Analysis of America is Being Set Up For Defeat



America is being set up for a future military defeat,
Her leaders and people are blinded by arrogance,
Thinking they can never be beat,
And that technology will always conquer any negative
Conflicting circumstances.

The Russians,
The Iranians,
And the Chinese,
Are all allied together.
While the Russians eye toward the Ukraine,
Iran seeks Israel to do as it pleases,
When the Chinese move on Taiwan.
All three moving forward at the same time,
Play for very stormy weather.

American power is split,
With Israel and Taiwan both as allies,
Thus, when she seeks to defend,
She takes a staggering hit.

Now the homeland is left wide open,
While citizens may access arms,
They fantasize such an event will never happen,
As they are bedazzled by technological charms.

In the Canadian north
Sits a massive half million-man Chinese army,
To the Mexican south stands the same,
Once both of these designs to move forward,
Only America is to blame.

The US National Guard
Is not training for true war,
While US Soldiers battle hard,
All they do way down in the woods
Is drink and whore.

The American citizen is existing in a delusional fantasy,
Believing there will always be something to eat.
When moment arrives, he’ll not fathom what he sees,
as Chinese soldiers swarm all across the land from the north and the south
like raging hives of bees.

With America’s military divided and spread out,
Like an ankle-deep puddle of water,
A raging river can be stomped about,
Withering away into disorder.
