Taiwan is already armed to the teeth and any such delivery will be as a support to that.

South Korea would maul North Korea in a war. It would be worse than what the Russians are facing in Ukraine. The technological difference between South and North is of such a level as comparing the US today with Europe in the 1940s. The gap is that wide.

The satellites act as a primary intelligence that then allows the drones to move into an area and get real time firing data.

@papasmurf9146 Ukraine was never considered to be part of NATO. It was a story that constantly gets brought up over and over but was never a reality. If Russia does not win this war it will now be surround on the western front by NATO.

The West just wants a simply relationship with Turkey that is not to sensational. If Turkey was a bit more cleaver it would stay completely of the Wests radar. Turkey can stand up for its self when it needs to but targeting all kurds because there is one group of kurds that are a danger is not sensible or good optics. Turkey could negotiate some sort of deal with most kurds (maybe not all).

The US never lost its confidence with Vietnam. The US killed over 2.5 million Vietcong and lost about 50,000 troops which is about the same number it lost in Korea a decade earlier. The US won militarily in Vietnam but the congress was not willing to then have the US stick around.

The US never lost in Vietnam. People confuse the war that occurred their with the US decision to pull out.

@frivolousarguments8578 The US killed 2.5 million Vietcong and got them to surrender with the peace accords. The US congress then like Joe Biden just decided to pull out. The US did not wage total war in Vietnam as it was not a war for the US.

That does not make any sense.

@tonywilson4713 American won the war in Vietnam and Afghanistan. It never lost one battle in those places. Technically those were not wars by US standards and were just operations. It is not in Russia's interest to even attempt to take on the US anywhere in the world.

@tonywilson4713 America lost 50000 troops in Vietnam and killed 2.5 million Vietcong. The US did not lose one battle and got the Vietcong to surrender. It was the US congress that decided to pull out of Vietnam even thought he war was won. Just as the US pulled out of Afghanistan. Pulling out of somewhere is not the same as losing just as the US pulled out of Iraq. Are you going to claim the US lost in Iraq as well?

He does a lot of speeches, writes books and is constantly on the road. You only have to watch is videos to realize how busy he is. He even does online presentations around the world.

Korea has a massive military stockpile. There weapons systems are far more advance than what the North has. Taiwan on the other hand has a storm rough ocean between them and China and a dense missile defence system and 1.5 million fighting force to defend their island. The only thing the US would have to do is supply aid. China would not be stupid enough to target the US navy in open seas warfare they would get mauled.

@JohnnyAmerique In all out war North Korea would get slaughtered trying to storm the defensive lines of South Korea. Artillery is useless without accuracy and the ability to identify targets. South Korea has a larger and more modern air force, better missile system including missile defense. I doubt North Korea actually has nuclear warheads that it could use effectively in battle. It has chemical weapon but no experience of actually deploying them and could just as likely have said weapons produce returns on them. North Korean forces are no where near the level of Russian forces. The technological gap between the South and the North is so vast that it would be one of the most one sided wars to have occurred post WW2. Do you really believe that North Korea has any type of signal warfare?

@ivancho5854 I do not believe North Korea which has no economic trade, no native industries or any native technical capabilities has anything near to the numbers that are being claimed. It would be like Russia in that the military force is all on paper but the reality is different. South Korea has a heavy industrial base that is hundreds of times greater than that of North Korea. Blinding firing of artillery is not going to win in modern war.

The Byzantine's where no where near as powerful as what the US is today relative to their world. They were a shadow of the Roman Empire but they still had tactics that would enable them to move chess pieces around the board when need be. Even the Venetians were capable of doing that because their rich trade economy enable them to buy armies. The main difference between them and the US is that the US has a monstrous standing army that could be made 10 times larger in a major war if need be. What caused the venetian fall was that their mercenary armies were not loyal to the homeland and could be bought by other interested parties.

Sort of but it really is just the US backing another country with equipment.
1
No that is a myth. The forces that the US backed in Afghanistan were a mixture of different tribal groups. The Taliban are actually a group that are backed from within Pakistan and are not the same as the Mujahideen. No doubt there would have been some members from that earlier US back efforts that worked their way in but that is not the same thing.

The US is a thousand times more powerful than France.

It is only a statistical significance and not actually meaningful on a population level.

The US pre 911 would smash countries with armaments and unconventional warfare without even blinking. It does not need an invading force to conquer a country. If tomorrow the US decide to take down Iran it could do so with relative ease and by the way it may do that to send out a message to Russia and China of what happens when messing with the US. All it takes is for Iran to step out of line for the US to hit it really hard. The US may decide to target an iranian proxy to send a message to Iran.

You heard that all in your own head.

America is not imperial. It takes out threats when it needs to but that is it. Ukraine was an own goal for Russia. Even now in the middle of a war Ukraine has still not sent forces into Russia so when was Ukraine ever going to be a military threat to Russia?
1
That makes no sense.
1
Korean war was about stopping Chinese communists from conquering the peninsula. Vietnam was also about stopping that spread. Latin America was about stopping the USSR from expanding. How you can even compare them is beyond belief.

@theantiantichrist If Russia uses nuclear weapons against the US guess what will happen the US will use them against Russia. Russia better hope that their full arsenal of warheads are still active after 50 years of storage.

There is no other country that can use the model as they do not have the industrial economy to do it.

There was no similar attack to 911 when the war on terror started.
