There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

Simple answer? There is not a single army or military in the world that stands a chance against the United States in active conflict that doesn't just nuke us. I'm not prideful or boasting but nobody has the tanks, anti mine armored vehicles, planes, aircraft carriers, or airplanes that we do. Hell Russia doesn't even really have tanks anymore. We could easily decimate them in a war without nukes. It would be all air superiority, drones, and naval bombardment. We would cut off their supplies to the Kremlin and flatten any cities that showed even slight troop buildup. It would be genocide.
China is a joke. Just because of the size of their men, and the laughably cheap gear they give them. It would be like fighting against women and children. Look up their new rifles, even in promo videos for these shit ass rifles they keyhole bullets (bullets shoot out of the barrel and tumble rather then fly with the point facing forward) meaning they couldn't pierce body armor due to their surface area upon impact.
Chinese military is a joke. Russian military is a joke. Americans are laughing.
If nukes were out of the pictures, I think it would take about two months for a single carrier strike group in the black sea to mop up this entire Ukraine war. Maybe two carrier groups.
Some people might disagree with you. I think those people haven't seen hellfire missiles.
Please link a video to this Chinese gun keyholing.
I've seen American military people saying on that on Reddit, and it turns out their source always just some other guy in the US military that said so. They seem completely unaware that telling troops the enemy's gear sucks is a morale boosting tactic as old as time.
Ok... here.

All I did was Google: Chinese gun keyhole. It's literally the first result and this is one of the videos I've seen before about this. There are others. It's really not hard to see for yourself. That is a clip from CCP run propaganda BTW. This is video made and submitted by the chineese government.
One thing that the US does really well compared to others is supply management. You can't fight and win a war without having a good supply team behind it.
