depends on what the objective is. if it’s complete annihilation of either country, then a pyrrhic victory for whoever wins.

sidebar, since I love history so much:

a “pyrrhic victory” or win is coined from the Epirus king, Pyrrhus, who was a cousin of Alexander the Great. There were Greek colonies on the east coast of Italy at the time and these colonies were getting bullied by the Romans, so they asked their fellow Greek, Pyrrhus to intervene. He obliged and went to war with Rome in these massive battles and kept giving Rome the beats, but the victories would come at a huge lost of men and resources. After one such battle he famously said “If we are victorious in one more battle against the Romans then we shall be utterly destroyed”.


Later, back in Greece, Pyrrhus ended getting killed by the mother of a soldier he was fighting in the streets of a greek city. She was watching the battle from the rooftop of a house, and when her son was losing, she threw a roof tile at Pyrrhus which knocked him off his horse paralyzing him. Another soldier came up and beheaded Pyrrhus.

:ohhh:

Tell me Alex had the whole family strung up by their feet by the end of the day :demonic:

If a war did pop off, it wouldnt take place in these two countries. Sadly some “ally” will be the killing ground

Pyrrhus was a distant cousin of Alex, he lived a little after Alex’s exploits

Once Alex died from an illness (some say he was poisoned) chaos issued. His Afghani wife, Roxanna, poisoned Alex’s other two wives and then she, her young son, Alex’s mother and sisters were then killed by Alex’s generals.

Those generals then fought each other for years over Alex’s empire. One general named Ptolemy took control over Egypt and it is from this line that Cleopatra of Egypt is from.

People keep mentioning the strength of the US military. That's true, but Economics rules everything

US is already in billions/trillions of dollars in debt with China. Also, China is already buying billions of property in the US

On top of that, going to war in general makes a country go into debt


IMO there will be no physical war. That's for the tabloids. It will be an Economic Cold War that the US will eventually lose

Another propaganda article from coup plotters. China going to invade Taiwan? Didnt the US mercenaries just got caught for trying to invade Venezuela

Taiwan belongs to China just like Hong Kong.

China dont want war with the US but the US wants war with China. US already put out sanctions (act of war) on them. US already push the UK to drop the 5G deal with China's Huawei or else.

US been creating and funding asian anti-Chinese oppostions groups, parties, info-wars, media platforms, NGOs, protest all through Asia by the US government AID agencies like the NED. Even with all that through proxies, the US still couldnt get the Hong Kong color revolution popping

India, Austeralia, UK kneeling down to the US still cant get the job done.

The US dominance is at an end. All the US government run companies like Google linking up with India to prop and give them incentives wont help US restore they dominance.

The new Cold War with the US and China will be more like Tech Wars

Love
ust contain them and build alliances with neighboring countries and economically isolate them

And another key ally the US is losing is Turkey

Turkey was one of the main countries to buy into the F-35 development program. But then the U.S. tried to back a coup to overthrow their president.

Turks Can Agree on One Thing: U.S. Was Behind Failed Coup

From that point on the Turks decided that if they buy any US weapons they will buy the Russian countermeasures for said U.S. weapons in case anyone in their military gets smart and tries to carry out a coupr d'etat against the government again. So since they had bought into the F35 program they approached Russia about buying the one missile system that's a legit threat to stealth-fighters: Russian S400 missiles. The Pentagon panicked because they know if Turkey uses S400 systems it will not only make the F35 look bad or not as stealthy as advertised to other potential buyers but also the radar officers there will be able to use the S400 and pickup and study the F35's electronic signature making it easier for other competitors to hack it.

So the US congress ran and passed a law to ban and sanction anyone who buys US weapons AND Russian weapons to discourage Turkey and others from doing what Turkey was about to do. As a result they stopped turkey from buying the F35s from LockHeed-Martin (US manufacturer) and threatened to sanction Turkey if it bought the Russian S400 missiles.

Turkey officially kicked out of F-35 program, costing US half a billion dollars

Turkey called their bluff and bought the Russian missiles anyway even tho their officers were already in the US to train and fly the F35s back home. Congress and Trump wants to sanction them but they know Turkey is a major ally and they need Turkey to access certain areas in the region.

Now all the sudden Turkey has expressed interest in buying into the two other competitors to American stealth programs: Russian SU-57 (whom i think once in production will be better than the F35 if not the F22) but also...Chinese J-31 which is the knockoff but faster version of the F-35

"We're Buying This One?" Turkey's Erdogan Asks Putin In Front Of Su-57 Fighter At Air Show

So after you read this and i have provided receipts for all ive said. How do you thing other counrtries still view the US as an ally? They wanna be in your good grace because the american consumer is the biggest commercial market in the world where other countries' goods can be sold. But that good old "US savior of the world" image you think the U.S. has among other countries is long gone, doggy.

Edit: Oh and as of 3 weeks ago gues what the Turks did? :myman: They allowed the US to fly over their teritory to fly to the middle East and took the opportunity to use the Russian S400 systems and tested it against US F35s flying in the region. You know...that same plane you didnt wanna sell them. :mjlol:

Turkey has tested Russia's S-400 missile system to detect F-22s and F-35s

snippet said:
[US]Fifth generation fighters were sent to rotation in the Middle East through the Black Sea and directly Turkey. Their route ran approximately 170-200 kilometers from the Turkish Air Force Airbase Myurt. Therefore, the Turkish side had a great opportunity to test the complexes for aerodynamic purposes.

“The Russian Federation supplied Turkey with two batteries of the S-400 system from July to September. S-400s are currently based at Myrted Air Base, located near the Turkish capital. Tests are scheduled to continue until the end of the year” Fighter Jets World magazine informed.

The Turkish department reported that Russian systems are being deployed and tested. It is likely that they are already ready for combat duty. However, it is possible that Turkey wants to get NATO approval to avoid criticism
Bet they collect the data and sell it to the russians to further enhance the S400 via updates for future deployments.

This is what happens when you shyt on enough people doggy.
