More measured than I thought they would be I think China really could just stop US imports completely and not really care. If I had to bet who was coming out of this entire mess stronger I’d put it all on them.

As far as I can tell USA and Russia are both having a contest to see who can sabotage themselves best.

Edit: Just read they’ve pretty much really upped the stakes with stopping exports of all rare earth materials to all countries.

All the US guns in circulation I think would be useless against actual military weapons/vehicles, it would be air strikes against a guy with a rifle. (maybe hit and run tactics after the fact red dawn style is when they’d be of more use).

Yeah it’s big but missiles and artillery have stupid ranges now and the Chinese really aren’t lacking in numbers.

The advantages I’d give the US are the F22 should be better than any fighter China has but the J-20 isn’t that far away and the F22 hasn’t a lot of missiles.

Also it would be very hard to move that amount of troops and equipment without the US catching on but definetly not impossible, shipping containers could probably do it.

Last advantage is I don’t think China would have any interest in actually invading the US they’d just sell their dollar reserves if they wanted to do serious damage.

Theoretically Canada and Mexico could both lets say China use them as a staging point. Us would in my opinion fall in a few days and the US is actually doing its best to aggro all three of them.

I’m pretty boring nearly always a beef curry with chips on the odd occasion salted chilli chicken.

The thing you aren’t grasping is when they do attack a Nato country the rules are off the table they are going to be using tactical nukes definetely or possibly worse

In my opinion it’s suicide to wait for a nuclear country to make the first move especially when there’s a defense pact of 30+ smaller countries. They are going to use nukes the best we can hope for is their tactical ones on the battlefield.

Putin thinks we are weak we need to give him a bloody nose, Russias the one that’s weak and they’ve been proving it for 3 years.

I understand it’s a defensive pact but it still make no sense to wait in my opinion and why give the Americans a chance to switch sides then it is really ww3.

Well if I was the country that knew it was being attacked I’d not be waiting for the Russians to build up their equipment. This could be Ww3 if you wait until they’re ready or their buddies to arrive.

Might be time to end Nato and make a new alliance that is willing to do what is necessary.

A planned attack is still an attack. Waiting is stupid we should hit them with everything now if there’s proof.

If I see a local nutter known for stabbing people staring at me with a knife and bragging about he’s going to stab me later I’m stabbing him first to protect myself. Same thing imo.

My opinion is if they have any proof of this just declare article 5 now and attack them before they are prepared.

Waiting for Putin strikes me as stupid just get organised and crush them as brutally as possible.

I dunno I’m seriously considering BlackView for my next phone the huge batteries and the Flir cameras appeal to me.

Things are probably a brick though but yeah I’m also sure I saw one from them with a 15,000mah battery but without the Flir cam which I really kinda want.

I like a ploughmans but I’m much more sparing with the pickle I do it kinda weirdly though I think and use ham and cheese (supermarkets seem to only use cheese so I think I’m wrong.

Whatever though that’s how I like it.

You can probably find on of them on YouTube I think it was by grim reapers but yeah they set everything up as accurately as they can and set the ais to the same high level.

Then just watch how it plays out. The meteor missiles on the eurofighter are just much better in truth longer range, faster and they can spam more of them.

The Felon is stealthier but it doesn’t save it.

By the time Russia makes any meaningful numbers the rest of us will be in Tempests, FCAS and NGAD. I’d be Suprised if they can make any more actually given it’s 14 years old anyway and most people class it as 4.5 gen.

The Felon was bad enough they couldn’t sell it full stop and production is already over at a handful of units. Yes the rcs was estimated but it still lost those sims despite having a much lower rcs than the Typhoon.

Point is it’s probably the worst stealth plane in the world against a fighter like an f-35 or even a Chinese J-20 it wouldn’t even launch a missile.

All Russian hyped tech has proven to be very bad when actually used is the point, they claim to be a superpower but they aren’t and never will be again.

Simulations like Dcs using all known data also they only have about 6 of those planes anyways. Russian equipment is a joke they are using donkeys in Ukraine ffs.

Kinda weird anyone’s worried I’ve seen sims of eurofighters vs Su-57 felons and the eurofighters beat Russias newest stealth fighter with even numbers.

Russias a pure non threat right now militarily all they can really do is threaten Nukes and if they did it’s over for them.

I’d say Both Russia and the US are in major decline right now and we should just give Ukraine enough support to keep embarrassing them. Not sure Im for invading Russia directly unless they attack a Nato member.

I vote we all change the name officially to the United States of Mexico.

Well technically they can fly anyone into them, nothing stops the host country denying them entry if they try to leave the base though.

Probably wouldn’t ever happen except in a very rare case like this one but yeah it could happen somewhere the way America’s been trolling Europe in general.

They can stay in the base but should be denied leaving imo

A huge war with a real possibility of nukes being used but what’s the alternative wait until a few more Countries fall then have to fight them as well.

Ideally Putin just needs removed or a reality check but that seems unlikely.
