Tips to peacefully gain PP (Power projection): - Keep longtime rivals: +5 per rival - Embargo rivals: up to +10 per rival - Insults rival: +5 or +10 for scornful insults - Subsidize rival's enemies Maintaining 50+ PP will grant a nation extra Administrative, Diplomatic and Military power.

Did they though? Yeah they won but they struggled to get there. I could be mistaken so don’t jump down my throat but didn’t one of the carriers have to turn around after leaving port? Leaving air power relying on one carrier. It wasn’t a carrier carrying 50+ jets I think they held 12-20. Again could remembering this wrong but I think bucks had to turn around too but again I could have that wrong. What I was wondering is why they didn’t use bases in the us? Don’t get me wrong they went down there and did their thing but I never understood why we didn’t help with that.

"To burn everyone else's"

The US has force projection capabilities of defending homeland and allies as well as fully operating two different theaters of war, there is not a single nation on earth able to even do part of this. China is trying but it's still way behind. Russia can't even properly enforce its will on a nation right on its doorstep. Iran uses lots of proxies because they severely lack any capabilities to deploy it's own forces for a sustained amount of time even in the region it claims is under its influence. All of our allies rely heavily on US military infrastructure to send their forces into coalition conflicts. They all have strictly defensive militaries if they even have one at all

The U.S. can refuel its aircraft in the air, anywhere in the world they are needed. No one else can do that. They are the only true blue water navy. The Chinese have no submarines comparable to Americas. Their ships are sitting ducks. Their hypersonics are actually modified ballistic missiles. Because they have a predictable trajectory, the Patriot missile systems in Ukraine have already proven that this can be shot down. The B2 stealth and b21 raider bombers can fly over any country and can’t be shot down. No one is even close.

As much as power projection is imprtant, not being affected by power projection is also important, this comes with good natural geographical protection + lucrative liquidity (resources) + securing trade (with alternative or neutral partners) The countries that come in this club are - India (natural naval protection) - China (ample trading partners) - Russia (enough resources) - Canada (geographical isolation) - Saudi Arabia (large support base & liquid assets)

Good job as always mates. One thing I would clarify though is when you were describing the difference between hard and soft power, soft power is always the implied application of hard power. That's why it's soft. There is no soft power if there is no implied hard power.

France and the UK still have power projection capabilities. They both have base around the world and aircraft carrier. And France's intervention in Mali was a success in term of power projection (in terms of result, it is an other story).

For those of you wondering why the US is so generous to Israel, think about how much money it takes to build and run an aircraft carrier that then must move to where you want it. They are amazing machines but having an ally as close as Israel is in one of the most volatile and economically pivotal locations on Earth is worth just an awful lot. The US has quite a lot of assets parked in Israel that are ready to go when someone in the region acts up.
