I remember a similar war game from 2002 proved that the USA would job to Iran. And we still would. The cold fact is that the USA is not ready to fight a full-fledged war. We like shouting that we're 2-0 back-to-back World War champions when we came in at the last minute in World War I, reinvigorating the Entente just enough to obtain victory; we did fairly well in World War II, but the European theatre of the war was actually won by the Russians; we crushed North Korea but got crushed by China and just stayed there, dying like dumbasses until we decided to go home and tried to pretend it didn't happen. Then we spent the next 65 years bombing and losing to peasant farmers in new, exotic locations and declaring ourselves the strongest, most unbeatable military on Earth. We're so used to insurgents, suicide bombers, guerrilla tactics, and asymmetrical warfare that we would suffer a collective breakdown of our national psyche if we actually faced an actual military. Like Russia circa 1905. The only exception was Iraq, who we blitzed twice. You know, the same Iraq that spent eight years failing to invade and dying to an internally-disorganized, geopolitically-ignored Iran despite having the backing of both the USA and the USSR during the height of the Cold War.

Superiority? What superiority? Having actual jets compared to the GLA's postal service, never responsible for damaged goods? Last war we fought on even remotely equal ground with someone was either WWII or Korea. Like seriously, we are totally unprepared for an actual Great Power war with someone because we've gotten so used to kicking the asses of/getting our asses kicked by farmers with AK-47s Edit: Wait, just remembered the Persian Gulf War. Technically Iraq was a modernized military I guess. Yuli Ban has issued a correction as of 08:19 on Dec 12, 2021 |
