China is a real and a potent threat to the USA. China now has WMD of all types and its military is now modernized and still going through rapid changes of modernization.

Go and read what happened during the Korean War of 1950 to 1953 when American forces came face to face with the Chinese PLA. Then China had no WMD and their military was still relatively rag tag but they managed to fight the US military to stalemate on the Korean peninsular.

The greatest mistake anyone can make is to under estimate your enemy, especially one like China that has a massive military backed by technology together with thousands of years of proven battle tactics.

I strongly believe that the USA and China should not be adversaries but rather wary friends who understand and respect each other.

But maybe I am living in a fools paradise.

India will cut em to size, the average Indian will fight for India without being coerced unlike the Chinese, just like Russia, China got lots of internal issues spread across regions
Hong Kong Macai and other regions have internal wrangling with the Central government, they are only sticking to communism for now cause of the present leader
China need give more freedom to her citizens for a greater China or they will crumble

Yes, but the data will not be as accurate as flying directly over the target country,especially over the sensitive assets themselves.

I think China is just being troublesome with this balloon. It's probably a harmless balloon used to gather weather information but allowing it to cross US airspace and stay there for days was a deliberate attempt to find trouble.
I hope people that are claiming Biden is weak are aware that during the tenure of their macho man trump, China sent a balloon 3 times into US airspace without retaliation and this news was hidden from the public?

Well, USA navy fleets have been entering Taiwan water which according to same USA, Taiwan is part of China, meaning USA fleets have been violating Chinese water.
So, both are to be blame joor, me I will be watching from afar

Yes, shift the blame to the Afghan people. It's a behaviour characteristic of the US.
What I said is factual.
They always look for something to blame and take away attention from their own incompetence and failures.

so, who should be blamed for the Taliban taking over Kabul just 3 days after the US military left? Maybe its US citizens. Maybe you expect US citizens to fly to kabul to defend the country against the Taliban.

Since what you said was factual, why not give us links or reports where the Taliban won actual battles against the US military.

So, the US military is all-knowing and always right. And we must agree that they are Omniscient and can never be wrong.

What evidence do they have that the balloon was deployed by the Chinese?

Why would the Chinese have to deploy a balloon when they have high-resolution satellites that can give them images of the US mainland?

The US has one of the most heavily-monitored airspace in the world so how come they didn't detect something as massive as this balloon before it entered their airspace? A commercial airliner is usually around 34k feet in length and flies at around 60k ft but when it's up in the sky it looks very tiny. This balloon is flying at 90k ft and is easily visible which means it must've been massive.



You guys should learn to think critically before believing anything the media throws at you. The US has always been doing their best to demonize China, and they seem to be doing a darn good job at it
The Chinese admitted that it belongs to then but you want to deny it for them. Well done.

China has satellite orbiting the earth. The balloon cannot get better information than the satellite hence, it was left alone since

Sometimes I am forced to question you guys reasoning.

If China holds the same view as the one you touted, they would have attacked Taiwan. US says if China attacks Taiwan, they will have them to deal with, and the chinese chicken out.

You dont tell the US what to do. Remember when China says Pelosi should not come to Taiwan, thats when she visited. Remember when Russia says provision of longer range weapon will be an escalation, that was when the US provided HIMARS.

If table turns and China tells the US not to attack Taiwan, that is when the US will call their bluff and attack it./

Actually the fraction of the USA 🇺🇸 Pacific Fleet close to China 🇨🇳 border would horribly loose in a major confrontation with China 🇨🇳 ONLY when you include the USA's 🇺🇸 total Naval capability then they're superior to any other Navy as the USA 🇺🇸 have a total tonnage of over 4 million tonnes of aircraft carriers, warships,destroyers, submarines, littoral class ships,etc compared to total tonnage of China's 🇨🇳 Navy's 1.9 million tonnes of aircraft carriers,cruisers, destroyers, frigates,corvettes, submarines,etc

Agree with all you’ve said. Most of these armchair generals have never heard of the Pacific Fleet and if they did, they wouldn’t make the silly claims that they do. Imagine small ships defeating a Battle Group.

If you weren't dumb, you would have known that both scenarios are not the same. How does the US having a military base in another sovereign country that willingly accepted to host the US military base the same as China allowing it's ballon to encroach on US airspace?
