@sector986 tnam was a military and political failure regardless of how you look at it, the military failed to defeat the NVA and the US failed to stop communism spreading, same with Afghanistan, military failed to defeat the Taliban and failed to install a pro western government, Iraq was a military victory with a political failure.
That's false, first of all, if the US tried to invade Ukraine, Russia would enact mass mobilization of all its forces, they have far more anti air systems than is one the field, also Russia would transition to a war economy where majority of its industry would be used for war production.
There's 4 major military powers where if they faced eachother at full strength (mass mobilization/ war economy) they would have more or less equal chances, based on economic capabilities, production and logistics capabilities, military power and natural resources, they are the United States, Russian Federation, European Union and the republic of china.
If I had to pick one, I'd pick China, they have the biggest production capabilities, biggest logistical abilities, 2nd biggest navy, biggest army and are leading in many areas from military, economic, logistical and resource wise, different countries have different leads, for examples US has largest air force, most amount foreign bases and GDP nominal, Russia has largest number of tanks and Artillery, European Union has largest navy& land forces, China has largest army, largest foreign &gold Reserves and largest labour force.
I did an essay on this last year, describing what I call the 4 major military powers, in relation to economic power, military power, logistical abilities and natural resources, as they all matter in a countries ability to wage war.

@patrickbateman312 the fact you say a NATO APC beat a T72, shows you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about, keep smoking the copium bro, this counter offensive was lead by NATO trained and supplied commanders and look how well it's going, this just shows how good NATO is, the US hasn't faced an equal opponent since WWII, their entire modern doctrine is based on anti insurgency, this failed counter offensive just shows what would happen to NATO.
Let's remind the world, when the US was in Korea, at the time they had one of the world's largest navy and air force, they had 1/3 of their air force there, most of their navy and majority of their soldiers, what happened when they faced China, a country at the time was little more than a militia, had no navy and little to no air force and very little tanks and IFVs, yet they absolutely HUMILIATED US soldiers, so bad infact that it resulted in the longest military retreat in US history 🤣, it was so bad that mccarthur wanted to nuke China because his forces were constantly getting whooped, so yeah make fun all you want bro, the US will always be remembered for losing to a country that had a military 300 times less funded than its own 🤣🤣🤣
