And that sample size is pretty small. I wouldn't count on the US losing a war.
Well the trade war isn't going great for them...
America wouldnt come off very well in a 1v1 with China tbh I doubt either side would win but Alas.
How so? China has a manpower advantage, but they don't have the capability to project that advantage beyond the mainland/local territorial waters. In what way would America not "come off well", when the enemy has no credible way of actually getting to us, and no way of supporting it's economy without international trade? Are they going to island hop from one American defensive position to the next, all the way across the Pacific, while also securing shipping lanes through the Indian ocean for the oil to make that possible?
Sounds like a bad time - for them.
Im talking about the actual conflict zone, I dont think either side would be able to actually take ground in the others homeland but rather the militaries of both powers would maul eachother quite badly to a stalemate.
A stalemate where China is locked into its territorial waters and has to rebuild its military while suffering a military blockade, medium and long range bombardment - while America retains freedom of navigation and inter-continental trade?
Doesn't sound like a stalemate to me. It sounds like a slow death. China is even more reliant on trade than we are and in a hot war, they lose the majority of their trading partners.
What does America lose?
