When US operators don't have a huge air superiority advantage, they usually just fold lmao.

    Destroying your oponent isn't winnning a war. We can brake shit. We can drop more nukes. However, we don't realy have the logistical lower to pick an objective and do it.

    Consider china, we are never going to do a grownd war with them. But if we tried, we wouldn't be a le to get even a quarter of our sfuff there. And hhen there it wouldn't work half as well. We could burn it all down at the cost of most our stuff. Couldn't proper call it a voctory even though we'd be thr last ones standing. It be the opposite of ww2. Where we won by really not getting onvovled and looting the corpses of the combatents.

      The big lesson of WW2 is that you don't need to control territory in order to establish a global economic hegemony. Breaking the opposition's industrial base is sufficient to consolidate power within your own.

      We don't want to do an open war with China, but we absolutely do want to cut off their industrial capacity and chain them to our supply routes. So we cut deals with Australia and we foment revolts in Xinjiang and we destabilize the border with India. All in the hope that China's gangbusters growth will lag long enough for our own economy to finally get its shit together after a 40 year Volcker-Shock induced development lag.
