They also have a million boats that can reach US soil but both can be stopped long before they touch US soil.

eh… i’m on the fence about asia. i can see it coming _possibly_ but I doubt it. my concerns are more about american response (the public).  
as far as russia, if this generation doesnt make an effort @ democracy, I forsee it falling back on “more prosperous” ways.

All they really have to do is look back on history and see that the Iron fist of the USSR will never work and will never happen again. Democracy may not be for everyone, but some sort of republic or checks and balaces system is needed in this case…

Communism is still a bit extreme for my tastes. but it fucking looks great on paper. Stalin was a genious. So was Mao. Unfortunately they weree both psychotic to boot.

If they have done everything right they should already have 4 bunkers with 4 marines each inside. They should also have at least 5 missle towers. It’s too late for a zerg rush, we will need a mroe tactical plan. Perhaps send a queen just out of their range of vision and spit shit at them for hours just to annoy them?

Sheer numbers is what it comes down to…they have over 1 billion people more than us, if for every 1 of our guys we take out 100 of theirs…they still win. Only thing that would possably save our asses in an all out war with china is 1. allied help, and 2. out match them in technology, but its still a stretch.

EDIT: Much can be learned from history as it tends to repeat more often than many realize. It’s happened before and will happen again.

I saw it on CNN when they were speaking about China’s mass militarization…

Here is a site that has a few specs…

[http://fas.org/nuke/guide/china/icbm/](http://fas.org/nuke/guide/china/icbm/)

The DF-5 is the 13,000 Kilometer that can reach US soil anywhere…

Probably the only part of this statement that I could agree with.

Quite honestly our military in it’s current state is not cut out for long drawn out wars, especially if someone finds a way to deter our airpower. This could change in about 4 years when the next line of combat fighters finally start being delivered, but even then, it remains to be seen.

that’s exactly the problem, the US military is not geared towards long campaigns. if this WWIII were to happen, we’d be re-fitting on the go, more or less.
