Force extended requires significant amplification.
So for China to impact us in a meaningful way they would have to somehow sneak a force large enough to damage across a pretty wide open space, then maintain that logistically.
Ditto for the RU
That said once in the US you have 300 million small arms manned by 21+ million veterans in the US
Not sure China can actually get that many boots on the US soil before the Navy / Air get a poke or two at them
- spiritcat 8y agoChina/US are probably pretty close to a MAD situation. How many minutes do we have to decide if an oncoming Chinese missile attack is nuclear or conventional these days? And vice-versa. Fun fun.
- gaius 8y agoDitto for the RU Russia is only 55 miles from the US.
- geggam 8y agoYeah... only Russians and Inuit find that area habitable and then we are using that word quite loosely.
