Going by your boxer reference, which position do you think China should placed?

China fought a war I.e. Korea, which saw the advent of more modern weapons. How about the border war with Vietnam?

Print out this report and take it where sun never shines.....

Do you think Iran is better than Pakistan with 250+ nuclear warheads, latest tanks and jets?

Egypt better than Israel. ... Fucking retards wrote these reports

France got run over by Germany in 6 weeks. China resistance against Japan lasted 8 years. In Korea, China forced American troops to their longest retreat in history, thus saving N. Korea. In ancient times, China defeated the Greeks in Uzbekistan, drove out the ancestors of Mongols and Huns to the west (Europeans couldn't handle them) And you should very well know we kicked you Turks out of your homeland in Mongolia.


Why make your look stupid? Totally unnecessary.

Nobody mess around with PLA...

Not only that, we kicked Indian butt during 1962 war, there are plenty of video evidence of raw video war footage about PLA victory plus POW of Indian soldiers and large number of their equipments captured.

it only count static numbers. Israel with F-35 can defeat most of the countries above it. Pakistan with missiles can do it too.
Man, training, strtaegy also matters along with quality of weapons.

Italy have five air craft carriers?

France and GB should be ranked above China.

China never won a war against major power in its whole history. It was always saved by other power(s).

They always lose, be it Mongols, Russians, British, Soviets, Japanese...the list is long.
They are probably worst fighting nation in history along South American nations. Just to add that Chinese are miserably weak in physical way. There is no world boxing, MMA, strongman, armlift champions from China.
Germanic, Slavic and Turkic people are best.

this idiot think china never won boxing or other champions, glad the other guy schooled him on that. China never won a major war? yet China is a continental sized country, did other country just gave territory to china or something? Check how China pushed US all the way from Chinese border down to 38th parallel during Korean war, and with much inferior weapons at the time. Also check how China conquered and took Xinjiang territory, a Turkic people region, and how china conquered and took Tibet as well as how China conquered and took half of Mongolia which is called Inner Mongolia in China now. All those regions were major powers at the time but got defeated and now part of china. Idiot.

Everyone misses the role of Military intelligence. The US is probably the best at making its enemies kill each other.
Israel, France and Britain also do this reasonably well.

 

[LeGenD]

How come you didn't mention Iraq?

US defeated Iraq in a war in 1991 which was fought to liberate Kuwait, and executed 'regime change' in Iraq in another war (2003 - 2011). As such Saddam regime perished and Iraq have a democratic government that is no longer a threat to American interests in the region. How does this history constitute defeat for US? Looks like some people need to understand the difference between 'victory' and 'defeat' first.
