We're lucky. We're learning Russian

You know what I have to say to China? Come at us bro, we'll be waiting behind our fleet of stealth bombers, fighters, attack subs, aircraft carriers, and god forbid that ugly as sin Zumwalt destroyer cruiser thing. If you make it past all that you still have to get past our fully equipped military. If they make the dumb mistake of invading our shores they will have plenty of angry, armed to the teeth civilians to contend with. So come on China, invade us, I dare you.

But they have tunnels to avoid most of that from what I hear.

I actually think the zumwalt looks cool in a retro ironclad kinda way.

As far as an invasion, contrary to the many scenarios in games like COD, its impossible. An invasion across the pacific would be a very short and very disastrous folly, ESPECIALLY against the #1 military in the world (No offense).

They'd not only have to contend with and defeat the largest, most well-trained and powerful navy in the world, but would then have to muster the astronomical logistical capacity to attack the mainland where they'd also have to contend with the largest, most well-equipped and most experienced army, air force, and marine corps in the world.

Ironically, the biggest threat to this country is an all out cyber war.

I can't see them ever considering armed action but financial pressure on the global markets...now that could well be another matter.
