You are replying to a series of comments about NATO not being able to field an actual war against Russia.
if NATO decides to field a war against russia with the war assets they spend trillions on such as hundreds of f22, almost a thousand f35, a hundred nuclear submarines and all the shit they have like the most advanced cyberwarfare weapons in the world, how does russia respond?
Can you please explain how a list of countries with the highest military expenditures is evidence that weapons used by the US aren’t bought/produced for a ridiculous markup?
Again just look at the evidence:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_B-2_Spirit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_F-22_Raptor
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_aircraft_carriers_of_the_United_States_Navy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_submarines_of_the_United_States_Navy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XKeyscore
These are just some random USA war assets, in case you fail to understand what spending a trillion dollars a year in war gets you.
No, not “next to,” at this point China has surpassed the US and Europe in manufacturing in all but a few specialized fields.
few specialized fields like war tech and industry which is what we are talking about.
Secondly, saying that NATO can’t field war against Russia doesn’t mean that NATO can’t try, or that Russia would single-handedly destroy all of NATO. Russia would win like Vietnam won against the US, by NATO failing to accomplish their goals without nuclear war.
Vietnam war was 60 years ago and nukes are older than that. War has evolved, USA wouldn't need a single nuke to destroy russia they are already doing it with propaganda and the leverage they have on markets.
Way ahead in missiles.
and behind everything else that is relevant in 2025
US still has crap that Ukraine has no use for. New generations test poorly.
They are giving ukraine crap the same way russia is using crap to fight this war

Don't assume and look at the evidence:

Chinese industry is some of the most advanced on the planet.
Yes next to america and europe. Your original claim i'm reply to is that "NATO can’t field an actual war against Russia".
If you want we can compare NATO and russia/china combined and see who has the strongest army and biggest war capabilities.
NATO doesn't arm its soldiers with trashcans though
How many of these china has? Speculated further development of fighters that aren't operative yet is a better metric to compare war power than US outclassing any other country in military spending for decades?
USA pretty much defeated russia in the cold war and they are slowly finishing them as you can see today.
