The Pentagon is planning for war with China and Russia — can it handle both?

[Shogun]

Not sure where you were at, but we were running that country. Yeah, there were some remote tribes still on that Al Qaeda fukkery, but you don't have to have 100% control to be in charge.

Russia doesn't have that kind of muscle any more, just nukes. They've got an economy the size of Italy, no way they could go the distance.

I'd worry about China because they've completely infiltrated out military, government and infrastructure with hackers. If shyt starts, they have the power to bring everything down. Russian hackers don't have shyt on the Chinese. The Chinese are smart enough keep their shyt quiet, too. You see an articles every few years about some doctor or high level Chinese immigrant who's been smuggling military secrets or university research back to China on his "vacations" to see his family.

I was in RC East in the mountains near Pakistan. To say we have control of Afghanistan is to completely misunderstand the nature of Afghans. They're biding their time, at best. To conquer means to fully integrate. Ain't appening. Ever.

The reason the Pentagon unveiled that new strategy is b/c the US has weak cards to play, there's a short term window of technological superiority another 10 years max. The Chinese are getting aggressive because they know they can fight right now but it will be too costly. In the early 2000's a war would have been a cakewalk at sea and air for the USA just like the 1991 Gulf War.

Today China can hurt the US bad, probably wipe out 2/3 of the pacific fleet for horrendous losses.

As for Iran, their entire military has been trained for an invading army.

And Russia is huge though its military Out of 766,000 active troops, only around 200,000 approach NATO quality, the rest are shyt. China has been doing better at modernization and its forces are professional and quality of training is increasing. And India is doing even better at training levels than China but India has less advanced weapons technology.

Russia is not ready for a modern war any time soon, it will hold its own if NATO is stupid enough to attack into Russia, it might even start winning if there is a protracted war longer than 20 days, as there are massive bottlenecks in production of advanced missiles and electronics.

You will run out of the advanced stuff in a matter of a couple of weeks, and start raiding all your storage depots around Europe and North America.

Longer than 3 weeks you will not be able to manufacture and deliver the needed advanced weapons in time for use because critical components can only be made in Japan.

Without all those fancy cluster bombs and smart bombs and anti-radiation missiles, you will get swamped by all the obsolete gear left over from the Cold War. The Russians are massive hoarders, they still have weapons from the 1950's in storage. and those 2 million plus reservists can handle those weapons easily as they are idiot proof. By the time enough high tech gear is manufactured and delivered to the front by the West, Russia may very well have recaptured territory and created facts on the ground.

i'll tell you how the above plays out, whoever is losing releases them thangs.

anyway a new war will be just like the old one, COLD.

I can't remember where I read it but it was said that Iran would be harder to beat/conquer in a war than China or Russia due to it's geography.

Y'all think that's true?

Iran is mostly a mountainous plateau like Ethiopia or Tibet

Guys sure love arguing fake news in this section. The article is stupid. This is more about keeping China and Russia at bay. Even with Trump the USA is not dumb enough to invade either country.

 

[Swirv]

US can't win unless they get atomic.

 

[Iblazegunz]

Which Taiwan? You mean the Replica of China (Taiwan)?

You do realize he's right

You do realize he's right

Fail to recognize they aren't trying and already did

 

[kevm3]

we would have trouble handling china alone. How are we going to handle china when they manufacture most of the stuff we use on a day to day basis?

in a push came to shove situation our manufacturing could be turned back on pretty quick

high dollar items are what will be expended quick, which is what we specialize in

 

[TransJenner]

You can't be in control of the ENTIRE world... AMERICA IS JUST ONE CONTINENT... Like there wouldn't be other countries with superior weaponry out there??? the arrogance of your post fukking offends me...

Well there's going to be a one world government soon

Entertain the idea of war with nuclear powers, brehs.

This.

It impresses me every time when people start talking about air force and land wars between these 3. It just goes to show how clueless people are.

It would go instant nuclear. Russia and China win by the mere fact that they have bigger land and can absorb more hits. U.S is too small and would get picked off from all angles by the 2.

 

[Bawon Samedi]

No one is winning a nuclear war. And size dont win shyt. The USA can hit the densely populated areas of China and Russia and game over. Plus China isn't much bigger than the USA.

 

[hu3ypdadon]

Yall Act like the US will be going to war alone if this was to pop off..We have to stop thinkin our military isn't backed by other powerful countries. Russia/China doesn't have as many military bases the US have. Other European Nations will back up the US, and the whole world would be affected if this was to pop off not just the US

Three EMP weapons detonated over the West, East and Middle west would have us on some Max mad shyt.
With these turncoats in office get ready for the Puppet States of America, it the happens.

on top of that Russia and China can go a few months without electricity and internet, hell their are people living today that lived through such conditions before, it would be a piece of cake. Americans would turn to cannibalism by day 4. and they're all armed
