"in your opinion"...the opinion of an american is moot.
the us isnt the most pwerful country. ok, they have the most advanced technology in the world. but that technology isnt geared for the new age of war, geurilla warfare. and they havent realised that. their troops arent well trained, contrary to popular belief. china's army is waaaay better trained. they start training for the army when theyre like 6 yrs old.
the US is geared toward head on, all out fighting. and if wars were like that anymore, the US would pwn. but guess what? they arent. every war since WWII that the US has got involved in, theyve gotten their asses kicked. and..whats this? apparently they werent wars..hm.
vietnam -
status: ass kicked
war? no, we didnt invade them. is was..a small conflict
now..iraq -
status: ass kicked
war? it was, for the first two weeks, now we're just liberating it...peacefully ofc
the most powerful nations in the world (from an apparently better educated point of view..factoring in income, location in relation to fighting style, and allies, as well as military strength..because i, unlike americans, know that power isnt through military alone)
china
saudi arabia
iraq
iran
US
china - everyone is afraid to touch them and their allies, even the US, which is why iran hasnt been invaded
saudi arabia - oil, oil, oil. strong allies. why do you think the US hasnt invaded them? they have waaaay more oil than iraq. you know why? theyre scared. saudi arabia is one of the richest countries in the world, and houses the richest people in the world. and they have some of the strongest allies in the world
iraq - location in relation to fighting style. iraq is the perfect place to fight a geurilla war, which is exactly what theyre doing. how can you fight a war when your trying to liberate a town and half of the normal cheering townspeople will pull out an ak47 and shoot you in the back of the head once youve past?
iran - same as iraq, but with more powerful allies
US - yes, they are really powerful. they could whoop any of their allies' asses. the US could probably take on most of europe, russia, africa, and canada, and win. but the problem is, they cant win against their enemies. they cant fight geurilla wars, plain and simple. and their troops arent motivated enough to win. iraqis are willing to die for what they believe, but the US troops dont even know why theyre there
k?
