We simply don't have the military capability that would be required to carry out these 'threats', and we're unlikely to be able to recruit the manpower that would be needed without a massive financial boost, additional financial incentive and / or (IMHO) conscription. That's it, end of.
All this waffle about threatening Russia or China is complete arsecake, they know it, we know it. If things were to ramp up significantly - thinking back to Cold War era, not WW2 - exactly how many of the snowflake generation do you think will be rocking up at the AFCOs to 'defend their country'?? Because they certainly won't queue up to defend somebody else's (though they might hold a protest or something in sympathy). Even the guys and gals currently serving are - as the thread says - leaving in droves... and they're from the hardier generations!!
I hate to necro-post (is that what you call it when you re-post someone's prior post with a post that says "I agree with your post"), but I agree with everything you have written.
I do have one question though - would it be correct to assume that you are the first practical user of the word 'arsecake' on the Goat so far in 2019?

Lister: Lister to Red Dwarf, we have in our midst a complete smegpot. Brains in the anal region. Chin, absent presumed missing. Genitalia, small and inoffensive. Of no value or interest whatsoever.
Commander Binks: Binks to Enlightenment. Evidence of primitive humour. The human displays knowledge of satire and imitation. With patient tuition, could perhaps master simple tasks.
Lister: Lister to Red Dwarf. Displays evidence of spoiling for a rumble. Seems unable to grasp simple threats. With careful pummeling, could be sucking tomorrow's lunch through a straw.
Commander Binks: Binks to Enlightenment. The human seems to be under the delusion that he is somehow capable of bestowing physical violence to a hologram.
Lister: Lister to Red Dwarf. The intruder seems blissfully unaware that we have a fairly sturdy holowhip in the Munitions cabinet. And unless he wants his derriere minced like burger meat, he'd better become history in the next two seconds flat
