IMO A war with China would not end well for the USA. China has built it’s military with our $$$$ over the last couple decades. They have complete control over how their regime spends, as they do not need to please their people. They have little pressure from internal groups demanding policy as we do. And they have the critical manufacturing infrastructure to make any weapons they choose, many from our own designs.
And of course the ‘distance thing’. As mentioned earlier they absolutely have the highest tech weapons and many more than us. Primarily defensive weapons to take our very best OUT.
What would be OUR alternative. Nuclear??? Really would we go there? I say no. As mentioned here, our leaders (either party) would need to give in and goodbye Asia. That’s China’s long term plan.
Hate to say this but I’m afraid that the USAs world power is behind us. And we did it to ourselves. Sad.
