Art of war is making both appear true. Realistically, we almost certainly have a couple gens of advancement beyond where our conventional junk more or less stalled. With a Space Force consisting of the most advanced stuff, US mainland is basically unassailable, conventional forces not needed. If they aren't needed, you can project w/e image you want. Both, most definitely, CAN be true.
Doomer porn is fun, but the reality is that we are light years ahead of the Russians and the Chicoms. Its obvious.
Now, do we want to try invading either of them? Certainly not. But our recent experiences in Afghanistan aren't comparable because we were under VERY strict RoE. That would not be the case in a peer-to-peer conflict. It wouldn't be a cakewalk like Iraq of course.
Such a conflict won't occur unless Putin loses his mind and invades someone other than Ukraine, or if the Chicoms decide we are stretched too thin to defend Taiwan. And even then, that will mostly be Naval and Air, not Ground.
Read the above post and the one before it. Which is correct? Can't be both.

Amazing how the comment above yours assumes I didn’t read previous comments and my reply was in error and not the counterpoint it’s intended to be..
That a counterpoint to a thread is met with confusion is a bit telling.
America still as supreme dominance. Half these doomer comments suggesting otherwise, here, and on Twitter, are from Ip address NOT located in the USA.
Our enemy uses demoralization campaigns 24/7. Should be obvious.
Some anonymous text message and look how much traction it artificially gets.
