Overnight the Chinese will have a greater army than the US
It is why we had to stop in Korea and why long term Vietnam had no winnable solution. It is also why we refuse to protect Taiwan even when they are a Republic and China is Commie.
1.4 Billion Chinese
0.3 Billion US Americans
Chinese outnumber US at least 4:1
It is why the Russians beat a superior army in the Germans, they had more cannon fodder. Zulu's with spears beat the British with rifles and cannons.
No matter the technology, you still need the foot soldier to occupy land.

Who cares how large their army is??? If we ever got in to a full fledge war with China, their army would be larger just based on population size. All that means is a higher kill rate for each weapon we have.

Who won that war? Did the Zulus push the Brits out of Africa?
Did the Zulus occupy London?
You don't have any idea what you are talking about.

The Pacific Ocean is our greatest defense. They can do what they want over there.

Larger doesn’t mean shite.

Yes, the British did not win until the 3rd Zulu war and (even tho war was never declared) by then having the public army fighting to protect a private company (DeBeer's) lead to the financial panics in the late 1800's and early 1900's. In essence it was Britain's version of our Vietnam. The early defeat by the Zulu nation of the British certainly encouraged the Boer War and signaled the beginning of the end for the British Empire.

No, but the economic damage caused by the wars in Africa finished the British as an Empire. Do you really think they lose India or Hong Kong if Africa had not fallen first?

Perhaps it is you who have not studied late 1800 and early 1900 British history so you are not better informed to discuss the past history with better understanding of the global consequences of using a public army to defend a private company.

China will have a larger military than the USA. Of course it will be made of conscripts whose only military training was 6 weeks of political indoctrination and the bare minimum of weapons training, huge reserves of tanks and airplanes that are 50+ years old and may or may not be operational. So yes China will have a bigger military than the US on paper.

China's navy is already at our level and still growing.
We better be praying their shite isn't reliable or accurate.
If it is, we are fricked.

You can't claim that a war was unsuccessful because something that was never a goal was not achieved.

In what world is China, or any communist nation efficient?
They're efficient at some things
Just not efficient at providing a society in which people are happy
That doesn't mean they can't build a military force efficiently

Have an up vote for bringing a point of logic to the discussion.

Does not matter to me.
Bring our soldiers home.
Secure the border, 3x the port inspections.
Cut Military spending by 1/3.
Cut Foreign Aid by 2/3's.
Invest in USA infrastructure.
Watch the economy end them.

Ike had one of the most efficient policies about the southern border. In just two years illegal immigration went from 1.2 million per years to just 87K.
He did not build a wall
He solved the problem with out the taxpayers

I agree 100% with this but the southern border wall is not infrastructure, just a boondoggle that will cost more than it is worth. Be easily overcome and divert taxpayers dollars from bridges and road sorely needed inside the US borders.
To make matters worse, the contractors are Russians.
