You didn't read what I wrote. America's military is powerful and unmatched when fighting a conventional enemy. America's primacy is unmatched. North Korea and Russia and most nations stand no chance in a conventional war. However when it comes to guerilla and asymmetrical warfare America's weakness is exposed. Primacy does not mean invincibility. What is the US military's weakness? Afraid of taking high casulties, reliance on advanced expensive technology,reliance on aerial/naval assets.
You know why Russia and China.invested in advanced cheap anti ship missiles like the P-800 Onik(Yakhont) and the C-802 Silkworm ? Because they knew they have chance keeping up with the US in building expensive ships. So they made these advanced anti ship missiles that are faster than the Aegis system can detect. Basically use cheap weapons but effective weapons to destroy expensive American ships
Same applies with the Russian S-300/S-400 and Chinese Hq-9. Cheap but effective anti air assets that can take down expensive American jets. This is the hallmark of China and Iran A2/Ad strategy. Which is to deny access to specific area to American navy and aerial assets and deny them entry to those areas with anti ship,anti aircraft and ballistic missiles. The US has no effective counter measures for A2/AD. Especially in Iran 's case which the Persian Gulf and Straight of Hormuz favors Iran's A2/AD asymmetrical strategy.
Just like in sports you can have the best team in the league but that doesn't mean you do not have weaknesses that another team can expose. And just like sports there is matchups. The US matches up well conventionally against North Korea,Russia,Syria etc but other matchups do not favor it. Like Iran.
Na he's activeHe was a reserve or something right?
The reason we started that war and the mission, operation steal Iraqi oil was a colossal failure...The US military practically finished off Saddams military within the first week with only Air power, so how did the US get exposed?

Untrained goat herders once again proved our ground troops can't hold a position, hence the exposed...
That doesn't mean a win is guaranteed. Word to every war we've been in since WWII, outside of the Korean War and Operation Desert Storm. Having the biggest army doesn't mean shyt when you're on someone else's turf

North Korea said on Sunday it was ready to sink a U.S. aircraft carrier to demonstrate its military might, in the latest sign of rising tension as U.S. President Donald Trump prepared to call the leaders of China and Japan
"Our revolutionary forces are combat-ready to sink a U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with a single strike," the Rodong Sinmun, the newspaper of the North's ruling Workers' Party, said in a commentary.
The paper likened the aircraft carrier to a "gross animal" and said a strike on it would be "an actual example to show our military's force".
Pence said three times during a press conference with the Australian prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, that “all options are on the table” and refused to rule out military action against the recalcitrant nuclear-armed regime.
“While all options are on the table, let me assure you the US will continue to work closely with Australian and our other allies in the region, and with China, to bring economic and diplomatic pressure to bear on the regime in Pyongyang until they abandon their nuclear and ballistic missile program,” Pence said.
He said a generation of “strategic patience” with the North Korean regime, under Kim Jong-Il and then his son, Kim Jong-un, had failed utterly and the Trump administration was determined to pressure North Korea to stop developing nuclear weapons.
“The era of strategic patience is over,” he reiterated.
North Korea has bluntly warned Australia of a possible nuclear strike if Canberra persists in "blindly and zealously toeing the US line".

"If Australia persists in following the US moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK and remains a shock brigade of the US master, this will be a suicidal act of coming within the range of the nuclear strike of the strategic force of the DPRK," the report said.

The US is gonna attack at the next missle launch/attempt (this Tuesday-Thursday).
They already let allies within the region know.
That's why you see Russia, China, Japan and SK gearing up.
Prepare for fukkery.
Of course I have no intel to back this up...but it seems plausible.
