War games are stringently regulated and based on real world doctrine of countries involved and is basically placing two of your best teams of strategists to use the doctrine available to win. It's not simply a game like the name suggests
@@bobchannell3553 Yea and now that China has rallied all Americans to counter them, the budget will sky rocket. China will be taken out and the U.S. will continue to be the world's only superpower. What's the problem?
@@christopherperkins8948 Yea, I know how it works. I think the Asia society also played like 24 games and the U.S. won almost all of them. The point of these "games" is to make it more difficult than it would normally be in order to see if they can find weaknesses in their own strategy.
@@deebil8099 Exactly like for instance in a war game they might field the full 2 million armed forces of china but in the real world they might only be able to field closer to 1-1.5 million troops since they would still need to defend their borders and such while supplies, transportation and so on might also be a factor that limits the amount that can be put on the field from the start.
As someone working in IT as programmer and knowing the "Shipping minimum viable product" agile methodology in the business I would llike to say that finding those bugs in the field and fixing them later will mean bodybags.
Tell me a time where the economy was great before a great war 😂😂😂??? You don't know history nothing has change at all . We are just repeating it and China cannot and will not beat USA do more research and fact searching
It doesn't, when the government opens a bid for a piece of military equipment, the capability requirements of the resulting equipment are extensive and numerous in order to ensure that when they get shipped the minimum viable product it's still mission capable. Overengineering increases up front costs and malfunction rate. The deaths happen when equipment is used outside of its scope or lifespan, including enemy ingenuity. It's very similar actually to how strategists simulate war by giving the enemy every benefit of the doubt while obeying Murphey's law on your own. The military industrial complex is hyper efficient. Stuff that doesn't work doesn't get or stops being produced, and defense contractors still want to win the next in line contract. To botch a contract would be the end of that company

@@Alexander-vo4gv”The U.S. government is terrified of Chinese military equipment,” yeah I doubt that given that several pieces of Chinese military equipment were copied from U.S. tech.
This explains why countries like china are catching up fast. Monopolized military manufacturing contracts seems to be the core of the problem as they have no compition.

I think one huge issue that's being overlooked when it comes to defense is our food and water infrastructure. The US should be investing heavily in hydroponics/aquaponics to make food production and distribution more efficient in cost, space, and water usage. Hydroponics systems can even help purify water for drinking. Many people are so worried about the capabality to destroy our enemies that they are overlooking the ability to sustain ourselves in a conflict. If China really can give as good as they get, and we have a prolonged fight...we have a problem...because the average American is not physically fit, educated, and ready to take up new tasks, like manufacturing replacement components and entire new vehicles. Our populace radically shifted production during WW2. They grew a lot of their own food because farmers went to fight. Could we do that now?
I think food production is the last of our worries. It seems like you like hydroponics (I do too!) but it isn’t relevant here. I think it’s pretty easy to see our industrial capacity and materials sourcing is the biggest issue. Farms are fairly automated for things like potatoes, grain, corn, carrots, etc
China has 500-600 Nuclear warheads. The USA has 1,500+. I dare say, most of the rest of their military equipment is much inferior to America’s. China ain’t close to being able to give as good as it gets! As far as our population I refer you back to FDR’s speech. America easily became the arsenal of Democracy. We can do that again!
America entered WWII in 1941 after Pearl Harbor and that speech by FDR about being the "Arsenal of Democracies" was actually delivered on December 29th 1940 ( a year prior to joining the war). Love your videos and keep making them, but please check your references ;)
He said we were attacked and entered the war less than a year after giving the speech. But he did say it took place in 1944 to start so I can see the confusion

I love this idea and something similar should be implemented for our physical monetary system too as it's too risky to allow CBDC's. I liked everything but dont think the US nuclear arsenal using floppy discs was covered fairly, the reason they've kept it that way is due to the unhackable nature of the barely computerized systems and because the reliability is still there. I think that's why anyway!
Cool fact! When people found out that you can be spied on by your internet router (look it up) I thought this could easily be fixed by using ethernet. Simular to this concept! Haha! Also the CIA in the Tom Cruz movie switched over to type writers because of the AI problem in the movie lol.
What a lot of these younger engineers do is overdigitalize and overengineer everything. The art of analog has been diminishing over time. If you have a problem, add a ucontroller/processor and that will solve it right? I believe that one of the Russians' strengths is their analog game. This of course extends into EM warfare.
I love how the new defense company Anduril is named after a sword in Lord of the Rings "Anduril Flame of the West", whoever came up with that name deserves a raise
I heard the company culture sucks though. So there’s that. Also, they make very very small things and some software. They are never gonna make tanks, jets etc… that actually need regulation and aren’t quickly built. We hate red tape but it exists for a very good reason a lot of the times. Would anyone want the FAA abolished?
Having brilliant ideas, even complete solutions is easy when compared to having a full control and mastery of industrial supply chain. Modern big weapons are incredibly complex, and not having an abundance of domestic suppliers is a fatal weakness, especially when your adversary is catching up quick and not friendly.
Edward Snowden also said it was US propaganda when the US warned of a Russia invasion of Ukraine. They can keep their little Kremlin spokesperson. If he wants to spread Kremlin lies then he can live in the country he likes so much.

I don't always agree with John Coogan, but I love his videos, he's incredible. Thank you for the videos, I watch everything you put out. Having grown up mostly in the latter half of the 1990's I can certainly say it truly did feel like wars were something of the past. After 9/11 wars broke out so effortlessly.
China's major advantage over the U.S is a well functioning meritocracy, a government dominated by highly qualified doctors, scientists and engineers who can plan decades into the future without worrying about elections every 4 years. China's rise has also proven to the world that peace, cooperation and trade is far more sustainable and profitable than the U.S's never ending war and world domination policies.
Boy are you confused. Many Chinese military leaders are promoted because of connections. And to be successful you MUST belong to the Party. China is one of the last countries to depend on meritocracy! Read a book, comrade, that isn’t red!
China’s economy is currently in free fall and as the “better” country it STILL hasn’t eclipsed the USA. And don’t forget Rule #1: China lies about everything!
The war in Ukraine whilst being a brutal, almost medieval slaughter fest fought out in muddy trenches is also a window on the use of drone and surveillance technology to good effect. There is so much to be understood and learned from this.
@@mypersonalstuff-cy7gi Putin invaded Ukraine chasing defectors, he claims they speak Russian and they belong to him. It's good that we defend Ukraine. And now the Russian people won't follow a dictator blindly, they are awakened from their slumber of obedience and fear.
To some degree. But a war with China would be *nothing like* the war in Ukraine. It wouldn't be fought by armies and boost on the ground, but by navies and air forces.
There's no need for a war with China, they are our allies more than England or Germany. China arrests human traffickers, drug dealers, rapists and just don't understand the system of due process, but it's not taught in their culture. Don't provoke China to align with our enemies for no reason. China is attempting to take our country and be our leader, but they don't want to destroy us. There's a difference. We will push them back as always and keep moving forward.
They keep repeating that we don’t have any hypersonic missiles and that is untrue. The United States has had hypersonic missiles since the 1940s. What do you think the V2 missiles were?
The thought frequently crossed my mind that America military is something of a Goliath, to be paralyzed by a cyber attack analogous to how iraq was immobilized from day 1, by destroying its soviet made airborne defense command centre.
There is no organization (be it governmental, military, or private hacker collective) that has cyber capabilities that come anywhere close to what the US federal government has. If a real and/or cyber war breaks out, the opposition will be absolutely neutralized before they can even lob any kind of offensive strike at US assets. If anything I've just said doesn't come to fruition (which it will), the opposition will find all of their connections to the outside world physically severed. It's far easier to cut a data cable than it is to detonate a bomb attached to a natural gas pipeline.
@@bunyavissuthisorn5909 There is no popularity for war fever among the American working class. If anything history shows that the American workers have had to be dragged by the ruling class into every war. The bosses had to start Red Scare's before entering World War One and Two. Massive anti Vietnam war protests took place among the young who were asked to fight and die in Vietnam without even the right to vote. Since Vietnam no war has been fought with draftees. The American Workers will have the chance to overthrow capitalist rule before World War three is declared.
The Cyber attack, the reality is we dont know who has the edge, but word on the street is America is very powerful themselves, even so far as using hardware breaches designed for them by American companies who have almost a monopoly on Design, its no wonder a lot of Chinese companies use ARM design because its almost the only non american arquitecture. It was speculated that Russia's hybrid strategy would pave the way for major attacks on European and American Nato countries, that did not happen, why? It is rumoured America has vicious counter attack capabilities, the attack on the Pipeline in the US was probably an attempt to bait a US response before the war in Ukraine, the problem with this weapons is that once you use it its worthless because the enemy will know and fix the vulnerability that is why it's hidden until fixed.
9:03 - "The US doesn't have any hypersonic missiles or any way of intercepting them" WRONG WRONG WRONG! The US has Minuteman III which flies at mach 23 and the navy Trident flies at mach 24. The US Patriot system in Ukraine has been taking down the best that Russia could throw at it repeatedly, including their Kinzhal, which flies over mach 11.
Just more American Imperialist propaganda. The ruling class is losing its marbles as can be seen in the issues that the two capitalist parties fight about. If it thinks it can win another world war by using technology that shows how foolish it has become. McNamara ran computer simulations for Vietnam that showed victory just around the corner as predicted by kill ratios and body counts .

On the back of my head, I've always wondered if someone is investigated how china is influencing our politics through large lobbying groups to slow down the US process with over regulations in key sectors such(DOD/military/Energy..etc). China knows well the US has the necessary talent to get ahead, however, if they can starve the growth through the regulations....
I am a geopolitical analyst whose main focus is sino (Chinese) - US/western relations. Believe me when I tell you that this goes on at scale. And has been all but perfected, with much emphasis placed on efficiency (results per dollar/resource spent). And this technique is but one of countless others aggressively persued by intelligence and active measures implementing wings of the PLA and CCP at large.
CCP is watching U😂 btw I’m Chinese born and raised in China , studying in US and Ireland and have to tell u these Chinese are the most intelligent people I’ve ever seen. I’m literally a loser in China being mocked for yrs that’s why have to go overseas for studying. Idk if China is powerful enough but it’s not weak anymore
This video is absolutely clickbait and doing a great deal to spread fear. Just because it is not easy to shoot down hypersonic missles doesnt mean that its not possible. Same with nuclear ICBM. I would not bet the United States out on that. We spend a ton of money on this stuff and are not as foolish as John Coogan thinks. The reality is that the United States allowed the Chinese economy to grow by outsourcing its labor. Now that is shifting and is doing so quiet drasical. What will happen when millions upon millions of chinese are unemployed and start to think about the way their government works? The United States is far from perfect, but "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" will always prevail
China installed more robots in the last 12 month alone than total number of robots in the US, more than half of the planets robots are already in China and that percentage is growing rapidly. It's not China that has to worry about labour, its you who should quickly figure out how to compete with the country that owns more robots than you have workers.
I find the idea of Anduril flawed in many ways (and the company has an FTX feel to me, for some reason): First, using 'build minimal product and iterate fast' approach doesn't work with big projects like aircraft carriers or planes. These things cost billions to build even in mass production. And running complete analysis and simulation before trying is clearly more efficient. Second, 'giving the company a lot of money without a contract to make read stuff' leaves a big potential for fraud. Third, the company assumes that it can predict the need of future warfare better than the Department of Defense, which has decades of experience. I think this is highly unlikely. Finally, this company is positioning itself 'alongside' existing defense contractors, meaning it's asking additional money in a time when US economy is stuck between hyperinflation and recession. The US just doesn't have money to throw in a pit now.
I think that is fine. As John says they are not supposed to be the saviors, only a template. It is just like how, where Theranos failed, others were able to succeed. Abbott has developed a portable blood testing device called the Alinity. Roche has developed a portable blood testing device called the cobas Liat. DiaDexus has developed a blood testing technology called the Dexcom G6. Other than those, there are a number of other startups that are developing blood testing technologies everywhere. So this is something that can be easily replicated, if we find a cheaper sustainable way of building this things.
Money is not a real resource. The simple truth is culturally historically and factually Chinas military culture is near tribal warfare combined with some littoral piracy. The only time in modern history China has had a unity allows for a more developed military culture is the 70 plus years since its rescue that included a free world trade access provided by USA. Suppose the Military culture catches up or has even surpassed western systems. China still has to keep control of its own population in ways the west does not ideally have to. This alone is so precarious ultimate physical power balanced with controlled population is a mini war in itself.
This is never ending game, as many have said military secrets are most fleeting there are no real secrets not for long anyways. Now working at try create peace that a game that will make you a real hero.
The US Navy will retire the guided missile cruisers with no replacement planned. The US Navy also has a gap with zero frigates. The industrial military complex is getting rich and the country is not getting value for the money spent.
this is a genuine fear I’ve been having that I don’t think I share with a lot of people. China is stepping up their game and with the internal issues the US have been dealing with, I don’t even know if we’ll win against our adversaries, especially China. Our way of living will change. America has made a lot of enemies around the globe. It’s genuinely scary.
@@General_MacArthur idk maybe look at how their economy and military tech is pretty behind overall. And they also literally get by just from stealing tech from the states/nato so I wouldn’t necessarily call them that overpowered.
What a simplistic approach in tackling the problem. People like McNamara won’t embark into consolidation of weaponry manufacturers without reasons. Funds available R&D, time, financial and brainpower resources etc are just some of the issues.
First time watching you. Your narrative leaves much to desire to learn. You jump around making outlandish statements about federal procurement processes,technology growth,intellectual property needing to be shared & or bought. My family has been in federal military contracting both in supplying services, and a bit of innovation. The competition is fierce❗️❗️ Procurement officers gather prospective companies and individuals from private commercial sectors worldwide to accomplish their directives. You sir, need to read a few hundred pages on federal procurement methodologies.
Biden: We are not capable hitting with moving objects except stationary undersea pipeline. Xi : I know that, because we moved undersea mountains to collide with your submarine.
Ok…. So in a war situation how does china actually function when 80% of it’s energy inputs are not coming through because the largest navy in the world is not allowing it?
Well, do you think China not having any oil it can explore? It has 5.4 years of oil reserve just to keep itself going without any import and it also has Russia in the north that can export oil to it. With gas it has 22 years of gas and it also has not tap into the largest reserve of shale gas. Can the largest navy stop Russia exporting oil to China? No.
google "CPEC". china has been thinking about this problem for decades and has already implemented a solution. they could also just sink all surface ships america has with their massive stockpile of missiles
War games are designed to steel-man the enemy and make them nearly perfect actors on the battlefield, that's about the only way you can improve your forces. It's hard to take this video seriously when that was the opening statement.
Why does it seem that nobody understands war games?!?!? The US is MEANT to lose, otherwise there is no use of war games, the US plays at a disadvantage every single time. If the US played at it's regular power, there is no learning. As the old adage goes, the more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in battle
I follow and agree with almost all of these observations. However, I think it would useful to talk about the effectiveness of DARPA. After all, they seem to have made many useful innovations in advanced technology for the military.
China would not beat USA. Only USA can beat USA. Case in point Vietnam. By much metric it's not an easy fight for the America. But America can fight more, if they wanted to. Thing is, they won't.
Bla Bla Bla .... so where is the Ace up the Sleeve? What a lot of experts cannot or do not want to accept is that All Empires do not last for ever, just look at history. The US is already in the 3rd and final phase known as Decline, and it is just a matter of time for China to become the number one military super power. Videos like this one simply project a wishful thinking vision. It is so hard for Westerners to swallow their pride and to admit that the US and NATO have thrown the best they have at Russia and have not been able to accomplish anything, in fact, Russia is winning the war.
I don’t agree with this video. I’m a black female founder so getting access to funding and customers (even Government customers) is exponentially harder for me then it would be for some dude who can spend $10mil of his own money to develop products for the DoD and then sell to them, but there are other avenues that you failed to discuss in your video such as SBIR/STTR or simply registering in SAM. The true issue is that most Tech companies don’t want to sell to the government - A. The public sector offers an unlimited opportunity at capitalism B. In most cases it’s not lucrative to sell to Uncle Sam + there’s a perceived moral objection within the Tech community.
Someone will end up prospering more, somehow, either by selfishness or pure coincidence. The reason doesn't matter. It will then be the start of conflict and distrust once again
Implementing Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing and Nuclear Fusion on designing future weapons is the key. With ai we can predict and engage enemies autonomously from across the sea. It can also detect and prevent cyber attacks thus decreasing the time and effort to address the problem. Quantum Computing can help simulate real life war scenarios thus making us more prepared and cautious. It can boost the use of machine learning and mathematical equations impossible to calculate with our current technology. Nuclear fusion will be able to power an entire fleet of ships and drones. It can support ships and submarines for longer durations and can be used to power up innovative weapons such as lasers.
I'd bet the US has had advanced AI for at least a decade now. Particularly when you consider that almost the entire Internet reports to them, they have like the biggest big data available.
My biggest problem with the video that was never mentioned was about how defense spending surely did fall 15% ON PAPER. But did the black budget get taken into account? Notice how we always have a spending deficit of about Trillion since 2008?
Most of that deficit isn't military spending, despite our overly bloated military budget. It is social security, welfare, bailouts, incentive programs, and medicare. The real black budget is bureaucratic incompetence.
Defense is not a business like the others. Defense companies can't sell their products to the everybody and their mother. Japan would love buying F22 fighters and B2 bombers. This would be great for uncle Sam, because it would bring costs down. But it's far too sensitive tech, even if it's 20-30 years old. Only 'mericas best friends are allowed to buy heavily downgraded econo-boxes... like the F35... maybe... I wonder how Ikea and Meme-Stock-Startups would deal with his handicap applied
F-22 can be bought by Canada, only country US offered F-22 to in 2008, but Canada really doesn't need it so it declined. When Bush was asked why only Canada, he said because F-22s will be in Alaska.

@@chunchun-maru The USA didn't lose any of those conflicts. They kicked ass, had the most kills, made the most gains, then left when the mission was incomplete due to a variety of factors, none of them military. Weak try :)
@@chunchun-maru I think you need to take a deeper dive into those wars. South Korea is a place that exists and remains a strong ally of the US to this day. The United States military was vastly superior to NVA and Viet Cong military forces. The kill ratio of American and Allied forces compared to NVA and Veit Cong forces was about 3:1. If you only look at American casualties compared to NVA and Veit Cong casualties, the ratio grows even larger. The US bombed North Vietnam into a peace treaty before pulling troops out of the country. Only when the US had withdrawn from Vietnam did the North violate the treaty and conquer the South. It's clear that in an all out war between the two nations, what the outcome would have been. In what way did the US lose to Afghanistan? The United States occupied Afghanistan for 20 years. 20 YEARS! The same Afghanistan that is considered to be a contributing factor to the fall of the Soviet Union by the way.
@catmandu6776 and we didn't even fight Afghanistan. We bombed the taliban until they hid in caves for 19 more years and helped train the Afghan army on how to fight the taliban until we just gave up and left
USA needed that kick in the ass because it got too relaxed. But it’s ok. We know what to do. We adapt really quick to any sort of challenges and come out only stronger.
Actually you don't know what to do, since USA only knows to build weapons and military bases, which are useless against china's strategy which is economic and diplomatic. China is building ports, roads, rails, power plants, factories, schools etc, while USA is building miltary bases which do address or counter chinas strategy at all. Even if usa wakes up and tries to compete with china in building and economics, USA will still lose since China is the world leader in infrastructure construction and china's pockets are much deeper than usas since USA is wasting it all on weapons and wars. Even if USA wasn't wasting all it's money on wars and weapons, USA still cannot compete vs china in building around the world. no one can. So like this video says, USA has already lost. It's too late to beat china in anything except war. And in war USA will also lose big time even if it wins vs china like in Taiwan. After such a war both china and USA will lose, Russia and others will overtake both USA and china since both countries will be destroyed, including their militaries. USA can do nothing except slow china's rise down, but in the end china will still overtake usa with 4.5x usas population and smarter education system and students in general. Most Americans know nothing about the world or China.

Ask yourself what materials are the command and service modules of the lunar landers and re-entry vehicles of ICBMs made of. Making hypersonic missiles with the right materials nullifies any kind of heat damage they may suffer in operation.

China's equipment and soldiers have never been in war so they aren't battle tested. They have no idea how they will react under the pressure and stress of war. American troops and equipment are tried, true, and tested. Our citizens are under way more constant violence than the average Chinese citizen and our citizens have more knowledge on how to operate weapons. Don't underestimate this. I've seen icy steel people crack in the heat of battle.

Our challenge is that the workers of Silicon Valley don't think America is a country worth fighting for. Google had a revolt with its employees over a partnership with the Pentagon, but those same employees have no problem supporting China. Do you think the people at Meta, Apple, or any other tech company will work with the defense industry? I don't. All you have to do is LISTEN to what those employees say when asked about this or what they think about America. Our best bet is to partner with countries that have a strong tech sector that already works with defense, like Israel.
My concern too, I’m think perhaps there’s a chance with Tesla but nearly all of the high innovations in the country are backing the wrong horse and don’t have the same values to align themselves to be loyal to the US. Maybe of them don’t have the understanding that the Marxist ideology never works out, for anyone.
The same model was adopted as far as manufacturing is concerned in all industries. Add one feature to a product every year and call it a different name.
I'm glad to see more silicon valley folks speak up against this. Having military and defense become a politicalized topic is very bad news for the future of our country. I know many bright tech folks who are completely against anything related to the military or defense.
Solutions : 1) Reduce barriers for startups to enter and rebuild real defence industry by introducing competition. 2) Invest in new tech and capabilities. 3) R&D should be top priority. 4) Integrate modern tech into military. 5) Reintroduce the capacity to test new ideas as fast as possible. 6) Create Cyber Department and fund it properly. 7) Introduce capabilities specific to china. Just as they built hypersonic missiles with US Carriers in mind, we can and must build Laser defence systems which will render their missiles useless. 8) Invest heavily into emerging and vital future tech such as AI, Laser and other DEWs, Hypersonic missiles, Cyber warfare capabilities, next generation aircrafts and ships, etc. 9) Audit the dod and the military. 10) Always keep far future in mind. 11) Increase friendly relations with powerful anti chinese countries such as India. India is ahead of usa in hypersonic missile tech.
I really like your points. Reduce barriers for startups: Encouraging innovation by making it easier for startups to enter the defense industry is a good way to bring in fresh ideas and technologies. Invest in new tech and capabilities: Investing in cutting-edge technologies is essential for maintaining a competitive edge in modern warfare. R&D as a top priority: Prioritizing research and development ensures that a nation's defense capabilities continue to evolve and improve. Integrate modern tech into the military: Ensuring that the military is equipped with the latest technology is crucial for operational effectiveness. Testing new ideas quickly: Rapid prototyping and testing of new concepts is important for staying ahead of adversaries. Create a Cyber Department: Given the growing importance of cyber warfare, having a dedicated department for this is a wise move. Develop capabilities specific to China: Tailoring defense capabilities to address specific threats is a strategic approach. Developing countermeasures for hypersonic missiles and laser defense systems, as you mentioned, is important. Invest in emerging tech: Investing in areas like AI, Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs), Hypersonic missiles, and cyber warfare is essential for future preparedness. Audit the Department of Defense (DoD): Ensuring that defense spending is used efficiently and effectively is critical for any nation's security. Think about the far future: Long-term strategic planning is crucial to anticipate and adapt to future threats. Strengthen international relations: Building strong relationships with other countries, especially those that share concerns about a common adversary like China, can enhance collective security and access to advanced technologies.
America and Americans have a talent for portraying other countries as threats when they are thousands of miles away while simultaneously causing threats right in other countries’ borders. When will the “we’re the good guys” syndrome end?
China are getting assistance from.Russia it would quite probably and Yet the huge military cost to American tax payers not yielding results as it should beb.
Deterrence is effective even at the individual level. In Switzerland all adults are armed with automatic rifles and there is virtually no crime. That is deterrence on an individual level.
@@pedrob3953 Very true. Sale and ownership of firearms, ammunition and the carrying of firearms are heavily regulated. Each off duty soldier may have a military rifle, but they don't keep ammunition for the rifle.

We can’t forget that most countries are on chinas side too. While the US chose to abandon diplomacy China doubled down. Most of African countries are with China and or Russia. We all know how close China and Russia are. More reasons for the US to be worried but not. They are more worried about there billion genders.
The U.S. has the best weaponry not only militarily but in its citizens as well. Bottom line, now if we could only figure out our leadership and elect someone with coherency, strength, and foreign affair skills, our strength may matter. A president who cant walk, talk, or remember who his own family members is a hard platform to sell the world as the number one power.
Thanks. Of course, we all 'know' that capitalism *_always_* fosters diversity, competition, and innovation. Except when it doesn't. My take away is that we need to go back to what we had before Neoliberalism took over completely. Also: nice job. If I'm going to be subjected to infomercials, I do prefer that they at least be somewhat informative. tavi.
And, the bottom line, always missed, China, like other Asian countries, don't use the Western way of war, which makes for over elaborate "tricky" plans, rigid execution, inability to adapt and divided forces. It is why the only countries that can cause truly massive casualties to a Western country is another Western country. Japan, after kinda sorta Westernizing prior to WW2, might have finally gotten the memo, but we will have to see.
but US didn't win in a very small country like Vietnam with their "Western Way" of war. US always the EGO. Don't forget the "Art of War" and where it started.
@@buracksJ Heh, nope the West doesn't always win battles, but if it had been 30+ years earlier, then the US would have almost certainly have won for several reasons. The two points about Western warfare are still 100% valid: 1. The West was in Vietnam and not the reverse. 2. The body count was insanely lopsided which is a major point. Combat losses to US forces in 11 years of fighting equaled the annual US deaths from car accidents. Heck, with a fully trained Western style military and facing more tanks and artillery than the Nazis invaded France with, the South Vietnamese held hard and only fell because the socialists in Congress had refused for several years to fund the treaty obligation on military supplies and denied the US treaty obligation to defend an ally when attacked.
@@kamaeq you said it yourself. your first paragraph, “would have almost”… would have. meaning, they had lost, so no need get in into deep. what’s done is done. no point explaining it, no excuses or deeper analysis could turn back time. America should just face the woke social wars within its country first. Scarier than a real war tbh.
Luckily for democracy loving people, the vast majority of the semiconductor supply chain relies heavily on companies in democratic countries. US, Netherlands, Germany, Taiwan. It might prove difficult for China to compete long term in AI, if they can't get access to the latest semiconductor technology.
China is manufacturing its own semiconductors. Sanctioning doesn't work for China because this will only make them more independent from the rest of the world. China is known for being fast in manufacturing, building, and production. It took the USA 20 years to build a part of a subway line while it took 1 year for China to build a railway that spans across the country.
Another issue is, despite stupid high budgets, defense / public sectors pay like shit compared to private market rate. How can you expect the brightest minds out of schools across the country to do the same job for 30-40% less pay? "Good benefits" don't make up for that, when you're paid well, you can buy your own benefits as needed. That is the real reason, at least in the software sector, the best minds today work on "emojis and search engine optimization" as that one speaker said.

At this point BRICS has more allies who also has resources in their country that America was depending on to keep their country going, now that there's this huge separation with the Allies people that had joined China and Russia have free range to trade with each other in their resources to develop bigger and better product, weapons and this is what happens when you sanctions countries that you need the most. America has driven away a lot of close allies that has resources that they needed to survive or should I say stay on top which I see America is tumbling down to the same level as everyone else. America has been dethroned you no longer the superpower, China is doing the things that America supposed to be doing which is helping others and helping them to develop their country and to have resources that they need to survive. What America has done was destroyed a lot of countries, put them in poverty and now the tables is about to turn.
Well, this is by far the most scary scenario to potentially happen within the next five years. God I truly do hope America comes to it senses and changes how it creates technology, now I can understand the need for AI and perhaps the need to get rid of unecessary bureaucracy and rules regulations holding the defence industry back by paper work and not innovation.
Dude, don't fret too much. This guy left a lot of analysis out of his video. First, all the wargames assumed a Chinese surprise first strike. All of the US's casualties happened because of the first strike. Second, Chinese arms exports are failing at a hilarious rate - none of it seems to work as advertised. If war happens, China is going to get trounced. Also, the US built a new bomber, and the guy didn't adjust inflation when discussing fighter costs. It is not a well-researched video.
You need to know the scale experience redundancy and stupid over stupidity way our military functions. I say functions instead of works. The key advantage is cultural ideals one has an end justifies means with pin point focus and speed. The other has a meandering endeavor driven by human interest, will, and morals to get to a goal. Western ideals lead to branches of ideas that end justifies means type of efforts simply cannot even imagine as an end goal!
Weapons Manufacturing creates jobs for US taxpayers who support their families. America is battling corruption but we are still inspiring other people to fight corruption in their countries too.

War games are stringently regulated and based on real world doctrine of countries involved and is basically placing two of your best teams of strategists to use the doctrine available to win. It's not simply a game like the name suggests
@@bobchannell3553 Yea and now that China has rallied all Americans to counter them, the budget will sky rocket. China will be taken out and the U.S. will continue to be the world's only superpower. What's the problem?
@@christopherperkins8948 Yea, I know how it works. I think the Asia society also played like 24 games and the U.S. won almost all of them. The point of these "games" is to make it more difficult than it would normally be in order to see if they can find weaknesses in their own strategy.
it's called prevention 😁Be thankful that you live in such a great, smart and awesome country
@@deebil8099 Exactly like for instance in a war game they might field the full 2 million armed forces of china but in the real world they might only be able to field closer to 1-1.5 million troops since they would still need to defend their borders and such while supplies, transportation and so on might also be a factor that limits the amount that can be put on the field from the start.
So, the USA has a military budget which is greater than that of China, Russia, France, Britain and Japan combined but it's still not enough?

It doesn't, when the government opens a bid for a piece of military equipment, the capability requirements of the resulting equipment are extensive and numerous in order to ensure that when they get shipped the minimum viable product it's still mission capable. Overengineering increases up front costs and malfunction rate. The deaths happen when equipment is used outside of its scope or lifespan, including enemy ingenuity. It's very similar actually to how strategists simulate war by giving the enemy every benefit of the doubt while obeying Murphey's law on your own. The military industrial complex is hyper efficient. Stuff that doesn't work doesn't get or stops being produced, and defense contractors still want to win the next in line contract. To botch a contract would be the end of that company

I think one huge issue that's being overlooked when it comes to defense is our food and water infrastructure. The US should be investing heavily in hydroponics/aquaponics to make food production and distribution more efficient in cost, space, and water usage. Hydroponics systems can even help purify water for drinking. Many people are so worried about the capabality to destroy our enemies that they are overlooking the ability to sustain ourselves in a conflict. If China really can give as good as they get, and we have a prolonged fight...we have a problem...because the average American is not physically fit, educated, and ready to take up new tasks, like manufacturing replacement components and entire new vehicles. Our populace radically shifted production during WW2. They grew a lot of their own food because farmers went to fight. Could we do that now?
You have far too much faith in china, ill say that much.
I think food production is the last of our worries. It seems like you like hydroponics (I do too!) but it isn’t relevant here. I think it’s pretty easy to see our industrial capacity and materials sourcing is the biggest issue. Farms are fairly automated for things like potatoes, grain, corn, carrots, etc
Hydroponics and aquaponics are not as efficient as traditional farming, so no.
China has 500-600 Nuclear warheads. The USA has 1,500+. I dare say, most of the rest of their military equipment is much inferior to America’s. China ain’t close to being able to give as good as it gets! As far as our population I refer you back to FDR’s speech. America easily became the arsenal of Democracy. We can do that again!
America entered WWII in 1941 after Pearl Harbor and that speech by FDR about being the "Arsenal of Democracies" was actually delivered on December 29th 1940 ( a year prior to joining the war). Love your videos and keep making them, but please check your references ;)
Yeah.... history isn't young people's strong suit. That's why it repeats its self.

China's major advantage over the U.S is a well functioning meritocracy, a government dominated by highly qualified doctors, scientists and engineers who can plan decades into the future without worrying about elections every 4 years.
China's rise has also proven to the world that peace, cooperation and trade is far more sustainable and profitable than the U.S's never ending war and world domination policies.
Boy are you confused. Many Chinese military leaders are promoted because of connections. And to be successful you MUST belong to the Party. China is one of the last countries to depend on meritocracy! Read a book, comrade, that isn’t red!

To some degree. But a war with China would be *nothing like* the war in Ukraine. It wouldn't be fought by armies and boost on the ground, but by navies and air forces.
There's no need for a war with China, they are our allies more than England or Germany. China arrests human traffickers, drug dealers, rapists and just don't understand the system of due process, but it's not taught in their culture. Don't provoke China to align with our enemies for no reason. China is attempting to take our country and be our leader, but they don't want to destroy us. There's a difference.

The thought frequently crossed my mind that America military is something of a Goliath, to be paralyzed by a cyber attack analogous to how iraq was immobilized from day 1, by destroying its soviet made airborne defense command centre.

There is no organization (be it governmental, military, or private hacker collective) that has cyber capabilities that come anywhere close to what the US federal government has. If a real and/or cyber war breaks out, the opposition will be absolutely neutralized before they can even lob any kind of offensive strike at US assets. If anything I've just said doesn't come to fruition (which it will), the opposition will find all of their connections to the outside world physically severed. It's far easier to cut a data cable than it is to detonate a bomb attached to a natural gas pipeline.
@@bunyavissuthisorn5909 There is no popularity for war fever among the American working class. If anything history shows that the American workers have had to be dragged by the ruling class into every war. The bosses had to start Red Scare's before entering World War One and Two. Massive anti Vietnam war protests took place among the young who were asked to fight and die in Vietnam without even the right to vote. Since Vietnam no war has been fought with draftees. The American Workers will have the chance to overthrow capitalist rule before World War three is declared.
The Cyber attack, the reality is we dont know who has the edge, but word on the street is America is very powerful themselves, even so far as using hardware breaches designed for them by American companies who have almost a monopoly on Design, its no wonder a lot of Chinese companies use ARM design because its almost the only non american arquitecture. It was speculated that Russia's hybrid strategy would pave the way for major attacks on European and American Nato countries, that did not happen, why? It is rumoured America has vicious counter attack capabilities, the attack on the Pipeline in the US was probably an attempt to bait a US response before the war in Ukraine, the problem with this weapons is that once you use it its worthless because the enemy will know and fix the vulnerability that is why it's hidden until fixed.
Don't believe it, the US is far advanced over the other two.

This video is absolutely clickbait and doing a great deal to spread fear. Just because it is not easy to shoot down hypersonic missles doesnt mean that its not possible. Same with nuclear ICBM. I would not bet the United States out on that. We spend a ton of money on this stuff and are not as foolish as John Coogan thinks. The reality is that the United States allowed the Chinese economy to grow by outsourcing its labor. Now that is shifting and is doing so quiet drasical. What will happen when millions upon millions of chinese are unemployed and start to think about the way their government works? The United States is far from perfect, but "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" will always prevail
Allowed China to grow...
That arrogance is the reason we need multipolarity
China installed more robots in the last 12 month alone than total number of robots in the US, more than half of the planets robots are already in China and that percentage is growing rapidly.
It's not China that has to worry about labour, its you who should quickly figure out how to compete with the country that owns more robots than you have workers.
I find the idea of Anduril flawed in many ways (and the company has an FTX feel to me, for some reason): First, using 'build minimal product and iterate fast' approach doesn't work with big projects like aircraft carriers or planes. These things cost billions to build even in mass production. And running complete analysis and simulation before trying is clearly more efficient. Second, 'giving the company a lot of money without a contract to make read stuff' leaves a big potential for fraud. Third, the company assumes that it can predict the need of future warfare better than the Department of Defense, which has decades of experience. I think this is highly unlikely. Finally, this company is positioning itself 'alongside' existing defense contractors, meaning it's asking additional money in a time when US economy is stuck between hyperinflation and recession. The US just doesn't have money to throw in a pit now.
I think that is fine. As John says they are not supposed to be the saviors, only a template. It is just like how, where Theranos failed, others were able to succeed. Abbott has developed a portable blood testing device called the Alinity. Roche has developed a portable blood testing device called the cobas Liat. DiaDexus has developed a blood testing technology called the Dexcom G6. Other than those, there are a number of other startups that are developing blood testing technologies everywhere. So this is something that can be easily replicated, if we find a cheaper sustainable way of building this things.
FTX was a joke and pretty sad how everything turned out
Check our economy now
and this is why you're not building the future and Anduril is. checkmate China
Money is not a real resource. The simple truth is culturally historically and factually Chinas military culture is near tribal warfare combined with some littoral piracy. The only time in modern history China has had a unity allows for a more developed military culture is the 70 plus years since its rescue that included a free world trade access provided by USA.
Suppose the Military culture catches up or has even surpassed western systems. China still has to keep control of its own population in ways the west does not ideally have to. This alone is so precarious ultimate physical power balanced with controlled population is a mini war in itself.

@@Stellar289Yeah, Any Sources That You Even Dare Say They’re Behind? American Intel? 😂
its better to not disturb the red dragon, i wonder how macarthur wouldve thought of modern china
@@General_MacArthur idk maybe look at how their economy and military tech is pretty behind overall. And they also literally get by just from stealing tech from the states/nato so I wouldn’t necessarily call them that overpowered.
@@General_MacArthur also I’m not saying we shouldn’t fear them. China is still pretty powerful and can do a lot of damage to us.
What a simplistic approach in tackling the problem. People like McNamara won’t embark into consolidation of weaponry manufacturers without reasons. Funds available R&D, time, financial and brainpower resources etc are just some of the issues.
Play time is over. America has a choice...come to grips with the new landscape or get destroyed.

First time watching you.
Your narrative leaves much to desire to learn.
You jump around making outlandish statements about federal procurement processes,technology growth,intellectual property needing to be shared & or bought. My family has been in federal military contracting both in supplying services, and a bit of innovation. The competition is fierce❗️❗️ Procurement officers gather prospective companies and individuals from private commercial sectors worldwide to accomplish their directives.
You sir, need to read a few hundred pages on federal procurement methodologies.
President Biden: 'Uh?! You sunk my battle ship!' President Xi Jingping: Who? Me?' 😂😂😂😂😂
Biden: We are not capable hitting with moving objects except stationary undersea pipeline.
Xi : I know that, because we moved undersea mountains to collide with your submarine.
Ok…. So in a war situation how does china actually function when 80% of it’s energy inputs are not coming through because the largest navy in the world is not allowing it?
Well, do you think China not having any oil it can explore? It has 5.4 years of oil reserve just to keep itself going without any import and it also has Russia in the north that can export oil to it. With gas it has 22 years of gas and it also has not tap into the largest reserve of shale gas. Can the largest navy stop Russia exporting oil to China? No.
google "CPEC". china has been thinking about this problem for decades and has already implemented a solution. they could also just sink all surface ships america has with their massive stockpile of missiles
War games are designed to steel-man the enemy and make them nearly perfect actors on the battlefield, that's about the only way you can improve your forces. It's hard to take this video seriously when that was the opening statement.
Thank u. Some one get it
Very well put John Coogan, this is what people need to be having more and more conversations about in the military, thanks for the video 👍🏻
Why does it seem that nobody understands war games?!?!? The US is MEANT to lose, otherwise there is no use of war games, the US plays at a disadvantage every single time. If the US played at it's regular power, there is no learning.

I follow and agree with almost all of these observations. However, I think it would useful to talk about the effectiveness of DARPA. After all, they seem to have made many useful innovations in advanced technology for the military.
China would not beat USA. Only USA can beat USA.

I was a little kid in 90s, so it might be just nostalgia, but quote: "It felt, like living at the end of history" was something my mind stopped upon.
USA Democracy free speech?Where have you been mate for the last 50 years?
Bla Bla Bla .... so where is the Ace up the Sleeve? What a lot of experts cannot or do not want to accept is that All Empires do not last for ever, just look at history. The US is already in the 3rd and final phase known as Decline, and it is just a matter of time for China to become the number one military super power. Videos like this one simply project a wishful thinking vision. It is so hard for Westerners to swallow their pride and to admit that the US and NATO have thrown the best they have at Russia and have not been able to accomplish anything, in fact, Russia is winning the war.
I don’t agree with this video. I’m a black female founder so getting access to funding and customers (even Government customers) is exponentially harder for me then it would be for some dude who can spend $10mil of his own money to develop products for the DoD and then sell to them, but there are other avenues that you failed to discuss in your video such as SBIR/STTR or simply registering in SAM. The true issue is that most Tech companies don’t want to sell to the government - A. The public sector offers an unlimited opportunity at capitalism B. In most cases it’s not lucrative to sell to Uncle Sam + there’s a perceived moral objection within the Tech community.
Let’s build peace around world in a mutual ensured prosperity.

Someone will end up prospering more, somehow, either by selfishness or pure coincidence. The reason doesn't matter. It will then be the start of conflict and distrust once again

Not while China poses the greatest threat to mankind.
@@widodoakrom3938 Its the nature of the ruling capitalist class and not human nature.
Implementing Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing and Nuclear Fusion on designing future weapons is the key.
With ai we can predict and engage enemies autonomously from across the sea. It can also detect and prevent cyber attacks thus decreasing the time and effort to address the problem.
Quantum Computing can help simulate real life war scenarios thus making us more prepared and cautious. It can boost the use of machine learning and mathematical equations impossible to calculate with our current technology.
Nuclear fusion will be able to power an entire fleet of ships and drones. It can support ships and submarines for longer durations and can be used to power up innovative weapons such as lasers.
I'd bet the US has had advanced AI for at least a decade now. Particularly when you consider that almost the entire Internet reports to them, they have like the biggest big data available.
But we have non binary bathrooms, colorful hairs, neutral pronouns, love wins 😢
Isn’t that insane
My biggest problem with the video that was never mentioned was about how defense spending surely did fall 15% ON PAPER. But did the black budget get taken into account? Notice how we always have a spending deficit of about Trillion since 2008?
Most of that deficit isn't military spending, despite our overly bloated military budget. It is social security, welfare, bailouts, incentive programs, and medicare.
The real black budget is bureaucratic incompetence.
You meant like how China defeated US in their own Chinese made mini game stimulation?
Wonderful ideas😊🙏👍God bless America.
I never heard China say (at least) other country bad thing. But. others keep saying China........................(then,now,future).
1:30 in 1944.. and you go on to say that the US hasn't joined the war?!
Huh?!
We joined in 1941
Defense is not a business like the others. Defense companies can't sell their products to the everybody and their mother. Japan would love buying F22 fighters and B2 bombers. This would be great for uncle Sam, because it would bring costs down. But it's far too sensitive tech, even if it's 20-30 years old. Only 'mericas best friends are allowed to buy heavily downgraded econo-boxes... like the F35... maybe... I wonder how Ikea and Meme-Stock-Startups would deal with his handicap applied
F-22 can be bought by Canada, only country US offered F-22 to in 2008, but Canada really doesn't need it so it declined. When Bush was asked why only Canada, he said because F-22s will be in Alaska.
Yes. The fleecing of America. This is the land of cheep traders....

America didn't lose anything, it's was first in the game of Recherche and Development but when the others came into the game it found itself struggling to stay the best
Cough! Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan. Still think the USA didn't lose :)
@@chunchun-maru The USA didn't lose any of those conflicts. They kicked ass, had the most kills, made the most gains, then left when the mission was incomplete due to a variety of factors, none of them military. Weak try :)
How you lose when your leader is dead bin laden saddam and a lot of other names
@@chunchun-maru I think you need to take a deeper dive into those wars.
South Korea is a place that exists and remains a strong ally of the US to this day.
The United States military was vastly superior to NVA and Viet Cong military forces. The kill ratio of American and Allied forces compared to NVA and Veit Cong forces was about 3:1. If you only look at American casualties compared to NVA and Veit Cong casualties, the ratio grows even larger. The US bombed North Vietnam into a peace treaty before pulling troops out of the country. Only when the US had withdrawn from Vietnam did the North violate the treaty and conquer the South. It's clear that in an all out war between the two nations, what the outcome would have been.
In what way did the US lose to Afghanistan? The United States occupied Afghanistan for 20 years. 20 YEARS! The same Afghanistan that is considered to be a contributing factor to the fall of the Soviet Union by the way.
@catmandu6776 and we didn't even fight Afghanistan. We bombed the taliban until they hid in caves for 19 more years and helped train the Afghan army on how to fight the taliban until we just gave up and left
Non biased and for the most part very accurate information 👍
Great work as always, Thank you
USA needed that kick in the ass because it got too relaxed. But it’s ok. We know what to do. We adapt really quick to any sort of challenges and come out only stronger.
Actually you don't know what to do, since USA only knows to build weapons and military bases, which are useless against china's strategy which is economic and diplomatic.
China is building ports, roads, rails, power plants, factories, schools etc, while USA is building miltary bases which do address or counter chinas strategy at all.
Even if usa wakes up and tries to compete with china in building and economics, USA will still lose since China is the world leader in infrastructure construction and china's pockets are much deeper than usas since USA is wasting it all on weapons and wars. Even if USA wasn't wasting all it's money on wars and weapons, USA still cannot compete vs china in building around the world. no one can.
So like this video says, USA has already lost. It's too late to beat china in anything except war. And in war USA will also lose big time even if it wins vs china like in Taiwan. After such a war both china and USA will lose, Russia and others will overtake both USA and china since both countries will be destroyed, including their militaries.
USA can do nothing except slow china's rise down, but in the end china will still overtake usa with 4.5x usas population and smarter education system and students in general. Most Americans know nothing about the world or China.
That was when the west accepted Christian values universally , now your regimes religion is environmentalist LGBT evolutionary darwinism who hate humanity and everything right by Principle!

@@kingmight633 you won't do anything. China already attacked USA in 1950 when China has no nukes, no tech, no economy. Same as Vietnam war. USA did nothing. Too scared to even go into north Vietnam the whole war since China warned them just like Korea.

Just one question. Doesn't hypersonic missiles face huge friction with air while flying low under the radar and immense heat resulting due to it?
It creates a plasma all over the surface, and so doesnot comes under radar.
Ask yourself what materials are the command and service modules of the lunar landers and re-entry vehicles of ICBMs made of. Making hypersonic missiles with the right materials nullifies any kind of heat damage they may suffer in operation.
I thought the idea was less about being able to see it with radar rather not having a weapon fast enough to predict it's path and destroy it. But I think a high powered enough laser could probably fix that issue the hypersonics are trying to exploit
@@LiveType If that is the case... HOW is it that Russia used 2 Hypersconics and hit both small targets perfectly? they can modify the flight path during travel.
@@LiveType Sounds alike a tech issue and not a physics issue which means your wrong and it's only a matter of building something that will solve the hurdle since it's not impossible.

Gotta remind people that it's the US who built military bases around China. You don't see China building military bases around America
The US entered the war on December 7th 1941, but you mentioned that Roosevelt's speech was in the final days of 1944.
Yeah he made a mistake
The US actually officially entered the war on December 8th, 1941. the 7th was just the attack.
He who can build fastest, wins
China's equipment and soldiers have never been in war so they aren't battle tested. They have no idea how they will react under the pressure and stress of war. American troops and equipment are tried, true, and tested. Our citizens are under way more constant violence than the average Chinese citizen and our citizens have more knowledge on how to operate weapons. Don't underestimate this. I've seen icy steel people crack in the heat of battle.
Do not count on that, the chinese have been humiliated for 100 years ,they are not going to allow anybody ruin their country now ....., Remember Vietnam, and Korea the Chinese were there and they were poor then..,how do you think they are now ?
better than the gay lcbtq us army today
American Citizens are used to Bombs dropped on their homeland, wait until Chinese Hypersonic Misiles land on your homeland and killing civilians, you will be protesting to your government and demanding them to stop the war
They are subject to fanatical indoctrination.

Our challenge is that the workers of Silicon Valley don't think America is a country worth fighting for. Google had a revolt with its employees over a partnership with the Pentagon, but those same employees have no problem supporting China.
Do you think the people at Meta, Apple, or any other tech company will work with the defense industry? I don't. All you have to do is LISTEN to what those employees say when asked about this or what they think about America.
Our best bet is to partner with countries that have a strong tech sector that already works with defense, like Israel.
My concern too, I’m think perhaps there’s a chance with Tesla but nearly all of the high innovations in the country are backing the wrong horse and don’t have the same values to align themselves to be loyal to the US. Maybe of them don’t have the understanding that the Marxist ideology never works out, for anyone.
The same model was adopted as far as manufacturing is concerned in all industries. Add one feature to a product every year and call it a different name.
I'm glad to see more silicon valley folks speak up against this. Having military and defense become a politicalized topic is very bad news for the future of our country. I know many bright tech folks who are completely against anything related to the military or defense.

Solutions :
1) Reduce barriers for startups to enter and rebuild real defence industry by introducing competition.
2) Invest in new tech and capabilities.
3) R&D should be top priority.
4) Integrate modern tech into military.
5) Reintroduce the capacity to test new ideas as fast as possible.
6) Create Cyber Department and fund it properly.
7) Introduce capabilities specific to china. Just as they built hypersonic missiles with US Carriers in mind, we can and must build Laser defence systems which will render their missiles useless.
8) Invest heavily into emerging and vital future tech such as AI, Laser and other DEWs, Hypersonic missiles, Cyber warfare capabilities, next generation aircrafts and ships, etc.
9) Audit the dod and the military.
10) Always keep far future in mind.
11) Increase friendly relations with powerful anti chinese countries such as India. India is ahead of usa in hypersonic missile tech.
Why don't you libertarians stop demanding government contracts? Go raise you defense money from voluntary contributions instead of taxes.
great post, don`t forget Australia has strong credentials in R & D defence works. Always stands firm with USA.
I really like your points.
Reduce barriers for startups: Encouraging innovation by making it easier for startups to enter the defense industry is a good way to bring in fresh ideas and technologies.
Invest in new tech and capabilities: Investing in cutting-edge technologies is essential for maintaining a competitive edge in modern warfare.
R&D as a top priority: Prioritizing research and development ensures that a nation's defense capabilities continue to evolve and improve.
Integrate modern tech into the military: Ensuring that the military is equipped with the latest technology is crucial for operational effectiveness.
Testing new ideas quickly: Rapid prototyping and testing of new concepts is important for staying ahead of adversaries.
Create a Cyber Department: Given the growing importance of cyber warfare, having a dedicated department for this is a wise move.
Develop capabilities specific to China: Tailoring defense capabilities to address specific threats is a strategic approach. Developing countermeasures for hypersonic missiles and laser defense systems, as you mentioned, is important.
Invest in emerging tech: Investing in areas like AI, Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs), Hypersonic missiles, and cyber warfare is essential for future preparedness.
Audit the Department of Defense (DoD): Ensuring that defense spending is used efficiently and effectively is critical for any nation's security.
Think about the far future: Long-term strategic planning is crucial to anticipate and adapt to future threats.
Strengthen international relations: Building strong relationships with other countries, especially those that share concerns about a common adversary like China, can enhance collective security and access to advanced technologies.

And, the bottom line, always missed, China, like other Asian countries, don't use the Western way of war, which makes for over elaborate "tricky" plans, rigid execution, inability to adapt and divided forces. It is why the only countries that can cause truly massive casualties to a Western country is another Western country.
Japan, after kinda sorta Westernizing prior to WW2, might have finally gotten the memo, but we will have to see.
but US didn't win in a very small country like Vietnam with their "Western Way" of war. US always the EGO. Don't forget the "Art of War" and where it started.
@@buracksJ Heh, nope the West doesn't always win battles, but if it had been 30+ years earlier, then the US would have almost certainly have won for several reasons. The two points about Western warfare are still 100% valid:
1. The West was in Vietnam and not the reverse.
2. The body count was insanely lopsided which is a major point. Combat losses to US forces in 11 years of fighting equaled the annual US deaths from car accidents. Heck, with a fully trained Western style military and facing more tanks and artillery than the Nazis invaded France with, the South Vietnamese held hard and only fell because the socialists in Congress had refused for several years to fund the treaty obligation on military supplies and denied the US treaty obligation to defend an ally when attacked.
@@kamaeq you said it yourself. your first paragraph, “would have almost”… would have. meaning, they had lost, so no need get in into deep. what’s done is done. no point explaining it, no excuses or deeper analysis could turn back time.

Luckily for democracy loving people, the vast majority of the semiconductor supply chain relies heavily on companies in democratic countries. US, Netherlands, Germany, Taiwan.
It might prove difficult for China to compete long term in AI, if they can't get access to the latest semiconductor technology.
China is manufacturing its own semiconductors. Sanctioning doesn't work for China because this will only make them more independent from the rest of the world. China is known for being fast in manufacturing, building, and production. It took the USA 20 years to build a part of a subway line while it took 1 year for China to build a railway that spans across the country.
Literally every single ICBM is hypersonic lol
Another issue is, despite stupid high budgets, defense / public sectors pay like shit compared to private market rate. How can you expect the brightest minds out of schools across the country to do the same job for 30-40% less pay? "Good benefits" don't make up for that, when you're paid well, you can buy your own benefits as needed. That is the real reason, at least in the software sector, the best minds today work on "emojis and search engine optimization" as that one speaker said.

Horribly inaccurate video. Makes me want to doubt everything Coogan does.
At this point BRICS has more allies who also has resources in their country that America was depending on to keep their country going, now that there's this huge separation with the Allies people that had joined China and Russia have free range to trade with each other in their resources to develop bigger and better product, weapons and this is what happens when you sanctions countries that you need the most. America has driven away a lot of close allies that has resources that they needed to survive or should I say stay on top which I see America is tumbling down to the same level as everyone else. America has been dethroned you no longer the superpower, China is doing the things that America supposed to be doing which is helping others and helping them to develop their country and to have resources that they need to survive. What America has done was destroyed a lot of countries, put them in poverty and now the tables is about to turn.
Well, this is by far the most scary scenario to potentially happen within the next five years. God I truly do hope America comes to it senses and changes how it creates technology, now I can understand the need for AI and perhaps the need to get rid of unecessary bureaucracy and rules regulations holding the defence industry back by paper work and not innovation.
Dude, don't fret too much. This guy left a lot of analysis out of his video. First, all the wargames assumed a Chinese surprise first strike. All of the US's casualties happened because of the first strike. Second, Chinese arms exports are failing at a hilarious rate - none of it seems to work as advertised. If war happens, China is going to get trounced. Also, the US built a new bomber, and the guy didn't adjust inflation when discussing fighter costs. It is not a well-researched video.
