Last time I checked, they were at the fore-front of cell phones and underwear vending machines...the US was too busy building technology that decides the fate of empires....

I will however say that I am completely indoctorined with the "US arrogance", I will admit it....while in the same breath speak out about why other countries despise us. But let's be realistic....all public opinion aside, the US is the most powerful nation in the world. I have to say that other countries have every right to dislike us...hell, I dislike us a majority of the time...but its because what our leaders choose to DO with the power that we have.
You can hate the US all you want, but debating our gloabal supiority when it comes to almost every avenue, whether it be technology, military, or even mainstream music...is pointless. You helped create the rail gun...we gave you Jay-Z...fair trade.

China has a very long way to go before she can bring it to anybody.. let alone the US, she has 1 aircraft carrier for god sake, the US & NATO which would be the case should China make such a brave move, combined have 22 Aircraft carriers, and many thousands of navel vessels,
What about Aircraft? well the US & NATO have over 40.000 aircraft to Chinas 5,176 inferior aircraft
Lets not get to carried away such a move would be suicide
Even with Russia allied to China, that only makes 2 aircraft carriers & 8.000 aircraft
Nothing to worry about, its not over confidence its common sense
Just curious...all aircraft etc...how would the US fair against a nuclear attack vs China AND Russia? Or better yet, a ground war in Iran hand to hand with China and Russia vs the US?

It's so funny to read the yanks slamming the Chinese Military and Russian/Soviet equipment. How quick you forget that in every war you have fought since 1945 (you've lost all of them) it has been Soviet/Russian equipment that has sent your useless army back in boxes, and the Chinese Army that sent you packing from both Korea and Vietnam.
You lost those wars because you were militarily outgunned and logistically trumped by people who were 100 years behind you in terms of technological capability and probably less than half the numbers of men you had. You cannot hide this fact by claiming you lost because they were unjust wars,

Out gunned oh please don't be stupid. if we had fought that war like WWII N. Vietnam would have been a smoldering ash. It is only when we bombed Hanoi that they decided to come to peace talks and our Politicians gave everything away and sold out the South Vietnamese people and we left. Granted we should not have been there in the first place but you can't win a war even with superior firepower if you don't even give a half ass effort.

If our military came home and regrouped and focused our efforts on a single enemy to destroy them there is no military on earth that could stand up to them, The problem is politicians use our military like mafia enforcers around the world and spread them too thin and tie their hands with ridiculous rules of engagement etc etc. it is not our capabilities that have lost us any war it is mismanagement by corrupt politicians. They have much blood on their hands.

I agree with many of your points but this is not one of them. Some of your recent comments on this thread make you appear to just be an America hater using emotion and not reason and logic. There is a growing group of Americans that realize our many faults and are working to educate people so we can change our country and bring these rogue politicians to justice. You would do well to cease the emotional American bashing and focus on helping us educate our people.

I like the way you cleverly disguise the civilian casualties in those numbers to make it look as if you were decimating people. The numbers are pointless though, because YOU STILL LOST.

I used military combatant numbers AND used casualty numbers from the countries themselves, china, korea etc. I have no need to change those numbers. They are all readily available for view at wiki.
Just a little reminder what the US military is capable of.
One last thing..........those numbers are digusting as it is. Too much death.
You tried to fight it like WW2, you used massive ammounts of bombs, aircraft and major infantry and armor operations. The result? You were completely and hopelessly outgunned. Stop trying to revise the facts and just accept it
You keep saying there is no military that can stand up to you, maybe that is true in the alternate reality you seem to exist in, but to the rest of the world, you are a joke
I'm not interested in how many of my posts you agree with. I dislike your country and people. If more governments and nations had, you would never have been given the chance to destroy this planet like you have. Therefore it is logical and reasonable to dislike America.
Your country is too far gone to even attempt to save.
And we in the international community cannot wait for this reckoning to happen. I cannot think of a nation so richly deserving of a beatdown more than the US.
