    and any perception of military strength.

    As someone who isn’t American, I assure you no one globally thinks the Americans actually have any military strength.

    They’re a paper tiger. They just have a lot of money. Their training sucks, their troops suck, their military strategy sucks… Everything about the US military is arguably terrible except for money.

      Why do so many non-American countries buy weapons from and train with Americans?

      Are they stupid?

        I’m ex CAF. Sometimes you need a reminder how well trained you are as a fighting force by training next to someone who is inept as fuck. Training next to Americans really reminded us how well trained we were.

        And again, the American military is just money. Buying weapons and munitions is not the same as America deploying their Temu brand of military soldiers.
