One thing to bear in mind, though, that China has no territorial demands against the US. Russia, on the other hand, holds land the Chinese consider theirs (it used to belong to China and the Chinese have long memories).

Haha you have some funny fucking ideas, we train for war every day, and conflict, when we aren't tearing ourselves apart we are playing chess with the rest of the world, because we can.
I am not boasting I am stating a fact, there is no military better trained armed or fucking technically advanced as the U.S is, we for sure have our weaknesses but our strength has always been our unity which is why it's the biggest target for everyone else.
Don't take our performance on the global stage as an indication of weakness. We might be in a lot of trouble on many fronts, but the last thing most of the world wants is a very pissed off U.S.

Just on this note, I wouldn't rule out China, personally.
They are the second largest economy on the planet. They have inserted themselves via foreign investment into infrastructure, agriculture, electronics as well as other goods all around the world. Outside of the EU they are the USA's biggest trading partner on both imports and exports. These things alone have enabled them to project plenty of power onto American.
Sure they might lose a conventional war but the economic damage that could be done by them is significant and not something that should be under estimated.
While you're absolutely correct, you're talking about home advantage in a time when we weren't as technologically advanced including war tech. Assuming no nukes are used, the US is still to my knowledge ahead in terms of military tech, unless I'm mistaken. If it's purely just on the ground combat then yeah I agree with you.

Going to war with China will end badly for us one way or another. If we win the war through military means, we lose economically.
The wise wolf who's pride is her wisdom isn't so sharp as drunk.
So what? Let's have you prove how woefully uninformed on the subject: how will China get to the U.S.? Answer: nowhere near as easily and effortlessly as the U.S. could attack mainland China.
You seem to have some idiotic child like obsession that the man that has the larger army always wins. This has never been the case at any point in history.
Not to mention to anyone who wasn't brain dead allied support was crucial to the Russian's surviving. Make no mistake with the death toll they suffered saying they won the war is laughable at best. Germany fighting on two fronts and their own mistake of over extending supply lines during a Russian winter on top of critical material support from allied countries is the only reason the Russian strategy of absorbing as many German bullets with bodies as they could "worked".
The home advantaged helped but it and numbers were nowhere close to enough.

Conventional: China and friends.
1: It was technically Russia's manpower advantage that won the war for them, they were able to throw more bodies at the enemy than they could throw back while simultaneously throwing more bodies into factories than they could and throw more tanks out of said factories than they could.
2: The USA is not currently as far ahead of China/Russia as Germany was ahead of Russia.

Well this thread is specifically about a theoretical conflict between the USA and China+friends, but for reference the UK is under no obligation to assist you in a war if you instigate it, and I can practically guarantee that in the post-Iraq climate we wouldn't.
Eh, you sure whatever it is you are drinking hasn't maybe gone bad, Haha the only technology most everyone else has comes from technology we passed on or reverse engineered from us, or gave away because it was obsolete.
Russia has it's own fucking problems right now, and so does China, and So does the U.S but make no mistake if it comes to a fight, the only thing China and Russia would be proving going against the U.S is that they are ready for their states to end.
There is a reason Putin is afraid of the U.S and plans unilaterally when it comes to other nations, because 1 on 1 they don't stand a chance in war, and as crazy as Putin is he knows we rather not fight, the same with Russia, but if the issue was pushed, Putin would single handedly be the man blamed for the destruction of Russia, Along with the leadership of China.
I mean this whole what if is pretty stupid and silly, because most of what we argue about in the U.S is how we abused or might be over using our leverage on the war, Putin and the Leadership of China would not want to see a U.S that focused and United and we know this.

Haha the U.K and the U.S might have our differences but we back each other when it counts, YOU might have no obligation but when it comes down to it our allies run much deeper than any of Russia's they still have hatred from the last time they tried to rule a Union.
