I'm not saying that, I'm that the entirety of the US military is incompetent and pumped too full of cash (despite its many failures) that's it's ridiculous to act like no one can compete.
> The US and allies
I know we like to take our satellite states for granted, but that day will come to an end and it seems likely that taking real action against China could be the catalyst.
- jvanderbot 7y agoI hear you and I see the consistency of your arguments, and acknowledge development and production failures and large budgets, but disagree it implies incompetence across the board.
- infecto 7y agoI agree its pumped full of cash but I think you would be surprised at how much worse the Chinese military can be.
- PeterisP 7y agoI feel that the ally situation is entirely different - they are USA allies solely for protection against China, and in any real conflict against China the interests of China would be mostly limited to ensuring a regional win against those countries, and the USA would have the choice of either taking real action against China by supporting these allies or not take action and abandon them.
