WW3 Watch: Might the United States Actually Lose a Conflict with Russia or China

in intelligence •  7 years ago 

I have always consider the United States military to be a monopoly
It dominates it's market. It was interesting to learn that.might not be the case. What would be.the outcome of China and Russia paires ul against the United States simultaneously? That is my big fear. That would be their best strategy for rapidly depleting US forces and equipment.

Great question. Russia and China are natural enemies, but accidental allies due to U.S. foreign policy. They share a continent, which means as aspiring super powers they'll both compete for natural resources in central Asia. The fact of the matter is that Russia and China are already teaming up against the U.S. to remove the USD as the world reserve currency. They're involved in undermining U.S. influence around the world; especially in Europe, Africa, and South America. In economics, business/trade, diplomacy, technology, and espionage, we're already in a cold war, but just short of a hot war. While the Pentagon has moved back to attaining the capability to fight a "two-front war", I don't see the U.S. engaging both countries at once. I think it has to be one or the other, in which case the other not at war with the U.S. should make the best of a good situation. That might mean we choose the Baltics or the South China Sea, but probably not both.

I feel the United States could be successful if they approached the situation in a way that fought a technology war with China while having a traditional war with Russia.
The undermining of the UD dollar, I had no idea! My husband has a very military mentality and comes from a long line of military family. He will not absolutely will not let me in eat in anything besides the US dollar. Not even steem, which wants to be eqauk to the United States currency. I can only use the site for social purpose and not allowed to let my account accrue more than a certain amount.
I am not from military and never really knew military people until I married into this family that lives in a completely different style and mentality than I was accustomed too. But it's been intriguing to learn the values culture and traditions.
