U.S. military might "struggle to win, or perhaps lose" war with China or Russia, report says

[Nan Yang]

I think u are forgetting the USAF and that US army doesnt operate alone they utilise air force to the max capacity. aircrafts in china and russian air force cant match up to the ones in USAF. You may have J20, but it is still no operational and is getting developed. And its only 3. US has about 200 F22, number of F35 and lets not even count F15, 16 and 18.
Not a US fanboy but its the truth that they are insanely powerful to the point of it being unfair to any combination of their adversary.

But US F-22 are based in Guam. It needs to be refuel 3 times to get to Taiwan. Yes that is 3 times. 3 times getting there and 3 times getting back. Even if you throw in all the 180 or so F-22 you only have 4 to 6 at any one time around Taiwan. On the other hand China have over 40 airbases within reach of Taiwan. This is also a fact.

Assuming of course nothing happens to the aerial tankers.

China has strength in number, if the war were fought near China, those US jets are just sitting duck for our overwhelming missiles.

So yes, we were there to kill people and kill people only, and if that is not for fun, then I don't know what is.

One thing puzzles me, You bear a Chinese flag, but why you keep referring US as "we" and China as "you'?

Of course something will happen.

The J-16 carries two VLRAAM for a test firing.

We as in "SOLDIERS" not American.

US F-22 can be based in Pusan and Mikawa or even Okinawa when forward deployed. But at this moment, it is either based in Hickham or Langley AFB

Also, Anderson AFB handle B-52, not F-22.

How come you bear the Chinese flag but never refer China as "we"? Where are you really from by the way?

I never identify anything.

I have a Chinese HK passport, US passport, Australian Passport, UK Passport and Swedish passport, if I use "I" in any of the country I mentioned about, I will never get a conversation done.

I use "we" when I talk about Chinese, you just either did not find it or don't want to find it.

Absent renewed investment in and a strategic realignment of its own capabilities, the U.S. military could lose the next state-versus-state war it fights,

This article is about what most such are about, making a pitch for more money for the military.

The Indians routinely write such as well pointing to the terrible state of one thing or the other to get the military budget increased.

So you don't have a Chinese passport yet you use a Chinese flag, and you said you served in the army, I guess it is not PLA , is it?

What about your loyalty? Which country will you fight for if a war breaks out between them. For me my loyalty is always with China, that's why I have two Chinese flags representing me.

I have a house in China, I have a factory in China, I have hukou in China, I can apply for a Chinese Passport if I give up all my other Passport, so I choose not to get it, not that I cannot get it.

I served in the US Military.

My loyalty? I have no absolute loyalty to anyone, I will fight when I think whichever side is just. I don't care if that is the US, the Brits, the Chinese, the Aussie or the Swede. If Sweden attack China for whatever reason, as long as I think its just, I will fight for China, but if China attack Japan for no good reason, I will not fight for China.

I don't really care what do you think about "Loyalty and War" as I said, if you are too patriotic, you DO NOT belong in the military.

I never hide my IP address, so you are welcome to register a complaint with the authorities as soon as you like. Make sure you record it and show it here.

As is usual per human history, ownership is determined by power. China is building islands all over the South China Sea and nobody dares to lift a finger to stop it, therefore China now has ownership of those areas. Just like Russia has ownership of Crimea.

The Native Americans learned to stop complaining a long time ago, the land no longer belongs to them. The difference is that China is not killing people in the South China Sea, while America uses bullets/missiles/airstrikes, China uses water hoses. Which means the people on the other end get to go back home and see their children again.

What makes You think that the Chinese Authorities have not recorded your comment?
Personally, I see no reason to report someone for telling the truth about China stealing land.

So you are scared of calling them up and giving them my name on this forum? Let's hear that voice.

United states never fights directly with powerful adversaries they wait and engange in the indirect warfare cold war then when and if the adversary is weak they strike or just keep at it.

They will never fight a fare fight.

That's illegal, China doesn't accept dual citizenship. You can't be a Chinese citizen also as a citizen of another country.
