Thank your stars the USN is emaciated or at any rate incapable of overwhelming power projection when confronted by a peer navy & with facilities comprising their traditional MIC crumbling.What are these issues? Is it that native burgers don't want to do blue collar jobs of shipbuilding or something else?
I'd assume they're paid well even if its blue collar work
For when the final reckoning happens though we want the US to prevail , it should be thoroughly depleted not just of war fighting capabilities & capacities overseas but totally bereft of it .
For that too happen their economy must tank as well thus opening up chasms in their society which is already seeing emergence of multiple fault lines , deepening by the day .
Do remember after WW-2 Europe was a sh!thole . Germany was gone but it took down 2 of the world's existing super powers with it . If it wasn't for the US & its Marshal Plan , the recovery of Europe & Japan would've taken decades instead of just 1 decade.
As an aside , the Russian recovery minus any such external aid just doesn't get the coverage it deserves just as their contribution to the WW is constantly glossed over in the west.
Anyway the aim of this exposition is that there's not going to be another such Marshal Plan coz Europe itself is in an economic crisis apart from other crises & if the war in Ukraine resumes around the same time China embarks on its Taiwan campaign you can bet Russia to NATO would be - hum toh doobe sanam , saath tumhe bhi le doobenge.
Then there's our friendly neighborhood Iran...Real fun times ahead folks.
