The U.S. Empire is 'Fraying' and 'Collapsing': Pentagon Study

[maximuswarrior]

This is an Ideal time to be a US ally and friend

No wonder India US ties are booming

LOL very ideal under Trump.

Oh if only I had a dollar for everytime one of those "dollar is dying or dead" threads were made.

You would still have no real money!

You are "Think Tank Analyst"?

China is set to eclipse the US as the world's most powerful country by around 2030.

A laughable statement. China can't even control its own backyard, while the US has sustainable power projection capabilities across the planet. China is in long term steady decline as its economy and demographics degrade over time. Meanwhile, US demographics are much more favorable, and US military modernization has just begun.

China doesn't have the necessary alliance network or soft power either to attain full spectrum dominance as the US has. China will be a great power competitor to the US for years to come, but won't supplant the US.

China's future navy doesn't need to show up with 12 aircraft carrier battlegroups, but China will re-invented a new naval warfare mode with the half-submerged battleship that equipped with direct energy weapons. A new powerful railgun with the range over 1000 km that is sufficient to decimate an entire AC battlegroup, and a real laser weapon that can incinerate a group of incoming ICBMs, not the fake one that can barely burn off a small drone.

China got the DC electrical system, it is the key that paves the path toward the futuristic energy weapons, while the AC electrical system is completely a failure and a nowayout dead end.

This is the same guy that estimated China's GDP would rise above 8% again a couple years ago folks. His predictions are about as reliable as China's quarterly estimates.

Funny you should say that, since there was a thread on PDF arguing that dollars would be suitable as toilet paper.

I never made such claim.

China has many ways to boast up the GDP figure, since we never count our small-medium enterprises into our official GDP figure.

You absolutely did, and I wish I would have bookmarked it.

You make wild predictions about Chinese DE weapons, in which I have seen little evidence. Meanwhile, the US has an active deployed laser weapon, are rapidly increasing it's laser weapons output, and have just completed a multi-shot salvo from its railgun program. It's also set to deploy hypervelocity projectiles on US Army howitzers and Navy guns within the next 5-10 years.

You talk to much, just like your current CCP leadership.

I didn't make such claim, but just quoted from our genius scientist.

China controls the DC, while the US controls the AC. Now China's DC has helped China to install the four panels AESA radar on the Type 052D, while the dual band AESA radar on the Type 055. This is something that the US planned to install on both DDG-1000 and Flight III, but can never achieve it in the real life.

The US railgun doesn't look like a pure one, the fire smoke on the tail looks like a mixture of the explosive dynamite and the electromagnetic projectile.

Look here guys, we've got an electromagnetic/directed energy expert. "The US railgun doesn't look like a pure one." Clearly, he's more intelligent than the scientists and engineers that work for the US Office of Naval Research.

Your a clown pal, and I'm wasting my time conversing with you.

The Kuznetsov NK-12 are still the most powerful turboprop engine ever built. So what if B52 is faster? Both are cruise missile launch platforms, so what matters are their missiles.

In theory US carrier groups can direct F/A-18s to intercept or US satellites can direct drones to shoot down Russian Tu-95 and Tu-160s

LOL very ideal under Trump.

Look at what Trump gave India already

- Designates Syed Salahuddin as terrorist

- Approves Drone tech to India

- Stopped $50 Million defence aid to Pakistan


State Department Terrorist Designations of Mohammad Yusuf Shah AKA Syed Salahuddin

https://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2017/06/272168.htm

To terminate the designation of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan as a major non-NATO ally, and for other purposes.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/3000/text

The Pentagon is withholding $50 million in funding for Pakistan after Defense Secretary James Mattis told Congress he will not certify that the country has done enough to fight the Haqqani Network.

“The funds could not be released to the government of Pakistan at this time because the secretary could not certify that Pakistan has taken sufficient action against the Haqqani Network per the requirement in the FY 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)," Pentagon spokesman Adam Stump said in a statement Friday.

With the railgun like this and a laser weapon can barely fry a mini drone, this cannot really impress China.

Look how China has accomplished the land test of the EMALS in just one year.

China's AAG looks so much better than its American counterpart.

I always wondered what happened to ac/dc. Looks like ac remained in the US and Dc when to China. @ChineseTiger1986 - can you share any additional info in how China proposes make the DC current a world beater?

The US/UK are focusing on the alternating current integrated electrical systems, while China is focusing on the direct current integrated electrical systems. These two integrated electrical systems are completely opposite on theory.

The notable ships with the ACIES are CVN-78/DDG-1000/LCS/QE class/Type 45, while the ones with the DCIES are Type 052D/055 and the future Type 002/003.
