Can America and Japan Take Down the Chinese Military Together?

Two points: (1) Japan has not been a major military power in decades, and (2) our 'woke' military would be a severe handicap to any Japanese defense efforts...

We could at least ram the Chinese container ships.

We have a 4-star Navy admiral that would make the Chinese die laughing.

I beg to differ with your assessment of Japan's military prowess. Japan is ranked either number four or number five among the worlds militaries.

For 2021, Japan is ranked 5 of 140 out of the countries considered for the annual GFP review. https://www.globalfirepower.com/country-military-strength-detail.php?country_id=japan

4) Japan
Budget: $41.6 billion
Active frontline personnel: 247,173
Tanks: 678
Total aircraft: 1,613
Submarines: 16

In absolute terms, the Japanese military is relatively small. Nonetheless, the country is extremely well equipped.

According to Credit Suisse, it has the fourth largest submarine fleet in the list. Japan also has four aircraft carriers, although these vessels are only equipped with helicopter fleets.

Japan also has the fourth largest attack helicopter fleet behind China, Russia, and the US."

I do agree with your judgement of the debauched, woke US military leadership and the Perfumed Princesses of the Pentagon.

The elephant in the room with article's argument is not talking about India. I doubt that India would stay out of a war between America and China because if American gets knocked out of the way then India is next.
