Do you envy the might of the US navy in your country?

this year houthis btfod your navy in red sea

>>213578981 (OP)
no our navy is stronger

>>213578981 (OP)
I do pity countries without a navy (esp those without aircraft carriers).

>>213579521
by what metric kike

>>213579626
His navy includes the Israeli Navy + US Navy so he's correct.

What does it do? Seems like a huge waste of $300B. It's clearly not for defense since there isn't a navy that can physically reach American shores, neither does it do much in helping the US project power (US power projection is done through land military bases with the army/airforce)

>>213579755
nope, it is projection
for example the escort fighters for the b2 mission into iran was sortied from a carrier in the gulf

>>213579755
Controls world trade lanes

>>213579953
He's right, that's pretty fucking useless since nothing could hit those B2s anyway.

>>213580146
The fighters can engage enemy fighters

>>213579562
rampcel

>>213579996
Explain what that means

>>213580224
Can be deployed from a land military base. No navy needed

>>213580224
The only country with fighters that could engage them is China, and America already showed it's too pussy to start a war with them because it knows the PRC would dominate.

>>213578981 (OP)
The USN is powerful but the Jap Navy is the kinoest. Always had been since the Russo-Anime war.

>>213579521
Which navy? Your two corvettes, two modern subs and a handful of missile boats?
I think even our navy outperforms it.

>>213578981 (OP)
Russia
No, we'd wipe the floor with mutts at this point

>>213581346
Bait doesn't get more low grade than this. The Russian navy has been a joke for the past 100-200 years. Do we need to be reminded of the absolute joke of a state the Moskva was in before it was sunk?

>>213578981 (OP)
>will be at the bottom of the SCS at some point this decade

>>213579996
Houthis already dispelled that myth

>>213580725
China will never go to war because
a) peace is too profitable
b) they have lost every single war against a foreign power in their entire history
It's a pointless line of thinking

>>213582129
>they have lost every single war against a foreign power in their entire history
that's not true

>>213580725
china wont dominate shit. their equipment is always one step behind usa and their training is the old bug people style where you only follow order never think or react by yourself. they dont shoot unless ordered to do so.

>>213579626
>>213581257
They can have us show up on your doorstep with a few phone calls

>>213582283
>their training is the old bug people style where you only follow order never think or react by yourself. they dont shoot unless ordered to do so.
This is every low level grunt in every military ever doe. That's the whole point of training, to turn dudes into pawns. You actually don't want individual soldiers making decisions by themselves.

>>213582341
grunts yeah shure, but china still train fighter pilots this way. the radar and daralink capabilites on modern jets are there so they can have full situational awarness and cut out the middle man to tell them whats going on and what to do.
even on grunt level most modern militaries have changed their doctrine from
>protect this bridge, make shure no enemy cross it
>enemy cross somewhere else...
to
>make shure no enemy cross this river, use all means available
thoose are quite different even if they still only follow orders.

>>213582341
Aren't NCOs supposed to be good independent thinkers that

>>213580475
Retard

>>213579433
did they do anything but blow up 30 year old prop drones

>>213581455
seethe harder troon lol

>>213583007
Did the navy do anything but have their drones get blown up?

An army that can't even win a war against a fucked up poor country like Afhganistan. American navy is pathetic.

>>213583537
yeah they destroyed a ton of houthi hardware and killed a hundred of them

>>213578981 (OP)
The US has never won a war, why bother having a navy?

>>213582129
>b) they have lost every single war against a foreign power in their entire history
So in your diseased mind an entity spanning thousands of kilometers and housing literaly a billion of souls is completely natural and poped in just like that, with no conquest involved whatsoever, they all gathered around and decided to become one colossal blob?

>>213583640
Wow, 100??? What's that break down to, $300 million per confirmed kill?

>>213581346
The Russian military has been halted by a fraction of the US GDP they would get rolled at an actual war against us.
>>213583587
>>213583762
Navies are what make great powers great. Lackluster infantry performance doesn't really matter if we have the capability to raid your coasts and bomb you from 50 miles offshore.

>>213583938
1. shifting evaluative standards
2. naval bombardment has done over a billion dollars in damage to houthi infrastructure per the houthis themselves
3. the value of global trade preserved far exceeds operating costs

>>213584301
>2. naval bombardment has done over a billion dollars in damage to houthi infrastructure per the houthis themselves
Are you aware that the GDP of Yemen, which Houthis don't even control fully, is only $21bln? You would need to drop a nuclear bomb to cause that damage
