  1. Take the People's Republic of China's PLA for instance. Their claim over much of the SCS, the Taiwan Strait, and the 1st Island Chain is mainly backed by the development of their Navy. In sheer quantity, not quality, the Pentagon estimated that the PLA N's brown water ships have already surpassed the US Pacific fleets'. And in the case of war, it is thought that the PLA's advanced hypersonic arsenal might be able to target key facilities in a preemptive strike. However, all of this is HIGHLY dependent on the vulnerable kill chains going off as planned -- which is much easier said than done. With that being said, no near-peer adversary or major ally can realistically rival the United States' Armed Forces' logistical mastery; the key to efficiency in times of peace and war.

  2. Redundantly speaking, in power projection, what makes power so significant is the ability to actually PROJECT it.

  3. I feel like the truest measure of military strength and power is gauged in logistical efficiency. In that metric, the United States Armed Forces is single-handedly a hyperpower.

  4. Sorry, but you're gonna have to elaborate.
