China and Russia, because they have given up exceptionalism, full spectrum dominance and all those other fantasies, only have to counter the U.S. military and only in their home neighbourhoods. That is much cheaper and much easier. What’s really expensive, because unattainable, is chasing after the exceptionalist goal of dominance in everything, everywhere, all the time. That’s a “tried and true” road to oblivion.Defense is a lot less costly than offensive, especial "full spectrum dominance." Also, anyone with any familiarity with Chinese martial history knows that it’s a history of weapons innovation and countering.

""I could win that war in a week," Trump told reporters following talks with Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan. "I don't want to kill 10 million people ... Afghanistan could be wiped off the face of the earth. I don't want to go that route ... I have a plan that could win that war in a very short period of time ...""
annihilation is on the table... get over it..
Only a biased anti-war person would not realize this... its like they cant even fathom this happening so they write "we cant even defeat teh Taliban!"
We could kill just about everyone in our enemy nations in the GWOT in a few days... its on the table... were just not doing it... get over it...
If the US were intent on colonizing the rest of the world, then genocide would be job #1. As it stands, subjugation is the goal of this empire.
Its regime change to avoid having to kill them all...
You biased anti-war people should take the W...
“Its regime change to avoid having to kill them all...“
Knowing that if you try to kill them all you will get hell at home from abroad and from within.
And Americans have no idea what that means in real terms. It’s not like in the movies.
“ no idea what that means in real terms. It’s not like in the movies.”
