退伍军人的尊严

星期天 ，玩《华尔街日报》的论坛，跟了个俄乌战争的评论，延申到中美台海局势, 史学大家Kotkin的看法

 

You are not that far off about his view of war with China over Taiwan.

 

He even used a rather provocative word "incinerate", as in context "China incinerate America" in one of his YouTube talks.

 

Real life or Realism, the "silly balloon with freight cars size camera" flew over ICBM silo, B2 bomber airbase, Kansas City, Columbia, St.Louis, towards Washington along I-70. That changed some people's mind, not necessarily all from state of Missouri.

 

有个退伍军人回帖

 

• Thank you for reminding us how much the U.S. Military is not succeeding at protecting the U.S. A lot of us vets are so embarrassed, we can't even come up with the right words.

  只好回帖

  Most honorable comment from a vet since Feb, 2023.

  Thank you for your service.

   

  以后不再英文论坛上讨论这个话题了。哪些个邪恶政客要毁灭这个世界，保家卫国的军人何辜。

   

  Kotkin 是苏俄史大家。他在讲话中谈到中国把整个美国烧成灰，当然不是乱说。当年有个退伍军人用一俩搬家皮卡的化肥，炸平了俄克拉荷马州的联邦大楼。他们当然知道拜登口中的“两节车皮重载的傻逼气球”飞临圣路易意味什么。

   

  拜登一上任，就秘密驻军台湾，然后慢慢公开，温水煮青蛙，一定要中美军事摊牌，结果圣路易气球，一翻两瞪眼。

   

  中美关系回不去了。Kotkin 讲话是对一个退休投资俱乐部说的，说的含蓄，意思一点也不含蓄：中国可以把整个美国烧成灰，退休账户算个屁。
