To not derail this thread, I'd suggest this one and this post

Summary: LOTS of 180s and people are trying to stop being hypocrites by doing what I said in the language you quoted.

How does air superiority stop aerial drones? Hmmm... let me think.


The ones used currently in Ukraine.
You know the ones. Small, handheld, in-the-field remote controlled, detonate on contact. Yeah those. What type of air defense does anyone have against those?
Please inform.

Its when you try to preserve the civilian pop is when things go bad.


If it ever got to that point I dont think China would just sit back and let us bomb their population centers (even with conventional bombs) without deploying their nukes.

Does not work on hand held, carried and operated in the field drones. Not even close. Drone is much too small. Drone flies much too low. Drone is anti-personnel, not anti-ship.

So many things. I could keep typing.

I’m starting to think the U.S. military could actually whip China’s arse badly if they weren’t handcuffed as usual.


Taking nukes off the tabel:

On a neutral battlefield with all of our resources and supply lines? Absolutely.

If China tried invading us? Absolutely.

If we try to invade China? China has such a ginormous military (~2M active military, another 500k in reserves and something like 13M who could be mobilized within 6-12 months) that trying to make landfall would make Normandy look like a pillow fight as they could just "zerg" an invading force into exhaustion. I'm not saying we could not eventually win, but that the cost in manpower and resources could be so high that it would be more a pyrrhic victory than anything else.
