Yeah, US has highest numbers of fighter jets presently, but China is set to surpass that by 2030.
US still has the largest tonnage displacement for ships in service but China is soon to surpass that.
What gives the US advantageous tonnage is because of their massive aircraft carrier fleet and amphibious ships. China's shipbuilding is unstoppable.

On worldwide operations... I agree Russia don't have the funds to launch global operations but China very well has the means and military to do so. They're not just as enthusiastic in controlling countries with military and aggression like the US does. China is more focused in it's region and the South China Sea than playing God in faraway countries that they don't give AF about or much vested interests.

China's own style of dominance and control is more economical— soft power. Their own play is to make everyone even the US dependent on them economically.

China had a trade surplus of $1tn+ last year and see the way the whole of CNN, NBC, FOX News and co were having a meltdown.

Na that trade surplus dey pain Trump that's why he's trying to slam China amd slow their economy down with any shït he can get his hands on. Cos Trump very well knows this pattern all too well. An economic powerhouse, and a powerful military as well as ambitious leaders is basically the ingredients US had that made them the De facto world power after WWII.

One of the guys we are supposed to work together on a project tomorrow is stuck in Dubai.

I found out this morning that he was supposed to travel over the weekend before Iran went berserk against gulf countries .

This is Washington Post. There's a reason Iran is striking those hotels in UAE, Bahrain etc. Some of them are housing US servicemen.

abduleez1:
All these big talk. I wan see something against Russia or China first. Not all these long talk.
You think if US has the chance they won't try to mess up China or Russia.
Saying US has the power to depose a sitting Russian or Chinese president just speaks epic bullshit. Even Trump himself with how unhinged he thinks and talks no fit talk this trash.

Yeah, US has a humongous budget but China isn't too far behind them in defence expediture the way you make it seem.
US defense budget hovers around $900bn -1tn yearly while China's is around $300bn. But in terms of PPP (purchasing power parity) China's real spending is about $550bn. Still, even the US disputes the figures saying China reduce their actual defence budget spending on paper because their militarisation rate is rapid AF and seems outsized than the budget declared.

Anyways, make of tgat what you will.

A bully is beating up your boys. Instead of helping them out, your supporters say the bully wouldn't dare touch you. But you haven't punched the bully in defence of your boys.
What sort of 'Senior man' are when someone keeps waltzing in to beat up your boys and snatch their toys yet all you do is "condemn the actions"?

Can you beat your chest China or Russia will get away with attacking dependencies of the U.S.? The U.S. took their ally, Venezuela, right under their noses and all both did was to give press releases. Maduro is still in a dungeon somewhere.

The U.S. is bømbing Iran to smithereens too, and like Venezuela, deposed their Head of State. China and Russia have only made press releases condemning.

Let's be factual with these things, please.

It is not mainly a bomber like the B-1 since it's more designed as a fighter to strike fire but it can also perform that role to an extent since it's multipurpose.
China can have more aircrafts just like more naval ships but the question is will there be more effective and multipurpose like the F-35 and F-22 raptor? You said earlier that as the US is making their hypersonic missiles china will advance to the next stage so as they are producing en masse the US is taking their birds a notch higher my guy.

Reality: Canada depends heavily on the U.S. for military protection.

Some of those liberals will even support the devil cause they hate trump. Many of the posts from some of them during that shootout at a Jewish party in Australia last year were not surprising. Some supported the murders to spite trump.

If USA is such a superpower it claims to be, why hasn't they effected a regime change in Iran?
Together with the combination of Israel, why is Iran still winning them massively in this ongoing war?

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
🇮🇷🇺🇸🇶🇦 Iran hit a core element of the US missile defense system. At Qatar’s Al Udeid base, the AN/FPS-132 radar, worth about $1 billion, was struck.
This radar is a key node in Washington’s global missile shield, covering a vast area from Europe to the Indian Ocean. Only six exist worldwide, including sites in the US, Britain, and Greenland. It can detect launches from over 5,000 kilometers away, including from Russia.
The damage may be repairable, and the US still has broad surveillance capabilities in the region. But the financial and strategic blow is real. No country had previously taken out a component of US theater missile defense.
This will not end the war, but it proves Iran can inflict serious damage.

Lol, this airbase and radar.... This radar especially.... I can see the fingerprints of Russia and China.

raumdeuter:
Russia and China combined cannot stand the US. Russia has been battling Ukraine for 4yrs and its almost a stalemate. Has China ever fought a war that you saw their abilities?

Its not by having soldiers doing parades like zombies o

BelieVe me, Russia didn't go all out with Ukraine, if they did, it will provoke the anger of the entire world, especially when the war Russia is fighting, isn't even welcomed by most countries. So, the best Russia can do, is play it the way they're playing it.

Fidel Castro didn't outrightly threaten the U.S. He was a commie and a despot. The U.S. tolerates despots. But once you begin to have aspirations beyond your country like Gaddafi (who was more influentially regionally than Castro), you'll be taken out.

There was no need to take out Assad so he remained while he remained.

Iran has attempted to assassinate a POTUS and the Ayatollah had threatened the U.S. with terror attacks in the last two years.

Has either China or Russia threatened the U.S. with violence like Iran did or openly bragged about taking out a POTUS?

That's why they are biggest military in the world.

Do you know the CIA budget request in 2025 is almost the same as Ghana's $111 billion GDP? The CIA alone. Imagine what the whole of Pentagon has as budget in 2025 alone?

Do you know Pentagon's 2025 budget is almost 4 times our GDP? There are budgets for shadow organisations too not captured.

Man, pray we never have a government which is stupîd enough to threaten the U.S. no matter they do.

You day Fidel Castrol didn't outrightly threaten the U.S? What exactly is the Cuban Missile Crisis about? If that's not a threat, I don't know what it is.

Remember Gaddafi wasn't directly taken out? The U.S use propaganda and insiders to kill Gaddafi. Too bad, he never saw it coming and allowed himself to be killed.

I have know love for Iran or it's leaders, I'd say they all had it coming, both Ayatollah and that Ahmadenijad fellow. If you want to play with the U.S, you have to use your brains. Take that North Korean fat boy for example, dude provokes, yet the U.S never responds, probably because there's no insider to use against him, and I know just how big the U.S defense budget is.

I hope the newly appointed supreme leader is very safe and sound

He should come outside and give speech first.

Everybody on that regime now knows there are all kinds of rats there feeding intel directly to Jerusalem.

They won't forget that the head of Hamas was blown up in a Government guest house in Tehran. They won't forget how Israel was castrating Hezbollah commanders with exploding walkie talkies. They won't forget that the head of Hezbollah was kpaid when he was having a meeting with his top dons.

Now they know that Israel knew exactly when the Supreme Leader was having meeting with all his top dons, and they came and gave him his size.

This isn't the type where you can come and say I'm the top dawg in Iran now, you can't reach me blah blah, cos mehn the council that appointed you as the guy might all be snitches.

The title of Supreme Leader might as well be renamed Supreme Corpse.

Just collect the title and come outside first. Your loyal fans are waiting for you.

Stating the obvious. It's not a bomber sha. I'm only correcting you on the classification. Many fighters can perform multirole duties.

China can have more aircrafts just like more naval ships but the question is will there be more effective and multipurpose like the F-35 and F-22 raptor? You said earlier that as the US is making their hypersonic missiles china will advance to the next stage so as they are producing en masse the US is taking their birds a notch higher my guy. E get why countries dey rush those jets.

Which one is can they be more effective? F-35 that hasn't fought a near peer adversary?
That's how people like you were mouthing off how invincible the French Rafale fighters were until small Pakistan wey no get level humbled them last year with J-10C.

One of the main reasons US weapons has popularity is because of its pact with the EU. Those ones can't produce many heavy military equipment on their own, so they rely on uncle Sam to do it for them. Also, another major and probably the most important decider is because US likes to sanction countries for using Chinese or Russian weaponry. So countries who don't want that smoke or lack the leverage to just play it safe and go for platforms that comes with lesser problems. Hence, US fighters/ weaponry are more popular because of the EU and it's Asian puppets like Korea and Japan etc.
I'll just assume you don't understand how geopolitics play in weapons purchase.

No be the same USA wey dey cry several weeks ago about Algeria purchasing the Russian SU-57 5th gen fighter? Dem don dey knack am sanctions.


True, USA is ahead already in fifth generation fighter aircraft race, being the pioneers. But presently in the next race to fielding 6th gen fighters, China is already ahead with them already testing not one but TWO aircrafts, to the awe of the West. The J-36 and J-50 says hi to the next era of air superiority; while the USA F-47 6th gen fighter jet is still stuck in PowerPoint slide.

I'll give the USA credit with the B-21 Raider, although much specifics isn't known about it yet, since it's still new.

Country wey dey grow economically to hope to depose the US as the number one economic power won't waste money on bases and regions outside their own na so they don't tear ACL. It's not that they don't want to they currently can't. There's also the language barrier though I don't see that as much of an issue like the others. That's why we keep referring you to the Pentagon defence budget to show say no be play these guys dey run the matter.

In case you don't know, China has overseas bases too. Not just up to US numbers and just a few.

USA has over 200 years long history of colonizing and external aggression against other countries.
Not the same with China.
This is not about whether China has the capacity or not. The largest holders of US debt is China. They're not just that interested in world military domination unless it concerns their region.
And in the future China would become more assertive about it's overseas interests as it's economic power and military continues to grow. For now..... they're more about shrinking US power in the Asian Pacific.

So, I don't even think you know just how much money China has at their disposal. The same China that the West are crying about foreign loans to other countries labelling them unsustainable. The same people wey dey cry about Chinese subsidy in billions of dollars.

China had a trade surplus vs the entire world with a $1.2tn trade surplus in 2025 despite Trump's antics to spoil that revenue pull. That's larger than even the Pentagon's budget. So all this talk wey you talk so, I no sure say you Sabi the economics.

One thing many average people seem to be missing about the world's geopolitics; it's all about LOCATION/REGION.

Look at the map and see the location of the World's powers. Look at the UNSC five permanent members — US, Russia, China, France, UK. Look at their regions. The USA basically has no enemies or strong powerful country that could challenge them close to its borders.

So, USA has the luxury of fomenting trouble in other regions and going scot free because their location is largely peaceful. Canada and Mexico na basically outskirts states to the USA. No threats. When you no get issue at home, e easy to dey form world police. Abi you people no dey hear of Nigerian history and the interventions in Liberia and Sierra Leone? Why can't Nigeria do it frequently now when trouble is brewing everywhere, even tho we are the regional power. They just did minimal deployment in Benin coup attempt because it was a matter of our existence.

We left the Nigeriens, Burkina Faso and co with their shenanigans because, you dey deal with Boko Haram and military dey shout about inadequate equipment, shey na him you wan dey reason ECOWAS expedition for faraway land stretching your military thin and your budget.

Funny thing is not that Nigeria can't do these interventions. Some things just deserve logic.

The point I'm getting to is that this is the reason China or Russia can't attempt what the USA is currently doing. China has someone like India that's also a powerful nation as a neighbour, there's also Russia to the North that although they're allies isn't one to be trusted 100%. You still have to deal with an imperial Japan to the South. I'm not even talking about the other smaller nations in the South China Sea like the Philippines, Vietnam etc. Russia has similar problems. Same as UK and France in Europe.

So, if you're the one, you're telling me your main issue will be trying to police someone in West Africa how he should run his government or economy? Let's be logical here.

You think if not for Iran and the rogue Arabs you think Israel won't cross the Mediterranean and start fights with Turkey? It's because of its regional security it is/should focus in it's domain of influence instead of stretching itself thin.

The same USA that raised hell when USSR fielded some weaponry in Cuba? They know the problems with a strong neighbour who's also an adversary.

All this thing na logic and necessity. It's not about who has the biggest D_

You're absolutely right about Moscow & Beijing providing Iran coordinate & targeting. E follow for many things US is doing for Ukraine. Time to pay back in kind because what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

US fired 12 tomahawk cruise missiles in Sokoto, 4 out of the 12 did not explode. This is in a setting where there's no Electronic warfare system/jamming interference. Make he go jam head for wall. US is living in past glory.
