Well, howdy there internet people, let's Bob again.

So today we are going to talk about China and Russia in the United States and football.

Number of questions came in about whether or not China was more of a near

peer than Russia.

One in particular asked whether or not

they were better than Russia

and if they were truly a pier. So we're going to go through that. Now keep in mind this is

conventional toe-to-to-toe match-ups. The States, and I'm going to use this analogy because I scrolled

your profile, the United States Super Bowl Champs. Russia Russia has proven itself to be a community college team. China is a college team, maybe a championship college team.

We don't know because there's a lot of stuff we don't know about the Chinese military.

You have the stats, you have the equipment, you have the numbers, all of that stuff.

But we don't know how the Chinese military actually fights, how well they integrate. We don't know this because the Chinese military doesn't engage

in a lot of you know military foreign interventions. Good for them.

I kind of wish the US was a little bit more like that to be honest.

But because of not really seeing it in in action.

Don't know.

There's a lot of question marks.

Their equipment is good.

Estimates suggest it is definitely better maintained than the Russian equipment.

They have a good manufacturing base. They have a lot of people.

There are questions about their logistics.

I remember with Russia, logistics really played a role in the early failure.
