In a war of attrition, assuming one-for-one trade in combat where both sides wipe each other out, the question becomes "What do have that you can float NOW"?
China is geared for a wartime industry. Thanks to the planet-hugging left driving our train for decades, we have little industry left to convert to a wartime footing if we wanted to. On other words, it's not a matter of winning the first round. It's what can you bring to Round 2?
Even Europe, given it's wishy-washy US partner, has had to face reality and start gearing up. Face it, it depends on which flake is President anymore and which way the wind is blowing if anyone gets our support beyond lip service. Or, as current events show, a dimwit trying to play on both sides of a war.
The situation is ridiculous. We need to start looking out for ourselves and not in the stupidity of isolationism which at best can delay the inevitable. Our best defense is to arm our forward defenses/allied countries to the teeth. Something Americans with their ostrich mindset aren't even considering is the next war is come HERE. It isn't going to be like prior WWs where we were isolated by distance. Our internal defenses are pathetic at best and/or our infrastructure is basically unguarded.
There's going to be a lot of crying when the damn breaks. We don't have anywhere near the domestic social services to handle a bunch of spoiled rotten brat refugees with zero survival skills. Like we demand Israel provide Gaza. But it'll be "different" when it's us
