What Is More Likely To Escalate?

[Stoked]

I'll guarantee you this: if the US went to war at all costs with China, you would lose regardless of the military outcome. (actually, sorta like Iraq and Afghanistan, but super sized)

If America and China went to war everyone would lose. War is all heroic and fantasized until you are in it and see it with your own eyes.

A war between those two would change everything.

If I know NAOS, terrifying didn't mean frightening.. It meant idiotic.
Maybe I'm wrong...

Nah..

It meant frightening. It's awful that we can more easily imagine these scenarios than we can imagine something more humane than capitalist warfare. ( I'm not just referring to this thread )

The worst is always easier to imagine. Human nature.

wow? the us aint no major power anymore. china could easily take on the usa without breaking a sweat

We outspend China something like 4-1 on the military. They'd break more than a sweat.

I'm not syaing USA will defintly lose vs china.
but it might be a vietnam kinda thing

heck america cant even win a simple "war" on terror and drugs

The war on terror is a joke anyway.
You can't possibly keep tabs on every possible terrorist in the world, and take them down.
And how to you win a war on drugs when the military protects 90 percent of opium crops in the world over in Afghanistan, and then the CIA ships the drugs over by the jet full?

Doubtful.
Unlike the U.S, China's military is very organized and not out policing the entire world.

You say that based on your in-depth knowledge of said militaries?

I don't know much about China's, but I know a little about the US logistics. If it comes to war, the US will be able to concentrate it's forces quickly and in an organized fashion. I have serious trouble believing that a country with an even greater corruptiobn problem than our country has is so much better organized than we are.

Well if all out war broke out with China all the troops in places like Iraq and Afghanistan would be recalled immediately. Also unlike the Chinese military the US military has much more experince fighting a modern war and has the clear technological edge.

I speak mostly on my in-depth knowledge on the U.S. military, and it's failures ever since Vietnam.
Of course there's always the falsified "Gulf of Tonkian Incident", that's been declassified to never have happened.
And of course there's always the great response the military had on 9/11, and after Hurricane Katrina.

In other words, complete ignorance.

 

[babe]

Is there really that much tension between China and Russia? I have always seen them as willing to join forces in any war instead of being foes.

As for wars are hatched in England. I don't buy that. Not any more. Wars are hatched here in the States. England has switched roles with the USA. We lead now and they follow.

It's no accident most people think this.

A tremendous testimony of superior strategy, superior thinking, and superior intelligence, and superior organization and management.

Look out your back door and take a look at the Oquirrhs, and understand the real meaning of "we".

 

[babe]

In other words, complete ignorance.

In other words, calling the truth you despise "ignorance" insulates you from reality.

Always the first line of defense against understanding.
