I concur on this statement.
That may explain why no-US jets are getting more attractive in global defense market...thanks to inflation, BRICS and move away from USD

Bombing the major U.S. military bases in Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, and Australia at one time, requires the superior military power of a superpower nation in terms of troop numbers, missiles, sea power, air power and a huge financial resources.
In our current world, only China is the lightly candidate in such scenario. But what is the consequences for her in the aftermath?
You don't strike without contemplating the outcome. China people is much wiser than Putin for sure.
WW3 will starts.
.....
maybe you forgot I shown you before 5 countries can strike any part of the world
next two maybe not the whole world, but these regions are NKor and India
These countries do not need to come near us, the can hit from home.

The two maybe not multiple war heads, but one war head if successful is enough to stop telling story.

They can hit anywhere that they wanted too..
This is already not a exclusive power.
However, what are the benefits?
Lost more than gain?
What are consequences they have to face in the aftermath.
Are they capable of surviving, remains intact?
Especially for the family of the leaders initiating it.
The leaders of the 2 you highlighted is far more wiser than Putin.

Thanks for the update. Good for them, keep the air defence going without breaking the bank.
Thought their more maneuverable & lighter combat jets also need upgrading, not sure of their inventory in this category though.

That was what the British, French and Dutch colonial forces in South and Southeast Asia assumed too, 80 years ago….

No I am not advocating Singapore military might..🤭
Our land size make it impossible to be one.
But we have the means to strike back hard enough to deter the invader.

Today's war is so different.
Look at Russia vs Ukraine, how they kill each other. Totally different from 80 years ago.
80 years from now, maybe the world extinct already, by nukes 😆🤣😆
I not around to see. Ok..🤭

Long range missile come from Russia, NK or China strike Singapore. You want to fly your planes all the way up there to strike back? You sure?
And if you don't fly your own plane up there to strike them back, you expect Unker Sam help you strike them with their own planes?
Don't forget we are not NATO hor, an attack on any one of us in Southeast Asia or US allies does not necessarily guarantee a US retaliation.
Even for Taiwan, many US political figures and war analysts after finding out that the Taiwanese do not want to fight China themselves and expect US military to fight for them, they are now thinking twice about defending Taiwan, did you know that?

The South China Sea down to Straits of Malacca and out into Indian Ocean is China's only shipping supply route. If US, India, Australia and Indonesia blockade it, China will fight till the end as it's a matter of survival for them.
Singapore is at the nexus of this shipping route. Singapore is definitely a target, an obstacle to be removed.
Previously, China still had Bangladesh and Pakistan as allies for them to access the Indian ocean. Now, no longer, as both countries have been subject to regime change.
Myanmar? Possibly, but US are already in the country, helping to fight covert war and supporting various factions against the Chinese.

As you put it, 6 big countries helping US to block China. Without Singapore, the blockage will not disappear.
Someone already highlighted, US doesn't need Singapore permission to manoeuvre in the Straits.
China not so dumb lo..🤭
You think too highly over Singapore significance in the Straits of Malacca saga.
BTW, China already laid out many other paths of transportation for cargoes. OROB.
No necessity in waging a war.
China is much more sophisticated in her Geopolitical management. With 5000 years of wisdom 😉
Unlike Putin.

This sad but true.. and dangerous to Humanity.
War is when Powerful older men send young ones to die.
For better or for worst, this is when these young men quickly grow up and see how they were fooled when arriving at the front line..
