lol fear mongering china.
because if they aint us, they obviously want to kill us
enemy's enemy naturally becomes your friend imho, they're gonna have a common goal in face ing the US but you know they ain't never gonna succeed. the world war will probably result in a one-nation world at the end of day and you'll see the star-spangled banner in every cranny and nook all over the world
China would be happy if it could get rid of its god damn civil unrest
when u say EU, u mean mainly britain and its commonwealth right?
we all know italy, france are going side with axis of evil....cause they have a history of switchin sides and doing all in wars...
u might be underestimating china's naval force i think, though it's very true there rather weak in air which must count against their strength in the sea. their military spending has been world's 2nd highest for years, behind only the US and they haven't fought any significant wars in many years.
Non nuclear, the USA in no holds barred conventional warfare kicks the out of the bad guys listed. It's not even close.
the need for military bases overseas was history when carriers were invented. The US can have an army within hours in any place in the planet. These bull bases, overseas pressence and nation building is nothing more than waste of american's money to fill the pockets of the military industrial complex. Now we have citizens being sodomized daily at airports and they seem to like it.
My point is the banking/military complex has the world by the utter balls and it won't let some stupid WWIII it up. And personalities that don't fall in order will be quickly eliminated (Saddam/Ghadafi/etc)
There could be regional wars like Japas/Korea/China. India/Pakistan. Iran. But that's about it, and those will mostly be money making bonanzas for them.
so no WWIII anytime soon. of course unless the inevitable financial collapse starts early.

aussies = good guys
That war would pretty much be the end of the world. There wouldn't be any winner or loser. Idk how the "non-nuclear" hypothetical is relevant because that war would undoubtedly lead to nuclear holocaust.
Yup. We're the only country able to really project so much power around the world through the use of carriers but we're also the largest naval power and have the largest airlift capacity by far. Other nations can't even come close to matching that.
Plus, and likely just as important, we've got the best command and control. There are other countries who are good at it as well but they're all in NATO or our allies. China and Russia don't have anywhere near the AWACS or command and control that the US and NATO have.
The bottom line is I don't care how awesome your ammunition is when you can't find what you're supposed to aim it at.
Chinese Navy
63 Submarines
1 Aircraft Carrier
25 Destroyers
47 Frigates
138 Total Major Combat Vessels
US Navy
286 Total Major Combat Vessels
11 Aircraft Carriers
22 cruisers
61 destroyers
26 frigates
71 submarines
The Chinese only have 10 nuke subs while every single one of ours is nuclear
They have no cruisers
They have no real ability to invade or project power beyond their own immediate area
Practically every single one of our ships is several generations more advanced....at minimum
Literally every single aircraft we put in the air is more advanced...plus we have more of them..... 800 vs 3700!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Manny brought up another crucial point, which is Command and Control/Communication. Not even close
In reality, one or two of our Carrier groups is more powerful than most of the Chinese navy combined
We are so much more powerful that their doctrine is to simply slow us down from getting close to their shores (in a Taiwanese conflict scenario, for example)
We'd be in trouble though if China said " it" and started putting highly infectious pathogens in some of the stuff they send over here.
Yeah let's be honest it would just turn into chemical warfare
Same goes for Russia. McCains stupid comment of "We are all Georgians today" dominated the headlines but the real news was the russian military is in shambles...
In Georgia, Russia saw its Army's shortcomings

no one beats us one on one but terrorists & most 3rd world counties would stand on their side almost certainly, and the russians wouldn't stay inactive if they see american warships in the east china sea imho.Chinese Navy

another factor that counts against the US is you have no secret in your military/naval strength as well as you tactics in military actions, while china may probably come out as a darkhorse and cause the upset. it'd be something like a company of cops vs. john rambo
also you seemed to have neglected the missile boats, its very hard to hunt them down and they carry torpedoes which can be serious threats to the major battleships imho
I agree with most of that...The other thing about the Chinese is their land based ASM's, which are probably as good as anyone else has out there
Knowing how secretive the (US) military is, I wouldn't doubt that we have a few tricks up our sleeves as well.
I know I wouldn't want to be on a ship that traveled anywhere near Chinese waters in time of war. I'm guessing our leaders understand that and would instead rely on sending stealth aircraft/drones and cruise missiles while staying well away from the near/on shore capabilities of the Chinese Navy
Putin recently announced a major push to modernize their military. Will be interesting to see how he plans to pay for that
Russians are very good at some things and awful at others..C3 being one they suck at.
Missiles and building aircraft, though, they excel in.
Oh, and defending in winter
these chinese air craft carrier, is ex russian bull , hence they dont even know its even serviceable...they tried building there own, so far so bull ...
agree, what's the point in building an aircraft-carrier when you don't have any legit fighting jets for it to carry?
Chinese wouldn't hesitate to use EMP to counter all our smart weapons.
