Looks like US started war on two fronts - in Europe with Russia and in Asia with China. We all know from history how starting a war on two fronts ends up for the invader.
Working within the system I have finally come to realize the reality of how the US military works.
The high ranking officers in whichever duty locations want to accomplish something during their time there. They want soldiers underneath them to help them accomplish things. If they have some of their soldiers being redeployed to another location that is higher priority they start getting complaints of not having enough people to achieve their task.
They start pushing their agenda to the right people to make it known that their mission is every bit, if not more important than those other locations. They pressure the media and give out information about how the enemy in their location is "such a threat". They want the world to focus on their location so they can get more funding/soldiers/power. So there is this constant barrage of information about threats to various areas that tend to be a bit blown up to serve the needs of our military.
If the US military was not all over the world, it is likely that these so-called "threats" would never make it to the national news. They might make it to local media and newspapers. And they are not really actual threats to the United States.
