The Trump administration lied about the extent of the damage to US bases done by Iranian strikes.
An 80 year old plane successfully bombed a US base.
US personnel had to abandon US bases at the start of the war. Why did we leave these bases so vulnerable?

Trump’s threats on Greenland have shifted Europe away from the United States: militarily, diplomatically, and economically. Chinese businesses are getting business instead of the US because of Trump’s unethical threat to steal Danish territory with military force.

Throughout history, even before it became a global superpower, the United States fought to defend the freedom of the seas. If Iran forces the US to accept an extortionary toll on the Strait of Hormuz, it will be a great blow to the US-led order that allows trade across international waters without heavy fees enforced by deadly power.
Control of the Strait gives Iran control over the price of oil. If they want the price higher, they let fewer ships through.

Mali is losing territory to Islamist and terrorist forces. Russia has forces there helping the government, but they are failing to prevent this. Mali’s government previously rejected Western help in favor of Russia.

On one hand, Europe isn’t helping the US in the Strait with naval power because of Trump’s atrocious behavior toward Europe. On the other hand, Europe has let their navies so atrophy, that they have no ships to send!

The A10 is an obsolete aircraft. It has found a role against weaker enemies, but in a peer-to-peer conflict, the aircraft is not survivable. At this point, it’s not worth the costs to keep it around. It shouldn’t be replaced with a one-to-one aircraft. It’s role of close-ground support where the craft flies just 200 feet above the ground is not survivable in modern combat against peer-to-peer competitors.
It may be worth keeping around while the US industrial base takes forever to build new aircraft. It can fight drones in the meantime and even launch long-range missiles from the air. In a fight against China, the US will need all the long-range air missile launchers it can get.

Trump seems oblivious to the problem of people with insider knowledge betting on actions of the US military or events affected by actions of the US military. Our adversaries can watch these markets and get tipped off ahead of time!
