Quisling Joe would never do this because he sold us out to Putin for millions in bribes.
You are living 30 years in the past ! The US army is small and weak now. The big maneuver wars we conducted against the Iraqis is no longer possible against a peer. Our industrial base is mostly gone. It will be at least three years before we with the Europeans can get to the point where we are producing enough artillery shells just to keep up with what the Ukraine is using. We have only stockpiled enough weapons for a short decisive war for decades now. We don’t have the stockpile of weapons needed to fight Russia and we don’t have the industry to make the war materials. Raytheon just admitted that there are thousands of critical components in the weapons systems that we are dependent on China for. If the Ukraine is indicative of the material burn rate we would need we have less than thirty days of supplies. We are the paper tiger.
Militarily the US has no peer.
