Not enough for a major war, that was only 22 jets, and that wasn't the only thing the US was flying for Operation Iraqi Freedom, US forces flowed into the theater from all over the world, and it wasn't subtle, there was massive forward deployment, all enabled by Military Sealift Command, via Diego Garcia Island in the case of bombers.

In the build up for Operation Desert Shield in the initial month, the Air Force flew 53,000 sorties, 300 transport aircraft, one landing every seven minutes at Dharan in Saudi Arabia, there's no hiding a US build up for a major war.

OIF wasn't even a big war in the grand scheme of things, if the US was ramping up for a war with China, it would be all hands on deck, dwarfing anything the US did in 2003. More like 1990-1991, and that, was not subtle. It would be bigger than the Gulf War, there's no hiding the build up to the brink of World War Three.

It would be mass mobilization, every US combatant command would be on alert, US forces would be flooding out of the CONUS to PACOM, and likely EUCOM as well.

If China and Russia are involved, it's no longer a theater war, that's a global war by default, and so the entire US military would be ramping up into high gear, worldwide, it would be all over the news, you wouldn't have to scour clickbait sites to find it.

People can check online right now, there's no ramp up for war, most of the American carrier strikes groups are in port, if they were preparing for war on the Peninsula, at least five of them would be steaming towards Korea at flank speed right now, along with a Marine Expeditionary Force, XVIII Corps, VIII Army, and everything in PACAF would be swarming to Yokota, Osan, and Andersen Field on Guam.

And that would just be for starters, all of NATO would be ramping up as well.

How long has Okie been out? If the US was ramping up for a war that big, I would actually expect Okie to be called back to active duty.

That would be the first sign that they weren't kidding around, they would start recalling the recently discharged to stand to.

We aren’t going to invade China. That would be silly.

MIC is prepping to fuck up a third-world shithole like Iran or Nork. The world war starts by degrees, not a big blast.

We’ve already got WAY more troops than necessary to do both at once.
SJWs are a natural consequence of corporatism.

If they are going to war on the Peninsula, that has the potential to drag both China and Russia in, the Pentagon wouldn't be preparing for best case scenario, that's not how it works.

Any theater war in Korea, is a worldwide operation, because they don't know how and where and when the Chinese and Russians might respond, so it's the brink of World War Three by default, just as the first Korean War was.

I don't expect an imminent war in Korea, but if such a war were to come about, it's not going to be a small war, it's going to make the Gulf War look like Grenada.

I don't think the Chinese would even come across the Yalu, but they would respond in the China Seas, and then the fur is gonna fly.

The Russians wouldn't come in on the ground, but they would probably respond in the European theater against NATO, just to tie the Americans down there.

The Russians and Chinese would both likely respond by giving America more fronts to worry about, in order to disperse American combat power, even if they didn't go head to head right out of the gate. Retaliate by causing shit all over the place, in order to force America to run around putting out fires.

Land war is not even a big deal, the big deal would not be even be on the Peninsula, it would be on the high seas, and that can kick off anywhere, that's a global confrontation.

You don't even have enough troops do the Iraq War again, contrary to what Grumptard says, the US army is historically small right now, only 476,000 active duty, if the US is going to war in Korea, Okie is getting called up, they don't have enough Okie's to fight a war like that right now.

I'm not saying these clowns know what they are doing. They literally pulled the exact same play again for Iran. All the talk radio is spitting out the rhetoric verbatim. These *redacted* sure aren't as smart as everyone makes them out to be.

It's just rhetoric tho, for domestic consumption, there's no there there, they're just talkin' shit, they're not backing it up with any action.

It's just politics, Trump & Co are trolling the liberal media, the US military hasn't moved and it isn't moving, it's a just a distraction, jingly keys.
