Biden isn’t a weakling - he’s just a face of the power brokers and powerful force that run the US - just like every other US president. It’s by design and US presidents are mostly controlled puppets. Obama also wasn’t the one running things when he was the US president.

It’s also a misconception that the US was feared by all. That’s just make-believe like Hollywood movies. Those who fear the US are European countries and 3rd world countries. Countries like Russia and China have never feared the US. The US just never really troubled them until now. And what they’re doing now is basically reacting to American threats on their borders.

People tend to forget the poor China was the one that did most of the fighting during the Korean War against the US and allied countries and the Chinese technically won that war (but it’s regarded as a stalemate officially). And that was the US at its peak militarily because it was vastly superior to every other country on earth militarily (save for the Soviet Union) and China at its lowest both militarily and economically. So why would a country that pulled that off fear the US? And Americans have always been weary of Russia because it inherited almost everything Americans feared about the Soviets.

Regardless, NATO needs to be really scared. No NATO country has fought a country as strong as Ukraine on the ground since the end of WW2. Fighting defenceless goat herders is different from fighting a formidable peer military that has a lot of support. And Russia is currently doing that with a fraction of its military (less than 10%) despite being outnumbered by 4:1 and they’re achieving results (despite initial setbacks) whilst rotating forces to get the needed frontline experience and tactical battlefield awareness. Combine that with the Chinese and US + NATO countries don’t stand a chance in a real shooting match.
and you are quick to forget that u s fought against Japan in WW2 trying to protect china from Japan invasion

Joe Biden is a weakling. Times have changed, the U.S is no longer feared or respected on the global stage.

This is not about Biden being a weakling my friend. This is about USA policy of interfering in complicated issues that have nothing to do with them. Imagine an American nation forming a military alliance with countries in far away Asia! If that's not provocation, I wonder what it is?
Do you actually expect China and Russia to fear USA? Why would they.

It's just laughable and it shows those who have no clue about the military and warfare. Logistics problem is part and parcel of warfare and no military can avoid it during war hence no army goes through war unscath. The Nazis who were the greatest military force in human history with technology more advanced that their time lost WW2 due to logistics problems. Allied Forces during the highly overhyped and excessively celebrated Normandy landings in western history took disastrous losses due to logistics problems. So, having logistics problem during military maneuvers is as normal as being in the military itself - it's about how you regroup and mitigate against it, which the Russians have done during the 2nd phase of the war.

US also had a lot of logistics problems in Iraq and Afghanistan hence a lot of their regular forces and special forces were killed in ambushes. It's also the reason why insurgency was very effective against them in both countries. And these countries aren't on Ukraine's level. Iraq is half the size of Ukraine and it was already demilitarised with arms embargo for a decade since most of Iraqi weapons were of US origin (the US propped-up Sadam to fight Iran and turned on him after that). Almost all of Iraqi lethal weapons were grounded because they couldn't get parts due to US emgargo. So the US attacked when Iraq couldn't even fight and all of Sadam's generals and their troops didn't fight because they thought the US would give them power once they get rid of Saddam. And once that didn't happen - they started the insurgency that broke the US' back, hence people tend to call the Iraqi insurgency the real US-Iraq war. As for Afghanistan: the country had no military and they're basically tribal goat herding militias with AK47 and RPGs. Evidently, none of these two countries had any army, if we're being honest. Ukraine (the 2nd biggest country in Europe) on the other hand had the largest army in Europe (only 2nd to Russia before the war) that was trained for 8yrs by NATO and was supplied the most sophisticated weapons.

The logistics problems Russian forces faced during the initial phase of this campaign were actually exaggarated due to this being arguably the first global war that happened during the social media era where you can see everything in real time and a lot of it is also propaganda. Most of these logistics problems weren't even because the Russians were incompetent - it was mostly because they didn't go in with an intention to fight a war of attrition. They went in thinking Ukrainians wouldn't put up a fight and would try to save their cities. Then both can get to the negotiating table. Hence they invade with a smal number of combatants and kept matching without guarding their rear. And that's basically why those ambushes were successfully. However, since they moved on to phase 2 and put their feet down to fight - how come the exaggerated logistics problems disappeared?

LMAO @ CSG and MQ-9B like China and Russia don't have advanced EW that would jam those overrated interfaces. Small Iran captured a much more advanced US drone that's superior to MQ-9B, with EW, without breaking a sweat. Ever wondered why even American F-35 stopped going anywhere near Iran? Well, it's because Russia gave Iran radars that can detect them from far away and knock them out of the sky. Now, imagine what Russia and China would do to them. grin Some of you just throw out names without any understanding of what the other side has.

BTW, China just launched semi-submersible surface ships. Russia on the other hand has stealth Corvettes that are fully submersible - so they can go under water or act as surface ships. NATO countries including the US don't have those capabilities. And when it comes to EW - there's no match for Russia right now in the world. Something to ponder on apart from all the other advantages they have.

I disagree with you sir. China has always feared the US. China will always fear the USA. The only thing that was giving China small power was Russia. China will just play the politics but they know and understand who has the military power. China is just 1 country, USA is NATO and NATO means uk, Germany, Israel, etc. any day China dares USA you will see how people will voluntarily fight for USA just so China is defeated. USA is still world power in all of its sense
I can never understand what is going on with Europeans, I mean is Russia Asia?
Why are they all antagonist against them? What is so bad about joining hands with Russia to ensure peace?
The US is just trying to create problems to keep her relevant in the world stage.

When you see a comment like this one, just know that it was typed and posted by a kid, probably 15 years old kid. The same China that is on the lips of every USA lawmakers, policy makers, show runners everyday. In case you don't understand what they are normally discussing about China, it is always about China catching up with them economically, militarily and technologically. USA has reached a peak, there is no more ladder to climb but China is going up the ladder to catch up. When China does, she will then have advantage of population.
Besides, superpower nations don't fear one another, mutual respect is what they have for one another. You know why? The why is called MAD!

An intelligent and insightful post by someone who actually reads, is objective and is not influenced by western narrative. The greatest threat to world peace is the US. In trying to ensure their hegemony for perpetuity (something they should know is not possible) they use every tactic possible even stirring up regional conflicts through unecessary alliances. First it was NATO that aggravates Russia now it is the QUAD against China. Meanwhile China has not engaged in any imperialist activity since emerging. However because she is the major threat to US Hegemony the US wishes to contain her through sanctions and regional alliances that will lead her to act and then she will be labelled an aggressor by the West and it's media. Does America not conduct millitary drills with Taiwan and Japan off China's coast?

As we speak Biden just announced a 150 million dollar support to QUAD, the bulk of which is for joint military drills in the South China sea.

Who complains then. What is the US doing conducting drills with Australia and Taiwan in the South China Sea? Is that not provocative and unaceptable to the Chinese in their area of influence?

China and Russia are conducting drills in open territory near Japan and it is within their right to do so.

What is good for the goose should be the same for the gander. Peace

Joe Biden is a weakling. Times have changed, the U.S is no longer feared or respected on the global stage.

A rational person is always a weakling to you people irrational person like trump is strong right? Jonathan was weak ?

First of half of your post is propaganda, second half is emotional thinking
AldrichAmes:


Biden isn’t a weakling - he’s just a face of the power brokers and powerful force that run the US - just like every other US president. It’s by design and US presidents are mostly controlled puppets. Obama also wasn’t the one running things when he was the US president.

It’s also a misconception that the US was feared by all. That’s just make-believe like Hollywood movies. Those who fear the US are European countries and 3rd world countries. Countries like Russia and China have never feared the US. The US just never really troubled them until now. And what they’re doing now is basically reacting to American threats on their borders.

People tend to forget the poor China was the one that did most of the fighting during the Korean War against the US and allied countries and the Chinese technically won that war (but it’s regarded as a stalemate officially). And that was the US at its peak militarily because it was vastly superior to every other country on earth militarily (save for the Soviet Union) and China at its lowest both militarily and economically. So why would a country that pulled that off fear the US? And Americans have always been weary of Russia because it inherited almost everything Americans feared about the Soviets.

Regardless, NATO needs to be really scared. No NATO country has fought a country as strong as Ukraine on the ground since the end of WW2. Fighting defenceless goat herders is different from fighting a formidable peer military that has a lot of support. And Russia is currently doing that with a fraction of its military (less than 10%) despite being outnumbered by 4:1 and they’re achieving results (despite initial setbacks) whilst rotating forces to get the needed frontline experience and tactical battlefield awareness. Combine that with the Chinese and US + NATO countries don’t stand a chance in a real shooting match.

Come on this is sheer ignorance. Afghans are possibly the most effective fighters on the planet. Afghan militias have resisted every single invading force in history, and expelled Russia in the not too distant past despite having vastly inferior equipment each time.

Afghan males are born straight into military training and receive the benefit of centuries of military wisdom gained from centuries of resisting invasion. No one in military circles underrates them.

Secondly, you don't have a good understanding of defensive advantage. A country being invaded, no matter how small, has a 3 - 1 advantage in strategic military theory.

And Russia is not performing well in Ukraine at all. Maybe you think you can pull the wool over the eyes of gullible ones out here but by now in global military circles, Russia is a laughing stock that has lost one-third of its total fighting force (army) in a few weeks. One third!

Its tanks are getting wiped out with hand-launched javelins, its senior commanders, hacked down day after day. That is no formidable foe.

China and Russia are the only countries with bomber planes.

When you see a comment like this one, just know that it was typed and posted by a kid, probably 15 years old kid. The same China that is on the lips of every USA lawmakers, policy makers, show runners everyday. In case you don't understand what they are normally discussing about China, it is always about China catching up with them economically, militarily and technologically. USA has reached a peak, there is no more ladder to climb but China is going up the ladder to catch up. When China does, she will then have advantage of population.
Besides, superpower nations don't fear one another, mutual respect is what they have for one another. You know why? The why is called MAD!



Nice one mr woke guy. It’s okay to analyze on the pages of a website but I have given you the simple real life scenario of what will happen to China when they try.
USA is not just one country.
