  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MyNameIsCharlie [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HALO12325 Japan is an island nation, and would have adequate time to train their troops. If you assume that the Allies would just standing by and watch China invade country after country, sure, China would win but if they don't, they're not going to make it to Canada, not even close. Yes, North Korean troops aren't as well taken care of as South Korean troops, and are generally much shorter. I suggest you look into the Korean war, taking Seoul doesn't mean that the war is over. Numbers alone don't win wars, especially when the technological advantage in all sections(airforce, navy, land) is so great. [/quote] Riiiiight. Look, I'm done here. You seem to believe in miracles. Japan could not turn the JDF into a military in enough time to matter, and OUR military says that if North Korea rolls on the South it has three days. This conversation is going in circles with these fairy tales. How about I just sing the tune you want and you can go dancing around the room with a flag to it: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhnUgAaea4M]Aaaaaammmeeeriica Ammmerrrriica![/url][/quote] As I said, Seoul being taken =/= war over. I don't think you understand how effective modern tanks and airplanes are over troops who can barely fight back, but that's fine.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MyNameIsCharlie [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Just Luck China would never start -blam!-. Neither would Russia. You guys seem to like to talk in extreme hypotheticals. China doesn't care about North Korea. North Korea is completely inconsequential and unimportant. Russia and China would never go to war over North Korea. ESPECIALLY against the U.S. The ONLY damage North Korea could ever inflict would be on South Korea. And if North Korea started anything, China and Russia wouldn't intervene much if at all if the U.S. and South Korea decided to go ape -blam!- on them. [/quote] I agree. My hypothetical is directed to the posters that seemed to think we would ROFLstomp the Chinese, and that we are invulnerable. You would have to be pretty stupid to think that you are beyond harm.[/quote]Right. In a hypothetical war between the two, I feel like the American military is more powerful. BUT, that's not to say that China couldn't inflict a lot of damage.

  • Well US military for sure. The thing is within a few years China will have surpassed our military, because the Trillions of dollars they get from all the stuff we buy from them, literally goes into their government and military. Communism at its finest!

I just know that if they went through Canada, they'd have to fight through Canada's military (which isn't as weak as many seem to think). On top of that, I'm sure we'd be helping the Canadians fight off the Chinese to keep them from making it all the way to us. And the fact that most of Canada is open space just makes it all the easier for both U.S. and Canadian forces to bombard the advancing Chinese forces without having to worry about civilian casualties.

I can say that China is the only superpower that worries me. They have an Army that is 14 million strong, and no qualms about throwing lives away. They aren't peasants with AK's and RPG's either. They are a fully modernized force that is only about a decade behind us. While we continually say the sea, and our Navy protect us, a determined assault force can get through, provided they have enough people, and the will to do it. If we were to go to war, I actually see China winning, but not through skill or technology. They win the old fashioned way, by numbers. If they wanted to take us opn, they would likely come through the Bering Straights, which is only 20 or so miles across. A massive missile salvo to keep our ships on the defensive, and then they are in Alaska. They then push South through Canada, and onto our northern borders. If they roll with enough armor, they could move quickly, and without fear of all the NRA members taking potshots with their .30.06's. For fuel they could use our refineries. Each one becomes a divisional gas station. I don't see us blowing those, we would want to recapture them, rather than destroying them. Since our military is stretched thin at the moment, we probably could not stand for long. The toughest US units would be the ones that saw combat most recently in Afghanistan. They would likely see themselves in charge of largish militia units, doing ambushes and the like. Over all, I think we would win, but China is no pushover. We would likely die as a society shortly afterwards.[/quote] Your cute little theory is dumb to say the least. Sure, china has numbers, but as soon as war is declared china wouldn't even be able to get their troops out of their own country. You do know that the US has two F-16 squadrons, an F-15 squadron, and an A-10 squadron in South Korea alone, right? They'd be attacking chinas military bases within the first hour of war. Let's not forget two more F-16 squadrons from Italy and Germany (A-10s also), and F-15s from England, that could all be on the attack within hours. Anyone who thinks china can waltz their enormous army over in cargo jets, without being shot down, is delusional. [/quote] That, and I also don't think Canada would just sit by and let China stroll a massive army through to attack America.[/quote] A determined assault, once initiative and momentum are achieved, is very hard to stall. And there isn't much Canada could do. Most of Canada is empty space, which makes a war of maneuverability very easy to do. The Chinese very much could do this. If they really wanted to, just like we could invade them. Either way, its hubris to think we are invulnerable in Fortress America, or that our military is invincible.

  • The Americans treat any nation security threat to Canada as a national threat to the United States for anyone confused. In this hypothetical war constantly debated for some reason an attempt to invade Canada might as well be an attempt to invade the U.S.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] B4RK1NG SP1D3R [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Munitions lll [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MyNameIsCharlie I am an American, also a former infantryman, and have a degree in American History. I can say that China is the only superpower that worries me. They have an Army that is 14 million strong, and no qualms about throwing lives away. They aren't peasants with AK's and RPG's either. They are a fully modernized force that is only about a decade behind us. While we continually say the sea, and our Navy protect us, a determined assault force can get through, provided they have enough people, and the will to do it. If we were to go to war, I actually see China winning, but not through skill or technology. They win the old fashioned way, by numbers. If they wanted to take us opn, they would likely come through the Bering Straights, which is only 20 or so miles across. A massive missile salvo to keep our ships on the defensive, and then they are in Alaska. They then push South through Canada, and onto our northern borders. If they roll with enough armor, they could move quickly, and without fear of all the NRA members taking potshots with their .30.06's. For fuel they could use our refineries. Each one becomes a divisional gas station. I don't see us blowing those, we would want to recapture them, rather than destroying them. Since our military is stretched thin at the moment, we probably could not stand for long. The toughest US units would be the ones that saw combat most recently in Afghanistan. They would likely see themselves in charge of largish militia units, doing ambushes and the like. Over all, I think we would win, but China is no pushover. We would likely die as a society shortly afterwards.[/quote] Your cute little theory is dumb to say the least. Sure, china has numbers, but as soon as war is declared china wouldn't even be able to get their troops out of their own country. You do know that the US has two F-16 squadrons, an F-15 squadron, and an A-10 squadron in South Korea alone, right? They'd be attacking chinas military bases within the first hour of war. Let's not forget two more F-16 squadrons from Italy and Germany (A-10s also), and F-15s from England, that could all be on the attack within hours. Anyone who thinks china can waltz their enormous army over in cargo jets, without being shot down, is delusional. [/quote] That, and I also don't think Canada would just sit by and let China stroll a massive army through to attack America.[/quote] A determined assault, once initiative and momentum are achieved, is very hard to stall. And there isn't much Canada could do. Most of Canada is empty space, which makes a war of maneuverability very easy to do. The Chinese very much could do this. If they really wanted to, just like we could invade them. Either way, its hubris to think we are invulnerable in Fortress America, or that our military is invincible. You both are pretty naive to think otherwise.
