If it Comes to War, Can the US Compete With China?

In space, we win.
In the air we win big.
On the Sea, we win huge.
Let’s stay off their land.

I say we are winning pretty well when the nukes go off.

It would not get to a war. Google John L. Perry's "without firing a Shot" for a great story about how they have us by the balls.

WE CAN NOT DEFEAT RADICAL ISLAM--A mere mosquito compared to a Chinese DRAGON. Hell, we can not defeat MEXICO.

Sssshhhh. Don’t wake up the ‘bring jobs back’ broken record parrot.

One would think that he would get tired of saying the same thing over and over, but obviously not.

The US had problems pushing back China in the Korean War when it brutally poor. Short of nuclear weapons, forget about now.

One hand tied behind our back in that war and later wars (Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.) were worse.

Thank you.

Another failed history lesson for current leadership. The United States won WWII largely because of its’ industrial capacity. Thanks to our outsourcing, we no longer have this advantage. Any future war would rely on pinpoint strikes of missiles and nuclear weapons. I doubt that current leadership has the resolve to use such weapons and strongly suspect that our military systems have been compromised by hacking and illegal sales of technology. Disarm the American citizen and we’re ripe for a takeover.
