We are not going to remove 100,000 troops. That is as much or more of the total there. We should apply leverage to lock in basing and overflight rights to our liking. Also Greenland and Diego Garcia. The new Army roles should be based on defense and air defense. Most of the rest of the Army can come home.
Are we really going to let Denmark and the EU tell us what to do for our national security when they won't even let us fly over their nations, let alone use our bases in their countries, while we are exterminating a nuclear threat that can reach the very countries denying our flyover rights?
Give me a break.
And honestly, Russia may be a better partner than Europe anyways. Imagine the geographic coverage of the world if the US and Russia actually worked together economically and created a positive relationship. With those two countries working together, I don't think the sun would ever set. That's how far ranging the geography is.
You are exactly correct on Russia. I think it will happen.
Also, missing from the discussion is playing out the scenario that Iran did get nuclear weapons. There would be a nuclear war between Iran and Israel. And Pakistan might throw in a few nukes. There is no MAD with Iran because they want to go out with a blaze of glory to get the 12th Imam.
30% of the oil production comes from the Middle East. And that would be a long term hit. Over $200 oil for a long time. Not $100 oil for a few months.
And we should also look at the global strategic plays taking place against CHYNA right now.
Boot the Chinese out of controlling the Panama Canal. ✅
Remove China and Cuba's cheap, unsanctioned oil from Venezuela. ✅
Cut off 20% of China's oil supply from Iran. ✅
Pre-plan with the Arab Gulf states to align with the US, not the EU or Iran, and set up oil distribution that does not rely on the Straight of Hormuz. ✅
Blockade Iran and destroy its oil system, further eroding China's supply. ✅
Demonstrate the Paper Tiger nature of NATO and call their bluff. Provide sound reasons for leaving NATO. ✅
Set the US up for massive global energy demands and become a top supplier for the world's energy needs. ✅

I second Greenland and Diego Garcia.
