difference is with China is they got to their pedestal in 60 years with alot of our help

other nations organically grew over hundreds of years

With alliances etc

yea. i think someone mentioned it earlier. Economics is the way to ruin china. Cut them off completely from trade.

I guess so

But they r big

Exactly, the CCP pride themselves on 6% GDP growth

yea, but big countries need alot of resources.

though we know that is bullshit now

They might rely on themselves

Even tho economy will be like not stonks

im looking now, but i think china has a distinct lack of alloy production dont they?

Feeding 1.5 billion people

when world cuts your trade off will be nigh impossible

they lack the raw ore to produce steel dont they?

Yea, buy alot of Australia's

and everyone elses

thats what i thought. i forgot where i saw that though lol

And thier own steel even when its made using our ore

is still garbage

Those frigates etc they got won't be much better than a tin can

yea, they lack the ability to refine it enough

You could probably bust open a Chinese frigate with a ww2 naval mine

i wouldnt be suprised

can confirm

have a chinese manufactured steel prybar

bent it on a wooden deck

I have broken multiple “steel” tools on wood

Guess what?

All of them were made in China

Coïncidence?

I think not

It's all well good blaring your military is well equipped, home made as they say... but that goes out the window if it lacks even basic quality materials

most wars devolve into who can keep pouring resources the longest

Unpopular opinion: China and Russia beating the US in a war would be near impossible.

Russia does not produce 90% of the vehicles it showcases for itself, it’s for selling to others. While China is up to 40 years behind in military technology

<a:thinkmove:404395158939893760>

Its unpopular for a reason

If Russia and China invade USA they will lose
If USA attacks Russia or China the US will lose

Depends who attacks first and where it takes place

And vietnam had absolutely nothing and they still won against the US.
