    Future War with (Red) China Hypotheticals/Theorycrafting

    Invading mainland China was only possible during MacArthur's time; it is not even remotely in the cards now. Airstikes, sure, but invasion forces doing forced landings againt Beijing or Shanghai, not a chance. These days it's not even remotely in the minds of the US military or public to...

    Future War with (Red) China Hypotheticals/Theorycrafting

    China is currently regearing a bunch of civie ferries for use as troop transports. Those are not exactly hardened vessels, and do not have the same level of DC gear built in. However, all of this ignores that China may chose to keep at it with the grey zone/socio-economic tactics no amount of...

    Future War with (Red) China Hypotheticals/Theorycrafting

    Not to mention the US Virginia class subs likely sitting in the straight, or any other undersea defenses that could sink a lot of landing ships or thier escorts.

    Future War with (Red) China Hypotheticals/Theorycrafting

    A political L is still an L, and just means we wasted a lot of soldiers lives for effectively no gain. Vietnam was a clusterfuck that we allowed to happen because the French (or more specifically de Gaulle) wanted to diminish US military power because it viewed itself as a legit competitor for...

    Future War with (Red) China Hypotheticals/Theorycrafting

    You can insult me and yell at me for believing the mounting evidence, it is not going to change things. The fact is either the bug came from a biolab, or it came from nature, and we have lots and lots of evidence pointing to it being a lab. It is also hardly useless as a bioweapon, it's been...

    You insisting it wasn't doesn't actually change the large amount of evidence, including whistleblowers from China itself, claiming it was. It might not have been intentional, but that doesn't change how it has affected the world. Nor does your instance we would beat China change the fact the...

    Future War with (Red) China Hypotheticals/Theorycrafting

    And as I have said, they already did a WMD attack on the whole damn world with the Wu Flu, and the US military now seems more focused on wokeness than effectiveness. I no longer have any confidence in anything but our nuclear forces, and if those come into play, things are FUBAR.

    Future War with (Red) China Hypotheticals/Theorycrafting

    So this belongs here I figure. China has basically won against the US even in the minds of some of our military strategists, as it seems even our own military is admitting China would beat us, and fast, if it came to a shooting war after a 'biological attack' aka the Wu Flu. Congrats to Xi the...

    I think I saw the same one; I think it was in Air and Space magazine a long time ago. But I thought it was just replacing the old tanks and landing instruments/radar?

    If you want to claim it is fake, do so, and present proof. Otherwise stop saying the site I got it from, and me by extension, are posting deep fakes.

    Let me put it this way, I see no reason to doubt the validity of that article, particularly when we are talking about sat imagery that is not easy to fake.

    Tyler is part of TheDrive.com, which is not exactly DoD, but pretty dependable on military matters.

    Well this whole situation is getting less 'theoretical' everyday. How long till they reactivate Midway?
