Imagine how much stronger could US military get if they just stopped wasting so much money on overpriced defense contracts. Cost-efficiency isn't an American strong suit but the US defense budget is still massive enough that all of the great powers combined still wouldn't have comparable capabilities.

      There is a huge difference between regional superpower that can deploy mass forces across its border and a global superpower that can deploy mass firepower anywhere on the globe. There is only one global superpower, and that superpower has made it a point to not be territorially predacious and gather enthusiastic allies.

The four Ohio class SSGNs had 22 launch tubes converted to carry clusters of seven Tomahawk cruise missiles each for a total of 154 Tomahawks. The remaining two launch tubes are converted to swimmer lockout chambers for Navy SEALs or USMC MARSOC teams.

      You think this thing doesn't happen? Then you're extremely naive to how the world works. By the way, in 2002, John Bolton said the following to the head of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons:
      “You have 24 hours to leave the organization, and if you don’t comply with this decision by Washington, we have ways to retaliate against you. We know where your kids live. You have two sons in New York.”
      Why? Because he was doing his job, which meant that he wasn't towing their line regarding Saddam.

      Sir/maam.... While it is highly likely a back channel conversation went very close to what you describe, it is unlikely that the United States would ever spend this much gas, labor, and wear & tear on our toys for such a miniscule purpose alone. Syria? Chemicals? Tiny contingent of lost Russians? As everyone knows and chides us, we like our gas and we LOVE our national toys.
      Add to this that American generals are NOT graded by their American peers on the total destruction, but instead by the efficiency with which we achieve it. Think cleaver vs scalpel. The Joint Chiefs and Secretary of Doom would never allow such a massive expenditure (yes dollars & oil) or showboat this wildly without a larger / deeper message to the rest of the world and in particular our would-be military opponents. I haven't compared timelines of Chinese, Russian, or Iranian shenanigans, but I'm sure some intel with the big 3 would match up. Idiots in North Korea as a lesser non-existent threat, but just cause they get a severe case of the Dumbs sometimes.
      In my best guess, the message sent was not even delivered to Syria, or for that matter to Russia in the "don't respond" sense. They were just the unfortunate morons that through their recklessness ended up being the courier for the true message.
      THE United States (generally) only demonstrates this kind of total unnecessarily complex and coordinated Doom Attack for communicating superpower capability.... sorry let me try that again.... SUUUUPERPOWERRRRR capability to our top 3 or 4 adversaries around the world.
      Because this kind of attack is completely overwhelming for ANY nation on earth, it is extraordinarily effective in communicating to the other puppies getting itchy....

Owing to the lack of air battles and dog fights, in the type of warfare since their inception. Im sure people who follow these things know that, but I just recently starting reading about them and found that super interesting.

      RCS is too low, plus even if they did know they couldn't do anything as I'm pretty sure F-22 outrates SU-33 in most situations even with SU-33 3D thrust vectoring the only plane in the world that could beat F-22 in traditional eye to eye dogfight is a SU-57 and there isn't many of those.
      Anyways I doubt there will be too many SU-57 built since the Russians will probably move to trying to get a plane capable of competing with the F-35 since that's the new thing.

      @@WinterXR7 Except in the real-world what would happen is that a F22 would take steers from an AWACS or its own passive sensors, and just launch a Slammer from max range. The enemy jet would have about 3 seconds to react as the missile came out of nowhere and its seeker head locked on/made the threat-warning receiver light up. And the enemy jet would still never see the F22.

      They don’t even imagine it themselves. Putin has very clearly said that Russia wouldn’t stand a chance - which is exactly why they won’t allow Ukraine in NATO. They need their nuclear arsenal to remain as a deterrent and it’s hard to do that if NATO can deploy radars in Ukraine.

      ​@@mithrandirthegrey7644 Just to clarify, the way Russia is not allowing Ukraine into NATO is by having a war with Ukraine... Ukraine will very likely become a member of NATO if the war with Russia ever ends. We (NATO) just don't want to be pulled into a direct conflict with Russia right now... Who knows what may happen in the future that may lead to NATO adding Ukraine anyway... Like if Russia is crazy enough to attack a NATO member because they are supporting Ukraine, or if it becomes obvious that Russia has become very weak economically, politically, and/or militarily and cannot really continue the war.

      @@mithrandirthegrey7644 With their thousands of nukes, nothing would help prevent the end of the world if a nuclear war broke out and radars in Ukraine aren't needed for detection of a nuclear launch or a retaliatory strike. Russia doesn't want Ukraine to join NATO because they'd much rather control Ukraine themselves.

      Because all it takes is one threat to be carried out and we’re in the Stone Age. The growing callous disregard of nuclear apocalypse by arm chair generals in the west talking about nukes like they’re an archaic long forgotten threat is so alarming. We haven’t even had nukes for a century and already people are treating them like they no longer exist and should push ever closer to open war with other powers.
