What is the Real Reason Behind the Downgrade of Our Military?
During the Obama years, it was clear how the left really felt about our military. And I think that has a lot to do with why it is being downgraded.
The left has always had a love hate relationship with our military. The democrats use it for pretty much the same reason they use the minority community…to win elections. Every election cycle, they tell us how much they love and support our troops but stop supporting them after winning their election. All you have to do is look at the conditions in the VA during the Obama years. And their treatment of veterans when it comes to mental health is absolutely disgraceful, even going so far as to deny them their 2nd Amendment right by claiming veterans are mentally unstable.
For decades the democrats have despised our armed forces, because most of military personal are very patriotic people, and take their oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic very seriously. Find me one left leaning politician who takes their oath of office seriously. They recite the oath when being sworn into office but leave it at the doorstep just before stepping through the threshold. And that’s because the oath of office, the Constitution and our patriotic military are counter to the goals of the left.
The United States Armed Forces have been the most feared throughout almost all of the last 100 years. That’s because a free-market system buys and/or builds the best weapons on the planet…bar none. If you disagree with me on this point, tell me why China and other communist adversaries have sent their spies over here, for decades to steal our technology. It’s because we have the most advanced weaponry around!
That brings me to the actual point of this writing. I’ve wondered many times, since the disaster of the Afghanistan withdrawal last summer, why $85BILLION worth of our advanced weaponry (belonging to the taxpayers of the United States) was left over there. Now, don’t tell me that it’s because we just couldn’t get to it, or those items were nothing of real importance. Here is the full list from August of 2021 that the NY Post did. We are not talking about just a few things folks…we are talking about BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in advanced weaponry. The amount of hardware left over there is enough to deplete our ability to defend our country over here, quite considerably!
The left-wing brass in the military are taking an unprecedented stand against religion (specifically Christianity) within the ranks. Many of our best and brightest are being weeded out with the China virus vaccine. When they apply for a religious exemption to avoid the clot shot, it puts a target right on their backs.
So all of this begs the question….why is the Biden Administration depleting our military? We continue sending billions of dollars in high end military equipment to Ukraine, when inflation is out of control here. The Biden Administration continues depleting our strategic oil supply by sending millions of barrels of oil to Europe claiming that it’s Putin’s fault. This supply was started after the 1973-1974 oil embargo for US consumption in the event of another emergency disruption. It was not intended to bail Europe out…again. Here is a great piece from oilprice.com regarding how our oil reserves could be depleted by as much as 50% in the next 10 years. It also mentions that these releases of oil have little to no effect on stabilizing prices.
Add the $85 billion in military hardware, deliberately left in Afghanistan to the billions in additional military equipment and strategic oil reserves being sent overseas to Ukraine and Europe. Take those numbers and tack on massive inflation and the fact that military personnel are being targeted for termination based on religion, and you start to ask yourself why our country is being deliberately weakened, and what the hell this administration has in store for us here at home. Because it really doesn’t look like they want to play nice!
