General China posted:America hasn’t won a proper war for over 60 years. And then the Russians really won it for them. It's crushed plenty of conventional armies so fast that you didn't even register it as a war.

Mogadishu was a good one. The yanks got their arse handed to them there. You still haven’t won in Iraq or Afghanistan. Even Cuba. That was a massive loving embarrassment for you all. I doubt, given the amazing history of US feats of arms you could defend your own country. You ain’t all that fighting wars on your own. Vietnam owned you. Cuba told you to gently caress off and laughed at you. Iraq and Afghanistan aren’t exactly US friendly. Well done, the US militarily General China fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Feb 23, 2018 |

No joke though I sincerely feel bad for the English working class, who are now turbofucked after multiple waves of deindustrialization has left them with nothing beyond demeaning service jobs pleasuring a handful of rich bankers and corrupt foreigners with money

General China posted:The English managed to invade the continent of North America and establish enough cultural hegonomy to ensure that you can understand the the printed word of the invader. One of the funniest stories from the 1812 burning of Washington: quote:The day after the destruction of the White House, Rear Admiral Cockburn entered the building of the D.C. newspaper, the National Intelligencer, intending to burn it down. However, several women persuaded him not to because they were afraid the fire would spread to their neighboring houses. Cockburn wanted to destroy the newspaper because its reporters had written so negatively about him, branding him "The Ruffian." Instead, he ordered his troops to tear the building down brick by brick, and ordered all the "C" type destroyed "so that the rascals can have no further means of abusing my name."

It’s still called the White House because the English burned it. It’s not like 10 Downing Street got that name because America invaded our country and nearly burnt our capital city to the ground.

You would definitely want tanks if you were invading the US; but unless the US lets you set-up your tank battalions plus refueling and supply depots in Mexico before your invasion, you definitely will not have tanks.

Tricky D posted:You would definitely want tanks if you were invading the US; but unless the US lets you set-up your tank battalions plus refueling and supply depots in Mexico before your invasion, you definitely will not have tanks. Tanks are almost a joke now. Infantry carriers one day will be a joke, but are where it's at for the second. Actual armored tank on tank combat is kind of like dinosaur fighting today, you only see it in ex-soviet countries that don't have better. Air superiority and missile superiority is all you ever need, and literally no traditional ground army can stand up to it. i.e. if you suddenly took the joke scenario from Red Alert 2 where Russia invades the US through an alliance with Mexico and shows up with EVERY TANK THEY HAVE, I don't even know if the US would bring more than a couple tanks around to deal with them or if they'd get there before being utterly obliterated wholesale by air strikes. From what I understand the only real place for armor on a modern battlefield is to put boots on the ground to enforce your will on the smoking aftermath. Most tanks in the middle east are basically just fancy anti-infantry support vehicles at this point. Like, the only reason we have them at all is they still can't be beat for facing off against dudes with rifles. Basically outside of countries 60 years behind our technology level we'll never see true tank on tank combat that's not a lopsided joke ever again in human history.
