Based on the battle experience and history of both countries plus the military spending of America.
Anyone who's done anything competitive ever knows the value of experience, and America has a fuck load of experience of fighting across the world and experience with all kinds of weaponry ranging from nukes to subtle espionage.
It would be interesting to see what alliances would be made. Russia would probably be laughing along with a large majority of the Muslim middle east.
Based on what I remember from my days in the Islamic forums they would pray for horrible things to happen to China nearly as much as America.
Ye've fuck all experience against a well equipped, motivated and modern army. And thearmy's experience against half trained and idiotically lead insurgents doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies that the army's leadership is up to anything much other than feathering their own retirement nests.
As minimalist has said, quite a lot of the spending difference is pork barrel and corporate welfare, another huge chunk goes into the category of "we haven't afucking clue" (which likely means bribery and other corrupt payments). I think ye're overestimating theUS's position quite a bit here.
2 Things. I'm not a pirate and I'm not American so I don't know why you're typing to me in the style of a pirate saying "Ye've got".
The experience is relative. Which country out of China and America has the most nuclear weapons, the widest spread military bases. (Add to the fact the military bases are pretty close to china).
America is very war ready.
I'll gamble with the boxer who's been using the punching bag and going against weaker opponents for years and years vs the steroid guy at the gym.
Not that China is weak, I don't know who would win, I'd put a bet on America.
Also I agree with people who are saying it depends who started it and other circumstances like that.
But I've deceded to not be one of those guys who argues about who will win theoretical wars that no one can realistically predict with people I don't know on the internet.
It's for the sake of my own well being. So this is the last reply I can give.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
