US is scaling down its forces in the Middle East and building up its forces in the Pacific and by 2025, US will have new weapon systems that will negate all advantages that China has such as their Carrier Killer Missile.
Sir, on what basis can you make predictions about future American weapon systems with certainty when future remains uncertain? Is it unbiased, on your part, to proclaim unseen, unheard of American 'future weapons' as certainties without considering that Chinese economic, scientific, industrial and military-industrial growth is multiple times that of USA's?
By 2025, 60% of all US forces will be in the Pacific. And not only that, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore and others are all US allies and will join forces to fight China and with years of buying Arms from USA, all of them will very lethal foes to China.
South Korea=Cowering in fear of North Korea.
Australia=Kangaroo land=No military
Taiwan=Chinese. Both agree on it. They only differ on the form of government.
Singapore can not change balance of power anywhere on earth due to size constraints.
Japan=Lost cause because the people have lost will to remilitarize, they have accepted subservience to Americans. If they want to remilitarize, they must expel Americans. As it stands, Japan's population is declining, with no reversal in sight.
Any China vs USA war in 2025, will look like what happened to Iraq during the Gulf War, when all of the American Arab Allies joined forces to fight Saddam.
Sir, let's not try to make bombastic Indianesque claims about the future when future remains uncertain.
1. Saddam Hussein's Iraq was isolated by all Arab and Muslim countries as well, on all sides.
2. Saddam Hussein's Iraq never possessed nuclear bombs, ICBMs, nuclear submarines, or 80+ destroyers, frigates and major surface combatants as today's China. In 2025, these numbers are likely to rise further.
3. Saddam Hussein's Iraq was defeated by the use of not only sorties flying out from airbases in neighbouring countries, but also about half of American carrier battle groups in their inventory.
4. Saddam Hussein's Iraq had a population that was less than 1/12 of USA's, and less than 1/30 of all the other countries that fought against it. In China's case, China still outdoes USA+'potential allies' most of whom are cowering in fear of North Korea.
5. Saddam Hussein's Iraq could not design, and build any major weapons system for its ground, air or naval forces on its own. Chinese industry, on the other hand, has exceeded USA's by a huge margin in many instances. China's steel production, for example, during the last year was more than the next 10 countries' steel output combined, as an example.
6. USA could not stop SCUD ballistic missiles fired by Saddam Hussein's Iraq, which had comparatively little experience in developing, designing, and deploying indigenous ballistic and cruise missiles of various ranges and features, and comparatively little industrial basis to mass produce them.
7. China has sufficient thermonuclear weapons to eliminate all USA economic centres, as well as those of any 'allies' that commit itself to any American aggression against China. Saddam Hussein's Iraq had no such capability.
