfighting.
The best homeland defense is an orderly border and friendly relations with all and sundry other nations. Homeland defense is in. Transnational domination is out.
These admirals won’t be able to fix the problems they identify because (1) their awareness hasn’t reached the backend of their problems, they lag in good character and intellectual horsepower, (2) they face enormous resistance for just daring to consider going down the road of genuine and general fixes, and (3) they don’t realize — and perhaps don’t want to realize, because they have sticky fingers (?) — that their industrial base is interested in itself, not the sovereign success of their respective progenitor and host NATO nations, who award them contracts.4
The industrial base of most NATO nations is dedicated to endless ramping of income aggregation for private satisfactions of financiers and their industrialist minions. Whereas military men measure industrial success as the provision of combat effectiveness to effect sound military doctrine, financiers and their industrialist minions measure industrial success as perpetually upward-trending profit on their balance sheets and inside their stock advisories. These objectives are incompatible. We see the incompatibility in the fact that modern US / NATO weapons and doctrine — TOEs — succumb to their modern Russian counterparts5 whereas the modern US / NATO industrial base simply rolls in the dough — and pays off Members of Congress and Administrations to keep it coming, dressing up the fleece in a rhetoric of patriotic altruism.
In US / NATO, financiers / industrialists have won.
Soldiers / Admirals have lost.
Still, discission is underway!
This means correction is!
Roll Tide!
There is a distinction between real, mutual interests and merely geopolitical ones. US real, mutual interests are all on the American Continent. Elsewhere, US interests are merely geopolitical — messing around in other people’s affairs — and, thank God, no longer enforceable or tolerable much less justifiable. There’s the truth the DC circuit, and their friends around the NATO-Euro-American Bloc, refuse to get through their heads. They don’t want to hear it. Their obduracy causes their dis-ease — and that of US-Americans and other nations altogether — as well as their demise. NEVER INSIST unless you are in a position of command that you have in security and can maintain.
