That's it in a nutshell.

You realize China is one cruise missile from being out of business for decades right?

Take out the Three Gorges Dam and Wuhan is twelve feet underwater ....

Progressives.

I can't believe how many people in this thread fear progressives as a military threat.

I could take out a platoon of progressives with my composite bow and a treehouse

It is pretty funny actually.

We rule the world because of the USN. And China's the only one close to us; and even that isn't even close. Picking up what I'm putting down?

So, unless they have a fleet of nuclear subs better than ours, they will never reach the continental USA. BETTER YET: If the entire world went to war with us tomorrow, they couldn't reach us.

FFS you just made me agree with Kilroy.

Can we take on China?


Yes. If the EU members of NATO join us. IF the EU stops trading with China by rail then the combined navies of NATO and ANZUS could block China's trade and energy imports by sea and eventually China's economy would crumble and millions would starve. The CCP is probably not strong enough to survive mass starvation like it did when Mao was alive especially if the country is at war at the same time.

What about China and Russia?



Russia could supply China with enough grain to limit the starvation to acceptable numbers and provide it with energy by land routes that are relatively safe. It would be harder but I have faith that we could get it done.

The big threat isn't military; it is population replacement. The US will not be first. Europe is the canary in the coal mine. As the Muslims keep swarming in and reproducing


This X maybe a million. While the US is busy having abortions, Muslims are reproducing left and right and moving their footprint all over the globe and will eventually take over. I know most people on the OT could care less about bible prophecy but this is clearly pointed out in the bible. It may not happen in our lifetime but the Muslims will eventually control most of the world. As you pointed out, Europe is already almost there. Once they have spread their will across the globe, an eventual leader will arise that seems like the salvation but will be the anti-Christ.

The US has 67 subs for 100,000 miles of coastline. You don't think armies of millions of Chinese soldiers couldn't make it to our shores if they wanted to? The navy only has 280 or so combat ready vessels these days. This isn't the old days.

The level of unpreparedness they have allowed the military to get to. The only way they could fix it quickly would be to start a draft and that would be a disaster with this bunch in charge.

Not enough. Add that China has outpaced us in every way with hypersonics. Our defenses just cannot compete with them. SSBNs are a great asset in the DoN. And last number I saw was we were at ~60% readiness. Still 1+ year behind on production of new vessels.

How are they going to do that?
And it’s not really just subs, it’s all the other ships we have that would be a bigger concern for them

What the frick are they going to get to the shores? Swim? Paddle inflatable dinghies they bought from Wish or AliExpress?

Maybe it is my background but I find it astonishing the complete lack of understanding vis-a-vis combat power/logistics. While I don't expect a person to understand the exact logistics of moving a BCT around the world I do expect them to have some idea of the scope and utter folly it would be to try to move millions of soldiers in anger across 6,000 miles of Pacific ocean and expect to land a single living soul on Long Beach. The combined navies/air forces of all the nations in the world couldn't do it.
