John, given the universal shock/outrage over Afghanistan, could this be the regeneracy event? Or is an attack on the homeland absolutely necessary?

Dude, where do you come up with this stuff?

......

There are enough real dangers in the future that need to be looked at that ridiculous proclamations like this aren't just unhelpful, they're detrimental by sucking up attention.
This is a slight variation on the well-worn: "that opinion is dangerous" and the justification tech oligarchs use to "shut it down", or silence dissent. Maybe John will fall for it or not, have to wait and see. Nice try though.

America is retreating in the same way empires such as Spain, Portugal, Britain and the Dutch have. That is a GD prediction you can count on. The current catastrophe in Afghanistan is "Saigon on steroids", as a reporter put it. People like you get emotional about it and go into denial as part of your 7 stages of grief. Your anger is understandable as well. You know deep down what I say is probably true so you aim to "shut it down", much like the monkey who covers his ears. It's true that defeatism is infectious, so a wise commander would put the kibosh on fear and hesitancy on the part of his troops. Maybe you think you're accomplishing that in your small and pathetic way.

There are plenty of warrior class who are angry about the Biden Debacle as you are, angry about America's retreat on the world stage. Angry that anyone can say America could be defeated or run from a fight. For many warriors that is true, but not for the plurality. Not enough to save this dying corpse of a country.

Looters gonna loot, and they will strip the corpse clean while those in denial, the minority, fight to the last bullet and get marched off to Bataan. They also fought to the last bullet and lost.

No, absolutely not. Believe me, when an ACTUAL regeneracy event
occurs, you won't have to ask.

Isn't the population of India still going up? Isn't the population of Africa still going up? The population of white Americans has gone down by almost 10% in the past 10 years.
Yes, but they are far more fragile - much less adaptive. Even with their backs against the wall (and ultimately the "world" will destroy the overwhelming majority) people of Eurasian decent and even moreso those of european descent will find a way, that's how they evolved.
You say that the powers that be are targeting everyone. "Everyone is a target."

You also say that Indians and Africans are less adaptive. "they are far more fragile - much less adaptive."

If the powers that be are targeting everyone and Indians and Africans are less adaptive, shouldn't the Indian and African populations be going down faster then the population of white Americans?
Yes, and of course, we are talking about geopolitics and time frame. Your logic is correct, but the stressors aren't large enough, yet. That's sorta what this forum is about, btw.

In addition, US troops forced to fight without air support are cowards. This was seen in Gulf War I and II, where platoons would just hide in cover and call in air strikes whenever they encountered heavy resistance. When the air support isn't there, US troops will melt away, just as the Afghans did this weekend when US and allied air support disappeared.
This is one of the most ignorant postings I've ever seen. If you're an American, which I'm starting to doubt, I'm embarrassed for you.

Why WOULDN'T troops wait until conditions for success were optimized to proceed? In the absence of extraordinary conditions, you ALWAYS optimize your chances for success before engaging. To do otherwise is the definition of foolhardiness. What the hell do you expect?

"Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred."

Admit it, you're a foreign troll.

If I understand, you are saying the stressors on white Americans were large enough to reduce their population over the past 10 years. But the stressors on Indians and Africans aren't large enough, yet, to reduce their populations.

If that is right, what are the stressors white Americans have been facing that Indians and Africans have not yet faced?

Nihilism. DaKaardi said that once and I didn't get it. But it stayed with me.
Answer is nihilism. They don't want kids.

Is nihilism a stressor? It seems more like an attitude toward life. A stressor might be lack of food or war.

Today, my manager (I work in Seoul) told me that while watching news about the fall of Kabul, she felt that this is what America would do to South Korea. That is the mood here now. I can imagine the Taiwanese are even more afraid. A few of my co-workers talked about this too. They asked me what I thought the Americans would do under Biden. I told them I don't know.

That's the mood here now.

I wonder if this is what Biden was paid by the Chinese to do? Or is this also 4D chess...
