Russia doesn\u2019t have to respond in force to American bombs, and it doesn\u2019t have to engage the U.S. forces directly. All it has to do is outlast the Americans. That\u2019s all that Assad or a successor to him have to do.<\/p>\n

The Taliban has shown in Afghanistan that Americans can be defeated, just as Ho Chi Minh showed in Vietnam. Before that, both China and North Korea showed that American forces can be neutralized.<\/p>\n

America\u2019s leaders are living on myths of American superiority. Trump\u2019s shiny new and smart missiles are a graphic example of this kind of thinking, as is Obama\u2019s \u201cAmerican exceptionalism\u201d and Rumsfeld\u2019s \u201cshock and awe\u201d. They\u2019re all living in a dream world.<\/p>\n

America is committing suicide by degrees. Russia need only exercise patience as we kill ourselves. What are thought to be nickel and dime wars and engagements turn out to be long lasting sponges that soak up enormous resources. Russia and China need only wait.<\/p>\n

The U.S. government has outmoded second generation military forces that are incapable of conducting 4GW (fourth generation warfare). The U.S. leadership is poor. It doesn\u2019t think ahead. It focuses on unimportant side issues. It acts emotionally. It\u2019s motivated at times by moral considerations that are irrelevant, and then at other times it ignores moral issues that are of great importance. To top it off, the U.S. makes huge strategic blunders, as in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen and elsewhere. American taxpayers are stretched thin paying for expensive…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
