I don’t think it’s too hyperbolic to say that we’re dangerously close to another world war. Russia invades Ukraine, daring us not to interfere. China’s salivating over Taiwan has never been more noticeable.
Even more evident is the US’s weakness as the events unfold. Joe Biden, a less powerful leader, has displayed incompetence long before he was elected. Biden is part of a radicalized party, which denies basic reality and promotes totalitarianism. These radicals use the state to abuse institutions and help authorities in their war against their countrymen. They destroy lives and decimate entire communities.
But if there’s one thing these radicals have created, it’s the idea that weakness is good. The most important thing is over-dependence on emotions and an emphasis on the politics of identity and skin-deep identities are key. It’s an idea that spread like a virus and it helped bring about the soft men that create hard times.
This softness spread all around, from our own military to our very own, where it culminated with one of the biggest signals our nation had gone soft that one has ever seen. The signal was simply advertised our armed force. The identity politics of the nation are at the forefront.
Wow.
It was first the woke CIA ad. Now it’s a super-woke woke animated Army recruitment ad featuring a gay wedding and a parade of LGBT rights. Women “breaking stereotypes” joining the largest murder machine in the world. pic.twitter.com/xDqP39EQei

Now compare this to Russia’s military ad. You won’t understand a word it says but you won’t need to. You’ll get the point.
Russia’s military isn’t out to promote identity politics or assist in some social agenda like America’s is. It makes it clear that it’s there to train hardened killers. This is translated into English in the advertisement.
“This is … the first day of your new life.”
“Here pain makes you stronger, scars are a daily occurrence … without an enemy there is no battle, and without a battle there is no victory. But in reality, the main enemy … is you, the you from yesterday.”
Which one would you pick if you were forced to choose between these armies for a future ground attack?
Leaders such as Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping can see this. They’re watching us, and I don’t mean the military. They’re monitoring the status of the American people, our feelings, our likes and dislikes, our cultural preferences, and the state of our national morale.
They see a nation at war from the top with itself. Our media keeps us at each other’s throats as activist groups fan the flames and reap the rewards. We’re a nation with an identity crisis from the individual to the federal. Our ideological divide is so wide that when the pendulum swings it does so to radical heights, but the end result is that we’ve never been less willing to do what’s necessary to protect ourselves in general.
The national debt is insurmountable and leaders do everything they can to increase it. They’re more concerned about identitarianism than making common-sense decisions. They want to take away both our guns and our freedom to speak.
With all of its weaknesses, woke culture has become our dominant culture. We live in fear of upsetting each other’s sensibilities. We’re far more concerned about destroying each other than fighting off those who would see us shattered.
Putin invading Ukraine was a natural consequence. China, of course, is flying into Taiwanese aviation space. Why wouldn’t they? They’ve never been better positioned to do so.
If things become more severe than we already are, I worry for the state of our nation and its ability to defend itself, and I don’t even necessarily mean our military. I mean our people’s willingness to fight for each other and our country. I don’t see our media, our leaders, or our societal influencers having the willpower to resist what may come our way.
Our will to fight is just as important as our ability to fight, and I don’t think we’re ready.
