US military 'weak,' unable to win a single war: American think tank

[beijingwalker]

As if Russia is showing some kind of strength in Ukraine?? They don't even have air superiority yet...over 6 months after the start!!!!!

Also remember Russia is right next door to them so they don't even have a logistics issue. This is a a pathetic showing at best. What could be an easier scenario for them?

US in Afghanistan was not anything much better either.

It is too bad that you guys abuse your privileges on this forum. But I guess without Chinese participation, this forum would be near coma so I guess the admin staff has to give you guys a lot of leeway.

He doesn't have a job and career, so he spends all his time posting and commenting on PDF
Or maybe this is his only job, every time he thread, post and comment on PDF, he gets money

I never said that but you missed the whole point, US cannot win from 1000s of miles but can it win if the war was taken to US?

It's obvious China can't win a war near US, and China never wants to do it either. it's US keeps picking fight with China, not the other way around.

How do you know? I can say you don't have a job, it's meaningless, I don't like to go low to engage in personal attack discussions, we should discuss points, not nonsense.

When was the last time US really won a war?

Never. The US never won a war. But of course, only people like you who never served would ask this question.

" Jimmy Carter revealed that he had recently spoken with President Donald Trump about China. Carter, 94, said Trump was worried about China’s growing economy and expressed concern that “China is getting ahead of us.”

Carter, who normalized diplomatic relations between Washington and Beijing in 1979, said he told Trump that much of China’s success was due to its peaceful foreign policy.

“Since 1979, do you know how many times China has been at war with anybody?” Carter asked. “None, and we have stayed at war.”

China’s peace dividend has allowed and enhanced its economic growth, Carter said. “How many miles of high-speed railroad do we have in this country?” he asked. China has around 18,000 miles (29,000 km) of high speed rail lines while the US has “wasted, I think, $3 trillion” on military spending. According to a November 2018 study by Brown University’s Watson Institute of International and Public Affairs, the US has spent $5.9 trillion waging war in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and other nations since 2001.

“It’s more than you can imagine,” Carter said of US war spending. “China has not wasted a single penny on war, and that’s why they’re ahead of us. In almost every way.”

As I said Russia is fighting a country next door and is having problems...meanwhile we are usually fighting from the other side of the planet and can do exponentially better.

Absolutely you should take the words of Jimmy Carter, among the worst rated presidents. By the way, Carter was a nuclear submariner and have a sub named after him.

What benefits wars really brought to US, China didn't fight any wars for decades yet China is still growing fast, wars are not a way to develop a country.

Idiot. Tell me how well Russia and China would do fighting a country on the other side of the planet where every bullet has to be transported over.

Your air force can barely land a fighter jet in South America nevermind trying to fight a war there. Kiev isn't even 500 miles from Moscow. They better be doing much better than we were in Afghanistan. Right now they are showing exponential incompetence.

What did he say wrong then? let's talk about his points, not him as a person.

Why China has to fight a country on the other side of the planet?

For people like you, those who never served, the idea that the US never won a war is overwhelmingly seductive. You cannot resist that idea. It is like catnip to a cat, you go crazy over it. So it is really pointless to explain why that idea is at best incomplete. It does not matter what I think of what Carter said. It is more important what YOU think of what Carter said.

You missed the point of his question, which is not surprising.

No, you missed the point, I mean no matter you win or lose those wars, they brought you no benefits, they are pointlessly waste of human lives and resources, win or lose.
