How to Prevent a War in Asia The Erosion of American Deterrence Raises the Risk of Chinese Miscalculation

[thewayoftheworld]

COVID-19 demonstrated that China can marshaled industrial capacity serve the need of the day. With 1.4 billion people and growth educated middle class, not to mentioned millions of focused worker. Sure American can pre-empt an attacked on China, the questions is how are they going stop the ons slaught of missiles on all the American asset in the Pacific.

China is not iraq USA armed forces are at their lowest after loosing war against infantry taliban force against fully geared nato force forget defeating china

When China attacked then US ally South Vietnam in south China sea in 1974 and took over all Paracel Islands, do you know what US did? Their seventh fleet was just nearby.

Did they abandon half of Vietnam as you did in Korea? We were thousands of miles away from home and not fighting over the islands.

We never took over the whole Korea, we started on the Chinese border, it's US abandoned half of Korea after capturing it as a whole.

 

[IceCold]

Yes, they will contest and die in the process.

lol! I hope for your sake US military planners are not as naive as you appear to be.

 

[The Accountant]

Not sure whose ranting. Of course, none of us are privy to Pentagon war plans, but the US has the capability to carry out those attacks. It has the platforms and ordnance to conduct overwhelming fires on Chinese warships.

Agreed but dont u think it both ways? China is not afghanistan or iraq. It has fire power enough to attack u significantly not only in south china sea but all around the globe including your mainland

Why would they attack our mainland when this about the S china sea. In a war, escalation is carefully calculated. If they don't want the US and NATO hitting the Chinese mainland, they will stay away from our mainland. No islands in S China is worth risking mainland attacks.

@F-22Raptor 22 @KAL-EL

lolz, ok so by this logic, why would USA will attack China (a nuclear power) having world second biggest military spending and thousands of military aircrafts 100s of warship and submarines and thousands of missiles capable of hitting all USA bases CBG including mainland USA for a tiny island called Taiwan?

Why would USA will risk engaging such a powerful adversary for the benefits of Taiwan and other smaller countries?

Well, recently a USAF Gen. stated he could deploy 20-25 B-1s, 35-40 B-52s, and 18-20 B-2s bombers in the opening 24 hours of war. Or 75-85 total.

12x B-1s and 12x B-52s alone would be capable of launching 528 antiship missiles in multiaxial strikes.

10 B-2s would be capable of launching 800 highly accurate Small Diameter Bombs on Chinese warships and transports.

So yes, the US is fully capable of decapitating the PLAN at the outset.

Some news are spilled in media to give confidence to scapegoats (India) and other allies in the region (Japan and SK).

Since 2000's, which country has US attacked all alone ? If USA wouldn't attack militarily weak countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya etc without its allies, then its naïve to think that USA will send its bomber force to attack a militarily strong China. Lets first wait and see what NATO says.

China's giant DF-41 missiles can reach USA in 30 minutes

 

[CT-9914 "Snoop"]

Haha... US now is like an insecure little girl, let's give them 720 hours and see what they can do.

is that what they tell you on the state controlled "news" over there?

US public are way more brainwashed than the Chinese, see how their media has been reporting China, no wonder that most Americans are shocked when they first visited China on how different China is from what they learned from their media while Chinese never get this shocking feeling when visiting US cause it is exactly the same as they learned back home.

Yes, China's world class high speed trains (30,000 kilometers railway lines) that travel at 350 kmph changes everybody's mind

 

[That Guy]

Nothing is going on. They're just talking about capability, not that they're actually gonna go through with it.

China probably also has plans ready to sink US warships as quickly as possible.

It's called strategic planning.

Big conventional battles can be over in a span of some days. In fact, a nuclear war can be over in a span of hours.

These battles are different from maintaining occupations through the years.

Gone are the days of long drawn out battles in conventional format of warfare unless the belligerents are lacking in sophisticated weapon systems and strategy.
