To answer the question in the title: EVERYONE.
Yea, didn’t watch the video, but had to post exactly this!
Gonna have to have some posting requirements at some point.
In terms of conventional warfare, nation on nation, the US wins. The US Navy, the US Air Force, the US Naval Air Force are in a completely different league of power in comparison to China.
The thing would be what that war looks like and where it would take place. US mainland is an unlikely locale for the front lines due to the difficulties China would have getting a foothold.
In an all out war the US does have an access point to the Chinese mainland in South Korea. Granted, the US would have to get through North Korea and that’s already been tried once although the US wasn’t in all out war mode the last time troops were engaged in combat there.
Whether the US would actually be able to militarily defeat the PLA on China’s home soil I don’t know. We all thought Russia was extremely powerful and Ukraine just held them off and turned the tide with a bunch of NATO’s old equipment.
Obviously the Chinese economy and therefore military support capabilities are drastically different from Russia’s but many do wonder if Chinese military policies being perhaps closer to Russia’s than to Western standards does make one wonder if the tactics and capabilities of the US and it’s allies would ultimately be too much for the PLA to overcome even if relatively well equipped and bigger.
China is getting aggressive and the Philippines asked the US to help defend them. I’m amused at how the US is the bad guy here. Clearly the takeaway is the US should not defend her allies and should instead be aggressive like China!
Also LOL at ‘fisherfolk’.
