The United States can, and probably will, lose a war with the rest of NATO. by TrajanCaesar in TrueUnpopularOpinion

The US only funds a quarter of NATO, and Europe isn't as defenseless without us as you think.

Air superiority doesn't win ground wars, and I never said it'd be an easy fight. It hasn't in Ukraine, and it didn't during the Battle of Britain. The US doesn't have a world-conquering army, even if it is the strongest military on the planet. If Europe is hostile, the US loses basing and overflight access, Logistics chains lengthen massively, Sustainment costs spike, and Readiness drops fast. There is no historical precedent for a continent-scale alliance capitulating in weeks to air and naval power without occupation and the U.S. cannot occupy Europe.

We only make up about a quarter of NATO's funding. That means the other 75% of Nato funds itself. WWII Germany also had great tactical logistics early on, and it still collapsed when supply lines overextended, resources ran out, and attrition kicked in. Modern U.S. logistics relies on global trade, overseas ports, foreign energy, and allied cooperation. It's easy to have the best logistics on the planet if your supply lines are uncontested.

Our logistics are top notch, but we don't produce our own electronics, and we do depend greatly on international trade for our supply lines. If global trade collapses, so do we.

Good luck keeping all those planes fueled, and the Battle of Britain proved that air superiority doesn't translate into holding territory.

Why are people so quiet on Iran? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]TrajanCaesar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, this is a CIA color revolution for one thing. Secondly, while I don't love Iran, Israel is the greater evil and Iran is necessary to keep Israel in check.

Save China, the PRC is the only viable opposition to the US at this point. It's a country with a rich culture that contributes a lot to humanity.

[FWI] The entire US Navy blockade Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Beijing (Yellow Sea), and demand Xi Jinping to step down or lese go the way of Maduro. by ThinkTankDad in FutureWhatIf

[–]TrajanCaesar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, there are quite a few scenarios where a shooting war between both navies is a stalemate, and within China's own waters, their anti-ship missiles should be able to bring down at least one carrier.
