In case of war, America’s military reputation will be done for. Although the Americans will outnumber whatever the Europeans put on the ground 10:1, American equipment is barely better than Chinese weaponry, and as such the Europeans will likely inflict heavy losses on American forces, especially through submarine warfare. Reminder that during the 2015 exercises, a single Rubis-class submarine sank US carrier USS Roosevelt plus a bunch of its escorts and escaped without being detected. American tech is subpar. This isn’t Venezuela, rice farmers or goat fuckers.
