Biden's 2.5 War Mess
"Two and a Half War Strategy" made America superpower. This strategy sustained a US-hegemony for half a century. In the end, it disintegrated Soviet Union but began to self-destruct America too.
America dominated the world with the 2.5 war strategy for about 40 years. With the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1992, the strategy became a relic. Unfortunately, Globalists in Wash DC, ever since, are in denial. As a result, now the world is face to face with Joe Biden's 2.5 war mess.
ELDERLY ABUSE IN AMERICA
There has been an elderly abuse of Joe Biden since 2020. We have been watching this past three years and cringing about his helplessness. It is a tragedy but also inhuman.
However, American system has no provision to end his torture until election day in November 2024. Otherwise, US-laws would determine it is an elderly abuse crime.

Legacy of Elderly Abuse
The 46th President of America, Joe Biden cannot be expected to make the right decisions for America. As an abused elderly that is not possible.
Moreover, what is worse, he does not even realize that he is being abused. That means his faculties are not properly functioning.
As a result, it is natural that Biden would seek today, something odd like, 2.5 war strategy of the past. His state of cognizance is altogether kaput.
Not the Biggest Economy Anymore
America in 2023 is not the biggest economy in the world anymore. By all accounts, the EU and China have equal or bigger economies.
China is growing by leaps and bounds. It is projected to grow double in size compared to the economy in America within a decade.
When the 2.5 war strategy was configured and applied, America controlled about 40 percent of the global GDP. Now, it controls 15 percent or less.
Based on this arithmetic alone, America today cannot even have think fighting an efficient war, never mind 2.5 of them.
Still the Sole Military Superpower
The sole military superpower status of America today comes by default. Since the Soviet Union lost the superpower status.
Ironically, America ever since had responsibility to fulfill expectations across Planet Earth. Since 1992, America did not have the will or capacity to fill this vacuum.
Alternatively, still-the-sole-military-superpower had to align itself with the rising powers of the East. America also ignored this changing international dynamic.
For example, in Libya, President Donald Trump wisely kept America out of the mess. Biden, instead, aggravated numerous rising powers of the East.
FRENCH EXAMPLE
France, for example, was tested in the Mediterranean Sea. It made the mistake of sending its most advanced frigate to venture east of Creete. After that, the French navy also conducted naval exercises in the Aegean.
Both were fatalistic for France. Turkiye noted the shortcomings of the French navy. As a result, it became Carte Blanche for Turkiye to make intrusive moves in Africa at the expense of France. In short, France never realized the game.
LESSON FOR BIDEN
Unfortunately for Biden’s America, no lesson was drawn from the French debacle. Today, sending flattops to the eastern Mediterranean Sea carry similar risks for America. The Sixth Fleet is sure to be tested.
One of two things may happen, as a result. The worst, antagonists, be it China or Russia, may note how to counter the US navy elsewhere. Turkiye with superior electronic warfare would surely make it a no-win for America.

Ukraine and Israel: Sacrificial Lambs
Unfortunately for America, Joe Biden is the current president. Worse news, what has been diplomatic and economic loss to date may now turn into military catastrophe.
In two years, Ukraine became an entangled diplomatic and economic problem for America. Nowadays, add to that the Israeli debacle, with no relief in sight.
Desperate Biden Administration may now feel cornered. Making Urkanians or Israelis sacrificials lambs is one thing. Playing with American lives is another.
