(what a suprise) an 'americans' history lesson is wrong again!!
actaully, you 'offered' one of your carriers but we declined (we fight our problems and wars by ourself)!!
we've all seen how the US pan out fighting a war 'ON ITS OWN' in vietnam....lucky the british was there to help you in iraq and afghanistan eh?

You have about 8,000 troops there, so stop acting like you are taking alot of burden off of the usa. its great your there but dont start trying to throw it in our faces. Once you have around 100,000 troops there then you can tell me how much you are helping.

yeah but we all seen how professional our 8,000 troops are (combat and peacekeeping).
your 100,000 struggled to keep stability in baghdad, when the british was out there mixing with the locals in basra!!
the american government was going to put in a request to send british troops in baghdad because of our experience in peacekeeping (things got that bad for you).
don't worry i'll not mention friendly fire - how many americans died by british friendly fire btw? oh thats right (NONE)!!
how many times did you hear about the british missing their targets?
i remember reading an article in the newspaper, the US bombed a wedding in iraq because they thought it was a terrorist gathering wiped out the bride/groom most of the family (including children), that is just one occasion!!

Huh you cant compare bagdad to basra, much smaller of a town. and when weere you guys out there talking to them. is this before or after they wanted you to leave. Great friends huh. Maybe because we have 100000 and you have 8000 so we are bound to make more mistakes than you. Thats horrible that they hit a wedding but thats what happens in war. Bad but a fact of life. Haha its because we have the missiles to fire might as well. Also how many planes and helios do you have there, that could also be why you never miss, you can miss if you dont fire.

China and russia would not do much
China wouldnt be able to fund their army if a war started between the usa and china, china gets most of their income from selling us there stuff.
China is also overrated a lot, wow 2 million man army with old weapons, not a very good idea just ask saddam. 2 million chinese guys would not put a real fight to lets sday the marines of the army. 2 million peasants or an army the is all volunter. Numbers mean something if you are fighting an army of your class, but china just gets old classed in pretty much all military tech.

Please tell me your joking.

Wow, you really are ignorant of China's military aren't you? Do you honestly think that China's army is a bunch of peasant militiamen? You've got to be kiddin me right?
shortmanx5... you've got a lot of catching up to do. You sound beyond ignorant of China's military power and you shold definately get your facts straight before uttering statements like that.
I don't even know where to begin correcting your... hillarious... statements. I strongly suggest you read up about China's military. Just to let you know, their armed forces are not consisted of peasants strolling around in carts.
China has a very well-trained army, a capable navy and airforce, and brilliant generals. ... If you honestly believe that the Chinese generals are just going to send waves of suiciiding peasants with aks... I'm at a loss of words for your ignorance.
Shortman... I STRONGLY STRONGLY suggest you google up China's military and read up a bit more.
i dont remember saying anything about carts idoit. Dont tell me to go read up on it, lol brilliant generals , yea those wars they've fought must have taught them. I think brilliant is over doing it, for a country that has been involved in a major war since before ww2 and during. and by involved i mean got slaughtered. Yes china has a capaple brown water navy, nothing to threat the usa. And yes compared to other nations its a good airforce, but not when you compare it to the usaf. You need to stop over estimating them, everyone acts like this is a new russia. it cnat fight a war away from them homeland, and it has about the same amount of nukes and france. so its not like they are a huge power... once again there a regional power.
Ok so then where does china sell all of there goods, which run there econ. they dont import alls they do is export thats not a good postion to be in. Because we can do without the crap from china. But without us there econ goes down the toilet. Thats why there wont be a war for awhile over tawain.
And besides using nukes , russia doesnt have that many tricks up its sleve.

US and NATO allies would come out on top, I think that we would sustain massive massive losses. The US has a lot of fighters that could take it on, especially with the F-22's and typhoons coming out. The only thing the Chinese have on the allies is astonishingly massive numbers. Like stuff that the allies wouldnt think of, and they will ALL fight to the death.
