So now they have two.

They will have 8 by the mid-late 2020's.

fuck those chinks

Carriers are a massive deal, they are a main component of power projection, not many things are more Intimidating than sailing off your countries coast with an entire airfield of fighters, bombers and CAS aircraft.

Overestimating your enemy is preferable in every single case than underestimating.

Those who are the most optimistic, are those who have caused military histories worst failures.

It's better to prepare for 20,000 over the hill, and it turn out to be 2,000, than prepare for 2,000 and it be 20,000.

They said we would end WWII by Christmas with minimal casualties in Europe.

We ended up being there 3 years with 300,000 casualties.

Vietnam was supposed to be won in 4 months.

We gave up after 10 years.

Korea was suppose to be a cakewalk, no way little Korea and economically backwards China could beat ALL of NATO with the world's best technology, and the world's leading generals.

Instead we got anally fucked so hard they redrew the border in their favor.

Before we nuked Japan, it was estimated we would suffer 2,000,000 casualties invading the mainland

Those who look at the bureaucratic decisions of optimism and thinking that's how it's going to be, are actual mentally braindead retards.

"bUt ThEy PrEdIcTeD oNe WaR"

Okay you imbecile, sit down before you get people killed you child.

If they say three months, expect 10 years.

If they say 1 month, expect 3 years.

If they say we can destroy an insurgency in less than a year, expect a 20+ year long troop deployment.

Sounds like mini nukes are in order

@Tommunist and @Alpaca13, I have a PC and a PS4
Arch_Dornan_2242 on PS4 and It's a Dornan on Steam

And we could've won Vietnam i'm still salty about that

smh my head

I agree

I may not agree with your politics, but I'm sure we both hate communism

Hell, Market Garden, we would be done in a matter of weeks, and Germany is all tapped out of resources and manpower, the allies actually lost 40,000 Airborne from the US, Britain, France, etc, leading to one of the worst blunders of WWII.

Y'know, there's one thing about Communism that I have to say makes it a superior ideology

No ideology has killed more communists than communism

got me good

I just don't understand why we didn't mass invade northern cities and occupy them.

During Vietnam.

We never invaded the north.

I don't think we were allowed to legally

Like, international law prohibited us from actually invading on our own, we were limited to a support role

Which, fuck international law

I mean, most of North Vietnams pilots were either trained by Russians, or were Russians.

lmao who enforces international law?

the great internation?

jews?

A shitty buncha conglomerates
