Today's China isn't the China of the past. Neither is today's Uncle Sam.

Couldn't do it back then and they certainly can't now.

Guys, please just ignore that illiterate high school dropout.

And i hope there are more people like him in US.

Forget China or Russia (or any decent-sized country), forget any country with nuclear weapons, they are currently getting embarrassed by a bunch of Talibans with AK-47's.

War costs a lot of money, it seems the Nato can't even finish off the war they just stirred up in Libya.

1-its a aerial bombing not a invasion.

2-the main forces of the Taliban and Iraq were defeated swiftly.

3-Its so far from there own country.

4-How many countries in the world have on going insurgency/terrorist/radicals which havent been defeated in decades.

It took Sri lanka 30 years to defeat the Tamil Tigers.

If you say America is getting embarrased by a bunch of Ak-47s then the same thing applies to Pakistan/Phillipines/India/Israel/Iran/Yemen/dozen african countries.

Even China in Xinjiang

Even China in Xinjiang

There is no armed insurgency in Xinjiang.

America already had a head-on war with China during the 1950's, in the Korean war. The USA plus 16 of her allies were pushed out of North Korea.

That was at one of the weakest points in our history, immediately after the devastation of WW2 and the Chinese Civil War. Then let us not forget the Vietnam war as well. There was an enormous imbalance in power between the USA and Vietnam, yet America was still defeated.

America has the most powerful army in the world, no doubt about that. However, the defender has an enormous advantage, as we have seen time and time again.

And regardless, America has never fought directly against any nuclear weapons power. Look at what happened in the 2008 Georgian war, to see how they react when faced with another nuclear power (Russia in this case). Even North Korea, with their one or two tiny fission devices, managed to lethally attack American allies several times and get away with it.

Problem is they are domestic issues for them, not in USA's case though. It is costing them more than anyone else. America has to fight and deal with it abroad and on foreign lands.

NATO countries are in pretty bad shape economically and by igniting more bottomless conflicts they are simply creating more money sinks. Looks like they haven't learnt from the former Soviet Union.

Thats the whole point of nuclear weapons to act as a deterrent.

Exactly countries fail to win these battles on there own land and its apprently an embarrasement when US is fighting against Ak-47s half a world across?

And they are still losing enormous amounts of money.

Considering their already unbelievable amount of debt ($14 trillion), and their enormous trade deficit, it seems like a losing proposition for them to continue.

Absolutely.

No one else in the world is claiming to be a "superpower". Only America.

The world watched, over the past ten years, as they stuck themselves in one quagmire after another, being held back by fighters armed with AK-47's.

If the "sole superpower" can't even do this, don't you think it is premature to boast about "stomping" nuclear giants like China and Russia?

Simply put it, China cannot be invaded.

Yes America has top of the range military technology they even outnumber us with their planes and ships.
However, people often don't think about that majority of them are parked in the US (split between the west and the east),how many can they summon up at any given time in a real war situation? How quickly can their backups arrive? how are they going to get all of their equipments and men across to the asian peninsula? They are only a handful of major obstacles for them (not to mention the impact it would have on their already declining economy). So yes, as a growing military, economical power and defender, China has all the advantages over the potential invader.
Having everything there for them (nukes, men, resources, equpments) and having strong nuclear armed neighbouring countries who (despite they minor differences) would come to watch eachother's back are good enough deterrence.

Does this mean that a firmer stance will be taken in the South China Sea?

The point is, domestic issues cannot be compared to issues a country such as America created abroad. No one pointed a gun to their head and tell them to go to Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya etc. They did it on its own accord.
