What is our moral responsibility as citizens of the United States when the President of the United States moves to deploy thousands of American soldiers against us?Trump signed a memo late yesterday ordering 2,000 members of the National Guard to be deployed in Los Angeles County after federal immig...
Nuclear weapons can exterminate a populace, but they cannot occupy, pacify, and rehabilitate one. For that, you need actual boots on the ground, which requires logistics. China could have the biggest military in the world, but that doesn’t mean jack-shit unless they’ve got a blue-water navy to ship them over here, and they don’t.
Remember, this discussion is not about China defeating the US. This discussion is about China liberating the US from the MAGAs the way the US liberated Germany from the Nazis. Nukes and drones are categorically useless for that purpose.
I completely agree with you, although things like cyber warfare also play a significant role here, in which the Chinese are on a par with the US.
Nevertheless, I think all this is pointless, because in my opinion, wars of invasion are only possible against countries that do not possess nuclear weapons – if this were not the case, a country like North Korea would no longer exist. So you are right in a way – but not because there is no military superpower comparable to the US, but because nuclear weapons exist, which makes conventional military superiority superfluous. That was simply not the case in the Second World War.
As I said, I think the Chinese have recognized this, which is why they are investing their money much more wisely. Also, as I said, we are talking about inconceivable amounts of money - such amounts that you could easily pay for decent social security for every US citizen, as is the case in virtually every Western country besides the US. That seems much more sensible to me.
