They have the technology, the numbers and, most importantly, the nuclear forces to match whatever we could bring to bear in their part of the globe. It's funny, because they don't feel like it's necessary to spend the resources to "project power" into the western hemisphere, but if you want to "project power" into their region, you are facing bigger problems than you used to. Just google DF-21 to see how big the problems for the post-WWII US forces..mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057701313718589322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537045684820674531.post-6880116456091690522015-01-08T02:25:18.689-08:002015-01-08T02:25:18.689-08:00"peer competitors"
And who, exactly, ar..."peer competitors"<br /><br />And who, exactly, are those anymore?<br /><br />The lesson of Vietnam and Korea, as you well know, is that asymmetrical warfare is bad for the Big Boy.

It probably has some value in contested airs...Yeah. It probably has some value in contested airspace over a modern adversary equipped with modern ant-aircraft defenses. But we don't seem to go to war with peer competitors. We much prefer fighting the Vietnams, the Grenadas, the Panamas, the Afghanistans and the Iraqs than the big boys.<br /><br />Of course, we still end up losing, but that's really only because we let idiots make the decisions...mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057701313718589322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537045684820674531.post-60897720545781399702015-01-05T00:27:34.209-08:002015-01-05T00:27:34.209-08:00I revise that;" in a world where most states ...I revise that;" in a world where most states and militaries are able to counter it"zombie rotten mcdonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601960953323752278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537045684820674531.post-69924807572488488942015-01-05T00:26:33.938-08:002015-01-05T00:26:33.938-08:00I think it's a good question. And I think, ev...I think it's a good question. And I think, even though I have little knowledge on it, it does seem to me that the huge cost of providing stealth tech in a world where no other military power is able to equal it or counter it, is pointless, except for the cool factor.<br /><br />Of course, in a modern Industrial-Military complex dominated country, stealth tech becomes a given, and reducing investment based on a more rational approach toward designing military tech that saves cost by reducing complexity through tossing stealth crap over the side is something that won't happen. Too many vendors in too many states.<br />zombie rotten mcdonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601960953323752278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537045684820674531.post-44025710774955803792014-12-31T19:10:15.531-08:002014-12-31T19:10:15.531-08:00Maybe?
