Americans need to chant "everyone elses stuff is shit made by goblins out of scrap iron" sitting on their $50,000 Raytheon Tactical Buttock Supporters as Chinese hypersonic missiles annihilate their carrier group, or they are blown up by a rusty 1970s soviet land mine strapped to a donkey, because USA #1 is a question of identity not rational judegement

Russia's ewar, artillery and medium rage missile capabilities for example probably meets or exceeds the americans
