Submarines to pay back
Dano, I take comfort that joe has three of his best men on it - Moe, Curly and I forget the last name. I feel better now that knowing we are in good hands.
Larry Fine was the 3rd Stooge, my boyhood heroes. 😁

I have exactly zero confidence our current leadership in any military branch has a clue how to respond, compete, or strategize in any capacity.

Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche

Does it come in a hollow point?????????
They need a shorter leash on the N. Korean
???
This was a China test, not a N. Korean one.

We can crush the Chinese like roaches..............let them bring it.
Sure it will be horrible, but they will NEVER win.
Now I am going to snack on a couple of Ding Dongs
I don't think I could possibly disagree with you more. China can raise an army of fighting aged men larger than several times the entire US population. They have arms and sophisticated technology that rivals ours and even has the backing of the Russians. And even if they couldn't defeat the US from a technological standpoint, they have the resources and manpower to win a war of attrition several times over. And let's not kid ourselves, The USA relies significantly on Chinese sourced goods and is indebted to China to the tune of nearly 1 Trillion dollars.

Pick up a copy of a book called Kill Chain by Kristian Brose.
The very first chapter breaks down exactly how the Chinese would defeat the US. The rest of the book explains why & how we can get our edge back.
It would be far simpler than that. They produce nearly all our antibiotics.
I agree that China is a much larger danger than most think. We have shipped so much manufacturing out of the USA so the corporations can increase their bottom line. Now it coming back to bite our butt. Now days I'm almost glad (almost is the operative word here) that I'm as old as I am. I don't think I'll be around to see how bad things get. I worry about my two sons and their wives. My grand-children and great grand-children are in deep stuff.
Now I need a cold beer!
China supplies the little korean the missiles .
I watched a program on Amazon Prime TV called The New Silk Road.It was about Chinese manufacturing and marketing.They are very good at what they do.
How could we ever go to war with China? All they'd have to do is stop shipping us all the material we would need and the war would be over.
Even if we did. The US can't even win wars against 2-bit enemies. How could we win against China?
As mentioned China will never destroy us we owe em too much money.
China has a couple Billion people we have 330 Million of course they are going to be the new world leader, let them deal with all the damn problems USA has taken on all these years. Time for us to rebuild.
The number one problem mogley is we have to have leadership that wants us to rebuild. Joe looked at the Ho and said "You think things are bad now?? Here, hold my beer!"
I fear China knows we have a serious leadership vacuum right now and that they will move on Taiwan before the R Congress is sworn in in Jan 2023. If we react at all, whatever that reaction is will be wrong. Our reputation on the world stage will be irreparably diminished. We live in dangerous times.
We don't have the balls to fight like we'd have to fight to beat them. Every decision has to be called in to the bosses in Washington, and there can be no collateral damage. And God forbid we offend them while we take aim. What are the gender affirming pronouns in Mandarin?
China will have Taiwan by Christmas and ole Joe and the hand picked stooges have opened Pandora's Box for the world.
