We Are Going To Lose The Coming War With China

Nations famously tend to always try to fight the last war, and what America is preparing to do today with the newly assertive China is no exception. The problem is our last war was against primitive religious fanatics in the Middle East and China is an emerging superpower with approaching-peer level conventional capabilities and an actual strategy for contesting the United States in all the potential battlespaces – land, sea, air, space and cyber. America is simply not ready for the Pacific war to come. We’re likely to lose.

In Desert Storm, Saddam Hussein was dumb enough to choose to face a U.S. military that was ready to fight its last war. That last war was the Cold War, where the Americans were prepared to fight a Soviet-equipped conscript army using Soviet tactics. And Saddam, genius that he was, decided to face America and its allies with a Soviet-equipped conscript army using Soviet tactics, except fractionally as effective as the Russians. It went poorly. I know – I was there at the VII Corps main command post as his entire army was annihilated in 100 hours.

Chances are that the Chinese will not choose to fight our strengths. In fact, those chances total approximately 100%.

These scenarios always have the US attacking the Chinese mainland. Why would we do that?

Why indeed?

When there are Numerous other avenues for us to attack along.

Some of which we Are currently using, With success!

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

It is not neccessary to kill hundred's of thousands of soldiers, sink a Navy, Destroy an Air Force to defeat China.

We do not need to take ground and hold it.

And China attacking our ground is ludicrous.

The idea is to deny China control of the whole Indian sub-continent and islands off its shores.

This, we are already doing.
