Is Tucker 'Kremlin' Carlson right or is he demoralizing everyone?
>So, the one thing you can be certain of is that Nancy Pelosi did not fly all the way to Taiwan to signal that the United States is going to defend that island from a Chinese invasion. We're not going to do that. We're not in a position to do that, even if we wanted to do that. We've already sent too many of our surface-to-air missiles, for example, to Ukraine, where our oligarch friends are busy selling them to various dark actors on the international arms market. So, if there's a major war in Asia any time soon, we will not be winning it. Every sober person knows that. Sad but true.
eh he underestimates the power of a country turning its economy into wartime production.
state requisitions, everything is bought on credit
would the us win such a war? dono. but whats for sure is that us till has the production capacity to wage a long war of production like during ww2/lend-lease.

Not a nuclear one. Two Trident class subs could reduce the population of China by a billion. It is just like burning an anthill.
Jack Clark
>US would lose a war with China One bunker buster vs the Three Gorges Dam. You were saying?
Lucas Lewis
The kikes sold all of the infrastructure and much of the know how is gone. One doesn’t turn a service based economy into something that’s cranking out top tier war goods very easily. In WW2 we had all the manufacturing capacity, it just wasn’t “weapons”. We don’t make shit here anymore.
Brayden Rogers
hmmm that must be something that happenned during the past decade and a half
if thats really the case, then i take back what i wrote
Dominic Baker
try winning a war without straight, White Christian men. ill wait.

If some sort of conflict happens in the next few years the US could just blockade the Straits of Malacca. Due to China's growing economy, something like 80% of their oil consumption is imported. It won't be a viable option for long though. It's also the reason why the Chinese are super fucking aggressive about the South China sea and bullying their neighbors.
>ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS HIT THE WEAK POINT FOR MASSIVE DAMAGE This is the most persistent cope regarding China.
Noah Roberts
You understimate the power of China to do the same thing.
Parker Parker
I feel like the Ottoman Turks cobbled together a far more fearsome force than a bunch of women, trannies, niggers and faggots.
Henry Murphy
Shit really isn't anywhere near as bad as defeatist kikes try to make it sound. Just because we don't do complete supply chain manufacturing anymore doesn't mean we don't have the capability to do so.
Michael Anderson
Yeah we would lose because we'd fight a war with China in a half assed way. It would drag on forever and then end the same way it would if we just did it the right way, with a nuclear exchange.
China can't afford to take Taiwan either but has to take the gamble or face the wrath of the 7 men or every 5 women ratio they created.
Angel Wood
Define win? If you mean invade China and take over, then no they won't win. If you mean keep them from leaving their country blockade and isolate them, the US could do that.
Isaiah Thompson
how you're planning on getting that close? you gonna win a naval battle with China too? lmao
Entire states have been hollowed out since the 80s, just look at the rust belt.
Lucas Reyes
It’s stupid, too. We wouldn’t do that, we’d block the straits of malacca for a few months and starve the Chinese economy of energy. Why do you think they’re trying to build as many carriers as they can? To have any hope at a long term war, the Chinese need the ability to power project at least down there with naval power.
Henry Martin
Almost all of China is undeveloped wilderness, you can see that yourself on Google Earth. They have a few small areas where a small subset of people are able to live relatively modern lives in cities as long as they get a steady supply of imports and can keep stealing intellectual property from other nations. They won't do shit and they can't do shit. If there was a minor impact on their food supply they would have a billion starving people eating eachother
Wyatt Moore
Wars are ultimately won through will. The Persians had nearly all of the advantages in the world against Alexander the Great materially, but his men had a passion to fight for their people that lasted until they reached India. China may be weaker on paper than the USA in some aspects, but her people are among the most patriotic in the world and willing to lay down everything in a war they would view as existential. The US is the opposite, with one of the most pessimistic populations in the world and no motivation to lay their lives down for their state. A draft would immediately instigate riots here. China already won by simply not having their country destroyed by Jews and Liberalism.
Kevin Rogers
The US industrial base is gone, since everyone prefers to work as a code monkey or play with stocks/crypto instead of actually working in factories. Now It's the chinks who have the industrial capacity to build stuff, hell they're one of the largest shipbuilders now
Gavin Wright
Of course we likely have the capability, but the infrastructure, know how (and supply lines) as you pointed out are gone. It would take years to even begin to get such an undertaking started. In fact, our leadership isn’t even trying.
Kevin Martin
Joe Biden lost to some ragheads in Afghanistan, what makes you think he has any power against China?
A naval battle could be won against China. The country is already pretty much blockaded in by nations that don't look too favorably on them. Just park in the Indian ocean and keep oil tankers from going in and cargo ships from going out. Where are they going to go, past Australia or Japan?
Nolan Bell
Depends a lot on what you think the war would be. A nuke-fight? Sure, we would probably “win”. A limited engagement over Taiwan? We would probably get our carriers rely by anti shipping missile spam. Our few super airfields in the area like Guam would be peppered with hypersonic missiles. Though how well they do on Taiwan itself comes down to how willing they are willing to fight, I get the feeling a lot less people in general are willing to fight for their country today.
Dominic Garcia
There goes about 2.5% of China's population. What about the other 97.5%?
