American cops would mow down an entire city before they’d let us put one hand on a VIP.

If Americans did this they'd be shooting back and American law enforcement isn't actually that good at Urban warfare. Like waco and north Hollywood are good examples of how they do in gunfights when they don't have a controlled environment.

Like the hillary clinton of China... destined to win it all but due to hubris and malice lost everything

even more satisfyingly, lost it all to some wannabe poet from bumfuck nowhere whose own party didn't support him until he just. kept. winning.

White people produce movies for white people that seem weird to non-whites. I'm not sure why this is super controversial, presumably these producers are in it to turn a profit so it's not like they personally are racists or something.

Taiwan also has its own surface to surface missile force so it's not like china can just blockade it with zero domestic consequences.

Do you think America would allow china to beat it in a war without resorting to nukes

Stairmaster

South Korea was still preserved at the end of things so america was able to rationalize things away.

my favorite part about the mcarthur thing is omar bradley coming in to tell congress how mcarthur was full of poo poo and how badly hosed they'd be if they nuked china and if the ussr opened a second theater in europe in response, due to the post wwii drawdown. There was a crazy figure like 3/5ths of the air forces tactical fleet was already committed to the korean theatre.

how well does an aircraft carrier stand up to hundreds of simultaneous supersonic surface to sea missiles? are the Phalanx cannons gonna shoot them all down? it's just a loving joke, and that's why there's only one american aircraft carrier in the gulf right now. they know it's a paper tiger.

if the us wasn't in full on imperial decadent decline: focus on longer range aircraft so the carrier is not in the ideal engagement zone for those missiles.

Nah that possibility was gone decadea. China launched its first SSBN in the 80s, and its first good SSBN in 2007.

Depends how good their c&c is. A depressed elevation launch from US subs would give them like maybe ten minutes of warning time.


Ardennes posted:


The Russians wouldn't miss the opportunity to hit us with a second strike.

That's the wild card that nobody knows how it'd play out in that scenario. More likely russia would launch on warning than wait to see how things unfold.
