A female U.S. congresswoman recently asked Secretary of State Rubio directly, “Would America win if it fought with China now?” and Rubio’s response was interesting, saying the United States is still the strongest, but it’s too terrible to fight with China.
Looking at the military data on the booklet alone, the United States does hold a good handful. 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers travel around the world ocean, including the Ford class also equipped with electromagnetic launcher; the F-35 fighter has been listed 420 aircraft, the sea and air troops can be used; the overseas military base has also secretly mashed 374, claiming that "24 hours can travel around the world".
First of all, the “hard guys” who watched the crazy people depended on “soft support”, the U.S. Army Cyber Command held 133 cyber mission forces, and in 2023 went to 17 countries to “hunt forward”, feeling able to take the battlefield information right.
But in their own minds, China's cyber border defense and military space forces have long followed, the Ministry of Defense has clearly said to "build national cyber border defense", and the space forces are also engaged in crisis management.
If the satellites in space are interfered, the aircraft carrier can not find the target, the missiles are not directed, and advanced warplanes can also become "blind."
Even more devastating is the fact that the U.S. military even ammunition and microelectronics supply chains have fallen off the chain, 37% of nuclear submarines are stationed in ports and other repairs, and key parts have to rely on foreign imports.
Besides, the "regional refusal" on China's side is not a slogan. Although it does not specify the specific weapon parameters, the US military's own report always mentions the threat of "Dongfeng Express."
To know, the U.S. Navy Army intended to move 140 F-35Cs to the aircraft carrier, is to avoid the distance to launch an attack, but this is exactly exposed.
Not to mention that China's cyber forces can keep an eye on the US military's supply chain. Once the supply of key chips is cut off, those high-tech equipment will become a pile of expensive scrap metal.
Rubio said it was "scary", but what he was afraid of was this kind of "you hit you, I hit mine" approach. The global deployment, which the US military is good at, has become a logistical burden in the Western Pacific.
The attitude of the allies made the United States even more alarmed, and the United States and South Korea just issued a joint statement, which was criticized by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs for "interference in domestic affairs", and scared Japan to hurry to reconcile.
Wang Yi said early that "borrowing Taiwan Province to make trouble is to find trouble for Japan", which poked Japan's weakness. Its energy transportation lines depend entirely on the Western Pacific, and it will be the first to be affected in a real fight.
European allies not to mention, the defense industry itself is still reliant on American technology, not thinking about Asia-Pacific affairs at all. The US military wants to pull the allies, the result is that everyone is counting their own small debt, really to fight is probably "America strike, allies surround", this solitary wicked battle how to fight?
Most importantly, the modern war is at the bottom of the industrial house, the United States has long been empty.The defense industry is supported by five giants such as Lockheed Martin, and more than ten thousand subcontractors are drowned on the side, and the supply chain is fragile like thin paper.
China alone accounts for 90% of the world's total in rare earth processing. The US military's precision-guided weapons and stealth fighters are inseparable from rare earths. If a war of attrition is really launched, the United States will have no way to expand production.
Rare-earth refineries have been built for several years, and the cost of alternative materials has increased by 30%, but the performance has decreased, and this account is a loss.
Therefore, Rubio's answer sounded like pretending to be confused: calling "America is the strongest" is to put up a facade for fear of shaking the confidence of allies; saying "too terrible" is the true meaning and calculates the cost of conflict.
Those aircraft carriers look frightening, can meet China's regional rejection system, solid industrial base, coupled with the negative attitude of allies, has long been without the inevitable bottom.
To put it bluntly, the "strength" of the US military is on paper, while the "horror" of war is real. If you can't win, you will have to lose all your money. Who wants to do this kind of business? This is not a question of whether you can win, it is clearly a question of whether you dare to gamble.
