Show strength and they'll crawl back into their usual fetal positions. Eh, I wouldn't go that far. But this is the same China who we practically begged to help stop Russia's invasion of Ukraine and avert this war. Which would have been the ideal solution for everyone. And its the same China that pretty much laughed in our face, told the Russians we were on to them, and cheered Russia on from the sidelines. When China thought Russia was going to conquer the country in four days, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bunch of glamorous infantrymen, tanks and attack choppers valiantly fighting each other til the best man wins? No A war between the US and China would be missiles flying thousands of miles across the ocean at each other. There is no logistics in the world that will have our infantry fighting theirs. We are geographically too far apart. A war between us and them would be exclusively long range missiles, and most likely the destruct of civilization.

The point was about how the current militaries in those nations choose to portray themselves. Appealing to the woke <10% of your population in your outreach is having the exact expected effect with military recruitment falling well short of quotas in the US. 5 minutes ago, All_Pro_Bills said: This US recruitment film is a joke, right?

It looks like we've made it a condition of building their new factory here that they can't sell to China. China no likey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
