This book discusses how President Barack Obama has made the United States a superpower in complete retreat in the world. The enemies of America, including Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, and radical Islam, do not fear President Obama. The allies of America do not trust or respect Obama to defend them from their enemies. Obama and Congress have severely cut the Pentagon's budget while the enemies of America have significantly improved their Armed Forces and nuclear arsenals with new weapons. Russia has annexed part of Georgia and Ukraine's Crimean peninsula and occupied parts of eastern Ukraine. China has occupied islands in the South China Sea that belong to U.S. allies. China claims illegally as its territory 90% of the South China Sea and claims islands that belong to Japan in the East China Sea. Both China and Russia are harassing U.S. aircrafts and Navy ships around the world. These nations represent an existential threat to America. The author discusses the reasons why America needs to drastically increase the budget of the Pentagon and improve the nuclear arsenal and missiles to match or exceed the better-equipped Russian and Chinese missiles and other weapons. Anti-ballistic missile defense must be improved. Failure to do so will severely endanger the national security of the United States. It might provoke a devastating combined Russian-Chinese surprise nuclear attack upon America as weakness invites aggression from the psychopaths who rule those two nations. The author reveals how Russia and China are developing hypersonic glide vehicles to defeat the increasingly sophisticated anti-ballistic missile (ABM) defense of the United States and its allies. These two enemy nations are ahead in the development of hypersonic weapons. The nation that achieves mastery of hypersonic weapons first will overturn the principles of how wars are waged. The development of hypersonic weapons is similar to the development of nuclear arms. America is in great danger as the balance of military power has shifted against it. The only area that America has superior weapons is in space. Russia and China are working diligently to develop weapons superior to America in space such as the hypersonic glide vehicles. The book explains how Vladimir Putin has frequently threatened nuclear war against America and its allies frequently. It is very important for Americans to understand that Russia is the number one geopolitical enemy of America. Equally important is to know that Russia is using jihadists throughout the world as a weapon against the United States and the West. China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, and other nations are waging successful cyber warfare against America and stealing its industrial and military secrets. Unfortunately, the Obama administration has done very little to stop it. Another serious threat to America is an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) event that would destroy all electronics and the electrical grid of America and result in the death of between 80% to 90% of Americans in a few months due to starvation. America, at all levels, is unprepared for an EMP nuclear attack or an EMP provoked by solar flares despite their catastrophic consequences. Lastly, the author presents the 2016 Republican Platform called America Resurgent. It describes how the security of America can be improved with a strong foreign policy and military.
