“No offense, but you have to be really stupid to think that technology is evenly distributed when a substantial chunk of the fleet still in use was built in WW2.”
No offense, but you still have to be really stupid to think that any national maritime in the world even remotely compares to the U.S. Navy. We have 9 (10?) carrier groups. The next closest nations have 1.
Our might is projected around the globe like no other. U.S. naval technology is till the best in the world. We have the best and the most....it’s a mismatch regardless of how you try to spin it.
“Not to mention we have Russian bombers and subs off our coasts all the time.
I have no interest in being “fair” to regimes that execute rape victims, queers and Christians, blow up Jewish centers in Argentina, and put out hit requests on dissident authors and send scouts out to case NY City tunnels and bridges.”
Well, we have our subs “off their coast all the time” too. What are you suggesting? That a Russia versus U.S. naval conflict isn’t a complete mismatch? Let me clue you in...it is...in our favor.
Does your “fairness” to other regimes involve endless intervention and military conflict? That recipe was what got the last Republic president (and subsequent nominees) !@#$-canned in the general election. Donald Trump isn’t running on that kind of interventionism.
