The only easily influenced one in south east Asia are the Malaysian Chinese lah.

This is because they didn't completely assimilate to the majority race like those pinoy Chinese, Viet Chinese, indo Chinese, Thai Chinese who all have no Chinese name and speak only the local language and maybe their dialect. Hence they still feel like outsiders who are not accepted by their majority thus have to turn to China.

Singapore we are already the majority so there is no need to be subservient to China as we have our own Motherland which is Singapore and have totally different culture and upbringing compared to the tiongs.

They can't even stop their own people from being disloyal and flee from China, don't even need to talk about those descendants of old china whose ancestors left way before the PRC government was even around.
U insinuating minorities here motherland is not sg?

I always feel Germans are the superior fighting force in WW2... they only lost due to attrition... US joining the war with their superior manufacturing capabilities really tilt the war in favour towards the allies...

3500 Merchant Ship Sunks and they still able to supply Britain under Siege & even stock up Supplies in prep of Invasion of Occupied Europe.

US manufacturing capability are a beast in WW1 & 2.

Now USA can't do the same as WW2 le. Their equipment is ridiculously complex and expensive.
Only Russia still keep the mentality of must be able to mass produce.

But nowadays they dun need to carpet bomb like in WW2 just to hit all the major targets.... nowdays is like fire long range missile like SLAMER or tomahawk cruise missile to pinpoint attack the weapons factory etc.. can even prevent collateral damage and killing of civilians... sibei satki... just look at Israel can call and warn people to leave building before taking out the building with pinpoint accuracy missile attack. The only reason why need to carpet bombs nowadays is to take out airport runway... making it extremely difficult to repair it... but I think there is another solution like fire 1 big cruise missile and then when close to runway.. it will release many many smaller cluster bombs.. and destroy the runway.

Ww2 German had the best nco of any military. German high command and German tech were overrated.

It was their nco that made the german force so deadly. Once they started dying in the battlefield, the German couldn't replace them.

That's correct. Technology allows precision attacks. In ww2 it probably take hundreds attack runs to destroy a target. Modern tech only need one run.

Laser bombs first used in Vietnam with astonishing results.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser-guided_bomb
"The most dramatic example was the Thanh Hoa Bridge, 70 miles south of Hanoi, a critical crossing point over the Red River. Starting in 1965, U.S. pilots had flown 871 sorties against it, losing 11 planes without managing to put it out of commission. In 1972 the “Dragon’s Jaw” bridge was attacked with Paveway bombs, and 14 jets managed to do what the previous 871 had not: drop the span, and cut a critical North Vietnamese supply artery.[4]"

The Russian military power is too weak for US to notice. It military technologies are now decades behind the west.
