We are not capable of truly reinforcing Eastern Europe, math is not on our side

89. carrier groups are great for mobility, but not so great against a whole enemy country

Why do people think that the U.S has an unbeatable army?

Those carrier groups are advantageous to an extent, they provide the U.S with the ability to wage war from the sea. That is all.

A war against Russia or China would mean that both of those countries don't need Carrier groups as they would have plenty of land in their area to get their birds up into the sky.

In fact they would have the advantage because once one of their airfields is destroyed, they can just simply construct another makeshift one, whilst if a U.S carrier group is destroyed, that's it, the U.S loses permanently one of is launching bases in the sea.


Look, Carrier Groups are great for controlling the seas and being able to have an attack force get to anywhere in the world, but in a full scale war against another powerful nation, the carrier groups become just another kind of land based attack, only difference is they are a lot more expensive and once you take one out, its like the U.S losing a piece of conquered land.


The best aspect of sea based weaponry is submarines, as they can make sneak right up to enemy shores and attack, especially with nukes which are their most effective weapon.
