America Vs China

[Polixenes]

China.
Chinese soldiers know kung fu.
US soldiers sit around telling Chuck Norris jokes.

I believe we have the best Navy and Air Force. Our planes are much more High Tech. Can't get tanks and troops on our soil if your ships are sunk.

Everyone groans when they talk about a 400 million dollar plane. This is what makes it so expensive...

Imagine you are in one of our newest fighters. You get blips on your radar of enemy planes. Miles away your in a Chinese fighter. You don't have any blips yet...

The US fighter unleashes its missiles then turns around and heads back to get more missiles. The Chinese finally get a few blips on their screens and boy do they appear to be moving fast!

The avionics package in these planes and our Aegis Cruiser system is bar none hot stuff. Take out Chinese Satellites, sink their ships and they are toast.

America would win. The Iraqi and Afghani governments were defeated within days. The US is only struggling in the Middle East now because we were not trained or equipped for asymmetrical warfare. In actual military vs. military combat, which is what we saw at the beginning of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the US excels. Obviously China would be tougher to defeat than Iraq, but I still think the US would have an edge over the Chinese due to superior technology and training.

The whole question is pointless, however. The US and China are too economically dependent on each other to go to war.

This.

We live in a global economy, advanced countries experience warfare on the economic level, not the militaristic.
