1) We are stuck in an expensive unsanctioned war with zero results: no regime change, no agreement to thwart a nuclear threat, and a stranglehold on oil shipments thru the Strait impacting the world economy.
-- How are we stuck? We can stop any time we want. Granted, agreements won't work with Iran, and they are willing to sacrifice their own people like Hamas was in Gaza. Trump is going to have to suck it up and escalate things.
2) Affordability
-- Not as bad as it was in the 1970's, and people had a better attitude back then about the United States. But, I admit, your efforts to make people feel downtrodden and helpless does seem to be paying off.
3) No plan to curtail deficit
-- This has been the case for decades. Nothing new here.
4) No control over AI bots now on the attack and out of their sandbox
-- New development. This is a non-partisan issue that all of humanity faces. Let me know if you have any solutions. Other than building ours first, I don't have a solution.
5) No more watchdogs or oversight to guard against corruption, fraud, and self dealing
-- Trump is going after fraud and corruption. But, I admit that the Democrats are doing their best to halt all efforts at doing so. Shameful behavior.
6) severely depleted reservoirs in west
-- Droughts come and go. We can't stop them. Dems created a lot of this problem by depleting what reservoirs they controlled for mislead environmental reasons.
7) unvaccinated children
-- Fauci admitted that the Covid shutdown kept millions of children from getting the measles vaccine, which is a much greater threat than covid was, so you make a good point there.
8) depleted military armaments compromising our national security
-- Assuming this is happening, it would be a major issue. We need more manufacturing in the US. I'm glad Trump is trying to move manufacturing back to the States. Note: This is not a stockpile issue, it is a replenishment issue. That is why we need things like tariffs, to help move manufacturing jobs back to the US.
9) China kicking our asses
-- Please elaborate.
10) Depleted university research and development
-- Feel free to elaborate. If we do address such a concern, we need to exclude China citizens from participating, to address your #9 concern.
