"As for the US Air Force, it has more modern fighters than the rest of the world put together and would squash the RuAF like a bug."

Are we talking Ukraine or China?
(I'm guessing Ukraine)
If in Ukraine, they would take a hell of a lot of losses trying to take out Russian integrated air defence and also losses from manpads;
- And they would still have to commit ground forces.
They would probably need to close every military base around the planet that they have just to round up enough troops to do the job, as well as do a draft, and none of those troops have combat experience.

If in China (against China)
- Not without fuel they don't.

You don't think China will target every single facility capable of refueling from South Korea to the Darwin if necessary?
- You can bet they will.

One more thing, you said 'illegal invasion'
China invading Taiwan - it's unclear if that would even be illegal.
The US government itself even recognises that Taiwan is an inseparable part of China.
- And you all want our boys to die for this flimsy cause?

The fact of the matter is that if the US doesn't meddle, China has no reason to invade anyway
- The same damn argument that held true for Ukraine.

Zelensky campaigned on a platform of peace.

Misery in Ukraine as deadly conflict drives civilians from homes
http://edition.cnn.com/2014/09/02/world/europe/ukraine-crisis/index.html
September 2, 2014

>>Alexander Omelyavenko, a Donetsk resident, told CNN, “We are Ukrainian but they kill us, so we probably need our own country. Because these people in Kiev, they are not brothers for us.”

The husband of a 34-year-old woman killed outside a block of flats last Wednesday wouldn’t talk to CNN, saying he was in shock. He made it down to the cellar with their small child but she simply didn’t have time. A 50-year-old woman was killed with his wife.

Donetsk, once-thriving, is now half-empty, shop fronts shattered and its railway station bombed.
Its trauma hospital is filled with the civilian wounded who were unable to reach safety in time as the shells rained down.
Medical teams treat market traders with shrapnel embedded in their legs or the broken limbs of pensioners too old or sick to run.

Valentina Popova, in the ward next door, has lost her leg and her arm to indiscriminate artillery shells.

“We used to dance, sing, do everything in Ukrainian. Poroshenko, Mr. Poroshenko – please listen to us. Why don’t you understand your people? Be a man. Be human. Please stop your aggression. Stop this war.”

“Washington and Brussels need to ask Kiev authorities to stop shelling the houses, schools, hospitals and so on because you leave militia with no choice but to stand up to protect their people,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.

It cited a Luhansk morgue doctor as saying explosive weapons have killed more than 300 civilians in the city since May.
HRW researchers spoke to more than a dozen people who had witnessed artillery, mortar or rocket attacks in civilian areas.

“Many of the attacks appeared to be indiscriminate, in that they did not or could not distinguish between civilians and combatants,”
“Indiscriminate attacks violate international humanitarian law, or the laws of war.”<<

Baldrick, you are becoming incoherent and just talking drivel.

If China blockades Taiwan with Subs, the US can just as effectively blockade mainland China with Subs.

The RuAF has lost 90 fixed-wing planes since the start of their illegal war only 60 from enemy action, the rest have crashed all by themselves. As for their air defence, that's not even working well against the Ukrainians.

The Russians are running out of tanks, APVs, air defences, ammunition and men. The Ukrainians are using cluster weapons to deadly effect and the Russian "meat wave" attacks are just littering the fields with rotting Russians.

Even in the battle of attrition, the Russians are losing this war.

The sinking feeling is yours charter boat
I think it's almost about time for you to give it up
The writings on the wall even Ukrainian MPs admit not winning.

It's time to take off the blinkers and change your violin strings;
Not only is Ukraine LOSING this war, the war is LOST.

“Since the start of the year, more than 335,000 people have entered military service under contract and in volunteer formations,” Shoigu said. “In September alone, more than 50,000 citizens signed contracts.”

http://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/09/29/7422028/
"Journalists from the Russian service of the BBC and Mediazona have discovered that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the war in Ukraine, at least 33,236 Russian soldiers have died, of which 3836 have been mobilized."

You can keep flogging that horse until it's dead SM;

But if you keep saying 'Russia is losing this war'
You're just going to look more and more like an idiot.
It's time for a reality check mate, it's ok to be wrong.

Just out of curiosity,
How many people here strongly believe the USA and allies can beat China, Russia, Iran and North Korea all it once, on their home territory?
