I think it’s worth viewing that purely in terms of their ability to wage a ground war. Their air and sea capability is still at max potential so I’m really not sure whether it means that much.
Every war game US ran in South China sea they lost decisively, so whatever their max potential is it’s not enough for them to win. Of course, US being an insane country we can never rule out them going nuclear.
I’m pretty confident that most of the existing generals are people who genuinely do not want a war, they know what it will mean and they know how bad things will turn out for basically everyone. Can’t say the same for the politicians though. I think the generals will resist a war but I do not know to what extent they might be willing to nor what that might trigger inside the military if they just outright refuse.
Yeah, the military is a lot more clear headed than US politicians. Unfortunately, I expect they will follow orders as long as they recognize the legitimacy of the regime.
Meanwhile, US is running out of stocks having sent a ton of its exist stocks to run a proxy war.
