Is the US Ready for War with China?

[KAL-EL]

the US will not go to war against China anytime soon.

Just as China will not go to war with the US anytime soon.

These articles are so full of cht and never get into the details of thee most important part of modern warfare and that is combine arms/joint-command of their whole military. PLA severely lacks this just like the Russian military and it showed in Ukraine.

You can have all these cool toys in your military but if you don't know how to properly use them against a world class military superpower that will dominate the EM spectrum and battlespace picture they are nothing but easy targets.

China will keep pumping up its military toys regardless the US is ready or not.

A war would lead to mutual annihilation with millions of deaths. for what?
At best there would be some minor shootings and be something like the US vs USSR confrontation during the Cold War. Until one country is bankrupt.

Looks like Chinese build all those fancy military new toys just for fun becus they haven't learned how to properly use them, lol.

Well of course I know that, you know that, but some of these freaks actually think they can win a nuclear war with another nuclear power.

You see my friend, we live in the real world, unlike the fantasy world some hyper nationalists live in.

Because of hybrid warfare as China is now enjoying as a new hub for the foreign capital.

A punishment war toward Japan might disrupt this trend.

China is now focusing to overwhelmingly cement the win of the high tech ai race.

The only risk is miscalculation of both sides about Taiwan, I don’t think any risk associated to Japan or Korea.

If there are something we learned from Ukraine and Iran wars, it's old legacy war strategy and mentality are no longer appliable to today's modern warfare, they are more of a liability than an asset in future wars.

All I can say is that you are only seeing a fraction of US military power in use.

What have we seen of China’s experience in military operations? None. All we see is the potential, not the actual use, of China’s military. Let's see how their weapons work in an actual war.

Remember, China is supposed to invade and capture Taiwan, but its military is green. And it doesn't help matters that Xi is busy purging his military.

China do have second hand knowledge of their weapon systems and effectiveness, they did pretty well against some top of the line 4th gen fighters in a recent conflict (i am sure you would not want me to elaborate on that)

If we just look at recent history we see Afghanistan retreat, Somalia incident, Failed hostage rescue in Iran are just few of the text book examples of why having all the might in the world does not necessarily means you win

IMO China is sitting idle and watching the dominos fall, why waste energy, let the class bully jump around and exhaust first

Did the US and Soviets ever go to war ? No, but they engaged in countless proxy battles as well as competition in tech, business, media, sports etc. Same will be how US-China goes, with the Chinese increasingly having the upper hand, unlike US-Soviet where the US increasingly had the upper hand.

Yes, you did. And, I saw one this afternoon. Stopped by the local toy store.

From reviews online, it seems like a good start up weapon for practice and just shooting. I am considering it but right now i don't need it, i need to go to range couple of more times and see if i need to spend 500-600$ on something which i will barely use.

The problem in Ukraine is the Russians are too entrenched (no pun intended) in tactics used since WWI.
