I'm not saying the United States is not the #1 military power in the world.... But.... are we really? We have a woke military and a president who wears Depends diapers and doesn't know WTF he is even at! I am not sure if we could stop the CCP if they landed troops on our west coast before they got to Colorado. Interested in your thoughts.

Our equipment and actual fighting men and women are probably the best the world has ever seen, as far as projecting power and sheer destructive capability.  

Our politicians and staff officers and above are absolute dogshit.

So Biden is a war monger or he’s militarily inept. Which one?
Other than that ^^ GDism we have a military machine that can be compared to us being a battle ship and the next country in line being a Swift Boat.
That’s how much further ahead we are.

So who elected the politicians and keeps re-electing them? We have many politicians who have attempted a coup 2-3 times and still they get re-elected when they should be in prison.

I’m not sure it’s just the politicians. I don’t think the general public has the stomach for seeing our military truly let off its leash. Look at how Israel is perceived.

No wars between major powers since 1945.  This is historically atypical.  His point is valid.

Our enemies want the American people to feel despair and weakness.  To believe our entire system is a fraud and the American dream is dead.

Despite its faults, the United States military posses more ability to impose its will on enemies than any other.

Easily.

We're the largest of the western powers by a lot, and China's gear is heavily based on Russian designs that are quickly proving to be garbage.

He’s an admiral in the Public fuckin’ Health Service, and a pediatrician at that.  I’ll grant you he looks like hammered shit in that uniform, but it’s pretty unlikely he’ll be called on to serve in a combatant role.

The US military is still the best by a wide margin - but that margin is rapidly shrinking as China modernizes its military while we neglect ours. They'll probably surpass us in the 2040s, assuming neither of us implode before than from mismanagement.

I have seen plenty of people start fights they couldn't finish and get their asses kicked.  Biden is like any weak leader of divided nations.  He desperately needs an outside enemy to direct the anger of the nation and get everyone to unite under his banner.  

War monger and inept are quite fitting for the pedo president.

This isn’t true.

DF21/26, Luyang class destroyer, J-10, etc

Their stuff is way better than the Russian stuff, even the stuff they designed around it like the SU27 to the now J11.

Chinas gear is really top notch. Not sure their tactics or people are.

Comes down to money.  China has it.  If the russian tech were funded well it would probably be better.  Where Russia spends money they have better gear, SAMs and Subs.   China spends it on stuff to deny control of the SCS.  Surface ships and ballistic missiles.

Most peoples’ impression of Chinese products are based on products that are spec’d to be cheap, the Chinese will build to what ever spec you are willing to pay for.    After all, China builds the iPhone, does anyone think they cannot build quality if they have to?
