I don’t think India and China are on the same side at all, and India is the more reliable partner. They have the second most powerful navy in the world on books, but it is usually in the dryfocks cause it is breaking down.
Pandora, your map shaves off Alaska and the west coast.
And the F-22 is designed off of Colonel Boyd’s OODA Loop, it was a direct inspiration. It goes well beyond hardware, China is quite a way off from nationally sourcing the parts for it due to significant engineering obstacles. I used to live a mile from their hangers, those planes are no joke. I’m obviously a big Boydian on these forums, and have a strong grasp on Chinese military writings till the near modern period, and the fights between the military cliques, Chinese Civil War, etc.
US has the Alaskan Highway, and deep water capacity to land a lot of troops into western and northern russia. In the last 100 years, lots of countries have done so. Furthermore, their scouting capacity is nowhere as advance as ours, our optics dominate. Add to this Russia’s military spending has caused it to modernized to the US military’s design in 2005, not currently for ground based troops, we’ve abandoned our old tactical synthesis and have already rearmed, they are just now adopting it across the board.
Russian tanks are not that bad, but we’ve shown the ability to destroy much stronger US tanks captured by ISIS rather quickly. There is a reason why you don’t see ISIS driving tanks anymore, that was the very first thing we went after.
Russia really can’t stand up. Joker doesn’t have the military background I do, I wasn’t in the national guard for just a few days, I got to see our makeup since I was a kid on Beale Airfore Base to bring in the Army for four years in a war, to reading every strategic text ancient and modern I can get my hands on. I agree, Russia isn’t the Soviet Union, it is much weaker. It has developed weapon systems that can hurt, but Chechnya, Aleppo, and Ingushita, it to mention Ukraine and Georgia, shows they have very sharp weaknesses.
Nobody should desire to destroy them just because, but at the same time, hands down they would lose if it came to a skirmish, outside of catching us off guard.
Joker is deeply invested in a fantasy scenerio where the world MUST fall apart into a anarchic hell hole to thrive. He is so maladapted that he needs everyone else to fail before he thinks he has a chance of advancing. While I put high stock on survival skills and ability to hunt, I think you would rapidly die off if you tried to enroach on anyone’s camp. You lack the psychological awareness to think beyond mere scavenging. Your a hardcore loner, not a leader. Your ideological outlook doesn’t encourage you to think beyond taking and having, there is the inevitable counter response by others that would take you down, and they won’t be polite and civil about it, nor behave in the parameters of thinking your used to. Theybwouod hunt you down with upmist efficiency, and terminate you. Dominating a few deers and wolves isn’t like combatting a militia full of skilled veterans who can take shifts in tracking you and whatever very tiny group you gain, if any, and kill you as your shitting or pissing. Your understanding of military things rests entirely on refusing your shortcomings and impossibility of your own defeat, that you have some clever plan that will let you thrive as others die, unable to resist you. Your likely to be an even bigger bitch in that universe than in the present, will fair worst, shocked others aren’t making it easy for you to succeed, and if they don’t outright kill you, you will die in a rapid spread of a plague like bronchitis, cause you cant find any antibiotics.
Your fantasy is a mere compensation to overcome your weakness by making everyone else weaker in a what if situation, one not coming around, and if it does, your going to be very wuicklybdead in. Pictures of comic book characters don’t change this, claiming “don’t you think I already thought of that” don’t, cause I’ve already out thought you, and your thinking on such topics is horrific and weak, a mature as it gets. And showing how bad ass you are sniping deer that can’t shoot back and hunt you down for months straight, chasing you till you die isn’t going to impress me. You know next to nothing about these things. World has to collapse so you feel vindicated for having to shit in Alleys in Seattle, because your political gifs you post suggest it will. It won’t just because you want it to, because you need it to. Only way it can is with a mass nuclear barrage. Even then, you are still gonna be someone’s bitch. It is in your nature to be so, it is why you have always been as such, and desiring to be a local had boy over the weak won’t put you on top, as others will rapidly cut you down. People won’t flick to you for your sake, they will organize for their sake. You lack the charisma and vision to keep anyone behind you, and certainly lack the knowledge and authority.
