Everything I’ve ever read about military strategy concludes that it is best not to fight a two-front war. You split your forces to your disadvantage. In World War II the U.S. did fight a two-front war, but we didn’t have much choice, and the decision was made early to concentrate on the European front. First Germany, than Japan.
Now I worry that the U.S. is about to embark on a two-front war, and it is one which we have not sufficiently thought through. By dividing our forces between Minneapolis and Greenland, we might easily be headed for a big disaster. Even worse, there have been rumblings about attacking Iran for shooting demonstrators, although I am not sure who in the current Administration would even think that’s a problem.
Finally there is the issue of Venezuela. And didn’t we recently bomb Nigeria? Who is in charge here? I hope, dear Secretary, that you aren’t drinking again.
