Current US Military

[Smitty-48]

it's the same thing with the submarines

China is desperately trying to produce their own version of the Lockheed Martin SSN-774 Virginia Class SSN

but it's a system of systems, built on a foundation of decades of evolution and institutional knowledge

China can only produce a cheap knock offs, they can't duplicate America's evolutionary platforms

[Smitty-48]

there is are only two competitors with America in military technology

Europe & Russia

almost all of China's kit is knock offs of European & Russian kit, which is all inferior to America's kit

[Smitty-48]

again tho, China does not plan to ascend to be the Hegemon by military force

China's plan is for America to commit Hegemonic suicide to open the way for them

America will kill herself, China will fill the power vacuum in the wake

the Chinese government has a plan, the American public's only plan is to bring their own Hegenomy down

hence why asserting that Egypt was a Hegemon is stupidity

you don't even know what Hegemon means then, no context

kind of hard to save your Hegemony, when you don't even know what that means

without context, anything can mean anything,

and China is leveraging that, by letting the American useful idiots bring themselves down

Dominating trade, culture, and territory across the known world is not a hegemon. Only the Greeks (who didn’t control shit until Philip II and then lost it in a generation).

Canadian public education ftw y’all.

no idea what you are blabbering on about

I know you are a nice guy, but you are too stupid to even bother arguing with

nice and good are not the same thing

anyways, moving on, no prohibition on discussing Egypt therein

none the less, Egypt was never a Hegemon, since no such thing existed in time of Ancient Egypt

there was no East & West at the time, the Greeks had not yet invented that

the effect of Egypt was rather as Pharaoh

the Egyptians drive the Hebrews into Canaan

that monotheistic religion comes from Egypt, Jesus is Iesu, Iesu is Egyptian

the Ancient Greek Hegemon is the the culture which bring this religion to the West

the gospels were translated into Ancient Greek

the Greeks then moved to Italy, became the Romans

the Romans then incorporated Canaan into their Empire

the Egyptian monotheism then incorporated Rome

the Western World became Christian, and by those means was Europe then America born

[Smitty-48]

in terms of geopolitics, Egypt's position has not changed in 3000 years

in the time of Ancient Greece, Egypt was an archaic regime, a hermit kingdom which did not project power

the Greeks came to dominate them from the sea

the greatest city in Egypt was Alexandria, founded by the Macedonian Greeks in 331 BC

in Ancient Rome, the Egyptians were simply a grain supply to the Romans, like oil from the Middle East now

that Roman maritime domination of Egypt became European maritime domination of Egypt

resulting in the construction of the Suez Canal

at which point the British took Egypt as a protectorate

with the Suez Canal as the linchpin of the Empire in the Raj & Far East
