What is the United States of America? A Military Democracy
by John Stanton
βMilitary leader, council, assembly of the people are the organs of gentile society developed into
military democracy β military, since war and organization for war have now become regular
functions of national life. Their neighbors' wealth excites the greed of peoples who already see
in the acquisition of wealth one of the main aims of life. They are barbarians: they think it more
easy and in fact more honorable to get riches by pillage than by work. War, formerly waged only
in revenge for injuries or to extend territory that had grown too small, is now waged simply for
plunder and becomes a regular industry. Not without reason the bristling battlements stand
menacingly about the new fortified towns; in the moat at their foot yawns the grave of the gentile
constitution, and already they rear their towers into civilization and similarly in the interior. The
wars of plunder increase the power of the supreme military leader and the subordinate
commandersβ¦β Frederick Engels, Origins of the Family, Private Property, and the State
βThe label full spectrum dominance implies that US forces are able to conduct prompt,
sustained,and synchronized operations with combinations of forces tailored to specific situations
and with access to and freedom to operate in all domainsβland, sea, air, space, and
information. Additionally, given the global nature of our interests and obligations, the United
States must maintain its overseas presence forces and the ability to rapidly project power
worldwide in order to achieve full spectrum dominance. Achieving full spectrum dominance
means the joint force will fulfill its primary purposeβ victory in warβas well as achieving
success across the full range of operations, but it does not mean that we will win without cost or
difficulty.β Joint Vision 2020, 2000
βThe United States must retain overmatchβthe combination of capabilities in sufficient scale to
prevent enemy success and to ensure that Americaβs sons and daughters will never be in a fair
fight. Overmatch strengthens our diplomacy and permits us to shape the international
environment to protect our interests. To retain military overmatch the United States must restore
our ability to produce innovative capabilities, restore the readiness of our forces for major war,
and grow the size of the force so that it is capable of operating at sufficient scale and for
example duration to win across a range of scenarios.β National Security Strategy of the United
States, 2017
So the United States wants to play hardball with China; and, naturally Russia, by resurfacing the
Cold War era doctrine of Containment, along with Nuclear Triad upgrades, a 500 ship US Navy,
new Long Range Bombersβand a replacement for the F-35β hypersonic weapons and, of
course, more bodies for the all-volunteer US military. That means more dollars have to be
funneled to the Pentagon and its suppliers. But there is more: US military initiatives in Artificial
Intelligence, Quantum Computing, Autonomous Combat Drones (undersea and air), Space
Based Weapons, and Synthetic Biology all add to the truckloads of dollars needed to take on
China and Russia, never mind North Korea and Iran.
