The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

They have 5500 nuclear warheads and some very advanced delivery systems that they continue to roll out. The latest is the Burevestnik, a low-flying nuclear-powered hypersonic missile with a global range that can loiter in place for days. They're getting so far ahead of the Americans in missile tech that the gap is generational.
To make matters worse, China, in response to Trump's economic war, has stopped selling processed rare earth minerals to the US for military use, and the Chinese control 85-90 percent of the world's processed rare earth minerals. They can actually shut down the US MIC. It's hard to believe the Trump 'braintrust' apparently didn't consider this before embarking on an economic war with China, but there you have it.
I imagine all their advanced technology has dollarama quality plastic seams along the sides and shit doesn't fit quite right.
2 Chinese navy patrol boats were chasing a Flip fishing boat around the South China Sea the other day and ran into each other just like the lexus's and Mercedes's in the Youhan center parking lot after gorging on deep fried chicken knees in the food zoo
Russia and China are planning a two pronged war event against the states. China will make like Japan at Pearl Harbour by coming in after Russia and the States start nuking each other. It will put the final coffin in the US of A.
Putin and China will divide up control of North America.

They'll fail. Combined they are no match in a conventional combat scenario against the US Navy alone.
The Russians are pathetic and the Chinese are completely untested and would probably suffer horrible losses trying to figure shit out
Have you seen their drone technology? It’s some serious AI ninja if you ask me.

The Americans won't be able to transport troops to the continent the way they did in WW2. The transport ship will all be sunk during the crossing.
If they were somehow allowed to make the crossing, they are used to fighting guys with Kalashnikovs in turbans and pajamas. They are an expiditionary force.

The Russians are light-years ahead of the Americans in missile technology as well; the US has old 90s era shit. They still don't have hypersonic weapons, and the Russians are rolling out the second generation.
The Americans do have a vastly superior satellite early warning system, though. That's a big advantage in the US' favor..

Experts say the U.S. and China are the only countries that have developed new-generation hypersonic missiles — but neither have used them in battle. Other nations such as Russia, North Korea and Pakistan have tested or used missiles with similar but less sophisticated technology.
So who knows.....

That article is completely fact-free, Mëds. Russia has already deployed the Zircon, the Kinzhal, and the Oreshnik in the Ukraine conflict. The Americans Dark Eagle is still in the testiing phase, after several failures.
Hypersonic Missiles Are Game-Changers, and America Doesn’t Have Them
The U.S. military is pouring resources into the superfast weapons but has struggled to develop them. China and Russia are far ahead.
Ole Putin, is cocky for a reason, they have the arsenal, he ain’t scared. He’s almost mocking the world - “go ahead, try me”
Meantime, Trump is trying to make America great again with outdated weaponry from the George C. Patton era and lame military parades that are so bad and uneventful even Kim Jong Un was laughing.

Yeah, that parade was disgraceful, lol. And Trump has declared economic war on the whole planet at the same time this is going on, too, including China and the BRICS partners.
The plan seems to be to burden the Europeans with the cost of Ukraine, while 'pivoting to China' and preparing another proxy army for war against the Chinese. They are geniuses when it comes to bamboozling countries into doing their bidding, but where will they get the weapons to outfit the Taiwanese? The cupboards are pretty bare after adventures in Ukraine and Iran. Especially with China not being completely braindead and shutting off access to the processed rare earth minerals and magnets they need for so much of their defense industry, not to mention their automotive and high tech industries. The idiocy of all this is enough to take your breath away.
'Help us defeat you by stopping to buy Russian oil so we can pivot and make war against you. And do continue to sell us those processed rare earths we need to manufacture our weapons. And, by the way, here's 500 percent tariffs against your exports just for good measure...'
I was just looking at the list of people Putin is bringing with him to the talks in Alaska. There are no military staff, just financial and investment advisors. We can then assume that the talks will not center on Ukraine, they will mostly concern investment, trade, and diplomatic issues.
