Force reduction.

Cutting programs.

The Two theater doctrine is being done away with.

It is being discussed on all the American news networks tonight.

What the Nations UNfriendly to the US just heard was that the DoD is going to be able to fight one War and in one Theater.

Should it all go south in the Middle East and the US goes back, someplace like say North Korea could have a long lead time to prosecute a war strategy.

So our various smaller Allies are wondering... Will the US still help us?

Unfortunately, this is coming as no surprise, given the current situation.

As for various smaller Allies wondering if the U.S. still will help them if shit hits the fan...I fear in some cases that one famous quote from that game we all know and love may apply:

"Good luck...your on your own..."
