I’m not disagreeing with you per say. Homefield advantage isn’t nearly as big of an advantage as it used to be. The logistical train the us has had extensive experience using over the decades and the strides made in surveillance are just insane.
Yes there is the population, time to fortify and all that. But the big factors of being far from home, not having resources, and not knowing what you are walking into are not nearly as bad as it used to be.
If the United States has to cut China out of logistics and China has to cut the United States out of logistics, that would be very hairy, but I see this as the United States using hard power to undermine its soft power in the long term. I hope that the people in charge of nukes in the USA can’t or don’t start a nuclear war in that situation.
