People were suspecting WWIII was around the corner when 9/11 happened, or the last Israel-Lebanon conflict. Even if the all the necessary components for a world war were to happen tomorrow, it would still take a few years before it can actually be called a world war.

Goddamnit I'm still waiting for the "Big One" here in Los Angeles. They've been talking about the "Big One" for decades, and still nothing. They keep saying in the news that a big earthquake will hit us very soon and that we should be prepared, but they've all been weak ass earthquakes so far. Where the fuck is this big earthquake?

N. and S. Korea have skirmishes all the time. One mistakes the other for crossing the border just a bit (which if they did gives right to open fire on the poor blokes), and thus twitches their trigger fingers.

is North Korea member of the United Nations?

>>1968278
They have an UN representative of their own... And that's all I know.

please, if we went to total, old fashioned war, china doesn't stand a chance.

The U.S. is still pretty good when it comes to all-out war against another military.

>>1968285
Explain Afghanistan and Vietnam.

>>1968287
Killed a shitload of people, just failed to install a stable puppet government

>>1968285

You're deluded.

are you high on drugs or just retarded

>>1968285

good luck moving thousands of troops anywhere near chnia without them getting their asses blasted off.

>>1968291
I guess you got a point, it seems that the US can do well against one military but not multiple militaries, they couldn't even go against militias FFS.

>>1968298
wow. it's either you're trolling or you're just thick.

>>1968297

By that rationale, good luck moving troops out of China to anywhere without watching the sea convoy take heavy losses.

America couldnt defeat guys hiding in caves with 60s rifles (Afghanistan)

They also couldnt beat Lil asians hiding in holes (vietnam)

What the HELL makes you think they could defeat the Red army, on home ground, with modern chinese technology. ?

>>1968305

Man, axes really suck at digging through the ground! I bet they aren't good at a lot of other things like chopping through things too!

>good luck moving thousands of troops anywhere near chnia without them getting their asses blasted off.

That's fine, we can just attack India instead

>>1968305
America achieved what it had more or less set out to in Vietnam. It held back the north Vietnamese forces so that South Vietnam could get its shit together. Even after the increase of anti-north sentiment after the Tet offensive, the government was so corrupt that it couldn't form a stable system that could defend itself. Those in charge of the campaign had seen this problem coming and asked for more troops, not to fight more, but to secure South Vietnam's government and help eliminate corruption. Unfortunately, hippies insisted the war was wrong and we could not get those troops over there. So when we left, Vietnam immediately fell.

tl;dr hippies are assholes and the Vietnamese should demand their heads

>>1968314

Thats opening another fucking huge can of worms. India are coming into their own, plus they have nuclear capability.

>>1968322

>> blaming hippies for vietnam

>> twisting the truth so much it hurts: free
>> being a poor troll: priceless

>>1968322
>implying any of that bullshit is worth a damn, and even if it did,
>implying america can even take credit for mere timing and coincidencing

>>1968305

The American navy will blockade the sea lanes that supply Chinese oil. That can happen within hours as well. And that reality isn't going to change for at least another 15 years.
China to surrender within days, after numerous bombing and shelling of strategic coastal cities and military installations.

At the same time, separatists in Tibet and Xinjiang will take advantage of the situation and create an insurrection.

China loses....

>>1968339
that post is biased. it's like china is just sitting there doing nothing.
you know the word 'attack', don't you?

>>1968339

Fucking lol. You're deluded as shit.

China have a fucking stranglehold on the US if they really want.

Theyre economically superior, their military is better, and technology is racing up.

The US is no longer the one major super power.

>>1968342
Yes I do. And Chinese military power projection capabilities are outright shithouse now. That is an undeniable fact. It could maybe send missile strikes and 'maybe' a force to Taiwan. Nothing much else other than that though.
That won't change for another 15-25 years until after they build their navy up.

Think of this way; The US right now has the capability to project significant military power in South Korea, Japan, Germany and fight two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
China could never dream of doing that. It's capabilities right now only lie in defence.

>>1968346
troll harder fuckhead, cause you're doing a shit job right now...
or your're really just are just retarded
pic kinda related too...

>>1968353
it seems i have retarded grammar as well

>>1968269

This actually isn't that big of a deal. North Korea has been firing at South Korea without provocation at random intervals for the past fifty years. There have been moments far more intense than this. Namely the axe murder incident.

>>1968297
Getting blasted by China's 3rd class navy??

>>1968367
The Ruskies are missing in your power equation.

are you guys aware that 90% of the Gold in the US banking system is owned by China?

All they have to is withdraw it and America economy would crash. True story.

>>1968401
This is another myth. Chinese owns a lot of US Bonds, but then in a war the US could just just not to honor them.

>>1968401
yeah but the chinese economiy is still predominately export driven.
You crash the American economy and then No one will want to, or be able to, buy those Chinese exports.
China loses too...

as it occures how little you all seem to know about military history and political and other covert influence i realize how unavailable you are as thinking contributor to any real understandings on these matters
there is more going on behind the scenes than in the foreground
i would post data i have had exposere to but its pointless; like arguing with a very small child over a brightly cloured bottle of poison

>>1968346

>their military is better

Their ARMY is better. And really, their army is simply larger. Call me back when they have the largest Navy and the largest Air Force.

Fun fact: The world's largest Air Force is the US Air Force. The world's second largest Air Force is the US Navy

China has no chance in a military conflict not with their neighbors.

Daily thread of 14 year olds from tiny irrelevant countries discussing geopolitical subjects and giving their expert military opinions as if they were fact?

FUCK YEAH!

BRASIL > AUSTRALIA

Full retard.

>mfw ITT everyone thinks the US's debt belongs to China and not it's own citizens
>GO foxnews, GO foxnews, GO

>>1968419
While I did know that fun fact and find it amazing, all it really does it show how much stronger the US's 20th century military is. The 21st century "Air Force" is basically all based on satellite communication and gps tracking of long range missiles and unmanned aircraft.

Sure the US air supremacy is unrivaled and not useless, but technology has pushed this part of the military into an almost mystical Terminator like scenario. A world with kamikazee drone aircrafts carrying million dollar bombs being flown by an ITT guy in Las Vegas, Nevada to a destination on the other side of the world.

>>1968322
IMO, both hippies and viets are just food waste. Kill both.

picture unrelated.

US wouldn't have a good chance going up against China because of the state of our economy, China's coastal defences and anti-air networks. AIP subs are superior than nuke subs in the littoral. China's doctrine is designed to target our Command/Control/Communications networks via anti-satellite missiles.

china's 1st move: shoot down all the world's GPS and communication satelites.

america's 1st move: why the fuck isn't this thing working?

>>1968380
They'd do shit, because Russians are fucking assholes.

Will smoke all my weed, read my favorite books, drink black tea. Then I'll get up go outside and hug people while not speaking a word, then I'll meditate cross legged at a intersection with a sign saying:Free advice, and ears to listen.

No reason to panic ever, nobody ever truly dies.

>>1968741
lol'd

but China can't win... yet

it can just be extremely annoying to our fat, spoiled western asses

>>1968771
just as planned
