The Pentagon spends a lot of time, effort and money using computer-simulated “war games” (as well as actual physical exercises using airplanes, ships, submarines, etc.).
The latest Pentagon scandal is that — after spending vastly more money on the military than any other nation on earth (and more than many potential adversaries combined), the Pentagon says the U.S. would NOT win wars against Russia or China.
The Establishment’s solution is to spend EVEN MORE money on the military, even though this strategy has failed.
The REAL SOLUTION is to STOP PROMOTING WAR ALTOGETHER. We must work for REAL GLOBAL PEACE.
