That's not as simple as Fox News makes it seem. Russia and the US know all the costs of war and are grown up enough to keep it a proxy not a direct conflict. Russia's military is 50 years behind ours . It's been proven in Iraq twice and Afghanistan . The military objective was met in two weeks in all wars. We smashed their [Bleeeeep!] and made impossible to mobilize any force post haste. The political war did not allow a quick conclusion and extended asymmetrical gorilla war ensued. If we went in no holds barred fuk the other guy . China is 100 years behind us . All the winger bs that chinas rising militarily is propaganda. Their planes are from the 50's they have one aircraft carrier that had to be towed by tugs. They have no real long range missile capability. They cannot mobilize anywhere in the world . They have no capability. Now China is dangerous because they have a huge nationalist wave sweeping the country combined with an army with zero expierience at war. The guy who has never been punched is most likely to pick a fight because he wants to prove he can take a punch. However we could stop any Chinese attempt in a matter of days with our technological advantage. Lastly the remotely operated war is the war of the future and we will win it because we own the only technology that is capable. We can reduce the size and presance of or forces as we deploy more sophisticated systems.
I don't see anyone touching US soil in our life time. The powers that be want you to think it can happen as a form of enslavement . Don't buy into it . If we have not learned to be more pragmatic from 2001 to now then shame on us.
