I think that China could do absolutely untold damage to the American psyche and illusion of invulnerability if it simply instantly obliterated these clowns on Taiwan from hundreds of kilometers away with a cloud of drones dense enough to block out the sun. America treats the navy seals like they are all Master Chief, when in reality they are just guys who can carry a log and swim for a long time or some shit. Maybe that matters when you’re like… raiding a compound of a guy who has been on the run for decades while he’s asleep with Neon Genesis Evangelion playing on the TV, but genuinely what are these guys going to do to actually fight back against China? China will never even let them see a single PLA soldier lmao.
An American who spent time stationed in Kenya (they never could tell me why we have a base there, go figure) told me about a group of navy seals that decided to try to put a t-shirt on a baboon once. Apparently they all ended up in the infirmary.
America isn't sending the brightest.
What if they are
No I told them I sucked dicks in 2003 so they never tried to send me because the gays are icky or something.
Use bases in Africa are mostly drone bases for blowing up whoever we think is ISIS this week. For Kenya they're usually fighting al-Shabbab in southern Somalia.
Now ask me why al-Shabbab has, or at least had, influence in southern Somlia (it's our fault)
