Having an aircraft carrier is the easy part. Running and keep it in operation is a monumental task. Don't forget the dozen of supply ships needed to support the carrier.
Exactly the Royal Navy and us navy have been conducting carrier operations for the best part of 100 years. The difference between land and sea based aviation is huge, the logistics of supplying aviation fuel, food ammunition etc will be too much for most smaller navies and is part of the reason Russia has never built its own bluewater carriers
Thomas Fredericks I could be wrong but I believe the ships maintain a more stable platform when traveling parallel at speed. This allows the ships to use their rudders to avoid collisions. While if they were stationary heavy oceans can push the ships into one another. I believe there are several other factors such as maintaining crew readiness. There are pictures of ships tied up and stationary but I’ve only seen them in littorals or calm seas. Kind of like submarines and their tenders. You’re right about the necessary supports ships. Imagine driving a big rig up I-95 and having to have a fleet of 12 support vehicles.
According to Admiral Cunningham, "Taranto, and the night of 11-12 November 1940, should be remembered for ever as having shown once and for all that in the Fleet Air Arm the Navy has its most devastating weapon."
I’d say attributing the 1942 Pacific campaign as solidifying the ascendancy of the aircraft carrier is way off the mark. In the 1940 Battle of Taranto the Royal Navy launched the first all-aircraft ship-to-ship naval attack in history on the Italian battle fleet, using aerial torpedoes. The success of this attack (with 3 battleships disabled,1 heavy cruiser & 2 destroyers damaged) showed the ascendancy of naval aviation over the big guns of battleships. And, of course, this action was studied with great interest by the Japanese, who used similar tactics in 1941, with their attack on Pearl Harbour…
Exactly, the royal navy and Japanese navy noticed the carriers potential first. The plus Bismarck wouldn't have been sunk when it was if not for the ark royal, etc. Inspired by Taranto the Japanese successfully completed the audacious raid on pearl Harbor, the quote "thank God they sunk our battleships" comes to mind.

Its a magnetic linear induction. I worked on them them at a Electronic company I worked for quite a few years. The magnetic levitation floated a 500lb stage that sat on a 1 ton solid piece of granite the stage would move it in X/Y direction at 400 mm a second. It was a good ride
And the Chinese saying they will have rail guns and energy weapons isn't the same as actually putting them on a carrier. Not to mention they are unable to have an advanced jet fly off a carrier, they are having problems designing a powerful enough jet engine.
@@Richie.P71 You mean the USS Ford still cannot launch one single fully loaded jet fighter? Cos they do not have power full enough Made in China parts jet engines? Why they need those catapults which ... completely failed? On Tuesday morning, officials placed a weighted sled at the end of Ford's Catapult 1. The catapult officer gave the command, the shooter pressed the launch button inside the cab and … nothing.

This video is pretty new. And it says, both technologies (direct energy weapon and railguns) are at early development stages. This is not true, obviously. GE is ready to supply working railgun to any ship large enough to provide power to it, definitely to the USS carrier, and 30KWt laser system, such as ATHENA from Lockheed Martin, are tested as working prototypes. This called advanced development stage, not early development. Some of those are ready to be installed tomorrow and ready for production.
I’m going to point something out There’s something every missile needs is the kill chain if you don’t have that kill chain Those missiles and not reaching anywhere near a carrier strike group Those missiles and not reaching anywhere near a carrier strike group only one nation I think it could possibly do that it’s China And only if the US put the carrier strike group too close to the coast line
So waerd when i watch stuff like this the most newest and best when i was kid growing up is now geting ready for retirement man time flies nimitz was the cats ass when i was a kid and they still hade ww2 and Vietnam stuff still in service
It’s not just the very expensive carrier but the experience and training of the navy. The US has 200+ years of naval experience, China has less than 50. Now with cruise missies that becomes a problem but eventually a counter will be invented.
Yea claiming the US navy is manned by sailors over 200 years old now? How terrified are you to believe such BS? Even the goatherding Iranian navy can capture US warships with ease and make them cry on camera as they call for Commander Mommy. Over 70% are not even qualified to be on any ship remember the real world facts not made up by ... ghost crews? Was Zheng He not a Chinese fleet admiral with the worlds biggest largest fleet in ... the 13th century? Americans never got past canoes remember? They just copied the Chinese ship design you mean? Gonna argue against historical facts? Yup you will ...
@@DemonNitrix Haha hate trolling confirmed. One comment after the other mentioning hate over and over and over. Yes you are the reason wars happen. That is on you and only you. So you are so full of hatred you personally attack people online following them around. That is so sad! You seem to have a psychotic hatred of historical facts somehow. Did someone completely beat your countries military when it was waging ... war? I bet you cannot name by name your country cos then we can fact check history on what you haters have done. I bet it's about war. Can you name by name your country? Cos we all can proof read how you hide your name even. ;-) Now the historical facts posted remain the same. You cannot change them with your hate.
Michel Platteeuw OK, “Michael”. Settle down, “Michael.” What is “Plateeuw” supposed to be anyway? Dutch or something. There is certainly value in having hundreds of years of experience in naval warfare because the country learns to make thousands of decisions each day from the RECORDED and REMEMBERED aggregated knowledge over that time by personnel trained for years with older sailors. Personal mentorship. Leadership. Prioritization. Evaluation. You cannot find this in the stolen material CCP has from the US. The CCP is in for a very rude awakening if it keeps trying to push the US out of the Pacific, “Michael.” Saving face will be the least of your, I mean CCP’s, worries, “Michael.”
Ten carriers that cannot launch planes or have the elevators to bring planes to the Deck? The Navy has already tried to mothball The Ford. A total shat show.
@@seanbrazell6147 Haha 20. Nice Hollywood movie sure. 'For 22 days this summer, the Navy did not have a full carrier strike group deployed anywhere in the world'. news.usni.org/2018/09/26/aircraft-carrier-deployments-25-year-low Yea maybe at best 3-4 US carriers right now. If they do not have COVID-19? Let us see factual proof and evidence of these so called '20 baskets'? Or did you mean caskets?
The Chinese navy is very vulnerable with only two carriers and the Russians with only one is in even worst shape. The U.S. and the U.K. navies are more advanced and so are the French and they will be the future of naval operations into the future.
China cancelled planned construction of their 5th and 6th carriers 2 months ago, citing "technical complexity and cost issues" Their economy is getting squeezed hard!! When they start cancelling major warship contracts, you know they're in trouble!
Of course their economy got hit hard over the last few years especially this year and many companies are leaving china namely samsung and others. How i wish this will be the start of chinas downfall.
If the USA Navy had the Barak-8 missiles that Israel sold to India, it would greatly enhance their overall missile defenses. Also the bank of air defense missiles they carry on the aircraft carriers only holds 8 missiles. I'd think they would be more prepared with banks of 24's.
Why they are called sitting ducks. US navy couldn't stop a single missile if they tried really. Remember the Battle of Bubiyan when they tried it? Didn't work out. Even at 100% interception a full US CBG could take out up to 200 incoming targets. Why we wiped the entire US fleet in one single salvo ... of 800 missiles. Gotta love RIMPACS right? You can reset and? Do it again. ;-) I would just walk aboard a US carrier. Get into the secure reactor rooms and throw a paperclip somewhere really bad. Easy!
if china or russia launch hundreds of missile will the ford class carrier able to survive? or is the carrier strike group able to defend itselt from hundreds of missile simultaneously?
The Royal Navy has said their new aircraft carriers have no defence against the Russian zircon missile. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/royal-navy-new-queen-elizabeth-class-aircraft-carriers-not-stop-russia-zircon-missiles-hypersonic-a7651781.html
rev scander it’s not just the attack but the repercussions of the attack and the response after. I wouldn’t want to be with in a hundred miles of the place that launches missiles at US ships.
That’s the main thing. The carriers are supported by a fleet of various ships all with impressive detection and suppression defense weapons. And who would want to face the repercussions of an attack.
@@Angl0sax0nknight Yea we know a single Vietcong with a backpack bomb can sink a US carrier. Then they ran the Americans out of their countries one bodybag after the other. Can you post proof and evidence to these so called 'repercussions'?
@@phbrinsden There is no 'main thing'? No navy on this planet has ever detected one of our d/e Perishers in over 70 years. Do remember during Northern Star we were 6 feet under the hull of a US carrier undetected for 3 weeks. Just waiting till the last day to wipe the entire US CBG. ;-) Now Russia could surface one of their subs. Sail past all the escorts till they hit the US carrier. See? Easy. Remember how that Chinese Song class surface past all those escorts alongside that US carrier? Hmmm almost seems like there are no 'impressive detection and suppression defense weapons' at all. So fake news and propaganda due to huge fear? We all know they are sitting ducks?
The best thing of the ford class carriers it not its weapons and aircraft or even its engines its the Fact it can be upgraded that why its will be in service till 21st century no other carrier in the world has this ability. But the railguns wont be added to carriers sinse they become useless after several guns maybe energy weapons sinse it has nuclear reactor to power the ship.
Sure nice fake news. We know for a proven fact without using a capital letter in the middle of a sentence that the Ford cannot launch one single fully loaded fighter. It is suppose to be a carrier but it cannot even do that for over 14+ billion taxdollars. No one is gonna fall for some guy pretending there is a 'till 21st century'? Every kid in school will know we are in the 21st century? Anno Domini remember? Now if something powers a ship? How can it power any 'energy weapons'? You think the US has magical Hollywood weapons now? lmao! 'the railguns'? Sure from which movie? Care to show us one single railgun firing off the deck of any ship?
One well placed bomb will make a well placed hole, but the big carriers are compartmentized and you can break it into 2 pieces and still not sink it for days or weeks
I saw a video of INDIA,going off on CHINA with everything they got at the same time... O.M.G. that's showing CHINA we might look like theirs no way, I guess theirs someone much bigger and on INDIA'S good side... DO NOT MISTAKE INDIA, THEY ARE TO BE HIGHLY RESPECTED LIKE ANY OTHER COUNTRY...
Having an aircraft carrier is the same as having a runway except you get the benefit of moving. You're still coveted by inmeansr screens of ABMs. Some would even say the Aegis ABM is better than the ones we have on land. Without launch detection capabilities I don't believe yet that ballistic missiles pose such a threat, and china's Hypersonic glide vehicle is inaccurate and not easy enough to control to pose a threat. Their carrier development is scary and so is their aircraft development. As they have stolen terabytes of tech specs and manufacturing secrets and so on. Essentially China doesn't yet have the quality of manufacture and the ability to make what they steal but they quickly will approach a point by 2030 where their cheap electronics become sensitive military electronics that maybe the US won't even know how to produce. In order to prevent this from happening we must protect our military industrial complex from Cyber attacks.
so many awesome weapons are built, but there is no battle ground ... so bad! Why not to designate some patch in the Pacific Ocean where anybody can fight anybody for real ?
i dont know i think super carriers may still have a chance if they bring more capable escorts think about it destroyers with lasers and high speed interceptors instead of 2 smaller carriers you can have ships like the zumwalt with less crew and more escort oriented roles of protecting the carrier from threats it is easier to protect 1 ship from constant assault than 2.
Ok let's get some perspective here because there is only one way to treat a bully and that is to take the bull by the horns and tear them off. So if you REALLY want to intimidate your enemies with carriers you need at least 10,000 which would be 10-12 times larger with 1000 aircraft each plus all the sophisticated high tech shit which can cruise at 300MPH with a top speed of CLASSIFIED plus 1000 support ships per carrier including 250 nuclear subs with 5000 missiles plus an impenetrable defence dome with a radius of 5,000 miles. Then you can pound the Spratlies out of existence with impunity while leaving your enemies PETRIFIED witless and shitless and just in case the little bastards want to spoil your action you can release 1 MILLION MISSILES SIMULTANEOUSLY Now that will substantially reduce the size of the argument
It's long past time Russia admitted to itself that it hasn't been, and will never again be, a superpower. It's like a midlife crisis complete with ostentatious weightlifting accompanied by sad shirtless preening on horseback. Otherwise known as Vladimir Putin.

MROOD You should consider keeping your opinions quiet and letting people suspect that you are a fool instead of putting your opinions out there and letting people know for sure that you are a fool.
I am convinced that many of us Westerners are envious of Chinese and Russian development: 1) Europe with its 650 million inhabitants is a more importent market for the Asians than the US with 325 million inhabitants. Europe with its 48 countries (28 in EU) have almost the same GDP (in total) as US with its 50 States and maybe Walmart has to produce their own stuff in the future! The GDP/year increase 3-4 % in China and 6-7% in India and both countries have about 1,4 billion inhabitants each! By 2030 China will have the same GDP as US and by 2050 it has doubled it (twice the US GDP) and by 2050 India will have the same GDP as the US according to international calculations! www.pwc.com/gx/en/issues/economy/the-world-in-2050.html 2) They are building gas & oil pipelines, highways & railways on the old "Silk Road" from Asian countries to Russia/Europe for future trades between them. The trades are about 10 times faster on land than on sea and US can´t affect that if disagreements arise (despite having a dozen carriers which are "sitting ducks" to missiles 2-3 times faster than defending missiles)! The Royal Navy has said their new aircraft carriers have no defence against the Russian zircon missile. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/royal-navy-new-queen-elizabeth-class-aircraft-carriers-not-stop-russia-zircon-missiles-hypersonic-a7651781.html Proposal is that the trade should take place in petrojuan, euro or any other agreed currency instead of petrodollar via the BRICS organization! (BRICS = Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa)! The US has difficulty controlling production in China! 3) 2/3 of all industries is in Asian countries and 2/3 of all population lives there so the future market will be there. All countries are copying and develops products - EVEN the US. In 10-15 years, China, India & Russia have passed US in technology they think. China, India & Singapore have the best education systems in the world acoording to conducted surveys especially in math & physics! There are 10 times more PhD´s graduates / year in both China & India than in the US! The Government pays for students to study at universities in China and in the Scandinavian countries. In the US it is very costly so what happens if these American universities shut out students from other countries ... Bankruptcy I believe! By the way: IT companies in Silicon Valley are largely managed by Chinese and Indian people! 4) China has developed the world´s fastest supercomputer and has sent taikonauts to space , Maglev Trains operating at speeds of up to 430 km/h (270 mph) among other things and India has their own "GPS satellites"! Most Westerners don´t even know how Maglev Trains works (do a search)! China plans to build its own space station and has recently landed on the moon's backside with a vehicle to investigate it geologically! Stealing US Tech? ruclips.net/video/38F1Y_ATP54/видео.html Trump - You stole our 5G technology Xi Jinping - But you don’t have 5G Trump - That’s because you stole it 5G is conquering the world. You either hop on the train or left behind at the station. Russia, China & India have their own "Silicon Valley" 5) NASA uses Russian rocket engines, which, according to the US Space Agency, are more powerful and are more reliable than the domestic ones. US Austronauts are sent safety to ISS from Russia with Russian space rockets! 6) Russia & China are investing in Asia, East Europe, Africa & South America with infrastructure and help the residents build industries there while US just sells weapon systems (not the latest developed)! The US can almost only offer weapons and therefore they have a sharp deficit in trade balance with other countries! Russia is building Nuclear Plants (3:rd generation) in different countries - including 4 in Egypt, 5 in India, 2 in Bangladesh, 3-4 in China, 1 in Finland etc and totaly 13 countries are in line to order so far! US intervenes and sanctions countries that don´t follow US rules (even against their "allied") and creates war against those who don´t obey! Guess which ones are most popular !!! Did US and NATO involvement (bombing/destruction) in Libya, Somalia, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan etc made more freedom to the people or more terrorist groups do you think? Now US is moving her "take over plans" to Iran and Venezuela to get control over their oil sources as well! ruclips.net/video/9RC1Mepk_Sw/видео.html8)

GE is ready to supply working railgun to any ship large enough to provide power to it, definitely to the USS carrier, and 30KWt laser system, such as ATHENA from Lockheed Martin, are tested as working prototypes. This called advanced development stage, not early development. Some of those are ready to be installed tomorrow and ready for production.
And that’s why the GRF class carriers have huge electrical generation capacity. Future weapons will use lots of electrical power.
@@phbrinsden 'huge electrical generation capacity'? K so prove that? If you can't? Your talking out your rear end. ;-)

Back then, Battleships are the king of the navy. Aircraft carrier is like meh...
Just want to point out that the last frigate was decommissioned about 5 years ago
3½ days ?
what about the HMS Queen Elizabeth?
I’m going to point something out There’s something every missile needs is the kill chain if you don’t have that kill chain Those missiles and not reaching anywhere near a carrier strike group Those missiles and not reaching anywhere near a carrier strike group only one nation I think it could possibly do that it’s China And only if the US put the carrier strike group too close to the coast line

It’s not just the very expensive carrier but the experience and training of the navy. The US has 200+ years of naval experience, China has less than 50. Now with cruise missies that becomes a problem but eventually a counter will be invented.
Yea claiming the US navy is manned by sailors over 200 years old now? How terrified are you to believe such BS?
Even the goatherding Iranian navy can capture US warships with ease and make them cry on camera as they call for Commander Mommy. Over 70% are not even qualified to be on any ship remember the real world facts not made up by ... ghost crews?

Michel Platteeuw OK, “Michael”. Settle down, “Michael.” What is “Plateeuw” supposed to be anyway? Dutch or something.
There is certainly value in having hundreds of years of experience in naval warfare because the country learns to make thousands of decisions each day from the RECORDED and REMEMBERED aggregated knowledge over that time by personnel trained for years with older sailors. Personal mentorship. Leadership. Prioritization. Evaluation.
You cannot find this in the stolen material CCP has from the US.
The CCP is in for a very rude awakening if it keeps trying to push the US out of the Pacific, “Michael.”

The Chinese navy is very vulnerable with only two carriers and the Russians with only one is in even worst shape. The U.S. and the U.K. navies are more advanced and so are the French and they will be the future of naval operations into the future.
What the heck is that at 3:24? Left pic
OP failed to notice that it's a photoshopped, superbly oversized ACC
China cancelled planned construction of their 5th and 6th carriers 2 months ago, citing "technical complexity and cost issues" Their economy is getting squeezed hard!! When they start cancelling major warship contracts, you know they're in trouble!
Of course their economy got hit hard over the last few years especially this year and many companies are leaving china namely samsung and others. How i wish this will be the start of chinas downfall.

How is it that China squired aircraft carrier technology??

china get old used aircraft carrier from the ussr russia made it
If the USA Navy had the Barak-8 missiles that Israel sold to India, it would greatly enhance their overall missile defenses. Also the bank of air defense missiles they carry on the aircraft carriers only holds 8 missiles. I'd think they would be more prepared with banks of 24's.
oculos prudentium that’s what the carrier group is for. US carriers are never alone it has an escort of like 50+ ships.
@@Angl0sax0nknight My kid could sink an US CBG at full strenght in under 10 mins. Our kids must become Rippers before they get a ship remember?
Why they are called sitting ducks. US navy couldn't stop a single missile if they tried really. Remember the Battle of Bubiyan when they tried it? Didn't work out.
Even at 100% interception a full US CBG could take out up to 200 incoming targets. Why we wiped the entire US fleet in one single salvo ... of 800 missiles. Gotta love RIMPACS right? You can reset and? Do it again. ;-)
I would just walk aboard a US carrier. Get into the secure reactor rooms and throw a paperclip somewhere really bad. Easy!

rev scander it’s not just the attack but the repercussions of the attack and the response after. I wouldn’t want to be with in a hundred miles of the place that launches missiles at US ships.
That’s the main thing. The carriers are supported by a fleet of various ships all with impressive detection and suppression defense weapons. And who would want to face the repercussions of an attack.
@@Angl0sax0nknight Yea we know a single Vietcong with a backpack bomb can sink a US carrier. Then they ran the Americans out of their countries one bodybag after the other.

No navy on this planet has ever detected one of our d/e Perishers in over 70 years. Do remember during Northern Star we were 6 feet under the hull of a US carrier undetected for 3 weeks. Just waiting till the last day to wipe the entire US CBG. ;-)
Now Russia could surface one of their subs. Sail past all the escorts till they hit the US carrier. See? Easy.
Remember how that Chinese Song class surface past all those escorts alongside that US carrier?
Hmmm almost seems like there are no 'impressive detection and suppression defense weapons' at all. So fake news and propaganda due to huge fear? We all know they are sitting ducks?

The best thing of the ford class carriers it not its weapons and aircraft or even its engines its the Fact it can be upgraded that why its will be in service till 21st century no other carrier in the world has this ability. But the railguns wont be added to carriers sinse they become useless after several guns maybe energy weapons sinse it has nuclear reactor to power the ship.
Sure nice fake news. We know for a proven fact without using a capital letter in the middle of a sentence that the Ford cannot launch one single fully loaded fighter. It is suppose to be a carrier but it cannot even do that for over 14+ billion taxdollars.
No one is gonna fall for some guy pretending there is a 'till 21st century'? Every kid in school will know we are in the 21st century? Anno Domini remember?
Now if something powers a ship? How can it power any 'energy weapons'? You think the US has magical Hollywood weapons now? lmao!
'the railguns'? Sure from which movie? Care to show us one single railgun firing off the deck of any ship?
All the aircraft carriers in the world are in service in the 21st century.
It is the 21st century now brain donor.
One well placed bomb will make a well placed hole, but the big carriers are compartmentized and you can break it into 2 pieces and still not sink it for days or weeks
Wrong!
I saw a video of INDIA,going off on CHINA with everything they got at the same time... O.M.G. that's showing CHINA we might look like theirs no way, I guess theirs someone much bigger and on INDIA'S good side... DO NOT MISTAKE INDIA, THEY ARE TO BE HIGHLY RESPECTED LIKE ANY OTHER COUNTRY...

What?
Why the rudiculous music?
FYI: It's the Japanese Imperial Navy not Royal Navy.
India's INS Vikrant is superb. go check it.
Having an aircraft carrier is the same as having a runway except you get the benefit of moving. You're still coveted by inmeansr screens of ABMs. Some would even say the Aegis ABM is better than the ones we have on land. Without launch detection capabilities I don't believe yet that ballistic missiles pose such a threat, and china's Hypersonic glide vehicle is inaccurate and not easy enough to control to pose a threat. Their carrier development is scary and so is their aircraft development. As they have stolen terabytes of tech specs and manufacturing secrets and so on. Essentially China doesn't yet have the quality of manufacture and the ability to make what they steal but they quickly will approach a point by 2030 where their cheap electronics become sensitive military electronics that maybe the US won't even know how to produce. In order to prevent this from happening we must protect our military industrial complex from Cyber attacks.
Theese ships are as flat as denmark
Just thought of something, Trump class when will they be online with the Navy
so many awesome weapons are built, but there is no battle ground ... so bad! Why not to designate some patch in the Pacific Ocean where anybody can fight anybody for real ?
Shows a car engine block when talking about building an aircraft carrier.. talks about advanced catapults , shows a ship with no catapults ... ???
It’s not your weapons that keep you safe, it’s the depth of your pockets
Anyone smart enough will understand what Im saying
i dont know i think super carriers may still have a chance if they bring more capable escorts think about it destroyers with lasers and high speed interceptors instead of 2 smaller carriers you can have ships like the zumwalt with less crew and more escort oriented roles of protecting the carrier from threats it is easier to protect 1 ship from constant assault than 2.
Thinking about something does not make it real? You think about these 'lasers' and they magically appear? Or are you just talking out your back end?

Wow l am early
Ok let's get some perspective here because there is only one way to treat a bully and that is to take the bull by the horns and tear them off. So if you REALLY want to intimidate your enemies with carriers you need at least 10,000 which would be 10-12 times larger with 1000 aircraft each plus all the sophisticated high tech shit which can cruise at 300MPH with a top speed of CLASSIFIED plus 1000 support ships per carrier including 250 nuclear subs with 5000 missiles plus an impenetrable defence dome with a radius of 5,000 miles. Then you can pound the Spratlies out of existence with impunity while leaving your enemies PETRIFIED witless and shitless and just in case the little bastards want to spoil your action you can release 1 MILLION MISSILES SIMULTANEOUSLY Now that will substantially reduce the size of the argument
U said 721.5 billion per year but its trillion
Josh Se someone needs to learn math. The US national debt is at 22-23 trillion not in the quadrillions

Idiot!
MROOD You should consider keeping your opinions quiet and letting people suspect that you are a fool instead of putting your opinions out there and letting people know for sure that you are a fool.
I am convinced that many of us Westerners are envious of Chinese and Russian development:
1) Europe with its 650 million inhabitants is a more importent market for the Asians than the US with 325 million inhabitants. Europe with its 48 countries (28 in EU) have almost the same GDP (in total) as US with its 50 States and maybe Walmart has to produce their own stuff in the future! The GDP/year increase 3-4 % in China and 6-7% in India and both countries have about 1,4 billion inhabitants each!
By 2030 China will have the same GDP as US and by 2050 it has doubled it (twice the US GDP) and by 2050 India will have the same GDP as the US according to international calculations! www.pwc.com/gx/en/issues/economy/the-world-in-2050.html
2) They are building gas & oil pipelines, highways & railways on the old "Silk Road" from Asian countries to Russia/Europe for future trades between them. The trades are about 10 times faster on land than on sea and US can´t affect that if disagreements arise (despite having a dozen carriers which are "sitting ducks" to missiles 2-3 times faster than defending missiles)!
The Royal Navy has said their new aircraft carriers have no defence against the Russian zircon missile. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/royal-navy-new-queen-elizabeth-class-aircraft-carriers-not-stop-russia-zircon-missiles-hypersonic-a7651781.html
Proposal is that the trade should take place in petrojuan, euro or any other agreed currency instead of petrodollar via the BRICS organization! (BRICS = Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa)! The US has difficulty controlling production in China!
3) 2/3 of all industries is in Asian countries and 2/3 of all population lives there so the future market will be there. All countries are copying and develops products - EVEN the US. In 10-15 years, China, India & Russia have passed US in technology they think. China, India & Singapore have the best education systems in the world acoording to conducted surveys especially in math & physics! There are 10 times more PhD´s graduates / year in both China & India than in the US!
The Government pays for students to study at universities in China and in the Scandinavian countries. In the US it is very costly so what happens if these American universities shut out students from other countries ... Bankruptcy I believe!
By the way: IT companies in Silicon Valley are largely managed by Chinese and Indian people!
4) China has developed the world´s fastest supercomputer and has sent taikonauts to space , Maglev Trains operating at speeds of up to 430 km/h (270 mph) among other things and India has their own "GPS satellites"! Most Westerners don´t even know how Maglev Trains works (do a search)! China plans to build its own space station and has recently landed on the moon's backside with a vehicle to investigate it geologically!

Trump - You stole our 5G technology
Xi Jinping - But you don’t have 5G
Trump - That’s because you stole it
5G is conquering the world. You either hop on the train or left behind at the station. Russia, China & India have their own "Silicon Valley"
5) NASA uses Russian rocket engines, which, according to the US Space Agency, are more powerful and are more reliable than the domestic ones. US Austronauts are sent safety to ISS from Russia with Russian space rockets!
6) Russia & China are investing in Asia, East Europe, Africa & South America with infrastructure and help the residents build industries there while US just sells weapon systems (not the latest developed)! The US can almost only offer weapons and therefore they have a sharp deficit in trade balance with other countries!
Russia is building Nuclear Plants (3:rd generation) in different countries - including 4 in Egypt, 5 in India, 2 in Bangladesh, 3-4 in China, 1 in Finland etc and totaly 13 countries are in line to order so far!
US intervenes and sanctions countries that don´t follow US rules (even against their "allied") and creates war against those who don´t obey! Guess which ones are most popular !!!
Did US and NATO involvement (bombing/destruction) in Libya, Somalia, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan etc made more freedom to the people or more terrorist groups do you think?
Now US is moving her "take over plans" to Iran and Venezuela to get control over their oil sources as well! ruclips.net/video/9RC1Mepk_Sw/видео.html8)
