You've greatly underestimated the US naval and air strength the way Hitler underestimated Stalin's army. Hitler lost not because he didn't have qualified generals but because he had the habit of underestimating his enemies. Usually we see this kind of characters as villains in Hollywood movies. The villain shows overconfidence and tells the hero how he (the villain himself) can be defeated while declaring that the hero is so stupid that he can never do it.
Man the point is your obsessed of USA and its technology USA army with the world greatest military machine in the history of mankind was not able to control few thousand Taliban did cats-trophy in Iraq & Syria . There forces are incompetent . China military and weapons are based on Russian technology which possess greater threat to USA and its allies. China is just protecting its major trade route and its strategically very important for China in future. China believe more on Trade than on war .China never underestimate China has the right to protect its sea . USA is provocative sending ships & carrier from USA to south china sea which is absurd and meaningless
