I recall once the Air Force made a big deal about losing a war game with India. My uncle, a retired USAF colonel told me they probably just wanted to make a compelling case for more funding from Congress.
I believe you're referring to the 'red flag' exercise? during the exercise the mig-21s turned off their radars and combined with their small size were able to get within missile range of the f-15s before being detected. due to this, the usaf saw a need for infrared search and track (irst) systems on aircraft.
You talking about Cope India 2004. First of all, India won that excercise with 9-1 ratio, 2nd of all US lost the exercise 12-1 in 2005 consequently, and in both cases India didn’t even use it’s most advanced Su30MKI fighters. It was a big deal.
@jiene m well yeah, if the F15s did stuff properly the Indian Air force would have been wiped out. But no muh needs for funding takes precedence over actual experience.
@@StopTakingDamnHandles Agreed. I mean it’s not like India is the only country to ever have air dominance in a war using Soviet equipment while encountering American airframes (1971 war) commandeered by pilots trained personally by Chuck Yeager himself, right?

China cant expand. Until they take Taiwan they are still a regional power. Once the island is taken and the US does nothing about it. Then they will be a new super power.
@@Matt-tx1tc The US isn't going to risk WW3 over Taiwan. It seems likely China will make the risk of escalation as high as possible to deter a US response. Probably a blockade around the island with ships and heavy air presence before the invasion. I could see the US creating military alliances similar to NATO with countries surrounding China as a response so deter China from expanding further along with economic sanctions on China and a real new cold war being created.
Short answer: Yes Long answer: Yes, because their citizens are focused on how to overtake the US and help the country while Americans can't decide on which bathroom to use
Long answer corrected: An illegitimate President who nobody wanted stole the election and made it so men can go in the women's restroom to destroy us from within while the Chinese make their move.

Afghanistan was seen as an entry point to Central China and China and Russia’s back yard. The genius that went in didn’t anticipate how much Afghans hate “democracy” and how much China and Russia grew in the 2000s’
While I agree that China is certainly a rising threat, their huge reliance on political power within the military is a fatal flaw. Generals are just as much political figures as the are officers. As long as this is the case, China will be at risk of losing battles because of officer competition.
We all know how the same thing happened with Germany, Hitler was the leader and also acting as a military commander despite having no good knowledge of the military
Having worked with selling goods to China and Chinese government officials, this is incredibly untrue. Officers don't have much power in the political field unless they're higher up. China underwent a huge military change in 2014 and the idea that all officers were political was removed.
According to what? Your own dumb propaganda about other countries? Sounds like the usual "I'm too scared to fight them myself so I can only wish they fight themselves for me." It's just you losers crying about their politics and military for not magically failing for you.
While the US military may be losing experienced members due to strained morale (and various other issues), many of those same members would likely return in the event of a large-scale conflict with China.
Not to mention the tonnage is very much in the favour of the US + the US navy is mainly a blue water navy where as the chinese navy is mainly a green water navy.
China’s “largest navy” consists of two aircraft carriers that they don’t know how to use, which are more comparable not to what we call “supercarriers” but to what we call “amphibious assault ships.” We have I believe 11 supercarriers, but people ignore that we have another two-and-a-half dozen amphibious assault ships that are comparable in size to the French aircraft carriers and can, if needed, launch fixed-wing aircraft. That gives us roughly 40-45 aircraft carrier-type vessels. Forget about the old steam catapults that we are replacing with magnetic launching, China’s aircraft carriers don’t even use the old steam catapults but instead use ramps. It’s like comparing a Civil War-era ironclad to a 20th century dreadnought. China’s fleet of small vessels is simply no match for the U.S. Navy.
@@burgermind802 The chinese government once embraced falun gong until they realized its population was larger than the CCP itself and so decided it must be purged. Calling something "falun gong" is like saying they're back by mormons, it just doesn't fucking matter. They could be backed by Tibetans, Mongolians, Uyghurs, Japanese Koreans Indians philipinos Vietnamese australians and STILL be """biased""" against China.
I don't know why do they say China has the largest navy, by displacement the US Navy is way way larger, 3.437.000 tons among 214 ships, more than 913.000 ton among 300 ships of China. Yes China has more ships but a lot of them are small, and barely oceanic, like the Type 022 missile boats, or Type 056 corvettes. If you count only the number of ships, Iran has the 4th largest navy with 155 ships and boats, but the majority of them are like 20 tons in displacement. The total of Iranian Navies just sum up 31.540 tons. By comparasion Russia has 1.088.000 tons among 218 ships.
An important factor when determining the relative strength of the United States and China is the war games. Wargames basically deal with if this scenario happens what could happen and they do that so that if the scenario does happen they have a counter measure to prepare against it. They’ve been doing that for many years and it’s led to a lot of success.
How could they possibly test what the enemy has anyway? Not only with their biowarfare scenario (gee, how convenient for the propaganda campaign of the times), you hardly ever see them provide details about cyber, electromagnetic, laser, or even missile warfare either.
@@tritium1998 Wargaming is a thing that militaries have been doing for centuries. They take everything they know for sure about an enemy's force composition, run through numerous possible scenarios alternating between optimistic and pessimistic assumptions about what might happen, and have admirals and generals "playing" each side with the goal of defeating the opposing team through warfare that's as realistically modeled as it can get. And the Pentagon has gone on record as saying that, a majority of the time they wargame a possible war with China, the US loses.
I don't think that's the issue, I think it's the fact that US already had top tier destoryers, cruisers and air craft carriers that everything is alot slower for US because they have to invent everything while for china it's easy to catch up But now are suffering with the same problem. They have to invent new ships and thats not cheap or easy.
Well China is debating whether or not to give their soldiers body armor, so maybe we're just running out of useful things to debate meaning we've got our s*** together.

That's what might shock the PLA when they discover the ongoing maintenance and modernization costs of their assets. Unlike China though, America can both manufacture spares _and_ feed and fuel itself when isolated; when shots are fired, China will be spending most of its energy just trying to give regain the confidence of civilian ships scared off by threats of getting caught in the crossfire to sail in with vital supplies and hard currency from export sales.
While China does lack experience, its important to not over exaggerate that. The US doesn't have experience other than attacking unarmed countries. Italy also had more "experience" than Germany before they were attacked and taken over. :)
Right, China also has plenty of debt, corruption, and pollution that it created itself, and its lack of an attractive modern culture means there won't be popular calls to send aid when the PRC implodes from internal unrest as it settles into relative decadence.
@Bear The implosion part, perhaps, but they have some decent points. Everyone and their grandma knows that the demographics in China is an issue. It's essentially a larger version of what Japan is going through. Another crisis that hasn't been mentioned yet is the water shortages that are only getting worse.
Number wise China may possess the world's largest navy, however I think a more accurate measurement of a countries navy is the total tonnage of that navy. For instance, despite having a numerically superior force to the United States, China has significantly less aircraft carriers and its navy is typically composed of smaller less combat capable vessels. When measured by this metric China's navy is actually only the 3rd largest in the world, measuring up to a total of over 700,000 tons. This actually puts China behind Russia whose total navy weighs over 840,000 tons and doesn't even come close to the U.S. navy's 3,400,000 tons.
That was an estimate from years ago. As of 2019, China's navy had a total tonnage of over 2 million tons while the American navy measured at 4.6 million tons.
American navy operates in many area of the world, the Chinese on the other hand only focusing on expand their capabilities around the pacific, especially within 1000 miles beyond their coastline, their goal is to protect their mainland and project strength to area like Japan, Taiwan and countries of south East Asian, totally different goals compare with the US, so they do not have to match the US toe to toe in the overall naval tonnage, they only have to surpass the US power in the pacific region.
@@team3am149 you're going to need a source to back that claim here's mine... worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/largest-navies-in-the-world Also I'm aware that the U.S. and Russian navies are dispersed across the world unlike the Chinese navy, but the point of comparison was made to highlight that despite all of its recent gains China still has a long way to go before it can be considered a serious contender for world supremacy. As it stands now China is a very strong great power, but not a superpower.
@@vetic5011 lmao i still remember when they did that shit. i couldn't imagine them ever taking the islands like they did HK, but everyone is sleeping so hard on them i wouldn't be surprised if they pulled it off before they fizzled out.
If you have lived during 90s, the talk all over the world was when Japan was going to surpass U.S. as the world's biggest economy and pre-eminent technological power. By projection of GDP growth back then, that would surely happen around 2010. So as you can see, number don't tell the whole story. As country develops modern economy, it will run out cheap labor and techonologies that it can copy, the future development become much harder as well as having to deal with whole range of new issues like aging population, welfare, unempolyment, debt. People that worry about a chinese rise should instead worry about chinese collaspse, which would more than likely not be peaceful.
@HMS Blackprice - The U.S. can force China to "give up their economy" by locking down its trade secrets which China blatantly steals at every opportunity, place massive tariffs on all Chinese goods and return manufacturing to the domestic landscape and then telling China that if you set one foot on Taiwan we default on their debt. ;)

Quiet or not, you don’t want a world run by this so-called China. At the end of the day, despite the money, despite the state-associated billionaires, they’re still a communist authoritarian regime. They will implode because there is no foundation. Fake patriotism at the point of a gun... a population that will soon decline by half... and if it comes to war, their current cohort of their military-aged population is by and large single-sons who either have single children or have not had children. If they were to be lost in large numbers, deep societal distress will occur.
@@chrismagliolo6930 Never before had a dictatorship an intelligence and censorship system so sophisticated like China, not to doompost but they basically spy on their own population with no restraint and I believe this new form of overwhelming control is going to make a the regime sit pretty comfortably in power
@@keksentdecker You’re right that they’re sophisticated in their domestic intelligence apparatus. But they have some additional issues that are eroding their foundations. Their dollar reserves are running low. Monetary liquidity of the world’s only legitimate reserve currency will harm them. They’d suffer massively in embargoes or war because they import such a substantial amount of food (or steal from fisheries in foreign EEZs but still an import). Their infrastructure is poorly designed and built. Don’t mistake my opinion (humbly, an assessment) that they aren’t a real threat. But I’d like to push them closer to imploding. We need to remember that they are isolated and have vulnerabilities while being a viable threat. I want them to overstep too soon. I want them to get punished militarily and then see regional power brokers begin to fight each other.
I assume that the point of war game scenarios which inflict a loss on our forces are then used to train and prepare to prevent such a loss in real combat. You gain nothing from rigged war games that you always win. Every general quarters drill I took part in when I was in the Navy involved something getting through our defenses and training us to respond to the casualty. How realistic that training was, I don't honestly know as it was never put the to test against a enemy when I served in the 90's but I would like to think it at least taught us the fundamentals for us to base our response on and then adapt from there depending on the situation.
The US has the advantage for now, but with it's deteriorating infrastructure and inability to enact meaningful reforms will doom it to a fate similar to the Soviet Union.
@John Smith And while they are launching missiles into the sea, we are launching them into their mainland. The Kill chain is much harder to complete than you realize, and the longer away the targets, the farther the ships can move before they get there. Also, the DF17 and 21 have a range at best of about 1500 miles.. that hardly enough to cover the Pacific, even if they are remotely accurate. (Which has not been shown at all.)
Something I wonder is why we don’t just attack first while we’re still a little ahead of them. We shouldn’t wait until they’re strong, we should snuff out the flame before it can grow too large to deal with. I’m enlisting in December and wholeheartedly believe that I’d fight for this cause. The US and it’s views must stay on top.

One of the main reasons the USA is where it is today is because of our military advantage and global presence. It annoys me when politicians argue for stalling or reversing our military growth, especially when facing governments that have no problem making people work for next to nothing to drive their production. The fact that we keep on trading with China on large scales doesn't help either. If we dropped most trade with China, it would suck for a while but it would force production to be built elsewhere. If done right, that place would be in the USA. If not, at least it gets dispersed to other poorer nations that don't hate us.
@Win Everything No, I mean trying to encourage governments that operate like ours does. It isn't perfect, but it is pretty good compared to the rest of the world.

The thing is. The US has stronger and more allies. I've always thought that is the defining difference between China and the US. The real concern is how weak those alliances have gotten over the years.
Trump didn't help, but from what I've heard the alliances are still more then strong enough, aside from Vietnam and the Philippines perhaps. Hell, the US still has a major naval base in Japan, and thousands of troops in SK. The threat of China will be enough to keep the alliances together.
Trump massively weakenes the alliances with his stile, but our allies have still strengthened their armies in the last years. In europe, defense budgets have massively increased since 2014 (although theyre more concerned with keeping Putin in check) and our allies in Asia have geared up as well.

From 5:35 to 5:46, is the main point of this video. Before a nation becomes a superpower, it needs a LOT of experience to achieve superpower status. So, even if you have the largest army but have no experience, it is utterly useless. But of course, their numbers can overwhelm the enemy, so they must not be underestimated.

China has a HUGE population, and while many roles require comprehensive training, when it comes down to it, a human wave attack of poorly trained soldiers can negate the advantages of tech, training etc. Added to this, they're going to be far less concerned with high casualty figures and public opinion
I doubt it. Not that they will throw conscripts en masse, but that it will negate the advantages the US has. Thinking in the simplest terms, one elite unit with plenty of experience will take down more than one poorly equipped unit with zero experience. In the end, the side who can deploy its units fastest will have a decisive advantage, and the US are not unacquainted to quick overseas deployments.
@@DonVigaDeFierro no, and I probably should have clarified, it's a strategy that only works on land, but picture a future conflict between the US and China. The USMC have gotten a division ashore, and have a toehold of a beach head. I'm certain the Chinese army wont hesitate to send tens of divisions of cannon fodder to the front to soak up bullets and inflict losses in order to force a retreat. Yes, the US overcame that in Korea, but at the time of the armastice, they were going backwards from the Yalu river, not towards it, and ops in Iraq and Afghanistan exposed weaknesses in Western strategies that can be exploited, namely, suicide attacks, and hesitancy to slaughter civilians. The first wave would probably be Chinese farmers and their families, being driven in front of the infantry or mingled amongst it
In a recent war game the US and UK worked together to try out new tactics in terms of effective deployment of drones and such like on the battlefield. 100 Royal Marine Commandos beat a force of 1,500 troops. The point being that they worked, and that was against peer troops. Chinese forces have no battle experience whatsoever.
There won't be a land war though. In fact it the ground force might be intentionally left alive to consume the dwindling food and fuel stocks as civilian ships are scared off by the threat of crossfire. The PLA could employ its massive anti-ship missile arsenal, but as its limited long range sensors get destroyed they'll become overly-expensive short range weapons. Most of its internet would be physically cut off, and cyber forces deployed outside the country would have to stay on the run from local police if its host nation decides it does not want to be painted as a Chinese ally and likewise targeted itself. China might bluster about its new abilities to confront America directly, but it knows it has no hope against America _and_ its Asian allies. And its war weariness might rise surprisingly high as One-Child Mainland families wonder where their only son "disappeared" to during service to the Party.

Only if it wants to expand through the Pacific. If it maintains a defensive ring around it's own coast and expands through Eurasia those fleets are irrelevant. It's interesting to see the number of commenters who believe China will be on the offensive and don't consider their own militaries trying to attack the Chinese mainland.
Yes,U.S. has 11 carriers,but not all of them can be operational at the same time. Out of those 11 carriers,only about 5 or 6 of time can be participating in the fight at the same time. The rest of them either go to the shipyard(Newport,for example) or homebase or they are about to train together with the air squadrons and the escort fleets to form a Combat Group. So when a real high-end war is burst out.Those carriers with about 20 or 25 squadrons actually have very limited power.

@@tradecraft9026 Even today the US is only weak when they violate their constitution. Look at the last election, almost brought the US to its knees, if it was not for their constitution, they would have had a military coup (called for by trump supporters) followed by collapse look at trump's policies through out his term leading up to the elections; banned people of different religions and race entry to the US in violation of their constitution, ask the farmers if they enjoyed that for example. Last time before that the US was weak was during their civil war, why? Because they violated their own constitution and denied people of a different race their most basic God given rights and freedoms. England almost invaded the US during the civil war, only thing that held them back was their concern that other European nations would try to invade them in turn because their position would have been weakened across the atlantic.
Wages... 900b is a lot but a substantial chunk of that is wages. Another substantial chunk of that is logistics. Since China don't try to operate all over the place their logistics costs are low. And since their wages are much lower, meaning purchasing price and labour is lower China don't need to spend 900b to have effective parity. I'm not saying they have effective parity I'm just pointing out that the money figure alone isn't indicative of capability

The CCP has expressed it's desire to become the single superpower over the world as a comeback from the humiliation China has experienced in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It currently has border disputes with virtually all of its neighbors, to the point of utterly disrespecting the sovereignty of nations that do not have the capacity to fend off Chinese warships by literally building airfields on disputed islands. The islands it has claimed thus far are all strategic areas that will allow the PLA to project their power even further across the Asia-Pacific. Even the acts the CCP is committing against ethnic Uyghurs of Xinjiang province is the definition of subjugation, and more. It is reaching the point where I, a Filipino citizen, feel constantly threatened at the rising Chinese aggression against my country, which cannot possibly hope to defend itself from China.

I recall once the Air Force made a big deal about losing a war game with India. My uncle, a retired USAF colonel told me they probably just wanted to make a compelling case for more funding from Congress.
I believe you're referring to the 'red flag' exercise? during the exercise the mig-21s turned off their radars and combined with their small size were able to get within missile range of the f-15s before being detected. due to this, the usaf saw a need for infrared search and track (irst) systems on aircraft.
You talking about Cope India 2004. First of all, India won that excercise with 9-1 ratio, 2nd of all US lost the exercise 12-1 in 2005 consequently, and in both cases India didn’t even use it’s most advanced Su30MKI fighters. It was a big deal.

@Redsand how is more resources somehow more important than losing NEARLY SOLE SUPERPOWER STATUS?!
Agreed. Leave Afghan to China, Iran or Russia to deal with, keeping them busy in stabilizing the region, and redivert resources to the Pacific. QUAD alliance is a good place to start.
Afghanistan was seen as an entry point to Central China and China and Russia’s back yard. The genius that went in didn’t anticipate how much Afghans hate “democracy” and how much China and Russia grew in the 2000s’
While I agree that China is certainly a rising threat, their huge reliance on political power within the military is a fatal flaw. Generals are just as much political figures as the are officers. As long as this is the case, China will be at risk of losing battles because of officer competition.
Underrated comment. Politics have no place in militaries, and doing so always results in military failures.
We all know how the same thing happened with Germany, Hitler was the leader and also acting as a military commander despite having no good knowledge of the military
Having worked with selling goods to China and Chinese government officials, this is incredibly untrue. Officers don't have much power in the political field unless they're higher up. China underwent a huge military change in 2014 and the idea that all officers were political was removed.
One could say the same the the Generals in the United States military.
According to what? Your own dumb propaganda about other countries? Sounds like the usual "I'm too scared to fight them myself so I can only wish they fight themselves for me." It's just you losers crying about their politics and military for not magically failing for you.
While the US military may be losing experienced members due to strained morale (and various other issues), many of those same members would likely return in the event of a large-scale conflict with China.

China’s “largest navy” consists of two aircraft carriers that they don’t know how to use, which are more comparable not to what we call “supercarriers” but to what we call “amphibious assault ships.” We have I believe 11 supercarriers, but people ignore that we have another two-and-a-half dozen amphibious assault ships that are comparable in size to the French aircraft carriers and can, if needed, launch fixed-wing aircraft. That gives us roughly 40-45 aircraft carrier-type vessels. Forget about the old steam catapults that we are replacing with magnetic launching, China’s aircraft carriers don’t even use the old steam catapults but instead use ramps. It’s like comparing a Civil War-era ironclad to a 20th century dreadnought. China’s fleet of small vessels is simply no match for the U.S. Navy.

They obviously weren't counting the small boats though, otherwise the total would have been even bigger.
@@tritium1998 exactly
I don't know why do they say China has the largest navy, by displacement the US Navy is way way larger, 3.437.000 tons among 214 ships, more than 913.000 ton among 300 ships of China.
Yes China has more ships but a lot of them are small, and barely oceanic, like the Type 022 missile boats, or Type 056 corvettes.
If you count only the number of ships, Iran has the 4th largest navy with 155 ships and boats, but the majority of them are like 20 tons in displacement. The total of Iranian Navies just sum up 31.540 tons.
By comparasion Russia has 1.088.000 tons among 218 ships.
Iran's strategy in navy is different because. Its swarms with small boats that can launch missiles, I don't think tonnage matters much here.
An important factor when determining the relative strength of the United States and China is the war games. Wargames basically deal with if this scenario happens what could happen and they do that so that if the scenario does happen they have a counter measure to prepare against it. They’ve been doing that for many years and it’s led to a lot of success.
Good thing to point out.
The media just makes it sound like a test, and almost makes it sound like something they're willing to accept.
Worth pointing out that the US has admitted to losing a majority of the wargames that play out a scenario in which the US goes to war with China.
How could they possibly test what the enemy has anyway? Not only with their biowarfare scenario (gee, how convenient for the propaganda campaign of the times), you hardly ever see them provide details about cyber, electromagnetic, laser, or even missile warfare either.
@@tritium1998 Wargaming is a thing that militaries have been doing for centuries. They take everything they know for sure about an enemy's force composition, run through numerous possible scenarios alternating between optimistic and pessimistic assumptions about what might happen, and have admirals and generals "playing" each side with the goal of defeating the opposing team through warfare that's as realistically modeled as it can get.
And the Pentagon has gone on record as saying that, a majority of the time they wargame a possible war with China, the US loses.
@@Epistolary8 they do that to get more funding and make the enemy relax a little.
Simple argument: The US Navy is busy debating why lipsticks are good/bad while China knows what's important

They have to invent new ships and thats not cheap or easy.

That's what might shock the PLA when they discover the ongoing maintenance and modernization costs of their assets. Unlike China though, America can both manufacture spares _and_ feed and fuel itself when isolated; when shots are fired, China will be spending most of its energy just trying to give regain the confidence of civilian ships scared off by threats of getting caught in the crossfire to sail in with vital supplies and hard currency from export sales.

Nope, They have their problems but it's very unlikely that they fall apart completely,
Number wise China may possess the world's largest navy, however I think a more accurate measurement of a countries navy is the total tonnage of that navy.
For instance, despite having a numerically superior force to the United States, China has significantly less aircraft carriers and its navy is typically composed of smaller less combat capable vessels. When measured by this metric China's navy is actually only the 3rd largest in the world, measuring up to a total of over 700,000 tons. This actually puts China behind Russia whose total navy weighs over 840,000 tons and doesn't even come close to the U.S. navy's 3,400,000 tons.
That was an estimate from years ago. As of 2019, China's navy had a total tonnage of over 2 million tons while the American navy measured at 4.6 million tons.
American navy operates in many area of the world, the Chinese on the other hand only focusing on expand their capabilities around the pacific, especially within 1000 miles beyond their coastline, their goal is to protect their mainland and project strength to area like Japan, Taiwan and countries of south East Asian, totally different goals compare with the US, so they do not have to match the US toe to toe in the overall naval tonnage, they only have to surpass the US power in the pacific region.

If you have lived during 90s, the talk all over the world was when Japan was going to surpass U.S. as the world's biggest economy and pre-eminent technological power. By projection of GDP growth back then, that would surely happen around 2010. So as you can see, number don't tell the whole story. As country develops modern economy, it will run out cheap labor and techonologies that it can copy, the future development become much harder as well as having to deal with whole range of new issues like aging population, welfare, unempolyment, debt.
People that worry about a chinese rise should instead worry about chinese collaspse, which would more than likely not be peaceful.
@HMS Blackprice - The U.S. can force China to "give up their economy" by locking down its trade secrets which China blatantly steals at every opportunity, place massive tariffs on all Chinese goods and return manufacturing to the domestic landscape and then telling China that if you set one foot on Taiwan we default on their debt. ;)

Quiet or not, you don’t want a world run by this so-called China. At the end of the day, despite the money, despite the state-associated billionaires, they’re still a communist authoritarian regime.
They will implode because there is no foundation. Fake patriotism at the point of a gun... a population that will soon decline by half... and if it comes to war, their current cohort of their military-aged population is by and large single-sons who either have single children or have not had children. If they were to be lost in large numbers, deep societal distress will occur.
@@chrismagliolo6930 Never before had a dictatorship an intelligence and censorship system so sophisticated like China, not to doompost but they basically spy on their own population with no restraint and I believe this new form of overwhelming control is going to make a the regime sit pretty comfortably in power
@@keksentdecker You’re right that they’re sophisticated in their domestic intelligence apparatus. But they have some additional issues that are eroding their foundations.
Their dollar reserves are running low. Monetary liquidity of the world’s only legitimate reserve currency will harm them. They’d suffer massively in embargoes or war because they import such a substantial amount of food (or steal from fisheries in foreign EEZs but still an import). Their infrastructure is poorly designed and built.
Don’t mistake my opinion (humbly, an assessment) that they aren’t a real threat. But I’d like to push them closer to imploding. We need to remember that they are isolated and have vulnerabilities while being a viable threat.
I want them to overstep too soon. I want them to get punished militarily and then see regional power brokers begin to fight each other.
I assume that the point of war game scenarios which inflict a loss on our forces are then used to train and prepare to prevent such a loss in real combat. You gain nothing from rigged war games that you always win. Every general quarters drill I took part in when I was in the Navy involved something getting through our defenses and training us to respond to the casualty. How realistic that training was, I don't honestly know as it was never put the to test against a enemy when I served in the 90's but I would like to think it at least taught us the fundamentals for us to base our response on and then adapt from there depending on the situation.

No, China’s Navy wouldn’t be able to force its way past the second island chain, let alone fight in deep water.

And while they are launching missiles into the sea, we are launching them into their mainland.
The Kill chain is much harder to complete than you realize, and the longer away the targets, the farther the ships can move before they get there.

I love how you placed a video of my home country, the Philippines, in a China-related video LMAO.
One of the main reasons the USA is where it is today is because of our military advantage and global presence. It annoys me when politicians argue for stalling or reversing our military growth, especially when facing governments that have no problem making people work for next to nothing to drive their production. The fact that we keep on trading with China on large scales doesn't help either. If we dropped most trade with China, it would suck for a while but it would force production to be built elsewhere. If done right, that place would be in the USA. If not, at least it gets dispersed to other poorer nations that don't hate us.
@Win Everything It isn't as simple as that, but sure. The USA has done a lot to promote the idea done our way. It usually works out better that way.
@Win Everything No, I mean trying to encourage governments that operate like ours does. It isn't perfect, but it is pretty good compared to the rest of the world.
@Win Everything I never said the USA is perfect. I do say that it is generally better than most, if not all, other countries overall. If you are such a snarky critical thinker, perhaps you should consider all the messed up stuff your own country has done before making another comment like that.
Little grammar correction, you say "less destroyers, less cruisers, etc" when you should be saying "fewer destroyers, fewer cruisers". Fewer is for discrete values, while less is for continuous ones. Figured I'd help ya out so you sound more pro, I ain't tryin to talk shit or anything. Great video.
The thing is. The US has stronger and more allies. I've always thought that is the defining difference between China and the US. The real concern is how weak those alliances have gotten over the years.
Pretty sure the alliances are still strong enough to be maintained. But that does raise questions though.
Trump didn't help, but from what I've heard the alliances are still more then strong enough, aside from Vietnam and the Philippines perhaps. Hell, the US still has a major naval base in Japan, and thousands of troops in SK. The threat of China will be enough to keep the alliances together.
Trump massively weakenes the alliances with his stile, but our allies have still strengthened their armies in the last years. In europe, defense budgets have massively increased since 2014 (although theyre more concerned with keeping Putin in check) and our allies in Asia have geared up as well.

There's also the issue not mentioned. China has a HUGE population, and while many roles require comprehensive training, when it comes down to it, a human wave attack of poorly trained soldiers can negate the advantages of tech, training etc. Added to this, they're going to be far less concerned with high casualty figures and public opinion
I doubt it. Not that they will throw conscripts en masse, but that it will negate the advantages the US has. Thinking in the simplest terms, one elite unit with plenty of experience will take down more than one poorly equipped unit with zero experience. In the end, the side who can deploy its units fastest will have a decisive advantage, and the US are not unacquainted to quick overseas deployments.
@@DonVigaDeFierro no, and I probably should have clarified, it's a strategy that only works on land, but picture a future conflict between the US and China. The USMC have gotten a division ashore, and have a toehold of a beach head. I'm certain the Chinese army wont hesitate to send tens of divisions of cannon fodder to the front to soak up bullets and inflict losses in order to force a retreat.
Yes, the US overcame that in Korea, but at the time of the armastice, they were going backwards from the Yalu river, not towards it, and ops in Iraq and Afghanistan exposed weaknesses in Western strategies that can be exploited, namely, suicide attacks, and hesitancy to slaughter civilians. The first wave would probably be Chinese farmers and their families, being driven in front of the infantry or mingled amongst it
In a recent war game the US and UK worked together to try out new tactics in terms of effective deployment of drones and such like on the battlefield.
100 Royal Marine Commandos beat a force of 1,500 troops.
The point being that they worked, and that was against peer troops.
Chinese forces have no battle experience whatsoever.
There won't be a land war though. In fact it the ground force might be intentionally left alive to consume the dwindling food and fuel stocks as civilian ships are scared off by the threat of crossfire. The PLA could employ its massive anti-ship missile arsenal, but as its limited long range sensors get destroyed they'll become overly-expensive short range weapons. Most of its internet would be physically cut off, and cyber forces deployed outside the country would have to stay on the run from local police if its host nation decides it does not want to be painted as a Chinese ally and likewise targeted itself.
China might bluster about its new abilities to confront America directly, but it knows it has no hope against America _and_ its Asian allies. And its war weariness might rise surprisingly high as One-Child Mainland families wonder where their only son "disappeared" to during service to the Party.
