Complaining over the budget increase due to "getting involved in a foreign war." I'm sure if the government announced the budget increase was to solely defend American shores from the Chimera, the Isolationists would be more accepting. Afterall, they'd want to only defend America from attack, not go on a rampage in Europe.
Plus the Isolationists most probably have on hand a fear of "well if we attack over there, it might aggrivate them or what about when we're fighting over their if they launch an attack here?". Dosen't mean at all the Isolationists aren't willing to fight. It's where they fight that's important.
IF the isolationists DO want to increase the budget AND have a solid plan how to use that increased budget that involves more than "ignore and hope they go away" THEN I'll admit they may have a point.
However, if these isolationists are anything like what their name (plus RL) history implies, then I don't think they do
And Africa's are pretty much undeveloped.
guess what happens to undeveloped resources if the owner has time?
So using these points at hand I base my arguments off. Hopefully once we get to learn a little bit more about the Chimera and how they produce and maintain their forces, should we be able to get a better look at the picture also.
Considering how they overran Russia and Europe, I wouldn't count on them NOT making use of having >50% of the world's land mass to outcompete/produce/... the US.
they took 40(?) years to get ready to overrun Europe (assuming the Tunguska event as the start), what reason is there to think they'd not be able to take on the US now, or in 40 years. And what reason is there to think they wouldn't try?
