I dont know. watching the US completely flounder in its Covid response and seeing the US military focus more on critical race theory than warfighting tells a different story.

@CMAzeriah Its really telling that some in the west still think Russia could be won over when you literally still have missiles pointed at them and regularly talk about overthrowing their government. Yeah. dissolve NATO and let Russia invade the rest of ukraine then you might have a point. Its as if you think Russians don't have any agency and are just pawns in your chessgame.

@CMAzeriah there are tons of easier places to invade that don't belong to a major nuclear power. If china wanted land it'd start trying to absorb something like Laos, Kirgizstan or Myanmar which nobody likes or cares about. The very idea that china which is set to have a shrinking population in coming decades needs more land is pretty silly. Historically Russia threats always came from the west not from the east and that isn't going to change any time soon.

the US does not have satellite based weapons. and rods from god only exist in science fiction. Low earth orbit is extremely fragile and it doesn't take much to knock out every satellite via the kessler syndrome.

All military semiconductors need to be large for radiation hardening meaning 20 yearold chips still get used on cutting edge hardware.

yes, when the Russia/China/Iran/DPRK alliance finally defeat the west, then they might turn on each other.

To jam radio communications you'd need a stronger emitter to overpower the signal. Yeah. good luck getting a jammer into the taiwan straits once the shooting starts. And unlike what you see in the movies, analogue signals can't be hacked. As for combat experience. There isn't a naval officer alive in the US that has fought a naval war. And if you've read the latest news about the lack of combat readiness of the rank and file.

@wastelandswimmer Japan is the perfect example. When the IJA marched through asia in the WW2 and forcefully industrialised regions (almost solely for its war effort) that is european style colonialism. When Japan came back in the 80s and invested money, it was doing so peacefully, which is what china is doing in africa now. The reason why imperial japan's actions were seen as so barbaric was becuase it was european style colonialism done by non-europeans. The reason why the third Reich's actions were seen as so barbaric was because it was european style colonialism done TO other europeans.

@puraLusa It might have more to do with the recent civil war more than anything else.

considering all this new tech from the US is all made by for profit companies, good chance its just vapourware designed to make a quick buck.

the US also sucks at asymetrical warfare. Stuff like cyber attacks, psychological warfare or even handling a pandemic.

@danielgloyd4529 in a pure build-off china will dominate the US in sheer numbers, china currently has 20x the shipbuilding capacity of the US largely because the US has outsourced most of its industrial base. Give it 30 years almost every ship in the US navy will be retired from age and the US will lack the shipyards to replace them at a fast enough rate to compete.

'liberalism' has becoming an ossified ideology onto itself. The 'NPC' meme best exemplifies this

@CedarHunt lasers currently could barely shoot down a subsonic drone because you need to keep a pinpoint focus on target for several seconds before it can destory it. Given that it takes less than several seconds for a supersonic missile to bridge the gap between the maximum range of a laser. Its simply a non-starter.

@boogie2025 If the US intends on actually fighting the war and not just giving up 2 months in then yes.

You forget that china also has a massive network of rivers. Not that rivers make a huge amount of difference once railways became a thing.

@Huajierenmeiluziye the US could not tolerate a world where china was the largest economy so it waged a massive economic/technological/propaganda war against china over the past 7 years. The fact that china hates the US now is almost entirely the fault of the US leadership.
1
The US is dispersed around the world and cannot afford to turn its back lest countries like Russia, Iran and North korea see a weakness to exploit. Combined with the abysmal failure of the US in dealing with infrastructure failure at home. A coordinated attack by china and other anti-US beligerants on US infrastructure through cyber, biological and psychological warfare would cause the US to fold in on itself trying to fight on all fronts at once.

WW2 naval tactics are useless in modern naval warfare. and logistics are far less important when the battlefield is less than 500km from your shores.

@Quickshot0 Chinese students sent overseas are returning in greater numbers because the environment outside of china has decidely become anti-chinese. chinese graduates in STEM courses in the west cannot get jobs because everyone thinks they're spies and secretly blames them for covid.
1
the balance of power is shifting and in 10-20 years the US would lose the ability to defend taiwan.

You do realise thats a war memorial for the korean war right?
1
@movement2contact and what are the chinese? Tyranids?
1
@rmar127 Putin wouldn't buy into that deal because the moment China is dealt with, Russia is on the chopping block again, He's been around long enough to know the US' tricks.

once the war in space goes hot, nobody will have satelllites curtesy of the kessler syndrome.
1
The US has nothing to offer Russia except empty promisses and continued meddling in Russian politics. You think the Russians are stupid or something?

territorial sovereignty supersedes that and the better part of 1.4 billion people will agree.

@Biba--- They can sign their own defensive pacts or nuclearise their militaries.
