I'd put money on China being able to pwn the USA with the click of a button. We know about salt typhoon, and there's been documented backdoors in IoT devices and some Unitree bots. Imagine all the things we don't know about. Especially regarding power generation and general aging infrastructure.
Buddy, I could tell you that based on the fact that they've lost every single war they've been in since WWII.
Tell that to Saddam and Gaddafi.
lol the downvote. Did those governments that no longer exist actually win the wars that caused them to cease existing?
No, but the resulting insurgency forced America out in retreat? Do you think America won't he Iraq war lmao?
Do you think Saddam won? The US won the war with Iraq if not the war with the insurgency.
I think nobody won, but the US especially didn't win.
1st Iraq was a clear win, both militarily and strategically. 2nd Iraq and Libya were strategic victories because the real purpose was to maintain the petrodollar, which was attained.
Actually the reason your government gave was to get the weapons of mass destruction from Saddam, which was proven to be a lie, so how did you win an illegal war based on fake goals?
You believe US when they state the war reasons and goals? Lol, lmao even. They achieved a real war goal of stopping Iraq and Libya from breaking dollar monopoly on oil sale.
Also it's not my government, my government was actually quite honest, they admitted they went there to bootlick USA and loot Iraq.
Uhh no, I'm saying they didn't win the war because they couldn't meet their stated goals, I wouldn't trust that country as far as I could throw it.
My bad for assuming, btw.
I mean yeah that usually work like that but USA are in entire another layer of hypocrisy, their stated war goald are only a political theatre for their population, plausible deniality and propaganda purposes.
Have a good weekend, mate!
An open conflict between the US and china would probably end with exactly zero winners and an uninhabitable glowing piece of rock orbiting the sun. Maybe the cockroaches can then find a better path to communism.
I feel like nukes are more just showpieces than item that anyone actually considers using.
probably depends on whose soil it's on and whether or not it's a proxy war and/or world war.
