What just happened?

I’m still having trouble processing what happened in Venezuela, possibly the most badass moment in history.
Think about it, the US just swoops in and takes the Venezuelan president in an hour…without any casualties.
And here’s Russia that couldn’t even do the same with Zelenskyy after 3 years. Holy shite.

I’m starting to think the U.S. military could actually whip China’s arse badly if they weren’t handcuffed as usual.

Just curious. Were you drunk all weekend? Don’t worry, I’ve had weekends like that too and I’m doing fine.

We could whip anyone's arse in a total war.
Its when you try to preserve the civilian pop is when things go bad.

We laughed at China, Russia, and Iran technology during the process
Radar, anti-air missiles, drones, nothing there could detect much less touch our F-35s

Ya think? We spend more on defense than Russia, China, Germany, UK, India, Saudi Arabia, France, Japan, South Korea, Italy, Israel, Ukraine, Poland
COMBINED

The question is why you ever doubted it

You mean in the conflict or after? We're pretty good at avoiding civilian casualties.
What we can't do is nation build. We also could never dream of occupying China.

Total war = nothing is off limits like the bombing of dresden type war

Here is the dilemma. With China's population dwindling do you trust your tech and do something now, or wait for more of the population to dwindle next 10-20 and take chance on them beating us in the AI game.
Not saying we are openly going to war with China, but its a fair question.

Remember when Roger cried for weeks because Trump was trying to start a hot war that would turn into our Ukraine? Poor Roger.
If we paid for a whole truck load of blowhards and Roger is the only one they shipped, we’d still get our moneys worth.

Yet even with evidence right in front of his hungover bloodshot eyes, he will still insist that he is right.
Boy how he has fallen. He’s ate up with the TDS bad.

Our military spending is more than the next 10 combined. That, along with big, blue water bodies to the east and west and two ineffective military neighbors to the north and south, pretty much means that tUSA vs the rest of the world would be over quickly and the rest of the world would not stand much of a chance.

Nothing prolonged. we would have supply chain issues in parts supply, weapon replenishment, spares, etc.
China has numbers, but if it was a short entanglement we would have the advantage. If it's prolonged we begin to lose advantage.
Not to mention we are unprepared for the simplistic drone attacks as Russia was in Ukraine. We are working on it and understand the potential of those types of attacks, but we are unprepared for them i believe.

Also, this was Venezuela. It was impressive, but it is Venezuela. We weren't facing top notch weaponry that Russia has faced in Ukraine.

Dude, we supplied Ukraine. Those were drones we have been working on for over 20 years.

Because democrats in your party actively tried to destroy and sabotage the military
