That's exactly my point, military math, military economics, raw industrial power and strategy.
Not geeking out on the shiniest toys.

@Lionsmane8 and very unnecessary. We can talk all we want about superiority of hardware / strategy / experience etc It's all totally subjective.
Most military watchers are 'gear heads'. They drone on and on about this and that gen tech. They furiously rub their little cocks while looking at stealth bombers and drones and missiles.
None of this matters. You can have the highest tech military in the world, and still lose because you have forgotten about the economics of war. The US military has 'overshot' on tech. They have created systems that are just too costly. The entire US military system is too costly. It is why they lost in Vietnam.
The Ukraine war is good evidence of this problem. The Russian military budget is about $75bn p.a. The US military budget is more than 10x that. Clearly, Russia is not spending all of their military budget on Ukraine (neither is the US) but if you add up what Russia is actually spending, and then compare that to the combined spending of Ukraine and all the western allies 'pledges, support, donations' (high interest loans), its fairly plain to see that the west is outspending Russia by about 7 to 1. For a stalemate.
This is why Russia is content to play the long game. They can go on as long as they like, the west cannot. The US is running out of money, the Europeans are running out of political capital, the Ukraine is literally running out of able bodies men, and Russia is doing just fine.
In the end, you have to be able to wage war economically. The west does not have that skill.

That's just the thing - China is so much of a threat that western leaders are not even allowed to say they are a threat. That's how much of a threat China is.
I find this projects Western ambitions and behaviors onto China. Also, remember how Biden stuck his foot in his addled mouth and called Xi a dictator right after that San Francisco junket. The way they cleaned up SF streets for Xi but not for its own sake says more about USA stupidity than China might/threat.
As Col. MacGregor states, China doesn't want to go to war with other nations, they want to do business, and war is bad for that. Sure, they may become a trading partner akin to dating a manipulative BPD chick, but that's not the same as being a warmonger nation.

True, I can make a whole list of why the Russian military is the best military of the moment (includes also their top brass, leadership, strategic thinkers, military schools, combat experience, discipline, military industrial complex, logistics and victories achieved), but that would be very lengthy.

This is what I'm saying, they see all the validation and it distorts their perceptions beyond belief. Even if they don't meet a single guy in there they have tasted extreme distortion of their value
Also per the fat women there are a ton of guys that swipe right on everything and then unmatch uggos and fatties later. I've watched friends do it, a lot of these hundreds of likes is swipe right, unmatch later mofos

@Lionsmane8 The thing that you have to remember is the bang for bucks.
If you add up what the west is spending on this proxy war, the west is outspending Russia by a factor of about 7 to 1.
So...American is essentially 7 times what Russia is spending....to NOT win a war. That has to be significant.

@polishknight that photo of the BLM 'protesters' doesn't prove anything. It's a very small number of retards (mostly fat ugly white women that fantasise about black cock, but aren't getting any) just lying down. Could be as few as 60.
Compare that to what is happening in the UK and USA. We're actually destroying our country to prove how much we hate evil white culture.
It's chalk and cheese.

@Vermillion-Rx one of the issues is this....
As soon as woman goes on OLD (or any social media, tbh, they work the same way) if she is not fat or pig ugly, she will get swamped in likes, clicks and DMs.
Honestly, have a what it is like as an OK looking young woman online. It's a wall of thirsty simps, thousands of them, telling her that she is 'amazing'. It's actually more than they can deal with, its just overwhelming.
This is the origin story of entitlement and their 'demands'. They will list crazy demands in order to try and cut down the overwhelming tsunami of contact from thirsty dudes. It's not possible to drink for a fire hydrant - they are trying to use demands to cut the flow down to a manageable flow.
The mistake these women make is that they see hundreds of likes, swipes and clicks and they start thinking that they are special. They confuse thirst with guys wanting to LTR them. We don't. We just want to smash and dash.

@Vermillion-Rx That's just the thing - China is so much of a threat that western leaders are not even allowed to say they are a threat. That's how much of a threat China is.
The very fact that they are engaging in a proxy war with Russia reveals how little of a threat the west estimates Russia to be (they are wrong, but anyhow).
Just look at the obsequious snivelling that went on when Xi visited San Francisco recently. The leader of the 'free world' prostrating himself and bootlicking before the all powerful Xi. Not humiliation was too great for Biden, including a very barbed snub to the long suffering residents of California - by clearing away all the human garbage on the streets that Xi would be driven down, he was pointedly saying
"I will clean the streets of dreck (drug addicts, street prostitutes, homeless beggars and the assortment of needles and human shit) for a foreign dictator, whom I hold in the highest regard, but I'm not interested in doing it for voters, whom I hold in the utmost contempt."
The west only attacks or fights people that are no threat whatsoever. A few rag tag camel fuckers wearing sandals in the desert with 50 year old small arms? LETS ROLL!
A modern army with nuclear power threatening peace and obliterating democracy where it goes? Let's roll out the red carpet.
