And what is the military history of a country to do with one can comment on the military capabilities/feats of another country? To me, that smells like shit.

LOL, I have been there. Trust me, they are not better. And if you read memories of Portuguese soldiers who fought there, they tell you that the Rhodesians are convinced idiots. Each side said that about the other side. Is normal.

Well, the next time you suffer a left-wing revolution, call me.

Well, in our case the left revolutionary gov decided to 'gift' the ex-colonies to pro-Soviet movements. In your case, you are tired of war. And we have the excuse of being a poor country fighting against forces supported by the three biggest nations. What is yours? For context, at the time the...

Not exactly - the new gov (very left side) decided to abandon the colonies, giving them independence. The troops withdraw after that. Read a bit of that piece of history before passing judgment.

Hmmm, let me see... WW1 - in the allied side - win. WW2 - neutral. Colonial Wars - COIN against forces supported by the US, USSR, and China, only withdraw (not defeated) because of revolution on the European territory. Not too bad for a small, poor country.

I see that a lot of people here drink too much murika fucking yeah cool-aid. That's fair, is their preference for drinking of sorts. Now, confunding that with reality... Is like believing in Santa Claus. Waste of time discussing with dreamers.

F-15, F-16, and F-18 are 4th-generation aircraft - just saying.

"You do not understand the true power of US military" LOL After WW2 - that you don't fight alone, btw One draw - Korea. all others wars - abject failures. Yes, yes, spare me the ' is the politicians, not the militaries'. You don't understand what a military is for. BTW the true power of the US...

Yes, the Patriot shot down the Kinzhal - with his units. Just see the video of that attack. The Patriot battery shot itself dry and you see two big explosions on the ground - and reports of the Patriot battery being damaged. They get lucky because they are not hit on the central units. Spare me...

The Americans confound the richest military with the best military. They have the first, not the second. About corruption - the Pentagon failed for the seventh consecutive year to get an audit. Nuff said. Going to war against China is going into a war in which they don't have air superiority...

Zach, Zach, China has Stealth planes/drones. If you think that the ground forces don't train against them, you are delusional. About the USN - in the past decades they have had several serious accidents that show that most of the ships are undercrewed, said crew is overworked and badly trained...

For that you need to rebuild the industry - that takes at least 20 years, if everything goes right. And that if the other side does nothing to oppose you - good luck with that. The easy times are over. Deal with that. Don't forget that in the last 20+ years in the US universities in the hard...

Indeed. Let's hope none of us is proven right or wrong.

By that time a hundred US cities were nuke hit - the most important ones. Because that kind of attack gets that kind of answer. Face it - you can't attack that kind of adversary without that kind of answer. China is not the 5th-grade usual adversary that the US has used to face in the last...

Oh, btw, is three continents, no two. Asia, Europe, and Africa.

No, I think if War breaks between China and the US we are all Fucked. capital F. But to answer your question, that rail is enough to delay the collapse of China's economy. And don't forget that the US economy at that time was also on the clock. The bottom line - the world economy is fucked...

Funny, Chinese rail transportation already arrived in London several years ago (and in massive numbers). I see that you are behind the news. A lot. No surprise. Hint - to arrive in London, they have to pass by all of the EU. Do the math, yes even you can. Add the Arctic path (or whatever is...

At the same time, the Chinese Air Force/Navy/Rocket Branch can deny US commerce with Japan/SK/Taiwan. Add that to the no commerce with China and care to bet how much the US economy is fucked? Hint - is a sucker bet.

That shows that you don't understand how much the new 'Silk Road' / Extended railroads around all of Asia/Europe changed that. Right now China can do a lot of commerce with Asia/Europe/Africa without US interference.
