I don't think many people in America realize how absolutely overpowered the United States really is, this was basically inevitable after the Suez crisis
That blue water navy is really paying dividends
- Dalewyn 3y agoAs a Japanese-American, we are well aware how utterly absurd we are: * An absurdly absurd twenty aircraft carriers between (as of writing): 10 Nimitz-class carriers, 1 Ford-class carrier, 7 Wasp-class amphibious assault ships, and 2 America-class amphibious assault ships. Any one of the Strike Groups led by them can rival the military of an entire country and we field twenty of them, one for each carrier. * The Coast Guard is geared to sail and operate right alongside the Navy, including blue waters. We effectively have two navies. * Unparalleled air superiority between our F-15s and F-22s, complemented by F-16s, F/A-18E/Fs, and F-35s. * Positively stupid air-to-ground firepower between the B-52, B-1, B-2, AC-135, A-10, and AH-64, along with the F-16, F/A-18E/F, and F-35. * Ridiculous support fleet of tankers, AWACS, and more. * The world's best tank, also known as the M-1 Abrams. * Each US state has its own National Guard to complement and support the Army and Air Force. * Special relationships with the United Kingdom and Japan, both militarily and overall. * But wait! There's more!(tm) Trust me, we know how 'Murica we are.
