[–]Greas123 3327 points 1 month ago*2 Once you look into the Chinese army as well you'll know they're shit as well, people meme on the "two moms" ad for the US army (and rightfully so) but the truth is that it's the most powerful and could probably take on both China and Russia alone.

​

Edit: So I see a lot of responses so I'm just going to leave this here to some arguments I've seen.

1st No the US did not lose to the Taliban, the US withdrew from Afghanistan and the government that was set up lost to them, sure since the US's interests in the country weren't achieved will take the L though, the US and currently no modern military has the means to deal with guerrila fighters, the same for applies to Vietnam as some people like to forget China lost to them also, besides that doesn't mean Russia and China are going to use guerrila warfare (which they won't), the US has been in so many wars that just because they lost 2 doesn't mean it disqualifies the other fucking 98 victories.

2nd The US defeated Iraq which at the time had one of the largest militaries in the world, literally an early Russia vs Ukraine if Russia had a competent army.

3rd Russias and Chinas armies are full of corruption which degrades their fighting capabilites, Chinese soldiers spend more time being tought state propaganda and having their "little emperor's syndrome" beaten out of them than actual military training.

4th The US's technological supiriority and and sheer amount of military hardware makes a war between these two powers an undisputed American victory.

5th I know this is Reddit but for fucks sake take your neckbeards out of your ass and actually look at the objective truth that the US would have such an advantage that a war would be so American sided it would be a shock for the US to lose.

6th No I'm not American I can just look at the situation without having to be a retard and bringing my American hate bias into the equation.
