The military was enshitified before Smegmeth got there. The current level of incompetency and impotency couldn’t have happened over night. It’s taken decades to hollow out. There was some foreshadowing for how the Iran War would go when Biden tried to get the navy to build a supply pier. They had to hire maritime contractors to do it since the navy apparently doesn’t have that vital capability anymore.
The fact of the matter is that Taiwan could easily handle being attacked since it already has a very capable military and invading a across a body of water is like the single hardest thing to pull off.
The US Navy is kept there on “guard duty” in order to burn money and enrich contractors. If it had any deterrence value then it certainly won’t after the Iran War.



You’re thinking of judicial murder. Putting this admin up against a wall would be summary self-defense.
