Thank u bro,
I laugh when ever I hear about china's military strength, is that all they have? the whole of china's economy is controlled by the west. Because they (west) are the market on which china survives. US will frustrate the hell out of them, what d hell do they have self, if they don't caution NK before it's too late, they might end up funding the war indirectly for the US and still be supporting north Korea on the Inside thereby loosing on both ends.

Lmao...

If poverty ridden China and its red army could defeat the Americans + UN forces, what makes you think America can defeat the new China militarily grin

You lot are jokers!! If you study China's military strategy and how effective the Chinese are at what they do - you won't spew crap on here... War is not a joke - and I seriously doubt America can win a conventional war against any super-power in the East, to be honest...

Nobody wants a united korea under any guise. Not china. Not japan. Not the us.

Such an entity would have military might to rival both japan and china plus tech smarts to rival them too. Besides they will also have cheap labor in the form of low wage north koreans.

Economically, not a good idea for anybody.

I think this will largely depend on how you define a war. Theoretically speaking, America has not declared a war on any country since the end of World War 2. There has been several extended military engagements authorized by Congress or the United Nations, but these are not by US legal definition a "war". The last times US declared war, it sought an unconditional surrender of the enemy. If the US declares a full scale war, i doubt if there are few superpowers in the east that can really muscle up with the yanks. Even Soviet Russia bowed when US upgraded to DEFCON 2 during the cuban missile crises when Kennedy ordered American bombers to earth orbit points, few minutes strike from Russia.

That 'tiny israel' possesses enough firepower to deal decisively with Iran...and this time I suspect most of the other Arab nations will sit this one out.

Israel has tech weaponry on par with the US...not just bought, but also developed locally.
israel woudnt dare attack Iran witout US intervention. They truly knw the implications, IRAN is one of the most powerful nation in the middle east. Israel with a total population of 7mill+ wanna attack IRAN I can't stop laffing. Even the size of IRANian army is twice the d total population of Israel. IRAN has one of the most advanced cyber-technology. Their ballistic missiles are the best, their borders are un-penetratable. Israel is only relying on the US and their useless Iron Dome system, wc couldn't not even destroy one tenth of hamas missiles during their last war.

Re: North-Korea In Combat Posture To Hit US by Kairoseki77: 1:29am On Mar 27, 2013
America could end the world tomorrow if she really wanted to. Full stop.

The USA spends more each year on its military then the other 20 top nations COMBINED! Add China, Russia, and the European Nations together just to equal the US military expenditure.

As an example, the US has 10 aircraft carriers that are literally unmatched in firepower. Each one could wipe out a small nation. China recently bought its first aircraft carrier (it is a 1960's model from Bulgaria).

No contest.

The US has flying robots that are capable of dropping nuclear warheads, stealth planes capable of dropping nuclear warheads, long range missiles capable of dropping nuclear warheads, stealth submarines capable of dropping nuclear warheads, I could go on.... And the US has a top notch missile defense program.

The US has military bases in 130 countries. The US has vast experience in war in every environment (urban, rural, desert, jungle, mountain, etc).

The US special forces will find you anywhere in the world and put a bullet in your head. Just ask the terrorists.

American citizens own over 300 million personal firearms. Not counting the police.

America has the best technology, can feed itself, and its citizens are crazy.

And the US never rides alone. If you want to fight the US you better be ready to fight Japan, South Korea, Israel, all of Europe, and Saudi Arabia.

Any questions?

America's War History

America's first war was against the top super power in the world at the time (Great Britain). They won.

America fought the top superpower in the world in the 1940's (The Axis Powers). They won.

American democracy fought Russian communism, America won. Put a man on the moon in the process (just to show off).

America has only "lost" wars against tiny countries that it politically never allowed itself to go all out on. If the US wanted to kill every Iraqi, do you think this could not be done in 30 minutes? It can, but American citizens wouldn't allow it.

I don't know where this meme got started that the US is scared of other countries. America is a cold blooded killer that has committed genocide, enslaved other human beings, nuclear bombed unarmed citizens in superpower Japan (the same Japan that controlled most of China at the time, and the entire Korean peninsula), massacred the Germans (the same Germans that were annihilating the Russians), and single handedly placed Israel in the middle of the holy land just because they felt bad. Then killed anyone who didn't like it.

I'm not saying America should be proud of any of those things (they shouldn't), but it should make any potential enemies more than a little nervous.

America is founded by the rejects of the world, every immigrant goes there for freedom and to move away from a place they didn't like. Zero percent of them will lay down in the face of a fight that reaches American shores.

shymexx: Lmao... Go get the number of those who died due to post traumatic stress from Iraq alone... undecided

America never sent millions to Iraq, so that would be impossible.

1.5 million US soldiers served in Iraq. About 10% develop PTSD (according to the Internet), and only a very small number die. It is very tragic.

Another important thing to remember about the US, is that for all it's strength it utilizes A LOT of restraint and tries to make up for its mistakes.

The same country that enslaved blacks, now has a black president. The same country that nuclear bombed Japan spent billions rebuilding Japan (and Germany) after the war. Now Japan (and Germany) is one of their strongest allies. Gave billions to Western Europe to rebuild, helped South Korea rebuild after the Korean War, and even offered billions to the Soviet Union (but they refused and wallowed in poverty).

The US gives more in charity than any other nation (both in dollar amount and per capita). The US leads the world in advancing human rights. How are gays treated in Nigeria for example? Who takes in the most asylum seekers on the planet? What country produced Martin Luther King and others? If GEJ started killing citizens tomorrow, who would Nigerians call out for to help? Why are there Muslims in hijab safely walking the streets of NYC? Where did the first female self made millionaire come from (she was black too)? What country revived democracy after thousands of years of monarchy in the world? What country gives out its technology like candy? Where did the Internet come from? What other country has black astronauts?

America is not perfect, but it always tries to be better than it is.

Still...America will crush any and all countries that attack it.

Re: North-Korea In Combat Posture To Hit US by KayDee4: 4:09am On Mar 27, 2013
The US will be secretly wishing that none of these hot spots (Syria, Iran, Mali and N.Korea) boils over the red line; they would rather not get into any senseless war, they are not ready for another one (psychologically / financially). They haven't recovered from the Iraq-Afghanistan fiasco, the economy is still very shaky, they can't even pay returning and wounded vets, 10 yrs after the Iraqi invasion, people are still outraged that they got into it in the first place; but if it comes down to the 'come down', they wont hesitate to delete North Korea from the world map.

. . . . . and as long as we have troublesome countries and terrorist who may one day just decide to nuke themselves and take the whole world along, I don't mind having the US do world policing duties.

Military spending by country. US spends about 700 billion a year, which is 43% of the global total.

700 billion dollars is 110.845 TRILLION Naira.

Or...30 years worth of the FG's annual budget.

Re: North-Korea In Combat Posture To Hit US by kodewrita(m): 7:47am On Mar 27, 2013
Just a gift to you guys from a website called Quora.

Category: Military History and Wars.

Question: How much stronger is the United States military compared with the next strongest power?

Responder: Daniel Kearns (former paratrooper with the 82nd 82nd Airborne Division.)

Answer:


No other military or combination of militaries could even begin to inflict the slightest numbers of casualties on the United States Military in a conventional war.

Consider:

The US spends close to what the entire rest of the world spends in defense. 711 Billion. Per year. The next closest is China at 143 Billion.

The M1 Abrams tank has seen more combat than just about any other tank on the battlefield today. It has never been knocked out by enemy fire. (Completely killed) Ever. China has less than five hundred Type 99 tanks, that have just been developed, and are not even close to being as good as the Abrams. We have 8,700 Abrams.

We have 10 aircraft carriers. The good kind. Everyone else has 10. Combined. And they are mostly small ships that can launch helicopters.

There are 8400 attack helicopters in the world. The US has 6400 of them.

The United States has engaged in every type of ground warfare in the last 20 years. From mountains to jungles, and from desert to urban, we have the some of the most experienced warriors in the world. No other country comes close to the amount of combat veterans that we have.

We own all the satellites that guide GPS systems. We have all the advanced stealth technology. The latest sensors? US. The latest information systems? US. An Abrams tank can see a target, the Tank Commander can instantly send that target to every tank in his Company. Now you have 14 tanks looking for you. Oh, and it also uploads to every Apache helicopter in the area. Every indirect and direct fire system in the area knows what you are and where you are. Your survivability just dropped to O. Instantly.

Fighting a conventional war against the US would be like a 3 year old child playing chess against Gary Kasparov. They wouldn't even know what they were supposed to be looking at.
