First of all, you're not taking military strength into account, let's assume for a second that all of china fights the us' 2 million military, now... how the fuck are 1.5 billion people going to make it here to fight?

You have to mobilize all those people... our submarines would wipe out 80% of their ships, and there isn't enough fuel and planes to fly 1.5 billion people here...

Not being a dick, but please don't make fun of someone's post if you're is so easy to pick apart as well

I was talking about china and russia together, because in the post I quoted the guy was talking about "taking care of" those two counties, but relax Im not an anti-american, I rather see USA rule then china or russia or iran or iraq....etc..

Where is Rambo 3 when you need him?

All Im trying to say is don't underestimate countries (military) that you know so little about, its ridiculous.
