But a lot of time the rat scares the elephant more than the elephant scare the rat 

Thats why US lost in Vietnam and left a mess in Iraq and Afghanistan.

There is a big difference between fighting poorly equipped Talibans/Insurgents and a full fledge army. Even the poorly equipped Talibans and Insurgents managed to scare and hurt US badly.

Americans and Americans supporters love to say they have better experience than everyone, but they forgot that China is not Taliban. It will be a lot of difference between fighting an enemy that can't shoot back and an enemy who can really shoot back.

They don't really need it.

Existing stocks of missiles and bombs enough to bomb China three times over.

Sometimes i also suspect whether US military really that advanced. Even sanctioned Russia also able to make hypersonics. Is it all propaganda and only effective against terrorist and low tech country?

HALO is cancelled?!!! wadepak sony.

confirm there's a sohai like this trying to justified for the US lack of innovation.

Its more akin to humans vs rats / cockroaches

Humans got all the anti  rats pest technology spray bait poison but still cant get rid of the cockroaches / rat infestation

Einstein...the last time PLA in action is Sino-Vietnam war that only lasted 3 weeks. So you are telling me they know how to do battle without practical experience. Ukraine war tell us you don't need the latest and greatest armory but adapting to enemy's weakness. It's the guerilla warfare and exploiting what little they have. Russia's Three Days invasion of Ukraine still ongoing. The era of shock and awe invasion has long gone because globalization of military industry complex. Turkey and South Korea becoming alternative supply to US. While CCP goods have never been tested in actual war. Before Ukraine war, countries buys Russian arms because they are tested on actual war and cheap.

In the history of warfare, guerilla warfare always wins against bigger army. From WW1 to Afghanistan. It's fact spirited fighters with a cause has more conviction that an army just following order. Vietcong using rat tunnels, Taliban using IEDs, Ukrainian using commercial drones,etc....

Only a true sohai will ignore decades of US innovation in refining killing into an art, and justify a narrow perception with a single act.

this is not a justification but a recognition of existing murican might.

A might that has never really been tested but touted as the best in Hollywood and a lot of people believe it

The reality is the so called might has stumbled badly even fighting poorly equiped Vietcong, Taliban and Insurgents

Of course the easy way out is just say everyone fails when fighting guerilla warfare

60+ fighter squadrons and a whole load of bomber squadrons.
11 aircraft carriers.

That's not a capability tasked for anti-terrorism.

Some people can pretend US is a paper tiger. I don't agree that's the reality.

What country has defeated guerilla warfare?

Expensive white elephants if they can’t get them into the fight because of aa/ad. Somehow usa hasn’t publicly come up with a solution to aa/ad.

11 Carrier...8 are Nimitz Class...going retired in this 2025 - 2026
US left only 3 Carrier
