Lol, the Chinese with no Air Force , no navy, no artillery and no missile forces , forced the US army to run back, slipping on their own shit, from the Yalu river to the 39th parallel.
The US army is number one in the world but don’t be so dismissive of other forces.
Fighting across your border is a force multiplier against a defending army 1000s miles from its own.
Now imagine that same Chinese army with its admittedly inferior (but not Iraqi levels), massive artillery support and extensive missile forces. Along with navy vessels intercepting routes etc against US forces, in their own backyard.
Frankly, I don’t see how the Americans could win. At least in the agreed upon flash points of North Korea, Taiwan and the South China Sea.
I think at best, they’ll try to exact a high price and an honourable defeat at the first instance so that the Chinese don’t overstep their bounds and go for all three.
Furthermore, I think one may be given up or semi given up to appeasement, one lost in armed conflict and the third will be let go by China for later, to lay back n lick it’s wounds enjoy it’s victory, build public opinion and lay grounds for the future. Let the West keep face, so to speak, for now.
