Re: [Salon] Kavanagh: US Army likely to shrink under Hegseth DoD



Not to worry, war against Russia in Europe will be fought with OPM (Other People's Military), as it's the Navy, Air Force, and Space Force as the "Lead Agencies" in U.S. Modern War Doctrine:  https://www.defensenews.com/news/your-military/2025/04/14/trump-signs-shipbuilding-order-as-navy-leaders-call-for-381-ship-fleet/?utm_campaign=dfn-ebb&utm_medium=email&utm_source=sailthru
BLUF: "Navy leaders assessing the shipbuilding aspirations, meanwhile, are pushing for, among other items, a robust annual output of ballistic and fast attack submarines to counter near-peer threats in potential conflict areas like the Indo-Pacific and Arctic."

That's Russia and China, which our Realists/post-Liberals are well aware of as the wars they promote, and as the post-Liberal Simone Weil Center which some are prominent in promotes:


With this email list well represented there as well as with the NatCons, as can be seen with its Board:

Jen Kavanagh crunches the numbers and determines that to meet Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s budgetary and strategic goals, the U.S. Army will have to shrink, and the number of U.S. ground forces in Europe is likely to decline sharply. The Trump administration should not apologize for these changes, she adds, because they are badly needed and will better align U.S. military commitments with the country’s security priorities and available resources. 



all the best
