- Our newest video goes in depth on what would it take for US military to go after Chinese mainland. It's actually a first out of two videos. This one is all about warfare, numbers and strategy. The second one, coming next week, will deal with the geopolitics of it all.
Here's the link to the companion piece to this video, about the alliances and geopolitical background to such a war: • Would the US military ...

if US is attacked, the Philippines is bound for MDT, basically US can use its airspace or bases.
I used it to always play that
Sorry for not supporting you. I already played when simple history got sponsored by it and i used his link.
Bro!! Wishful thinking!! It would go nuclear ☢️ before this could happen. The reason it would go nuclear is because China would have nothing to close but to destroy the other countries that participate in the invasion of China. Japan and some parts of the United States would cease to exist. China has too many attack submarines and missiles to sit and let their country be taken over.
Everyone in the comments section _definitely_ watched the whole video (including me)
23 minute long video, comment post 21 minutes ago.
2 minutes late but it's better than nothing I for my self actually watched the video but I skipped the sponsor.

Nukes: no one wins and everyone lose
thank you!
I'm not American and I'm not Chinese, I don't care who wins this massive dick-measuring contest they're having. I'm just a guy who lives nowhere near the pacific, who would be exceedingly grateful to not have radioactive shit fall on his head and kill him as a result of a war he cares nothing about.
there will be no one left to win or lose with nukes.
China and US nuking each other and ending horribly, war never changes ig
Nukes won't be used.
Nukes design and useage is quite a controlled war these days. 1 example the right size nuke detonated in high atmosphere is an EMP result. Fries silicon but doesn't kill biologicals. Nukes design and size can be incredibly small yes they can use giant ballistic units but that's not the way to win.
I always remember a quote from the Vietnam war.

Even if it were feasible to defeat China, with a conventional land army, the human cost would be enormous. Nobody would be okay with that.
It would be to defeat china in a Tawain war. Invading China would be impossible unless it got support from India because indias boarder and military is pretty good

Invading china is impossible, the country is far too big, far too urbanized and dense and far too many people. It is literally impossible.
Limited wars are the future. America and China fighting in Taiwan. India and Pakistan fighting in Kashmir. This is how big powers would fight, there is no point trying to invade each other directly because no one wins, it would be a stalemate.

I was in the military 19D....any foreign military trying to invade another country right from the start said military is in a major disadvantage, the us Navy and Air Force would more than likely but not without taking large losses dismantle a majority of it's coastal defensive systems which would be great for our ground forces fighting a much larger army "number wise" in their backyard a location they know like the back of their hand not an impossible task to overcome but an extremely difficult task to overcome, the number of casualties would be massive.

They don’t got uniforms or anything, they’re essentially civilians with weapons. A lot of times they aren’t sure if it’s the enemy or just a civilian and may hesitate. Also even with all this, the us still wins the majority of battles against them, but obviously in their home country people won’t want to give up and will fight til the last person, and eventually the us is gonna say hey stop sending people over we been doing this for years and we haven’t won so the army leave.

I hope 🤞 your chants be real for days to come 🙏
What I've learned from watching a lot of Binkov videos is that most countries can't successfully invade other countries without taking massive losses unless they are many times more powerful. Defensive advantage in geography and logistics is often huge. Especially if the attacking country needs many millions of troops. In this war, the whole global economy would lose.
That won't stop the CCP from taking everyone down with them. Olympic genocide in full swing... after murdering 100million fulong gong
The day The US masters the non nuclear point and field emp, game over. Disabling nuclear capabilities for even an hr would be the end for them both.
True. It’s hard to invade a country without taking massive losses. That’s why america didn’t invade Japan
None of the big 3 can just invade each other and just win in this day and age.

last I recall the Pentagon said they were uncertain of winning a war in the Pacific let alone a conqueat of China but I'm so glad we have so many American war generals in the chat
War General Mike here ... ;)
you like so many others seem to think it is US against China!?
It is not! It is Taiwan, India, British, Japan, US and potentially others ...
The US cannot afford to let China take Taiwan, despite not having a defense treaty. The US/Quad alliance is the only country that can stand up against China. The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) is on the verge of global domination. If the US/Quad alliance dos nothing other countries will say the US ether could not or would not stop the CCP and so they cannot. They would have to aqueous to all the CCPs demands and eventually be controlled by the CCP. This used to be called the domino effect. In time the CCP would become so powerful the US would have to do so too. The CCP would spread its propaganda/censorship/surveillance state all over the world and no one would have freedom or democracy. Freedom of speech would disappear globally. Concentration camps would proliferate worldwide.
> IT WOULD START LIKE THIS: The CCP assumes the US will help Taiwan. The PLA (People’s Liberation Army) attacks Taiwan, the US Navy, and US basses in and around the SCS (South China Sea) preemptively. The US/Quad alliance destroys china's navy, takes the artificial military islands, and lays sedge to mainland China with the hope of regime change or at least containment. The US maintains constant military and economic pressure on the CCPs” Military Industrial Complex” with standoff weapons. In time the CCP anti-aircraft capability might be degraded to the point where less expensive and more effective gravity bombs could be used. With their massive numerical advantage invading mainland China is not an option as it would result in massive casualties and if the CCP elite felt threatened risk a nuclear exchange. The CCP would welcome casualties to trim their population. This would only make them stronger as they already have more people than their land will support (1.4 billion, four times the US population and four times the number of mouths to feed with the same amount of land). China is not self-sufficient in oil, food, iron ore, rare earth ore and many other things. China would become another North Korea. A negotiated peace or even a cease fire would not work as the CCP would not honor any deal it made, rearm, and try again. The only thing that would stop the CCP is the inability to attack. To stay in power and preserve their luxurious lifestyle the CCP would become even more vicious and repressive then they already are. Hopefully, this would result in a revolt that brings down the CCP, vastly improving the quality of life of the Chinese people. The war might go cold in time all by itself without any type of agreement or declared end. There would be no exit strategy. Containment would be the order of the day or maybe the decade or even longer, leaving The Quad free to attack specific targets whenever necessary and close the Strait of Malacca to the CCP. With all deference to Binkov’s Battlegrounds the object of the exercise would be to protect Taiwan, stop CCP expansionism, keep the international sea lanes open, and eliminate the threat to and theft of resources from other countries, NOT the conquering of china. The CCP is watching the US military now free of INF Treaty restrictions reorganize, build capability and alliances in the SCS. Maybe this will be enough to deter them.

@@mikeriley7296 It would be hard to convince other countries to join in a coalition against china, especially with Japan and Korea, since they are very close and would be the first target. They are also economically tied to china, so they have a lot to lose and little to gain in such war. I'm sure Taiwan would join but since they are so close to the mainland, their effectiveness is going to be very limited. As for India, it might have some local advantage over Tibet, but effectively supplying over the the Tibetan plateau would be almost impossible.

They wouldn't try to invade China. It's just not possible for the war not to turn nuclear with two nuclear powers.
Moral of the story: never get involved with a land war in Asia.
A lesson the Japanese army learned the hard way
@Finn Hansen I think you're taking the wrong lesson away from Vietnam and Korea.
.
Korea's lesson was over ambition and a general distaste in the possibility of triggering another world war. While MacArthur wanted all of Korea under the auspices of the west, many others were content with two Koreas.
.
Vietnam was an issue of no real mission or goal. No clear objective. "Kill the other side" has its uses is not the be all or end all. Especially when a lot of the people didn't want us there and saw us as just more colonizers. The US only got involved to help France and fight communism. . and the American people really didn't give a shit about that. Not in the long run.
@Finn Hansen didn't lose. Neither side won, or there would be 1 Korea.
@Finn Hansen they didn't stop there because they didn't want to go further, rather because it wasn't worth it. Both sides decided it was good enough, and completely accomplishing their goals wasn't worth the cost.
@Todd Raine I was actually quoting from The Princess Bride, but yes, that is also true
Why fight a war there when we can fight a war in the comment section?

Your right bro, i got so much to argue with🙄🙄
Hi Binkov. One important factor that should go into your model is oil. As was shown in WW2, oil limitations severely crippled Nazi Germany's ability to maintain both wartime production and fuel for its fighting vehicles and planes. In peacetime, China's economy consumes 13 million barrels per day (B/D) of oil. Of this amount, 5 million is produced domestically (largely concentrated in Heilongjiang province); 1.8 million B/D is sent from Russia by pipeline, which totals 6.8 million B/D. That means that 6.2 million B/D...roughly 48%...is shipped in by sea route via the Malacca Strait, a serious choke-point. Within a month of the assembly of US Navy assets in that area (an area free from Chinese defense), the US could simply cut off half of China's oil supply.
Food is a much larger issue. If you'll read half the reason for genocide in ww2 was limited food stocks to continue the war. Farming then was more manpower intensive tho, and stalin had destroyed agriculture in Ukraine. Add in drafting all the farm help and out see this is a slippery slope. In 1944 corn was $7 a bushel. It's 3.50 today. But the point to make is I don't think China could survive a long drawn out action as their biggest asset (population) is actually their biggest weakness. Can they survive without protein imports? I don't know. But if they all cross the ocean to get there the american navy is in a stronger position to disrupt trade on deep water than china is to secure those routes outside of shallow water. Add in the british ex empire navies, nato, local navies etc, I just don't know where those soybeans will come from or how they can expect to get to china.
Unless Russia did that for the US I don't think that would happen and the US would not attack the Pipeline even on China side of the Pipeline. The processing plants yes. Pipeline doubtful.
@@Matt-mt2vi My figures assume Russia continuing their shipments unchanged; and they wouldn't be able to increase exports in wartime as the pipelines are already maxed out.
@@KrisWustrow my bag, I read as a need to disrupt the oil supply to choke off their supply of fuel. I am still not sure it would have a great effect, even max output prewar, the out put would then basically be all war drive only.. as it did with the US during WW2. all non essential fuel use would be basically cut off. Every thing not military related would be shut down or severely rationed. Plus with China operating in their own region they would not be a great increase consumption of fuel. One of many great failures of the German war effort was how far they operated outside of thier own country. ( Bigger area, bigger fuel use) Which greatly compounded when they failed to gain any of the oil feilds (Middle East or Soviets)
holy shit thats true, when mao zhendong was in charge of china everyone starved and it was NK lol, am chinese, can confirm

Not actual war
Much of those fighting numbers were only trained to March in parades.
As a retired US Army Tank Platoon Sergeant, there is no way the American Army can successfully invade China… The same that China can never invade the US. An actual invasion would require the US to go onto a total war footing, which would include starting up the draft AND having at least United Kingdom, Australia and Japan to be 100% committed to the fight. I don’t think South Korea would jump in, but the US would immediately withdraw our combat units from South Korea AND verbally weaken our commitment in defending South Korean from a North Korean attack, which would place South Korea in a jam since she would have to basically go onto a war footing to protect her own borders. As for Canada, she currently doesn’t have enough combat power, Naval and Air power to really matter. France, Germany, and most of Europe would stay out, but we would pull our combat units out of Europe and telling them not to count on a 100% commitment or an immediate and massive American forces to be deployed to NATO to beat back a Russian attack. We would match French and German numbers that they commit to the fight. In a war, there is no need to invade China since the US can sink her Navy, mash her Air Force, destroy her coastal missile/radar defenses and cripple her harbors and ports. Plus, the US would attack her satellites as well. Yes, China would put up one hell of a fight and would cripple the US military in return. As for those Chinese manmade islands in the South China Sea, they would be attacked and cut off from Chinese reinforcements AND I would bet that Filipino Marines and Rangers, along with Vietnamese Naval Infantry will seize these islands that LEGALLY lay within areas under their control before being stolen by the Chinese. Both the Philippines and Vietnam would receive American Naval support, but they would not join in any other operations or attacks. The wild card is India, but doing the math, India would sit it out. Any fight between the United States and China would mainly be a Naval and Air fight. Both the US Army and Marines would play a minor role unless the mistake was made to invade.
sir, things changed, China currently has the most lethal missiles and better radars than USA
I’m not bluffing but in fact Chinese military is extremely good when it’s doing a defense, it seems to believe that its missiles are future, so now we all know that it will lunch hundreds of hypersonic missiles from its mainland and they will destroy military bases in first island Chain and SK, Japan in minutes
(actually they even have some naval based hypersonic missiles)
and I believe that the US won’t take advantage in air combat either, the F/A 18s can not outcompete J16 (basically SU27+filled with Chinese techs and engines), and F35s also have problem: they can not arrive in the battlefield quickly enough before J20 wipe out the tankers and awacs(Chinese awacs are also more advanced now, why don’t you guys update weapons more often?????)
But a brutal and costly damned war won’t happen if the US don’t intervene Taiwan affairs militarily…
and for army:
I REALLY WANT TO KNKW WHY THERE ARE STILL SOME PEOPLE THINK CN AND US CAN USE THEIR ARMY ACROOS AN ENTIRE PACIFIC)
Even with all that. The US could never land one soldier on Chinese soil.
Plot twist the Russian accent guy who made this video is actually part of the Russian government trying to stir up shit between the us and china to sit back and eat popcorn
I think russias best interest is to prevent this war from happening and just benefit from peking washington rivalry.

China grew arrogant, aggressive and hungry for resources (not unsimilar to US actually...) over years and russias far east might be the next dish on their menu.

The name of the background music
Quality vs Quantity
Made in America vs Made in China
Yes but USA also has quantitative advantage along with qualitative in some aspects
i think this is something he actually didn't consider. the video talks about a war that is longer than a year yet does not model the kind of industrial preparation both side would make before and during such an event. for example, china is the world's largest industrial power, it can, at this very moment, out produce any country. the US has a large industrial base as well. so those tanker losses would get replaced, those Chinese planes losses..will get replaced. the air war is going to last the whole war if china doesn't use them too much, too far outside of it coast there is going to be no total air domination. and taking Hainan is unlikely, far more so than presented, china's land based anti-ship capabilities are unmatched, with the air war undecided those slow defenseless landing ships are going to eat a face full of missiles what what makes it will face 300k well supplied chinese troops. But the end conclusion is probably close to real life, the us isn't going to take china on land without a massive alliance. and im sure some would join, like japan or Australia, but i doubt some others would be willingly joining unless they were attacked, such as vietnam or south korea, some members of europe might jump in, such as the uk, but those would probably be a minor help to the us at best and most would stay out, unless of course it was china that started the war but china has been careful not to, only 3 locations it might attack, india, taiwan if it declared independence, or a north Korean scenario, none of which is an attack on a European ally.
@@Carthodon Its like all of you forget just how large china is. china isn't japan. even right now china is the worlds 6th largest oil producer and can(do) get more from russia and the stans even if the sea trade is cut off, with civilian usaged limited and export business disrupted, it would have tons for the war industry. china is also the 3rd largest iron ore producer, again limit civilian usage/exports(china is the world's largest steel exporter) and there is plenty for the military, and food-wise china is 99% self sufficient in basic staple foods (this is an actual policy), most of the imports are luxury or for animal feed. so they will eat way less meat, thats not gonna kill off production
@@Carthodon most of the oil is used for civilian cars and export business, without/limit those and there is plenty, i literally just said this last comment, you didn't read or what?. iron, is again for export(a part of steel or manufactured goods) there is plenty of production inside china if civilian use is limited and exports halted. neither iron nor oil supply would need to be made up and this kind of scenario is a total war scenario, nothing better to unite the population than a large scary external enemy that is invading you. compared to being conquered i bet that living like it 1995 is not an issue for 99% of its population. simply put, lost of iron and oil imports is going to do nothing to cripple Chinese war capabilities even in a multiple year long war.
@@Carthodon brain drain because other places have better opportunity, the US DOES have some of the best schools in the world and it easier to get into than the best chinese school if you have money. Trump is doing his very best to change that by making it much harder for Chinese students. this isnt unique to china, other places from india to taiwan to turkey all like to go to us/uk for education, hell even kim fatty of north korea was schooled in switzerland. this is not because most people dont like their country, they just have better opportunities else where. and a us invasion of china, especially if china was not the one to start a war would absolutely enrage its population. or do you think most americans would not fight or do something as benign as eat less meat if the Chinese invaded the us? i find the very notion that you think a population of people in a war to defend their country from invasion by a openly hostile power would rather commit treason/surrender without a fight simply because they would have to eat less meat, drive less and maybe cant get a new tv they wanted, completely laughable.

We would definite need either South Korea or India. There is no way we could invade the Chinese mainland. Even then other countries would get involved. It would be a shitshow .
No need for a mainland invasion or taking over any Chinese islands other than the ones in south China Sea.
You see, China is heavily dependent on exports, all US and its allies has to do is cut China from the rest of the world and then play defensive and wait till China either tries to play aggressive, sue for peace or finds its economy devastated. Not a win for the US, but huge loss for China.
south korea isn't going to willingly join that war, doing so will reignite a new korea war(or rather, korean campaign of ww3) koreans will see heavy losses and devastation of their territory regardless of who won. only way it would do so if it was attacked. india would probably love to make a move on its borders but even if it won the combat there, thats about the extent of it, india has zero power projection capabilities and invading china proper would involve a supply route over the Himalayas, no way they get more than 100 km(probably close to 20km) into Tibet before they run out of supply and run into heavy chinese resistance.
@@mxn1948 India has some power projection capabilities, with 2 aircraft carriers and some supply ships. As for supply over the himalayas, it would only be truly difficult if China were to destroy the roads and bridges it has spent years painstakingly building up, and even then, replacement roads don't take too long to build, and tibet is quite flat. The biggest issue for India would be a two-front war as Pakistan would attack from the West, which would occupy 1/3 of the army in defence, or if India was to defeat Pakistan, then half of the army would be needed until Pakistan is conquered, meaning any serious progress over the himalayas would be impossible until then.
@Wuanslm yes, but they still have to get there. currently even american sea lift capabilities can only send ~50k well armed troops+support vehicles in one landing, who then have to fight 200k+ chinese. this is only possible if a large part of the world all fought china and over a couple of years, outproduced china then destroyed its navy then airforce then launched the largest sea born invasion in history making D-day look like a small skirmish. I highly doubt such a unified force would fight china, like why would europe go join this war or why would russia fight china for some reason. even then many millions will die, an actual occupation is going to be a nightmare.
Well its all moot anyhow, things will go nuclear well before then.
The ROC would be a bigger help than either of them. Being able to call it a resumption of the Chinese civil war and merely assisting the nationalist allies could be devastating to the mainland's cohesion, maybe even break the party completely. Not to mention there's already effectively a beachhead in Hong Kong.
It will also depend heavily on US popular support for a war, especially a long-term one, as well as the impact to the modern globalized supply chains (both military and civilian)
With information that will be coming out in the upcoming weeks and months everyone will be calling for china's head on a platter.

My parents told me the same thing when I said I was going to college
You aren't funny
The fact is that China has done so well in economic, technological, political and military terms, and their standard of living has grown so dramatically over the last 45 years that China is not likely to derail their amazing achievements by going into a war that neither side would really be able to declare a victory.
So, China is not the threat that the western media likes to portray.
Secondly, the Chinese government could easily and quickly increase the amount of military spending, and they are investing many billions into advanced weapons like hypersonic glide missiles, anti carrier missiles, laser weapons, very long range SAM and AAM, anti satellite missiles, anti radar missiles, advanced sensors, Stealth aircraft, etc etc, so they are serious about not being in a weak position ever again.
They have the money, industrial capabilities, technological skills, etc that allows China to design, develop, build, deploy and operate large numbers of very advanced weapons and equipment, if they feel the need to do so.
Thirdly, the whole of China's military is concentrated in China, they have a massive and very modern coastguard (bigger than most navies), a very strong armed police force, a large border guard, civilian police force and various other paramilitary forces, they would be a very tough enemy by anyone's standards.
