I think those are the objectives, can't do that from a position of weakness though... that said its impossible to gauge what's already been agreed to behind the scenes, we're just watching the scripted version
5GW isn't about invading armies and artillery anymore, otherwise our navy alone off the shores would have us covered. Space, cyber, info and clandestine ops are the modern battlespace and why posturing is still needed.
Smaller countries for example wouldn't need to invade if they can sneak a suitcase nuke into a football stadium, EMP half the country with a drone, or unleash a bioweapon... everything is asymmetrical now.
I know that's the case people make, but I don't think interventionists have an impressive track record compared to non-interventionists.
It seems like everyone admits the non-interventionists were right eventually, but it takes decades and they never seem to change their minds about intervention in principle.
Until I see more compelling evidence, all those hypotheticals are just FUD to me.

Agreed but with more optimism, the Washington/Jackson/Lincoln/JFK levels of fight against Trump is his because he's weeding them out and "draining the swamp"
He's talked explicitly about the US being looted of blood and treasure with military intervention, that is the deep states doing... they're a well-resourced enemy funded by military industrial complex, foreign heads of state, and global finance, a dangerous animal needs to be trapped carefully... slow drip more devastating than a flood etc...
Feeling much better/accelerated trajectory this go around now that the wake up op has been running for ~8 years... enjoy the show and keep the popcorn handy.

I'm actually feeling more optimistic than I expected too, but it is mostly on the domestic front.

I hear you, things feel intentionally vague on the international front... I look forward to some future trade summit where Bitcoin becomes the world reserve currency and a bunch of treaties that hamstring the military industrial complex get ratified
Until then we'll have to settle for the fact that the Pentagon is seething and people like John Bolton have been exposed and the American people have been shown via Ukraine how our money gets stolen and laundered through fake wars

My bets are still on some Taiwan psyop though, maybe we need to lose something big (in a controlled fashion) to finish the cleanup

The more histrionics I see from the "Intelligence Community" the less concerned I am about these appointments.

Bingo... Trump talks about "central casting" all the time
The picks are all soft-power and comms, some of them might even be completely controlled as a condition of their arrests for sedition (next time you see a politician in a walking boot they're probably hiding an ankle monitor)
