Japan thought the same thing"the American public doesnt have the stomach for a prolonged major war" I can assure you, you dont wanna test that

You forgot the most important battlefield. Cyber warfare.

Japan- “hey China.. don’t screw with the USA ships”

[rickd]

One thing not really mentioned. China is very worried about Japan and their history with them justifies those worries. Japan can be absolutely fanatical about the defense of their country.

China : Seeks war with USA
America in Bane voice : "You think war is your friend? I was born in it, molded by it. I didnt see peace until I was already a man"

China: We'll strike the US Navy and destroy it in a single, decisive strike.

Japan: You may want to rethink that blunder.

This didn’t age well. Half of China’s rocket force is filled with water. 😂

Something you have to also take into account about the US Navy that it seems almost no other Navy does as effectively: it's damage control officers. These men and women can effectively mobilize an entire crew to save ships that otherwise should have sunk to the bottom of the ocean. They are stubborn as hell that their ship will not go down for hours or even days after what would be deemed a critical and catastrophic hit. US Navy ships are also meticulously maintained and are practically guaranteed to have every anti-missile defense fully operational (aka the opposite of the Moskova)

China does not have a blue water navy. Their navy is completely built around protecting their coastal waters, not around having a global presence in the deep waters of the pacific or other major oceans.

Something uou forgot half the missiles are filled with water and the silo doors dont open

A SECOND PEARL HARBOR I think would spell the end of the PRC… we literally leveled half a country last time and us Americans are a bit more crazy now then back then.

Well first of all the US would need to know what a man or woman is before engaging in conflict...

[jacktumlinson]

i don 't know where they get the idea that American people don't have a stomach for losses in war. we understand that losses in war happens. we don't buy into the russian and chinese way of thinking of just sending troops to certain death just to achieve an objective. we try to win by losing as little as possible. that is just common sense. as Patton said basically: Don't die for your country but let the other guy die for his country.

If anything this video is optimistic about China's chances.

[happygrass]

What a positive video. Walk quietly but carry a big stick.

[torremth]

I'll just say I've seen the helm hit 60 knots on a carrier before 😂

The first strike would likely be a massive cyberattack on US and allied early detection systems and communications. This would not be easy, however, as cybersecurity is the most highly classified and refined tech that the US military possesses.

Everyone of these i see forgets about the submarine fleet that's in the Pacific and would be on there shores launching at all launch locations.
