i can only assume that's why the war hasn't begun yet... but even still, as time goes on the situation isn't likely to get any better for the US

The new plan seems to be tactically retreating to the western hemisphere where the US can "reestablish dominance" and build up capabilities to (we can assume) eventually rechallenge China. lenin-dont-laugh

This is the Trump corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, recently codified so clearly in the National Security Strategy. After years of neglect, the United States will restore U.S. military dominance in the Western Hemisphere. We will use it to protect our homeland and access to key terrain throughout the region.

We will also deny adversaries' ability to position forces or other threatening capabilities in our hemisphere. Past administrations perpetuated the belief that the Monroe Doctrine had expired. They were wrong. The Monroe Doctrine is in effect and it is stronger than ever under the Trump corollary, a common sense restoration of our power and prerogatives in this hemisphere consistent with U.S. interests.

Nice to be at the "we checked their tech, production, and military scores and realized we've been out-simmed" stage of civilization

99.000 dollars for the hypersonic missile, 1/20 or even 1/40th of cost of Tomahawk missile, depending on version.
