US media hard at work colluding with Washington manufacturing consent for the next war of aggression against a demonized people whose simple sin is to have developed too fast without having to invade and bomb anybody!
That, my friends, is why WE, yes WE, the USA developed and "accidentally" released a virus, the Covid Virus. That is how we will win a major confrontation.
Europe stands with the US against the chinese-russian threat! It's time NATO starts expanding. Countries like Japan, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand should join and have nuke missile launching sites. Together we would form the Pan Atlantic Treaty Organization. Military force is the only language they understand..
Had the pleasure of serving with then Captain and now Admiral Paparo twice in my naval career. The man doesn't change for the cameras. This is him. Direct, confident (but never arrogant) and loyal to the United States.
I'll bet it was an honor to serve with him 👍. Thank you for your service as well. My son currently serves on the sub where this treaty w/Austraila and England was recently signed. I find those same traits in almost all Navy personnel I've met: direct, confident but never arrogant and loyal to the US.
South China sea is a shallow sea, with many wrecks from over 2000 years of seatrade... lots of discarded nets and fallen cargo containers... alot floating mid water... and that is just the garbage. It also has unexploded sea mines left over from WW2, loads of unexploded bombs dumped by the US from WW2, Vietnam war, and korea war. US subs will have an interesting experience in the South China Sea

In the promotion of men and women to oversee a nation's ultimate weapons systems, you need personalities and demeanor like this admiral: friendly, polite, and open but resolute and non-ideological or dogmatic. You don't want nut cases like the general Flynn guy hanging on to Trump's coacttail, encouraging Trump to declare "marshal law" (by which they meant "martial law") so Trump could resort to using the mighty US military to "enforce" some domestic political election dispute, etc. And the BS that the US is falling behind China is just that: complete BS. In another 25 to 35 years, once China has been operating 5 to 8 super carriers and 2 dozen nuclear subs for at least 20 years, yes, they would be on a par with the US Navy. But right now, the admiral is right: the Chinese "300+ naval ships" are 90% still just fishing boats and mid sized, mid ranged ships that can't do any more than patrolling a tiny strip of China's pacific coast line. The traditional Chinese description for that is "paper tiger." That's what the Chinese military right now is, despite the fact that they DO have very deadly missiles, as noted. And, yes, they have the capability to shoot American military in orbits, as does the USA. But even if both the US and China blow up most of each other's military satellites, the US has more ally satellites in space than China; and on earth, the US WILL still dominate the Chinese both on land and on the high seas, since the US's Air Force has over 10,000 aircraft, most being high-end ones... compared to the much small high-end Chinese Air Force aircraft, in the mere hundreds, however many they may have on paper, like North Korea likes to display their 1950s aircraft and tanks and fishing boats painted as real deadly ships. They don't have dozens of the nuclear subs the US has that could go quietly under water for months at a time, resurfacing only because they need to restock on foods and supplies...
You can always tell when they're interviewing a military person or a politician. The military person answers "Yes" or "No" and then explains why, while the politician spends 5 minutes talking without ever answering the question!
because politcians understand nuance while the meat heads in the military only gives u the preprogrammed narratives they have been instructed by the institutions to give to the public?always the same dumb answers, yes we are ready to go to war or whatever shyt they think they are supposed to say without considering the greater geopolitical consequences or fallout.... these dumbfks dont even realise the power of China.......CHina built 3 prototype aircraft carriers in barely a decade u think to field it?they did it for kicks just to show they could do it. the size of china's army is nothing but a temporary phenomenon, America is thinking in terms of less than even a decade which is nothing. let me give u an example......a mere 14 years ago back in 2008 crisis.....China's gdp was equivalent to Japan at 4.3 trillion and usa at 17 trillion,within a mere 14 years China's gdp is at 18 trillion nearly 75% of what America's gdp is. Within 10 years, the size of China's navy would not only dward USA's her technological capabilities would approach close to 80 possibility even 90 percent parity with USA. Enjoy and savour this last decade of "imagining" defeating China while u can.

Yeah I hope the joint morons and puppet in the white house don't fire him. For the sake of my children I genuinely hope we see some competence return to the federal government. Its terrifying how unpopular military service is becoming. I know so many vets that have told me they would NOT enlist now nor encourage their sons to pursue military service. People need to realize we have never seen a nuclear world war.
Yes, but he can't do a damn thing without Joe Biden and Congress to give him a go ahead! The fact that we have a geriatric president that apparently has dementia doesn't give me much confidence on China that he would really do something to China because we all know he's compromised since he's been taking payments from China!
@@bigwheel9132 agreed, everything he said seemed ingenuine and rehearsed. nothing against the US, but they could've benefited from a more articulate representative.
Single word answers. Yes, No, plausible, optimistic, pessimistic. I appreciate the Admiral's directness and he communicates a sense of strategic clarity on the mission of his very important command.
@@ThwipThwipBoom 6 years army vet here....uh no, this is not even remotely true. American military doctrine is different because our units are encouraged to make decisions if need be.
Yes, Adm. Paparo serves as commander of PACFLT. I had the honor of attending an all-hands with him a few months ago. Very professional, respectful and made sure to answer every question asked.
The admiral didn't understand a new phase of conventional warfare.. hmmmm.. mess production of aquatic and submersible drones and being made in mass right now in China.. and it is artificial intelligent programed.. hmmmm.. Heavy military assets or I would call liability are made redundant.. hmmmm..
And if the admiral could cross the defensive line of a conventional weapons assets.. hmmmm.. There are nuclear weapons issues to deal with.. hmmmm.. I need a one world government... hmmmm.. right now...!!!
This is a fight we don’t need and honestly don’t WANT!!! I say this as an Iraq/Afghanistan combat veteran, we don’t want to do this, but joe Biden is going to put us in the middle of something that will not be able to be undone for many many decades to come
As a Chinese, I have respect to people from both nations. The interview was truly remarkable, and the admiral's dedication to serving his country is commendable. I appreciate the admiral's confidence, humility, and composure. He doesn't display any hostility, yet manages to convey his strength to his opponent. Such qualities make for an exemplary military personnel from any country. I hope that our two nations can eventaully reach a point to promote peace and friendship, for the betterment of both❤
My utmost respect to both of our countries! There is “peace” under “threat” of war. Is something I’ve heard on several occasions throughout my time as a young soldier in the military. Didn’t quite understand it back then, but OMG I fear the outcome now! 🤨
Damn they even had the submarine pop up during her interview. She can't hide how much of a blast she's having on that carrier lmao . Shoutout to the navy
I was on the George Washington cvn73 I try explaining to people sometimes the capabilities it’s really a modern marvel how it operates like a beehive everyone has a job. Were like 20yrs ahead of most countries but there catching up mostly numbers but our quality is better.
Hey! Nim sailor here, thanks for asking the questions we think about. It's a big relief and shows a lot of respect how much the interviewer educated themselves on our issues. Go Navy!

Thanks for your service! I was in the Army myself. China loves to talk a big talk about how deadly their PLA military is. This is combined with China's world's largest propaganda campaigns using their "50 Cent Army" (Wu-Mao) that sets up thousands of fake user accounts on American social media sites to try to sway public opinion and spread more false propaganda (e.g. non-stop daily fake propaganda trying to cover up China's Xinjiang "re-education" concentration camps that imprison and torture 1 to 2 million ethnic Uyghurs). China also loves to publicize to the world their propaganda videos showing their military drills and how their army, navy, and air force look so menacing. But China's last actual combat experience was about 35 years ago during the 1980s Sino-Vietnamese wars. For better and for worse, the U.S. has been involved in actual combat frequently during the past 4 decades. So if war is compared to a soccer or football competition, China has been practicing football drills only with their own players for the past 4 decades, while the U.S. has been playing actual real football games against different teams in different stadiums every year for the past 4 decades; i.e. China has not even played a single pre-season football (war) game for the past 4 decades. So China's 細菌屁 really needs to remember that as much he wants to invade Taiwan as part of his dictatorship legacy, he should not underestimate the U.S. and he should view Russia's struggles in Ukraine as a ominous lesson about invading another peaceful country!

As someone who has just completed a 6 year contract with the US NAVY, this is VERY shocking to see on national television. Most people seeing this may not think much of it, but us sailors are very worried, and put on high alert. Most Americans won’t see what is said and done behind the scenes, but rest assured, we have the strongest Navy in the entire world. And I’m proud to say I’m part of it.
@@sharpe8888 so with that, China now knows our only weakness, our ability to pump out ships in a timely manner. Now, China will see this as an opportunity to Double-Down on their shipbuilding efforts. As mentioned later on the video, “There’s a potential period where China will be their strongest, at the same time that the US might be weakest”. It’s never really been a manner of the US Military to ever admit weakness, Hence why i found this video shocking that they not only allowed 60 minutes to broadcast, let alone televise.

You are absolutely right. The most dangerous country in the world isn’t the one with the poorest people, but the country with the most-advanced technology that has no morals and ethics.
While true, China is and will more so become a problem that needs to be dealt with for all of the free world. Therefore, unfortunately armchair philosophy isn’t very helpful for practical matters such as this.
That was tried before W.W.II broke out and failed. The result was about 65 million people all over the world died in that horrible war. Peace through strength however, works.

“Sailors join the navy to see the world.” my brother did not join to see the world but because he felt he had a duty Sir. Seeing the world was probably the last thing on my brothers mind! He is currently active & deployed.
While the Nimitz admiral mentions our allies and partners, our Congressional representatives make no mention of them. The South Korean and Japanese navies are significant, and their contribution to Indo-Pacific stability should be recognized.
Well wait.... didn't kamala speak about those allies recently ? Our longest running NORTH KOREAN allies ?!?!??!?! 🤣🤣🤣 Here's the real truth... 60 minutes is a leftist propaganda tool, like most media. Our "fighting forces" are much more "keyboard warrior" than down right badass alphas. A product of "inclusion and tolerance" i.e. wokecrap. Our military overall is short on supplies.... courtesy of a proxy war in ucrane with no hope of success yet we keep funneling vital stockpiles to them. Our strategic oil reserves WERE there to fuel our military and nothing else. Soon biden will sell it all for a few quick votes. No diesel for trucks or tanks or ships....no jet fuel for our aircraft. Thank the left when your learning Chinese in a concentration camp...
The U.S Military is nowhere near ready to handle a military like China's. The China outnumbers the U.S 10 to 1, they have much more advanced equipment and much more advanced weapons.
@@kiwiblue2519 You can say that china has more carriers but weapon wise, we don't know the full extent of either nations weapons capability, what we do know is public knowledge which isn't often the whole truth.

No not because of him 😂 we’re strong because we spend more money on the military than anyone else does and we also give money to other countries to buy them weapons lol
I’ve met and had the chance to talk to admirals and upper leaderships in my military career. I can confirm some of them are absolutely menacing on how direct and concise they portray themselves. The current seventh fleet commander gave my helicopter search and rescue detachment a speech / talk while deployed to south china sea. He straight up told us we have one of the most important and exposing jobs. Flying in circles so the jets can take off and land safely. We are the first ones up in the air and the last to land. Man was legitimately appreciative of what we did since we were often overlooked and overshadowed by the jets. Yes we just wait around just in case the worse scenario happens and we have to pull a downed aviator out of the water but I’m glad to this day I have never had to go through our procedures in a real case scenario. That means everyone is being safe and doing their job right!

I'm doubtful that American soldiers are willing to sacrifice their lives for the atrocities and war crimes committed by their country that only benefit the rich
Why are the Americans always thinking about war? I just don’t get it. Fighting for oil in the Middle East, now you guys wants to detain China only because they are the new superpower?
I served for 20 years in the Navy, retiring in 2014. Almost a decade later I can attest that we were already seeing degradation of the fleet. Mostly physically but also a small erosion in training. We are still ahead in 2023, but we can not rest on our laurels. Training needs to be ongoing and more practical in nature when possible. Ship maintenance needs to be prioritized and new platforms need to launched in good working order.
Well, the more degradation the better for the whole world. No more US driven regime changes, civil wars, coloured revolutions or invading countrys that don´t fit US interests. Good thing.
@@haventthoughtofanameyet6364 I don’t disagree with the fact that our maintenance standards are still above other militaries. I am merely stating the need to do even better in regards to training and cyclical upkeep. I still live and work In Norfolk, Virginia. I have friends still serving and go on base often. Sailors serving now have told me things should be better and what some of the deficiencies they see on a daily basis. Simply being ahead of everyone else is not the Navy way. We always want to be improving our processes and leading the way. Hubris will lead to failure. The gentlemen in this very video have said they know we need to better despite still holding an advantage.
This Admiral is fantastic. I don’t know anything about his track record and history, but the way he speaks, answers, and carries himself is very confidence inspiring.
Journalism was killed when Obama replaced the Smith-mundt act of 1948 with the Smith-Mundt act of 2012, look at the 2016 election and how much everything changed that quick. Smith-mundt-1948 stated they can’t run propaganda aimed at any American even if overseas yet Obama felt the need to lie to us and replaced it. Even if it was only for “national security” we all know how much they twist that and who decides what effects nation security? Like if Donald trump gets elected that effects national security 🤦♂️ that gives them the tools to override the will of “we the people” which is exactly what they wanted. We’ve seen they can sway ppls decisions based on the propaganda they run, for instance we have a potato in the wh who didn’t even have to campaign!!

As a former merchant mariner, I know that the US's commercial shipping industry has long been I a poor state. Shipyards are HUGE and complicated facilities to build and you can't build ANY ships without shipyards. This had been a known issue for decades. We need to find a way to make our civilian shipping more viable (profitable) and the naval ship building capability will follow as a byproduct.
Name me something in the United States that isn't in poor state. Our bridges need improving, our electrical grid needs improving, our Southern border needs improving, the list goes on. We spent 2.3 trillion dollars in Afghanistan, and now we are possibly looking at a war with China or maybe even Russia, but as for our country it just keeps on falling apart.

I wish we could just refuse to form part of a war, but that's not what happens. Politicians scheme, and soldiers follow orders. I hope it never, never comes to that.
I hope the same , war will not work because no one will win and both will be losers with many people dead ! An intelligent man uses his mind to determine how not to have a war and speak to each other to accomplish this .
The military industrial complex want this war for money it's all about blood for money the elite want that trading port for themselves America's always try to poke a war like always like they'll some type of Christian crusade to rule the world
I'm dumbfounded at the number of Shipyards they have access to. We could really use more of that. I imagine there'd be a lot of people who'd want to learn how to repair ships.
As a sailor this interview is a very good message and example for preparation. I’m glad I got to join the worlds greatest navy. I’m proud to die and serve for this country. When I say that it’s hard to understand what both admirals from a civilian side it’s very much understandable from a military background.

I was a US Navy Nuclear Surface Officer for 8 years from 2008-2015. The US Navy Surface fleet has a SERIOUS training problem. There is not a "warfighter above all" culture in the non-nuclear surface fleet. I call it a "checkbox and hatch" culture - get through the many random obligations you have then hit the liberty door. In the end, shipboard personnel are pulled 10 different ways and it leaves little time to actually train as real warfighters. The US Navy Nuclear trained personnel have a vastly different culture where training, competence and accountability are EVERYTHING and it has been like that for decades. The culture started by ADM Rickover runs DEEP in the nuclear navy and therefore I am highly confident in our submarine fleet and carrier fleet's ability to actually fight. I just hope the rest of the surface Navy can keep up in a real war...
I agree we got pulled for some stuff that was for sure irrelevant sometimes. Served from 2015-2020. We had a Chinese warship tailing us off the islands in my deployment. Ill tell you one thing the way my CO handled that was truly amazing. Never once felt any bit worried with him in charge. Great man. The one after him lol not so much..😅
The Nuclear Surface Officer is part of the problem and I'm glad he got out. Defeatist attitudes do nothing but breakdown morale. Real question is what did you do about it, while on active service? Complain, I suspect. The common agreement in the Navy, is the Surface Fleet is where they send the dregs. And this Officer is an example of one. I always told my peeps you can complain, but what is the solution. There are many solutions, but the number one solution is to LEAD. by Example. Deck Plate Management. You don't get what you expect... you get what you inspect.
Make no mistake I don't like war either but here's the problem. China doesn't give a crap about what we are going to do or say. they didn't build their military up for defense. nobody's threatening chinas mainland. China built their military up to defeat the United States and that's it. that's why they're being aggressive like they are. nothing we do or say is going to change it. China is itching for a fight and it's going to be with us because they hate us the most.. them and their buddies over there in North Korea. I wonder how many people know that North Korea and China are allies and they both hate us. The number one threat to communist China is democracy that's why anything and everything that comes from a democratic country is banned in China
Working for peace is a nice slogan but hard work will not curtail Chinese leadership's goal of forcibly annexing Taiwan. The Chinese aren't building a 400+ ship navy for the defensive purposes. Further, the Chinese leadership have openly stated China's intent and ordered the Chinese military to be prepared to invade Taiwan 4 years from now.
Communists in China, Russia, and North Korea are all alike, they are evil, they are ruthless, they hate Christianity and free markets and a free society, thus they hate America and the rest of our allies in the Free World. Therefore we must rebuild our military like never before, as a deterrence, yes, and if they choose war, we will be able to decisively win.

I worked along side with the admiral and other military service members last week in Maui helping the victims of the fire. We were giving out crocs/clothes to families, truly a humble man. Proud to work with him and the others.
The Nimitz commander seemed more realistic. While the pentagon admiral comes off as every movie top brass who ignore all warnings because they are over confident in their own abilities.
Samuel John Paparo Jr. (born 1964) is a United States Navy four-star admiral serving as the 64th commander of the United States Pacific Fleet, succeeding Admiral John C. Aquilino on May 5, 2021. He previously served as commander of the United States Naval Forces Central Command, United States Fifth Fleet and Combined Maritime Forces. In previous command tours, Paparo commanded Carrier Strike Group 10 from July 2017 to March 2018 and Carrier Air Wing 7 from August 2011 to December 2012
They are trained to not self doubt. That’s not a good military tool that jumps from your hand to the sand bc it doubts its efficiency. Now Nimitz is trained in free thinking and strategy. A whole different tool. You are comparing a wrench, to an artificial intelligence program for strategic and logistics. No offense to military it’s just that everybody has their purpose and where it fits into the puzzle.
Ready for what? All wars are predetermined in small private rooms, by gloablists bankers and corporate heads. All sides cooperate and winners were chosen by getting loaned more illusion airy cash.
@@whocares3015 scared lol, ain't no one scared Sally boy, bring the pain now, WW3 let's get it, won't gonna know if u die any way so who is scared sally?
They will never say they have enough. Any military always wants more of everything, because it ensures they win battles which they are trained in tactics etc to win. The major tactic is to have more forces with better weapons than anyone else so they can dominate everywhere. That takes a virtually limitless resources to achieve.
Wrong look at WW2 in Germany when we had Sherman tanks and a lot of them that could be replaced and Germany only had a few Tiger tanks and didn't have the capability to build more . So we over welmed them with our tommy cookers .
@@Randy-wq6gm And you are wrong as well. The reason we "out tanked " the Germans was that we used our ability to produce thousands of bombers to destroy the factories the Germans needed to build more tanks. My father commanded first a group and then a wing of those Eighth Air Force bombers. They destroyed not only the tank factories, but also the smaller factories that produced such things as ball bearings that were needed as part of the tanks..........and a whole lot of other things.
@President Eden The numbers of ships are not necessarily indicative of their ability to defeat a smaller force. Much depends on the tonnage of the vessels and their purposes. Right now the Chinese navy only has three aircraft carriers, one of which I believe is a pretty much useless old Russian ship. China has a bunch of smaller, relatively light, vessels, destroyers and smaller I believe. I'd have to do a bit of research, but I think one of our largest carriers can carry more planes than all the Chinese carriers combined. I think we have some thirteen or so carriers, although I'm sure some are in shipyards right now for maintenance.
I worked for 5 years in the shipyard that built the LCS. I’m sure there are multiple factors that affect building on time on budget-but one huge problem among the thousands of shipyard employees, was that they didn’t pay us worth a damn! Lower than average wage for trade hands. Treated the hands like crap. I can tell you this much for sure after 20 years in construction-YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR when it comes to the talent building your boats!!!

I watched your video today about the invasion of Iraq and capture of Saddam. I remember when that happened, I was in college. Hard to believe it was 20 years ago. Hard to believe that today's world is the future that my 20 year old self has inherited. I wonder how I will react to this video 20 years from now. Or how my children will remember this time, and what future they will inherit.
Yessss. Whatever happens now will lead to the future of the world. Every decision that happens plays a part no matter how small. The past doesn’t repeat itself but it sure rhymes I have seen far too often.
Well we do at least know they will inherit a world of fewer choices. So many choices being taken from us right now. They may inherit a NEW WORLD ORDER. A NEW WORLD RELIGION. I’m sad for America, because America as we knew it, is gone. ,,, just gone. ,
Very important indeed. IIRC, the Chinese classify ships differently. Their large is our medium; their medium is our small. Their original statement is misleading, but not wholly untrue.

Had the pleasure of serving with then Captain and now Admiral Paparo twice in my naval career. The man doesn't change for the cameras. This is him. Direct, confident (but never arrogant) and loyal to the United States.

Love this guy. Straight forward, and no BS.
As expected of my admiral
I like how admiral answers questions, briefly and spot on. Politicians need to learn from military
That would be great , we need politicians who love our country and not greed.
Horrible liar though. Can see right thru his BS.
? The whole thing was a lie plus China owns Biden that’s why he sold out strategic oil reserves to china I could keep going but do ur own research.
Different roles
In the promotion of men and women to oversee a nation's ultimate weapons systems, you need personalities and demeanor like this admiral: friendly, polite, and open but resolute and non-ideological or dogmatic. You don't want nut cases like the general Flynn guy hanging on to Trump's coacttail, encouraging Trump to declare "marshal law" (by which they meant "martial law") so Trump could resort to using the mighty US military to "enforce" some domestic political election dispute, etc.
And the BS that the US is falling behind China is just that: complete BS. In another 25 to 35 years, once China has been operating 5 to 8 super carriers and 2 dozen nuclear subs for at least 20 years, yes, they would be on a par with the US Navy.
But right now, the admiral is right: the Chinese "300+ naval ships" are 90% still just fishing boats and mid sized, mid ranged ships that can't do any more than patrolling a tiny strip of China's pacific coast line. The traditional Chinese description for that is "paper tiger." That's what the Chinese military right now is, despite the fact that they DO have very deadly missiles, as noted.
And, yes, they have the capability to shoot American military in orbits, as does the USA.
But even if both the US and China blow up most of each other's military satellites, the US has more ally satellites in space than China; and on earth, the US WILL still dominate the Chinese both on land and on the high seas, since the US's Air Force has over 10,000 aircraft, most being high-end ones... compared to the much small high-end Chinese Air Force aircraft, in the mere hundreds, however many they may have on paper, like North Korea likes to display their 1950s aircraft and tanks and fishing boats painted as real deadly ships.
They don't have dozens of the nuclear subs the US has that could go quietly under water for months at a time, resurfacing only because they need to restock on foods and supplies...
You can always tell when they're interviewing a military person or a politician. The military person answers "Yes" or "No" and then explains why, while the politician spends 5 minutes talking without ever answering the question!
because politcians understand nuance while the meat heads in the military only gives u the preprogrammed narratives they have been instructed by the institutions to give to the public?always the same dumb answers, yes we are ready to go to war or whatever shyt they think they are supposed to say without considering the greater geopolitical consequences or fallout....
these dumbfks dont even realise the power of China.......CHina built 3 prototype aircraft carriers in barely a decade u think to field it?they did it for kicks just to show they could do it.
the size of china's army is nothing but a temporary phenomenon, America is thinking in terms of less than even a decade which is nothing.
let me give u an example......a mere 14 years ago back in 2008 crisis.....China's gdp was equivalent to Japan at 4.3 trillion and usa at 17 trillion,within a mere 14 years China's gdp is at 18 trillion nearly 75% of what America's gdp is.
Within 10 years, the size of China's navy would not only dward USA's her technological capabilities would approach close to 80 possibility even 90 percent parity with USA.
Enjoy and savour this last decade of "imagining" defeating China while u can.

Such qualities make for an exemplary military personnel from any country. I hope that our two nations can eventaully reach a point to promote peace and friendship, for the betterment of both❤
i hope it too, because all the western nation will joint to that war. and in some point it could run nuclear :( and no body win in that point.

Agreed. But it's hard to argue that China is not set on invading something soon.
It would help if the CCP stopped threatening to nuke other countries and delivering ridiculous lists of demands.

China loves to talk a big talk about how deadly their PLA military is. This is combined with China's world's largest propaganda campaigns using their "50 Cent Army" (Wu-Mao) that sets up thousands of fake user accounts on American social media sites to try to sway public opinion and spread more false propaganda (e.g. non-stop daily fake propaganda trying to cover up China's Xinjiang "re-education" concentration camps that imprison and torture 1 to 2 million ethnic Uyghurs). China also loves to publicize to the world their propaganda videos showing their military drills and how their army, navy, and air force look so menacing. But China's last actual combat experience was about 35 years ago during the 1980s Sino-Vietnamese wars. For better and for worse, the U.S. has been involved in actual combat frequently during the past 4 decades. So if war is compared to a soccer or football competition, China has been practicing football drills only with their own players for the past 4 decades, while the U.S. has been playing actual real football games against different teams in different stadiums every year for the past 4 decades; i.e. China has not even played a single pre-season football (war) game for the past 4 decades. So China's 細菌屁 really needs to remember that as much he wants to invade Taiwan as part of his dictatorship legacy, he should not underestimate the U.S. and he should view Russia's struggles in Ukraine as a ominous lesson about invading another peaceful country!

Why are the Americans always thinking about war? I just don’t get it. Fighting for oil in the Middle East, now you guys wants to detain China only because they are the new superpower?
Just writing it in ALL CAPS doesn't mean its true.
I served for 20 years in the Navy, retiring in 2014. Almost a decade later I can attest that we were already seeing degradation of the fleet. Mostly physically but also a small erosion in training. We are still ahead in 2023, but we can not rest on our laurels. Training needs to be ongoing and more practical in nature when possible. Ship maintenance needs to be prioritized and new platforms need to launched in good working order.
Well, the more degradation the better for the whole world. No more US driven regime changes, civil wars, coloured revolutions or invading countrys that don´t fit US interests. Good thing.
We maintain our stuff farrrrrr more than you think, especially when compared to other nations maintenance
@@haventthoughtofanameyet6364 I don’t disagree with the fact that our maintenance standards are still above other militaries. I am merely stating the need to do even better in regards to training and cyclical upkeep. I still live and work In Norfolk, Virginia. I have friends still serving and go on base often. Sailors serving now have told me things should be better and what some of the deficiencies they see on a daily basis.
Simply being ahead of everyone else is not the Navy way. We always want to be improving our processes and leading the way. Hubris will lead to failure. The gentlemen in this very video have said they know we need to better despite still holding an advantage.
Ok. While you're doing that, we'll negotiate a good deal for you.

So you like watching military propaganda commercials?
@@nashtrucker pointless been blind to what's really goin on in the world
I’m excited for ww3 too.
Journalism was killed when Obama replaced the Smith-mundt act of 1948 with the Smith-Mundt act of 2012, look at the 2016 election and how much everything changed that quick. Smith-mundt-1948 stated they can’t run propaganda aimed at any American even if overseas yet Obama felt the need to lie to us and replaced it. Even if it was only for “national security” we all know how much they twist that and who decides what effects nation security? Like if Donald trump gets elected that effects national security 🤦♂️ that gives them the tools to override the will of “we the people” which is exactly what they wanted. We’ve seen they can sway ppls decisions based on the propaganda they run, for instance we have a potato in the wh who didn’t even have to campaign!!

As a former merchant mariner, I know that the US's commercial shipping industry has long been I a poor state. Shipyards are HUGE and complicated facilities to build and you can't build ANY ships without shipyards. This had been a known issue for decades. We need to find a way to make our civilian shipping more viable (profitable) and the naval ship building capability will follow as a byproduct.
Name me something in the United States that isn't in poor state. Our bridges need improving, our electrical grid needs improving, our Southern border needs improving, the list goes on. We spent 2.3 trillion dollars in Afghanistan, and now we are possibly looking at a war with China or maybe even Russia, but as for our country it just keeps on falling apart.

I wish we could just refuse to form part of a war, but that's not what happens. Politicians scheme, and soldiers follow orders. I hope it never, never comes to that.
I hope the same , war will not work because no one will win and both will be losers with many people dead ! An intelligent man uses his mind to determine how not to have a war and speak to each other to accomplish this .

We Americans have no family In china or related to China in any blood form .

China loves to talk a big talk about how deadly their PLA military is. This is combined with China's world's largest propaganda campaigns using their "50 Cent Army" (Wu-Mao) that sets up thousands of fake user accounts on American social media sites to try to sway public opinion and spread more false propaganda (e.g. non-stop daily fake propaganda trying to cover up China's Xinjiang "re-education" concentration camps that imprison and torture 1 to 2 million ethnic Uyghurs). China also loves to publicize to the world their propaganda videos showing their military drills and how their army, navy, and air force look so menacing. But China's last actual combat experience was about 35 years ago during the 1980s Sino-Vietnamese wars. For better and for worse, the U.S. has been involved in actual combat frequently during the past 4 decades. So if war is compared to a soccer or football competition, China has been practicing football drills only with their own players for the past 4 decades, while the U.S. has been playing actual real football games against different teams in different stadiums every year for the past 4 decades; i.e. China has not even played a single pre-season football (war) game for the past 4 decades. So China's 細菌屁 really needs to remember that as much he wants to invade Taiwan as part of his dictatorship legacy, he should not underestimate the U.S. and he should view Russia's struggles in Ukraine as a ominous lesson about invading another peaceful country!

For me, those who serve in the Navy and in aviation are the most courageous and fearless people.
I was a US Navy Nuclear Surface Officer for 8 years from 2008-2015. The US Navy Surface fleet has a SERIOUS training problem. There is not a "warfighter above all" culture in the non-nuclear surface fleet. I call it a "checkbox and hatch" culture - get through the many random obligations you have then hit the liberty door. In the end, shipboard personnel are pulled 10 different ways and it leaves little time to actually train as real warfighters. The US Navy Nuclear trained personnel have a vastly different culture where training, competence and accountability are EVERYTHING and it has been like that for decades. The culture started by ADM Rickover runs DEEP in the nuclear navy and therefore I am highly confident in our submarine fleet and carrier fleet's ability to actually fight. I just hope the rest of the surface Navy can keep up in a real war...
I agree we got pulled for some stuff that was for sure irrelevant sometimes. Served from 2015-2020. We had a Chinese warship tailing us off the islands in my deployment. Ill tell you one thing the way my CO handled that was truly amazing. Never once felt any bit worried with him in charge. Great man. The one after him lol not so much..😅
The CO deployed with i have no doubt what ever ship he on will be out there doing great. Any ship with that new CO i truly wish them the best if luck
Exactly. Rule of thumb for navy careers:
Over the water: Awesome
Under the water: Awesome
"ON" the water: Not Awesome
Destroyers bumping into stuff is a good example. lmao.
The Nuclear Surface Officer is part of the problem and I'm glad he got out. Defeatist attitudes do nothing but breakdown morale. Real question is what did you do about it, while on active service? Complain, I suspect. The common agreement in the Navy, is the Surface Fleet is where they send the dregs. And this Officer is an example of one. I always told my peeps you can complain, but what is the solution. There are many solutions, but the number one solution is to LEAD. by Example. Deck Plate Management. You don't get what you expect... you get what you inspect.
While we prepare for the horrors of war, let's work diligently for peace. War has horrible consequences although necessary at times.
Make no mistake I don't like war either but here's the problem. China doesn't give a crap about what we are going to do or say. they didn't build their military up for defense. nobody's threatening chinas mainland. China built their military up to defeat the United States and that's it. that's why they're being aggressive like they are. nothing we do or say is going to change it. China is itching for a fight and it's going to be with us because they hate us the most.. them and their buddies over there in North Korea. I wonder how many people know that North Korea and China are allies and they both hate us. The number one threat to communist China is democracy that's why anything and everything that comes from a democratic country is banned in China
为和平？美国是全世界最邪恶的恐怖组织！打着民主的虚伪口号，侵略伊拉克，阿富汉，叙利亚！杀列了大量平民！现在还偷叙利亚的石油，笑死人了😂丑陋
Working for peace is a nice slogan but hard work will not curtail Chinese leadership's goal of forcibly annexing Taiwan. The Chinese aren't building a 400+ ship navy for the defensive purposes. Further, the Chinese leadership have openly stated China's intent and ordered the Chinese military to be prepared to invade Taiwan 4 years from now.
Communists in China, Russia, and North Korea are all alike, they are evil, they are ruthless, they hate Christianity and free markets and a free society, thus they hate America and the rest of our allies in the Free World.
Therefore we must rebuild our military like never before, as a deterrence, yes, and if they choose war, we will be able to decisively win. But hope is not a strategy, prayer is good but should be accompanied with action, for our Creator does not ask His sheep to go to the slaughter without a fight.
STOP Buying Chinese Goods! You are literally creating the bombs bullets and missiles that will one day soon be used against you.
God Bless America! 🇺🇸
Except that it is never necessary. Only kills the innocent.
I worked along side with the admiral and other military service members last week in Maui helping the victims of the fire. We were giving out crocs/clothes to families, truly a humble man. Proud to work with him and the others.
The Nimitz commander seemed more realistic. While the pentagon admiral comes off as every movie top brass who ignore all warnings because they are over confident in their own abilities.
Lets..RMBRE facts respectably...🇺🇸 USA..hasn't won..enny wars since WWII
Samuel John Paparo Jr. (born 1964) is a United States Navy four-star admiral serving as the 64th commander of the United States Pacific Fleet, succeeding Admiral John C. Aquilino on May 5, 2021. He previously served as commander of the United States Naval Forces Central Command, United States Fifth Fleet and Combined Maritime Forces. In previous command tours, Paparo commanded Carrier Strike Group 10 from July 2017 to March 2018 and Carrier Air Wing 7 from August 2011 to December 2012
They are trained to not self doubt. That’s not a good military tool that jumps from your hand to the sand bc it doubts its efficiency. Now Nimitz is trained in free thinking and strategy. A whole different tool. You are comparing a wrench, to an artificial intelligence program for strategic and logistics. No offense to military it’s just that everybody has their purpose and where it fits into the puzzle.

They will never say they have enough. Any military always wants more of everything, because it ensures they win battles which they are trained in tactics etc to win. The major tactic is to have more forces with better weapons than anyone else so they can dominate everywhere. That takes a virtually limitless resources to achieve.
It's not about a number of Ships, Airplanes, Tanks, and weapons but it is about how you use those equipments analytically and tacticaly!
Wrong look at WW2 in Germany when we had Sherman tanks and a lot of them that could be replaced and Germany only had a few Tiger tanks and didn't have the capability to build more . So we over welmed them with our tommy cookers .
Facts
No its about going after WAR CEos who caused the wars to begin with!
@@Randy-wq6gm And you are wrong as well. The reason we "out tanked " the Germans was that we used our ability to produce thousands of bombers to destroy the factories the Germans needed to build more tanks. My father commanded first a group and then a wing of those Eighth Air Force bombers. They destroyed not only the tank factories, but also the smaller factories that produced such things as ball bearings that were needed as part of the tanks..........and a whole lot of other things.
@President Eden The numbers of ships are not necessarily indicative of their ability to defeat a smaller force. Much depends on the tonnage of the vessels and their purposes. Right now the Chinese navy only has three aircraft carriers, one of which I believe is a pretty much useless old Russian ship. China has a bunch of smaller, relatively light, vessels, destroyers and smaller I believe. I'd have to do a bit of research, but I think one of our largest carriers can carry more planes than all the Chinese carriers combined. I think we have some thirteen or so carriers, although I'm sure some are in shipyards right now for maintenance.
