    The Chinese aren’t going to be shooting kisses and rainbows at your little lordship’s F-22

    Most of these people unironically think Chinese people are stone age savages who will throw rocks at the sky in response to an invasion before stealing the blueprints to an F22 and then promptly crashing because "Chinese people can't drive"

    I genuinely think the US is going to be in for a hell of a surprise if fights a war against an industrialized power again, it seems like in Afghanistan they would get pinned down and then just airstrike people who can't do anything back, what are they gonna do when others do the exact same thing

      With as hard as they run 7th Fleet, I can't imagine it surviving a first encounter against Chinese missiles. That puts us back at Guam or Hawaii to fight an offensive war against the country that makes everything. It'd be lost from the first shot if the US is stupid enough to fire.
