It’s not really optimism. Time is a very limiting factor. Numbers are another.
The United States has a tooth to tail ratio of 17%. Every combat unit has about 5 support units. So even though the US has a Military person per capita of about 5 to 1000, they really only have less than 1 combat unit per 1000 people.
They are outnumbered. They are out gunned. They are out maneuvered. It takes 5-6 hours to travel by plane from Canada to Florida. Moving thousands of troops is much longer.
They only have ONE weapon right now. Fear. Intimidation. Shows of force. That won’t win in the long term.
I admire your optimism.

Lots of things can happen, a few of which would actually be good things.
We need to look for those things early, to try and help our slim odds of improving things.
