Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Russia, because every time you crack a Russian defence fortification it turns out there is another, smaller one inside

Russia can't even win against Ukraine.

I have some bad news for you about the current condition and borders of Ukraine

Overextend, turn your enemy into insurgents, attempt to kill every one ~~over ten~~ of the "military aged males", cause a global financial crisis, as a million people die due to your shit pandemic handling pull-out

The US is worse than Ukraine. They send their vassals to death without a second thought but with an inevitable betrayal. Yet if they ever fought a war in their own land for once, they'd quickly lose the will and ability to fight.

china. wasn't there a war game simulation run by the US military against hypothetical chinese military where they literally had to change the rules because the US kept losing or something?

I thought that was Iran, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were more 💀

The war games were mostly against China. But some of them included Russia and Iran as secondary allies.

This was the only one I definitely know of where they had to change the rules to get a victory, lmao. Embarrassing stuff.

ahh yeah that was classic and it really speaks to the state of the US military

they can't fathom that there's any possibility that they could lose a war, especially against more primitive methods of communication and attack. However, they haven't actually won any wars that involved an adversary who had the ability to fight back at all

Given their track record, any guerilla military force with a few assault rifles, apparently.

The honest answer is China, but I would hope the US crumbles from within before it ever comes to that. While I have no doubt that the US would be crushed, I also have no doubt that the loss of life (nevermind the environmental fallout) would set humanity back decades. That's assuming the US didn't resort to nuclear weapons as a last gasp.
