The U.S. could defeat China in virtually any military campaign but we're only talking about their army . Militarily , the U.S. is more powerful than their closest rival by a factor of three .
The reason for this has nothing to do with numbers of troops though . It's simply technological superiority and the money to afford it .
Imagine a Roman legion against a hundred guys with guns . The numbers mean nothing and the legion would be wiped out with barely any casualties on the other side .
The U.S. has drones , stealth , the ability to project anywhere around the world in massive force , and so on . It has the best equipped soldiers and is developing weapons now that are years ahead of anything anybody else has . As a general rule of thumb , if we know about it , they've been working on it for between ten and twenty years .
Anyway , this is only about militarily defeating another nation . In terms of guerrilla warfare , insurrection , or whatever , there can never be any victory in China without extremely harsh measures . In other words , if the people of China aren't on board with the U.S. taking over then there's no chance of a successful occupation . The people would practically have to invite a U.S. invasion for there to be any chance of success and let's face it , that's an invitation that will never come .
In any case , these are two countries that , if they ever duke it out , will do so via proxy . A head on clash would inevitably lead to nuclear launches and they both know that in that case they lose along with the rest of us .
I am probably a good person but I haven't taken the time to fill out my profile, so you'll never know! |
