A clown said a Carrier is slow, 😂😂😂
The newest ford class carrier has a top speed of over 30knots (56 kmph) a ford class carrier on its FULL throttle with its two nuclear powered rector would easily keep up with smaller vessels.


the clownish war expert said small ships would swamped the air craft carrier, the question the clown should ask itself is how did ships numbring of over 40 get so close to an aircraft without it been detected.
We're did the radars and early detection AWACS aircraft went to??, a group of ship coming to attack an aircraft carrier group would be picked up by radar miles away.

an aircraft with over 400plus aircraft would sit idle and wait for a group of ships to come ATTACK it.


a good example Is the USA and Japan forces battle of midway in the pacific, both aircrafts carries of both Nations never saw eye to eye
They engaged themselves with planes, the safest way to attack an aircraft carrier is by air, how will you be stupid enough to ATTACK a carrier with ships, when such carries carry aircraft that can easily destroy you from the air

When kids believe in myth, reality becomes the baddest rude awakening bitchh.

In 2006 during a live-fire training exercise by the US Navy, a Chinese Kilo class submarine emerged from beneath behind the US carrier, simply bypassing thr entire US Carrier fleet and emerge on the surface undetected. When the US Navy command saw what happened, they were angry because they understood that if this was a hot war, the Chinese sub could simply hsve taken out the carrier and many of the fleet around it because they never saw it coming. It effectively busted the myth that you cannot reach or approach a US carrier group undetected.

One thing your irks don't know is that fleet carrier and strike groups are one of the most vulnerable military assets in a peer battle scenario. During WW2, for example, the US Japan lost more than 20 carrier ships to submarines and air strike attacks. The US lost more than 10 carrier ships also. And that was when missile tech is still in its infancy. Imagine now that you have hypersonic missiles, stealth missiles, and missles that even shoot flares while in flight to confuse enemy's detection assets.

Guy, while carrier ships offers global power projection and reach, they remain one of the fattest sitting dock targets for peers with 21st century rocket technology.

Nigeria will weaken BRICS. They are dead weight.


I don't want them in BRICS, too much corruption.
I understand your point in the area of corruption. But Nigeria is far from being a dead weight economically. The world's most populous black nation and one of Africa's largest markets for inflow of consumer goods and endowed with many essential mineral resources is too important for any serious cross border geopolitical and international economic bloc such as BRICS to overlook.

The same Chinese that the imperial Japanese dealt with in ww2, or is it another Chinese you are talking about
the same China that was under the rule of the imperial Japanese empire If not for the USA entering the war in the pacific, the whole Asia would be speaking Japanese language now.

in the Korea war China was fighting on home turf, the USA had to do mobilisation from north America, then transfer weapons and man power from across the Atlantic, the Chinese were also fresh, the USA forces were battle weary fighting the NK invasion.
And also the battle ended on a stalemate the Chinese never gain any ground, they only prevented the USA have taking the whole Korea, when the Chinese tired to counter they were also pushed back, so sir what your points?
.
Are you seriously comparing China as it is now with Japan that is practically still under occupation?

The way you jump from one topic to another is the reason I hate talking to your likes. Stay focused on the topic for Christ sake. This is not imperial Japan or old China.

US war hawks like Lindsey Graham mouthing on taking on China or Russia in a direct war is pure lunacy.

"I have one question for you: can you watch Chinese or Russian TV in Switzerland?

[In Germany, we cannot. In Switzerland, we can have Russia Today, but in Germany, everything is forbidden.]

If it's forbidden, is it a democracy?

In Serbia, you can watch Ukrainian TV, Russian TV, Chinese TV, and also American TV, British TV, Swiss TV, French TV, German TV—whichever you want. That's your choice.

Who is defining what democracy is?

You know, when I was very young, almost a kid, I was very bad at drawing or painting—totally untalented.

I drew a horse, but the horse didn't look like a horse. I had to make an inscription below saying, 'This is a horse.'

That's what they do today.

When nobody sees that there are democratic forces, they say, 'We are democracy, and you are not.' And that's it."
Facts.

Many of our western-pro brothers here don't even know that there is more censorship and policing of free speech in the west than you have elsewhere in the East.

China has 1.4 billion people btw.

The West are gonna use India to fight China.

Or what do you think?

India will ally with the West when shit hits the fan.

Maybe not to fight Russia but they'll definitely fight China. And Pakistan too.
You make me laugh.

India will never allow itself to be used as a proxy against China not against Pak. Yes, they have their differences as regarding the border crisis. But, it ends there. India knows they need China as China needs them to counter the overbearing economic and gunboat diplomacy hegemonic death hand of the west vis-a-vis the East and South/East Asian corridor.

These two nations suffered a great deal in the hands of colonialism and they're not willing to trade that mutual understanding and nee found economic growth for a rough ride that would only satisfy the west. Aside being founding members of the new BRICS initiative that's aimed at countering the western held global economic reins, India and China are also members of the SCO, which tells you that they value their common economic and future political survival than whatever crossborder differences they have.

When shite hit the fan, many of these countries you think would be prime actors would simply declare their neutrality. The event that happened in Syria when Russia started its military campaign should be an eye-opener. So, relax, there is nothing to worry from that angle.

None of these would matter when a hot war starts.
The US produced just 3000 planes in 1939. Then produced 300,000 over the next 6 years.

That was in the 1940s.
In 2024, never mind the 2030s or 2040s, China will add zeros to that figure.
I pity whoever is deployed close to China when sh*t pops off.

Human beings have a hard time properly deciphering scale.
I don't care who you are, if you want to take on 1.2 BILLION humans who are running a planetary factory, don't bother buying a plot at the cemetery.
In peace time, the West is already complaining about overcapacity. Cars, steel, cement, solar panels...
Imagine what happens when they're at war and have lost over 100 million citizens.

The US is larping about a war with China.
It is an unfunny joke. Conventional or nuclear, the sadism that China will mete on the Americans will make Satan blush.
The Three Kingdoms War fought in China had a 36,000,000 to 40,000,000 fatality count. WW2 fatality count is 80,000,000 in comparison
That was in AD 184-280. One hundred years of pure, animalistic, barbaric carnage using only blades and arrows on each other
At that time, Rome was occupying Britain. Same empire by the way that had 60-80 million people at its peak.

Now you are planning to f*ck with these same people.
Lunatics!

-Lord
It's pure lunacy my brother.

When Beijing entered the Korean war, body bags in the thousands started returning home to DC. And that was a less advanced China as at the time. Take a look at this same China today.

Each time I see or read about US war mongering hawks wanting a war with China, and Russia, I cannot help but conclude that truly, man is a failed project on this planet. embarassed

My point is what influence do those countries wield? How do they contribute to the strength of BRICS? basically those countries are economic parasites. They're almost as useless as p in psychology
So Nigeria is useless in terms of economics? Do you know how vast the Nigerian market is in terms of importation? Majority of those counties you call parasites are rich in many mineral and natural resources that the west would do anything to acquire. Imagine these nations trading according to their own terms, not the ones some western bullies reads out to them as diktats. Every nation that joins BRICS today is giving itself an economic lifeline of fairness, equality, mutual respect and independence tomorrow because it allows them to break free from the shackles of unfair western economic practices and gunboat diplomacy.

Stop spilling pablum and vacuous crap all over the thread, China of course doesn't want to invade Taiwan but the west is making it a fait accompli at this point, Incase you haven't ventured out of your provincial hutch in 'America' lol , the west is preparing for WAR!!! When both sides are fully prepared it might not even start over Taiwan it might be Philippines.

I've read your half-baked, barely literate jeremiads about how the US is saintly and every one else are bad hombres looking for a fight, Cuba sided with the Soviet Union 70 years ago, it is still in the cross hairs of the United States today.


No foreign power has a single missile in entire Western Hemisphere including in states openly hostile to the US, the US simply won't accept it yet it has at last count more than 750 bases and counting in more than 80 countries pretty much containing and boxing in other burgeoning powers. What self respecting power would accept and wouldn't contest that level of containment with it's security and economic implications?

The US is not only sending weapons including offensive ones to Taiwan, it is also sending military instructors to Taiwan to train them for whathuh The Academic effing decathlon?? .

I subscribe to the realist school of international relations, states do whatever is necessary to maintain their power and there's no implicit morality to it which makes your beatification of a perpetually warring nation like the US frankly nauseating.


The Russia blah blah blah like coups, who tried to overturn the constitutional order in Bolivia? The US has toppled more democratic governments in any decade than any other state on this planet.

They have tolerated, even cheered a brutal war that'd make even Stalin shudder in Gaza while providing financial, diplomatic cover for Israel and 50 ton bombs in a densely populated enclave to an army that deliberately targets CHILDREN according to UN alongside moral giants like ISIS, Boko Haram; An army that conducts offensive operations in aid trucks and ambulances.

I'd be watching what other nonsense you type
You are wasting your precious time on that one. No matter how you want to try to make him see the light of truth by sound reasoning, he will always see the US as his god while the rest are the devils.

It's not just Russia's influence alone. People across Europe are waking up to the reality of things around them. Russia is like a major market in a city center, close it and you'd have to spend more than twice to get your goods from the next market miles away. On the military side, the talks by Russia to send attack weapons to enemies of the west has rattled some heads across Europe. Imagine the likes of the Houthis getting access to weapons like Iskander M and KH 101 cruise missiles, it would be terrible for western interest across the Middle East and Africa. What's happening now is just a reactionary trend normal with people in their respective national politics faced with geopolitical interplay. Don't expect the Satanists in the west to go down easily... I won't be surprised if this year and next records spate of assassinations or colour coded revolutions across some western cities.
