Three-front war? Or four?

More and more libertarians are pointing out that the current regime of Uncle Joe seems to be trying to pull Americans into three different wars: a three-front war. We have the obvious intervention and de-facto alliance with corrupt Ukraine against corrupt Russia. We have the actual ally Israel to which we are providing massive material support and sending in several thousand logistics support troops and – get this – military advisors! And apparently fully on-board with the war expanding to include Hezbollah, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and no doubt Iraq and anyone else! Meanwhile, it also appears that Uncle Joe’s handlers (puppet masters) want to see war with one of Obummer-O’Biden’s biggest supporters: Mainland (Red) China over Taiwan, the South China Sea, and no doubt the Panama Canal.

Three wars? Or three fronts in a worldwide war? Can the FedGov do it?

We must remember that American military forces are already garrisoning two-thirds of the planet (and most of the near-earth orbits). And in many ways, weaker relative to the world’s armies than it was 25 years ago, as more and more funding goes to support diversity, inclusion, equity and other Woke fantasies rather than training in combat, combat service support and support – piddly things like maintenance and real leadership, not Woke kumbaya nonsense.

Despite what appear to be more and more lies, we know that there are American troops on the ground in Ukraine and almost every country around them to the west. Major movements of US forces into Poland seem likely to be followed by more moved into Finland and the Baltic. Meanwhile, foolishly and wastefully, Ukraine expends western (US and other NATO) ammunition and supplies at a rate which leaves those militaries (including the US Army and US Air Force) dangerously short. Two carrier groups are now in the Middle East, with reports of a third on the way. Another has to stay in the Sea of Japan and East China Sea to carry out obligations to Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and the Philippines.

And Uncle Joe is all about the Americans among the hostages in Gaza, and excavating Americans from Israel and Lebanon. (Note nothing has been said about Americans in Gaza who are not hostages.) But then we remember what happened in Afghanistan with the Taliban, and can we be forgiven for having serious doubts? Like his old boss, Uncle Joe has not been very concerned about Israelis there or American Jews here.

But is three enough? It appears that the Regressive powers-that-be are not satisfied with just having to deal with three fronts – three sets of enemies – scattered across the world. Even if some of those (examples: Russia, China, Syria) seem to be allies.

What if DC wants four wars? Four fronts?

What could be a fourth front? Consider Mexico and the Cartels there. We’ve come close to such a war front several times in the past several decades. Then it was mostly about drugs. Today, it is the immigration itself. The cartels have found that they may have found a bigger cash-cow than prohibited recreational drugs. They rake the money in by being coyotes – helping people jump the border. Especially people from almost anywhere but Mexico: farther south in Latin America and the Caribbean, of course. But more and more we are told that the border jumpers are coming from the Middle East. (And no, it is not fearful Israelis or even residents of Judea, Samaria (West Bank) or Gaza.) And from various locations in Asia, including China.

The Mexican government continues to fight against corruption – and as always, continues to lose. A revival of the long-running war or insurgency by the Cartels against the State and Federales is likely. And DC may be stupid enough to try to use American military power to “help” Mexico.

After all, if an experienced and battle-hardening military like the Israeli Defense Forces “needs” American military advisors, then certainly the ejercito (Army) of the United Mexican States must need them. Except for some minor participation in the 2nd World War, Mexico has really not been involved in full-scale combat since they defeated the French (and overthrew their Emperor) in 1867, unless you count the Revolution in 1914-16 (Pancho Villa, etc. against Diaz).

But the real threat of a fourth front is the Home Front: with millions of unknown and generally hidden border jumpers, and the FBI and other agencies trying to make more and more Americans out as insurrectionists? When will a large enough group decide to live up to the claims and openly revolt? Or when will foreign agents (here as border jumpers or actually here with green cards or even naturalization) decide that the decadent American regime is ripe for plucking?

Is this likely? Maybe not. But the way the Republicans in the House of Representatives behaved the last three weeks before electing a Louisiana Member to be Speaker of the House? It might not be a low (enough) probability.

    Don’t dismiss the combination of the two. Foreign agents start something, and the FedGov blames it on the Ultra-MAGA…

      Similar to what happened during the Great War (World War One) to German-speaking Americans – even if they had been here for 40+ years or it was their parents or grandparents who came over) – they were gathered up and mal-treated because the Hun had invaded Belgium and France. Especially after Berlin tried to get Mexico to join on their side to be given back Texas and the Southwest.
