America is the most powerful country on Earth.

We can nuke whatever shithole you come from, faggot.

Nobody can take on our military.

>American history

Only for the last 250 years, if even that. That's absolutely nothing in the big picture.

Unless you mean to imply that some shitty Injuns chasing wooly cattle are the sign of relevance, in which case you're wrong.

No, lots of relevant discoveries were discovered by Chinese (gunpowder, guns, paper, etc.).

What happened to Cambodia

No it's not, no you can't. Being brainfucked by your inbred mongrels into believing that, won't make a difference in the real world.

What point is an army if a couple of thousand of domestic casualties break public opinion like a twig?

China cant project its army power overseas, logistically. The only things its army could do in a war are:
Defend itself.
Invade India, Korea, Singapore, etc.

And the later option would leave it open to civilian unrest.

Fun fact: China has two huge ground armies
1) The PLA itself
2) The Militia. Which is basically the home army directed against local threats and local defense. Whose biggest branch is the People's Armed Police, the Gendarmerie of China whose jurisdiction is above the civilian police as they are both paramilitary and law enforcement.

It's not as if when the army goes to war there's suddenly nobody protecting the regime. Far from it. Funnily enough, due to Xinjiang, the People's Armed Police is more experienced in combat than the formal military.

This area alone has over 3 billion people, surely something must have happened.

Nigga what? China's navy is laughable, and America has air superiority everywhere in the fucking world thanks to the lovely carriers. Added to the fact that America is way more advanced (ie. Lasers, guess cannons, fighter craft, missile defense, etc.), it would take a coalition of most of the world to even take on America.

Rice and alot of fucking.

American history is hardly relevant, save for contemporary history. The Americas yes, in how they relate to European hegemony, as is Ming China for the economic influence on the ascendency of Europe.

However the concept of relevant history is irrelevant itself, why should relevance dictate ones interests or academic pursuits? Shitposting on 4chan hardly betters oneself or society.

>>452946
The idea of military power equating a country's power or global power is what I don't get.
Sure America got the highest military and arms expenses in the world, by far that is. That however weakens the country because it causes social and economic crisis without break.
But if the world is about getting enough nuclear potential to destroy the planet multiple times, you win, I give you that.

But then Russia wins don't they?
