Predict the next major conflict the U.S. will be in

[Shuckins]

The accusation that the U.S. government master-minded the 9/11 attack is the most stupendously irrational, vile, contemptible bit of nonsense ever concocted by the mind of a political fanatic.

technology doesn't win wars, numbers do.

 I think you missed the point. Its not whether the US can win a conventional ground war with China. Can the US politically withstand mass casualties. Experience since world war 2 says no. Much would depend on how the war was started. What is the support level in the US by the populace? Is their widespread support?

Way too many variables to reduce it to a single 1-paragraph post on this forum, imo.

It really isn't a matter of whether the US is fighting for survival or not. It's a matter of whether the population think they are fighting for survival or not.

huh?

When your mothers brothers aunts and uncles are all fighting or dead, its something most people would know at that point.
Rape, pillage, plunder, fire, slaughter.

You know, all those obvious things war brings.

What you are bringing up as an example is a obvious case. What I brought up is different from that. You'll figure it out sooner or later.
