Is US military strong enough to conquer China on its own?

Our newest video goes in depth on what would it take for US military to go after Chinese mainland. It's actually a first out of two videos. This one is all about warfare, numbers and strategy. The second one, coming next week, will deal with the geopolitics of it all.

The real war is always in the comments section.

All I have to say is never, never under estimate your enemy and there are plenty of advantages and disadvantages on both sides, one thing for certain, we will all lose.

Even if it were feasible to defeat China, with a conventional land army, the human cost would be enormous. Nobody would be okay with that.

Everyone in the comments section _definitely_ watched the whole video (including me)

I always remember a quote from the Vietnam war.
"A bowl of rice and a AK47"

I was in the military 19D....any foreign military trying to invade another country right from the start said military is in a major disadvantage, the us Navy and Air Force would more than likely but not without taking large losses dismantle a majority of it's coastal defensive systems which would be great for our ground forces fighting a much larger army "number wise" in their backyard a location they know like the back of their hand not an impossible task to overcome but an extremely difficult task to overcome, the number of casualties would be massive.

popular joke in China:
News reporter: Why do we send our army to Syria?
The US: Because we suspect that they have weapon of mass destruction.
News reporter: Why don't we start a war with China or Russia?
The US: Because they really do have weapon of mass destruction.

Just because we’re the strongest nation in the history of man does not mean that we can invade a country by ourself. Invading has always been more difficult than attacking, you people in the comments are not very bright and it shows.

[CaptInsano]

This has to be the funniest prediction I've ever watched thanks for the laughs

[hongyangjiang]

I am here to watch basement military strategists argue with each other.

[nmxsanchez]

There's no winner in this conflict. The world would be devastated.

[evilraskal]

Pretty sure the carrier's will eat the hypersonic missiles first....

[fatfish]

The time when US take Beijing, Washington DC is already gone with the wind.

[dingyiyu]

Seeing comments below this vid, I realized why people say Americans are crazy about wars and invasion.

[jaytee]

Let’s just hope both of these countries leaders actually think before they start something.

[robbieseng]

Hope the world can truly change for the better with more harmonious cooperation and coexistence.

[FuckTheBidensClintonsAndObamas]

How unaware other countries are of the will of the American people who in almost every war fought an uphill battles that was supposed to be impossible but we make it possible. We may lose battles but never the war
