Right. Which is the opposite lesson to take away from this. As not only does America have one of the only active militaries in the world, they occupied Afghanistan for 20 years. And now those troops are available for other locations.

Inversely, it also shows that you can not hold a land against someone's will.

A former Australian PM, Bob Hawke, once said Australians will need to get used to being part of ASIA whether we liked it or not. Not sure he had in mind Australia as a Chinese slave colony but.

War between organized, state militaries is the US military's bread and butter.

Ya, rag tag partisan guerrillas can hand it to us, but does anyone even remember the Iraqi Republican Guard?

The Taiwanese aren't as hardline about No China as the west would like to think. Of course they're going to play up for US support and loiter in the edge. And China can't make any plans to do fuck all with the level of insanity running the Whitehouse and NATO. If I were China I'd shut my mouth and lay low for a while.

Oh that's probably true. Since Beijing Xiden is in charge now. ((Or whoever is controlling him))

50 years ago Ho Chi Min labeled America the "PAPER TIGER". He was onto something.
