Unfortunately, China can now beat the crap out of our military. They’re weapons are more sophisticated, they have more troops, and they haven’t exhausted their resources.

LOL. Did you forget your /sarc tag?

I don’t know where you’re getting your information but their hardware is not more sophisticated than ours by any stretch of the imagination. However, they do have a larger army p, I’ll give you that. But, the U.S. will never deploy troops onto mainland China. So, their headcount is irrelevant.

So you know what we can bring to arms?

Not a chance.

Says who?

Maybe we should preemptive sink our CVN fleet and just seed the ocean to the Chinese. /sarc

There is no China Order of Battle analyst I’ve spoken to that believes that. So what are your credentials?:

No, they can't. The USA can simply stand by and ask Japan to beat the crap out of China, which Japan can do. Impressive for a "self-defense" force.

China is dependent on the USA and other countries for oil. China is the world's largest importer of oil. The US is an exporter; we're self-sufficient in oil production. China's military is dependent on oil imports to function; we can quickly wipe out their oil supply chains.

Note: this is the reason Japan attacked us in WWII, because we blocked their access to oil. China would not dare attack us in the same fashion, because they know what we did to Japan.

Have you ever heard of Trident D5? I don’t think so.

Sure they are. They alcannot even build a decent jet engine yet.

I have been told by people who should know, that it would only take 8 nukes to kill the vast majority of people in China. Apparently their water supplies are quite constrained, and if we hit those in just the right places, it would render China unable to supply it's people with safe water.

ROFL! OK. I guess we should just surrender now.

Our military can sink their entire fleet within minutes.
