I can agree with that. There will be loses (sunken vessels) and the American death toll will be much higher then the two Iraq wars. Our economy will be impacted for sure, without a doubt. That's said, we must remember that the U.S. and China are married economically. The damage to China's economy will be far worse for sure. Long story short, we can sustain the war effort for much longer....if needed. Political unrest within China, will be just as threatening to the Communist Party as it will be here. I'd venture to say it will be worse over there due to groups fighting for "democracy".![]()
Everything you’re saying sounds really good and convincing but that’s just how Operation Barbarossa sounded when they was popping shit in Berlin. I don’t think anyone can f with the US military on paper but in actual combat we’ve seen the US take L’s multiple times. When they stole Russia’s dollars over the Ukraine war the US officially screwed itself and now the world is shaping up to be independent of US hegemony.
If that war pops off the US is going to be in tough shit because China and its allies will economically attack and start dumping dollars which will lead to hyperinflation here. You think Americans gonna give a shit about some China with $11/gal gas and $10 eggs? I honestly don‘t think it will be clean cut and if the US survived it, it won’t come out as Rome, it’ll come out more like Byzantine.
Because we can bring the industrial plants and jobs back here, the economic issues wont be as severe here and after the U.S. flips the on switch, the war will be completely over. China is an exporting country, but they get ALOT of raw material from us and other countries. They mainly export finished products, manufactured at low prices. Add to that China is predicted to face a labor shortages within the next 50 years due to national policies and low birth rates. China is in-between an rock and a hard place right now. They have a small window in which they can credibility threaten to invade Tiawan. In short, China's status as a so-called "world power" is mostly artificial when you really look at it. They only have huge amounts of cheap labor, which is an advantage they are quickly losing.
There is a reason China is tooling around in Africa and buying up leases. They are trying to become less U.S. and 1st world dependent. China won't have as many Allies as you think if they cross the U.S. and invade Tiawan.....
This won't be Iraqi Freedom or Afghanistan or Vietnam. Those were asystemical (Guerilla) warfare situations and insurgencies (so-called "terrorism"). A war with China will be conventional warfare for the most part. Sort of like the First Gulf War with Iraq (Desert Storm), except it will mostly occur be on the high seas. Invading China would be folly, and I doubt the White Supremacists are that stupid because then you would create Afghanistan on a much larger scale.
We should be focused on what happens after the bombs stop dropping and set ourselves up to take advantage Geopolitically. The U.S. will be much more vulnerable internationally, and less focused on the Globalization. After our economy dips, it will inevitably start to hum again once its rearranged. We should ensure we are situated in a position where we can rake in the dough....as a group. Go fight your war.....We'll make your paper and plastic for you....at a price though.
